To refresh your recollection, here's what we saw from Anita Bryant in 1977:
Bryant strongly expressed the position that gay people — unless they kept "in the closet" — should not be allowed to work as schoolteachers.
१६ एप्रिल, २०२३
"The focus on perceived threats to impressionable children has a long history in American sexual politics."
"It has its roots in the 'Save Our Children' campaign championed in 1977 by Anita Bryant, the singer known for her orange juice commercials, to repeal a local ordinance in Dade-Miami County that prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation, a historic setback for the modern gay rights movements."

All I remember about Bryant is that she was mocked by whatever media I consumed. I would've been 13 at the time, attending Catholic school.
Hollywood and magazines have dominated youth opinion for a long time.
My fist reaction is: Straw man. The concern is the sexualization of young children, granting pedophiles access to small children, grooming and brainwashing of young children, and sexual exhibitionism requiring the involvement of young children…but if a universal aspect of homosexuality is accessing young children for expression of sexuality and we’re just recently letting that part out of the closet, then Bryant was spot on…
Conservatives didn’t go searching for a cause; the cause came knocking on our daughters’ locker room doors.
I went back and looked at some of the photos at drag queen story hour at Urban Abbey Omaha. Some of the kids appear to be 3-5. So, yes, impressionable.
And the dishonest NYT is conflating gays with trans.
Wasn’t it the campaign FOR transgender rights what motivated conservatives, as well as fair-minded athletes, parents, etc? There is a broad spectrum of people against these so-called rights, which effectively bully people into allowing biological men into biological women’s spaces, events and honors. People advocating for genital mutilation are not just a “perceived” threat!
The NYT writer is perceiving this issue backwards, on purpose, to denigrate the real threat to a simple religious whine.
…and I have a problem with the soft peddling of a ‘perceived’ threat.
The push back on the trans militants and drag shows involving children has nothing to do with civil rights or "tolerance" or political philosophy or religion and everything to do with revulsion to the obvious pedophile undercurrents and indecency associated with the movement. That's not going to change, no matter how much you or the NYT lobby for it. This is not the same as the gay rights or same sex marriage movements, it's about child abuse. We listened to your arguements regarding the NC "same sex bathroom and locker room" law that produced a boycott of NC. We were assured that opening the girls' locker rooms would not mean perverts would use the opportunity thus granted to legally ogle naked children. In retrospect how well do your academic arguements about that hold up in the girls locker rooms? If you've been paying attention you know.
Given what has surfaced on places like TikTok, maybe Bryant was prescient. I'm not a religious person so what the Bible says about homosexuality carries no water for me, but I believe all teachers, gay, straight, leftwing, rightwing, religious, not religious, should keep their sexual, religious, and political beliefs out of the classroom. No rainbows to signify gay pride, and no rainbows to signify the covenant God made with Noah. Kids should be addressed by the name and gender that appears on the birth certificate they used to register for school unless it has been legally changed. A teacher's religion, sexuality, and political leanings should not be questioned in hiring, but if they become the culture of their classroom, the teacher should be let go. Bryant isn't saying homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to teach, and neither am I.
Are gay rights trans rights?
I always thought Gay marriage was gays wanting to enjoy the same rights as straight people. I was sold on that, right then.
What trans rights are trans now not enjoying that straights and gays are enjoying?
I have more questions than answers at this… juncture.
The fact that minors are getting surgically altered is… disturbing.
Sorry if I sound transphobic but removing body parts from a minor is not like going to a lawyer to get a divorce.
If I’m wrong I want to hear convincing, persuasive arguments that this is is all safe and effective for minors.
Adults can do whatever the fuck they want.
It should have opposed gay marriage, as a perversion of the institution. Everybody was for civil unions though.
Marriage is (was) a domestication of mutual suspicions between men and women. That's how Thurber's men and women became art. There's no such dynamic in gay marriage.
Wm. Kerrigan
We are men and women. It almost always matters which we are. Men and women are aggressive. Their regard for each other is clouded by grudges, suspicions, fears, needs, desires, and narcissistic postures. There's no scrubbing them out. The best you can hope for is domestication, as in football, rock, humor, happy marriage, and a good prose style.
Terry Schilling is a plant.
I found even more pictures of Drag Queen story hour. One showed a crawling baby admiring the pink high heeled shoe of the guy dressed like Dolly Parton. The liberal adults are smiling broadly.
We all know where this is headed.
Screw the NYT, this is simply a return to sterilization of undesirables. Instead of "forced", they claim "gender affirmation". Whatever the claim, gender fluidity as a concept doesn't exist. As soon as a child hints at being transexual, any adult can take that child to the states of Washington and California and have the child sterilized for life. Too bad if your gender was fluid. The only difference, as Begley notes, is instead of gays, it is transsexual, except they keep conflating the two, so let them explain why they do so as they push sterilization.
David Begley can just claim to have seen things, never providing proof.
Reporter claims to have seen hate speech on Twitter (as have most who are on there daily), commenters here claim he is lying.
Given the amount of times Begley has been wrong here, perhaps it's time to start ignoring the claims of Nebraska's #1 Trans hater.
Schools (and churches) have always been full of homos. In my lifetime the few gays I knew went into teaching, and you can read the past in literature.
They love kids!
Just, if you have kids and the teacher really really likes working with them, no overnight trips mmmkay?
That gay people oughtn't teach is ridiculous. My favorite class in high school was taught by a lesbian gym teacher. It was called "Health Class" but what made it so great was she'd outline every lesson on the chalk board in advance so we could take good notes. That, and she showed us all how to properly groom our fingernails.
she was right, now every perversion you could devise, is pushed in the schools, and the students are more ignorant in the things that matter,
It's not a "perceived" threat. Kids are actually being mutilated. Kids are having mental health issues. The latter I see in my own family. I hope it doesn't lead to the former.
The republicans didn't have to go looking for this cause. Laws are being passed that threaten to remove children from their parents if the parents object to their children becoming a science experiment for the trans cult. Does the new york times think there won't be a very real push back? They really believe the angry reaction to the radical transgender movements' effect on children is just about politics?
This is why I hate the new york times; so much spin and deception in every sentence.
Some believe that the Human Rights Campaign, having been taken unawares by their quick victory with gay marriage, quickly shifted gears to "transgender rights" at the same time that social media evolved leading to a contagion among adolescent girls. Most notable transgender cases up until recently were men in middle age--Jan Morris, Renee Richards, Dierdre McCloskey, Jennifer Pritzker, Caitlin Jenner. Now we have young girls by the score saying they are really boys--and being encouraged to mutilation of their bodies at a time when many cannot get a tattoo legally.
When people stopped believing in God, that had consequences. It is amazing indeed to watch intelligent, privileged people stop believing in biology.
The reason we don't want transgendered teachers in schools is that they are delusional and deluded.
One obvious difference is who had the corporate sponsorship deal then, and who has the corporate sponsorships now?
Do you know who’s children are not going to drag story time? The children of urban liberal elites. They want their kids to follow them to achievement and power, to continue the dynasty, not to be a sterile caricature of a person. Do trans kids go to HBS and become CEO’s? (Of course they do dear.) The child trans cannon fodder are the children of middle class graspers who want to be associated with elites. Mom needs a mission. Similar to the moms need a kid beauty pageant phenomenon.
I suppose that if gayness is indeed a genetic behavior then there will be more trans people and fewer gay people in the next generation, at least until the moral panic bubble breaks.

