Context: "In April 2022, a study found that the majority of US voters oppose using the word 'groomer' - which has been described by an anti-hate group as 'dangerous' - to describe LGBTQ+ inclusive teachers and parents." https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2022/08/22/gays-against-groomers-founder-fox-news-twitter-ban/ #ConspiracyTheoryGrooming
Supplementary: "Far-right and extremist voices have launched a significant attack against the LGBTQ+ community in 2021-2022, demonizing people via repeated false claims that LGBTQ+ people are 'pedophiles' who are 'grooming' children in order to abuse them. This false and malicious narrative has been weaponized to label the LGBTQ+ community as 'groomers' and has fueled a slew of hostile legislation and policies aimed at erasing the discussion of LGBTQ+ related issues in schools, removing LGBTQ+ books from schools and public libraries and, especially, to ostracize, defame and harass transgender people. ...
Anti-LGBTQ+ figures do not use terms such as 'grooming' and 'groomer' legitimately. Instead, they imply or explicitly claim that LGBTQ+ people are pedophiles who are preying on children by discussing issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity. They claim that teaching young people about these topics is somehow really intended to encourage them to question their gender identity and sexual orientation - in other words, LGBTQ+ people are trying to 'sexualize children' and 'recruit' them into the LGBTQ+ community. ...
Baseless accusations that LGBTQ+ people and others are 'grooming' children began to circulate on Twitter in 2021, promoted in particular by conservative pundits Christopher Rufo and James Lindsay, as well as the anti-LGBTQ+ Twitter account known as Libs of TikTok. However, it wasn't until spring 2022 that 'grooming' rhetoric really became a major anti-LGBTQ+ narrative getting nationwide attention, thanks in large part to publicity surrounding a controversial anti-LGBTQ+ law passed in Florida.
On March 28, 2022, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law the Parental Rights in Education Act, often referred to by critics as the 'Don't Say Gay' bill. The law prohibits classroom instruction on gender identity or sexual orientation in grades K-3 in Florida public schools; it also prohibits instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity issues that are not 'age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students' in any grade. Like the controversy surrounding critical race theory in 2021, the Florida bill - and similar laws proposed in other states - are based on the false premise that educators are trying to 'indoctrinate' students." https://www.adl.org/resources/blog/what-grooming-truth-behind-dangerous-bigoted-lie-targeting-lgbtq-community #AdvocacyUSAntiDefamationLeagueADL #PowerControlViolationPaedophilia #IdentityLGBTQIA #AdvocacyUSManhattanInstituteForPolicyResearchChristopherRufo #WebsiteNewDiscoursesJamesLindsay #IRLDogmatistChayaRaichikAKALibsOfTikTokLoTT #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPRonDeSantisRDS #LegislationUSFloridaParentalRightsInEducationBillFLHB1557DontSayGay #PhenomnGenderIdentity #TauntIndoctrination #LiteralSubstanceMedicationPubertyInhibitor

Context: "Parents across the country are looking to national, state, and district leaders to support our nation's students, help them recover from the pandemic, and provide them the academic and mental health supports they need. Instead, leaders in Florida are prioritizing hateful bills that hurt some of the students most in need. The Department of Education has made clear that all schools receiving federal funding must follow federal civil rights law, including Title IX's protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. We stand with our LGBTQ+ students in Florida and across the country, and urge Florida leaders to make sure all their students are protected and supported." https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/statement-us-secretary-education-miguel-cardona-florida-state-legislatures-parental-rights-education-bill
