Incredibly vague, but what it means is that state AG's in incredibly conservative states will not be as easily able to target LGBTQ+ resources.

The federal bureaucracy is often marginally more sane than the state ones because the politics are less localized.

That's roughly what I assumed about the state/federal split, although hedging our bets on federal bureaucracy's long-term sanity certainly seems... risky, lol. Especially now.

I read it as the LGBTQ+ group got whatever concession or pay off they were demanding and now they're giving their blessing to an otherwise awful bill.

Do you have evidence of that? I mean, the article says they got a concession, if you mean it this way: the bill was changed to meet their needs. That's how democracy is supposed to work.

I guarantee that they got paid off, there's no other way to describe it.

The feds are much more sane on LGBTQ issues, where some states are now maximize oppression. If Trump wins, however, he has a detailed plan to replace functionaries with political activists loyal to him. In that case, at least some states could be safe using the original idea.