"Perceived" redefined, FIFY.
And there it is! Eric the Fruit Bat's lesbian gym teacher was a groomer.

John Wayne Gacy certainly fits in the new definition. Colorful person!
Well, I remember a time when gay rights activists were against “conversion therapy”. I remember a time when it was OK if a little girl wanted to play with trucks, or a little boy wanted to play with dolls. A time where we said it was OK if children didn’t conform to the gender stereotype of their biological sex.
That does not appear to be the case anymore. Effeminate boys and masculine girls are told that they are actually “inhabiting the wrong body”. It’s not OK to be weird and nonconforming. Instead they are going to use radical surgery to conform your body to your behavior, whether it makes sense or not. And who are likely to be the victims of most of this surgical conversion therapy? Gay kids. And yet somehow mutilating and sterilizing gay children is LGBTQ+ affirmation?
Republicans didn’t have to go looking for this fight. It showed up all on its own in girls locker rooms and athletic competitions.
If you think that having Lia Thomas compete against biological women is anything approaching “sport”, then you clearly have no interest in sports or athletics at all.
If you think that Falon Fox smashing the orbital bone of a biological woman is sporting, you don’t know anything about sports
"Given the amount of times Begley has been wrong here," Mark said, citing no examples.
No adult should share details of their partner's lives in the classroom. They should teach the damn subject.
You still haven't addressed the real issues raised by this social contagion, even by people who work in guiding adults through gender dysmorphia. Dishonest of you.
Socialization and cultural influences on children of course matter.
As an elementary school kid around 1980, at school before school started, we played a game where a group, all boys, threw one tennis ball/racquet ball against a wall. If you caught it cleanly, you threw the ball back against the wall. If you dropped it, you had to run to the wall and touch the wall. While you were running, someone was allowed to grab the ball and throw it at the person who dropped the ball. "Pegging" the person. If you missed on your "peg" attempt, you had to run to the wall and someone could peg you. A cycle could commence. Also, each time you dropped a ball you received a point. Once you had accumulated 3 or 5 points, that person had to go to the wall and everyone playing lined up about 10 feet from the person on the wall and threw as hard as they could to "peg" the kid on the wall.
There are attributes (positive and negative) that were learned from this activity. The school leaders eventually forced us to stop playing.
The game had several names, which I shall not write here, but I remember from over 40 years ago.
Bryant strongly expressed the position that gay people — unless they kept "in the closet" — should not be allowed to work as schoolteachers.
Given where we are today, many of us think she was right. Just for the record, I don't think straight teachers should discuss their sexuality at school either.
Mark:
I can’t post pictures here, but go to the Facebook page of Urban Abbey Omaha. It is in the Old Market at 10th and Jackson.
I don’t lie.
I don't know about Anita Bryant's music/singing, but she is pretty in the shot AA captured. Hubba hubba.
The NYT gets it backwards. The gay lobby conquered the world, and instead of reaching India and weeping, like Alexander the Great, they decided to conquer reality. The outcome is still in doubt.

