He was a liberal, but was arguably the 2nd most progressive president in US history.

his anti-gay stance was a cornerstone of his first presidential campaign; then he conventiently went along w gay-marriage after the public opinion had already had changed on it; then his presidency was marked by a pair laws that gives cover to anti-gay bigots and an anti-trans law a the end of his term.

nevermind that he did less than nothing in making the equal rights amendment a thing and leveraged against project 2025.

Don't forget he threw Anita Hill under the bus and let her get hit by every wheel which to me is extremely gross.
