Child Sex Abuse


For the past year, we’ve been subjected to an endless, escalating right-wing fear mongering campaign presenting LGBTQ adults as innate child sexual predators, or “groomers,” and any children in their vicinity as victims. People are literally throwing molotov cocktails into establishments that host drag events, under the guise of protecting children. The now-feuding Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) have been the most front-facing proponents of this rhetoric (even though Boebert’s husband was jailed for exposing himself to teens in a bowling alley a few years ago).

Yet, on Wednesday, Greene and Boebart joined 26 other House Republicans to vote against the bipartisan Respect for Child Survivors Act, which overwhelmingly passed out of the House anyway and will address how the FBI has historically mishandled child sexual abuse cases.

The bill—introduced by a bipartisan team of senators including Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)—comes after survivors of the abusive former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar testified before Congress on how their reports of his abuse were buried or mishandled by the FBI. Even with 28 Republicans opposed to the bill, the Respect for Child Survivors Act passed with 215 votes from Democrats and 170 from Republicans.

Gay people seek relationships with other gay people. They want someone born like them to share their life with. They are as interested in kids as you rightys are.