How times have changed! Thirty years ago, it was OK for the plot to turn on transgender humiliation (The Last Seduction) or for a transgender sicko to be the murderer (Dressed to Kill). And of course, Norman Bates had some identity issues in Psycho. There was a time of transition (The Crying Game, The Danish Girl, Kinky Boots). Soon the transition from zero to hero (or she-ro) will be complete.
Sounds like she was prescient. There is NO reason for an adult to celebrate their sex lives with children except for grooming them.
She was, as the saying goes, on the wrong side of history. So for that matter were Roman Polanski, Charlie Chaplin and all those rock stars who had relations with their underage groupies...Shame and the libido are constant companions, but, in different eras, we're ashamed of different things.....Anita Bryant was voicing a very old and very common antipathy. Roman Polanski was acting out a very old and very common urge....Nowadays we're supposed to be more ashamed of homophobia than teeniphilia (or whatever the word is). It's all good. So long as our betters retain their moral superiority and can instruct us in the proper ways of expressing our libido the world can continue progressing.
“My fist reaction is”
Careful, rehajm!
She is generally biblically correct. The interviewer ascribing bitterness to her does not comport with her words or her demeanor. This is a typical leftmedia and LGBT+ stunt Giving rise to the "homophobic" "transphobic" BS. It's an inherent part of Cultural Marxism (you know, another "conspiracy theory" rooted in fact).
There is certainly no reason for homosexuals to come "out of the closet" in the classroom other than to groom children (you know, "grooming", another "conspiracy theory" rooted in fact). LGBT+ activism is an anti-Christian movement intended to pave the way for moral relativism which in turn will pave the way for the downfall of the Republic. The preposterous, anti-scientific trans movement suggests it is succeeding.
Bryant's undoing as a performer,spearheaded by LGBT activists and documented by acrimonious lefties in Wikipedia, will not affect her standing with God. They will not be troubling her when she reaches God's Everlasting Kingdom.
The slippery slope theory, validated. Next will be the move to normalize pedophilia. The UN is already pushing it.
Republicans shouldn't fight against this perceived threat. They should just lie back and think of diversity.
Trans rights will be the next great battle for America's soul. If won by the righteous,it will postpone the takeover of Cultural Marxism. If won by the Others, it will do irreparable damage to women and children. Most of the former deserve it. The latter don't.
Either way, the LGBT movement will survive. Trans people are just cross-dressers or advanced homosexuals.
THere's a direct line from "Haha that Anita sure was a kook" to "Heather has two mommies" to Drag Queen Story hour. The next stop after Trans is probably legitimizing Pedophilia or polygamy.
The liberal/left has been playing the "There is no slippery slope, that's just crazy!" game my entire life. At every step of the way to their ultimate goal, they say this slice of salami will be their last, "we don't want the whole salami, that's just crazy!". And they end up with all the salami.
Just because people who warn against what the Left are unattractive or seem Hysterical doesn't mean they're wrong. As history shows, it often means they're right.
The article, of course, suggests conservatives are behind this curtailing of trans rights and making them afraid to walk the streets. Good to know that progressive parents love to see their daughters lose spectacularly to trans “women.” I believe the article vastly overstates the number of trans.

