Gays are all pedos rhetoric has been and continues to be a mainstay in right wing circles.
Are you suggesting that
children are not being improperly exposed to sex, in general, via certain LGBT groups and events?
Are you suggesting that "all" right wing circles have an anti gay marriage stance? And "all" right wing voters think "gays are all pedos?"
Anything towards transgender people and their healthcare primarily. There's other stuff as well, there's a genuine fear after what the supreme Court did to roll back abortion protections that they could see the same thing happen with gay marriage.
Also a bunch of stuff in project 2025. And before anyone chimes in says that's not part of Trump's plan, there's too many people closely associated with him and his admin both past and future to not take it seriously. There used to be a saying about those your surround yourself with and associate with being how your judged, and for some reason we either forgot it or don't want to hold Trump to that standard, which is mind boggling.
Are you suggesting that
children are not being improperly medicated or manipulated when it comes to gender dysphoria or other unrelated psychological trauma, thus resulting in a growing social contagion?
Whenever I discuss topics with people, friends, family who consider themselves Left, I feel the need to add the following disclaimer: I haven't voted for Trump. I voted for a Republican once in my life and it was a local election. I've been either a registered Dem or Ind my whole life, only recently in the last 8 years or so did I start voting for candidates from the Christian Democratic Party or American Solidarity Party. I am not, nor have I ever been, a far right, Bible thumping, MAGA loving, ultra Republican. I'm far more moderate on almost all issues.
With that said, when moderates (libertarian, dems, repubs, etc) start to see a massive radicalization within the LGBT community that targets children...that's when you see people get up in arms. This is happening, this is being studied, this is being condemned in other Western countries by medical associations and child psychologists. To act like this is just right wing prejudice and rhetoric is beyond naive and ignorant.
Most people in this country take on a "live and let live" or "to each their own" approach to life. Don't believe me? Step outside your echo chambers and go talk to someone you'd most likely disagree with, and you'll see that you're a lot more alike than you'd first think. But it requires an open mind, mutual respect, and genuine care to get to know why the other person feels/thinks the way they do.
