Why This Score
Scores a substantive A=65 for civil rights impact on LGBTQ youth protections via federal policy change. However, confidence is LOW (0.45) due to vague sourcing—'gutting rights' lacks specificity about which policies, regulations, or enforcement mechanisms changed. The B=44 reflects high culture-war outrage potential and media-volume mismatch typical of LGBTQ youth issues, but without concrete policy details, both scores are provisional.