I used to love rainbows. I hate that every time I see an image of a rainbow, I now see politics and rancor, rather than beauty and nature.
Bryant was hot...never really noticed that before.
I'm thinking that right about now, the LGB are wondering how in the hell they ever got messed up with the T.
It doesn't really make any sense, and it is killing their brand...

Maybe Lefty Mark is considering going trans. I missed all the times Dave was wrong.
Anita had a good point. Why should teachers be talking about sex with students ?
Be gay. Fine. Be a great teacher. Fine.
But quit grooming and sexualizing children. Easy.
It is a amazing the things women and gay people can get away with in the classroom. A cis gender white guy would be rightfully railroaded for the same.
The feminists colluded with transgenders to normalize abortion (i.e. wicked solution), homosexuality, two fathers and a womb, not rape-rape, and grooming by adults with pedophilic kinks and fetishes, including: liberal males (i.e. trans/social), transgender males in schools, Scouts, churches, etc.
That said, this includes is a subset of the the transgender spectrum. Gender refers to sex-correlated attributes. Trans- refers to a state or process of divergence. Homosexuals are transgender. Political congruence ("=") is a principle of diversity ([in]equity, [ex/in]clusion) under the Progressives' Pro-Choice ethical religion.
I also remember when it was the rubes who thought 12-year old Brooke Shields shouldn't be sexualized in "Pretty Baby" and the rubes who thought Roman Polanski did something wrong.
It's easy to take the thing that turned out the way you wanted it to, and compare it to what you want to happen now. But not everything that the rubes considered morally wrong before turned out to be right.
Mountain Maven.
I agree with you. Can you cite the UN publication pushing it?
Transgenders came out of the closet, only to be socially distanced by the trans/homosexuals, trans/socials, politically congruent ("=") advocates, and feminists/masculinists conspirators. Meanwhile, a confused female adult was driven to commit mass abortion of three children and three adults by the trans/visibility activists in Levine's trans/science experiments in personal affirmation.
The most vociferous opponent in my family of the current Trans radical infatuation is a gay man. Manyy gays (e.g. Andrew Sullivan) are horrified by the viciousness and callousness of the trans radials. Are these people the modern-day versions of Anita Bryant? Give me a break. This is the typical McCarthyism of the left at work. Why credit it for a second?
Carving an exception for couplets through political congruence ("=") is phobic and bigoted. Civil unions for all consenting adults.
If one of my granddaughters, playing soccer, is crippled by some guy who's mad he didn't make starting fullback, I won't consider that a blow for social justice.
Those who do would be advised to keep their smug gloating away from me or her father.

This. I have to believe that the trans movement will crash; hard; and soon. There simply aren’t enough bona fide trans people to propagate and sustain it in the face of active revulsion or simple indifference by the great mass of the “normies,” who, BTW, are getting tired of being mocked and attacked by these feral children.
If I am wrong and the trans movement continues at a level where we have to kowtow to them or even to acknowledge their illness as if it were our problem and not their private pathology— well, I’d say it’s lights out for society as we know it.
Barbara and Anita are still alive. Anita's granddaughter is a lesbian and may be married to another woman by now. Barbara Howar was famous and notorious for something, but nobody remembers for what, and it seems like nobody knew back in the day either. She went to a lot of DC parties when Johnson was president or something like that.
"For the children" is a favorite line of Democrats. Why does it become something insidious when it's applied to trying to protect children from the trans lobby? One can imagine the Times of ancient Carthage finding something fraudulent and deceptive about efforts to ban child sacrifice.
Even Ronald Reagan opposed California's 1978 Briggs Initiative, which would have barred homosexuals from teaching in public schools. A surprising number of my high school teachers were gay, but they didn't talk about it. We didn't know and didn't spend time wondering. Now there's a demand for positive gay role models, and teachers at the old school are out, proud, and loud about it. Not an improvement over the old days.
"Bryant strongly expressed the position that gay people — unless they kept "in the closet" — should not be allowed to work as schoolteachers."
Which is certainly true, except for the part about the closet. Closeted or not, they are groomers.
this is jonathan cahns old gods, every time there was a protest it turned out to be a little ahead of the curve,
"The fact that minors are getting surgically altered is… disturbing."
A man who wants to become a woman in order to attract men.
Congratulations, you're gay!
It would be easier to just be a boring gay person and spare yourself the pain and $$ of surgery.
Except gay people are pretty much accepted everywhere, and you would get lost in the shuffle.
Being trans makes you special. You get attention. You have power.
'No adult should share details of their partner's lives in the classroom. They should teach the damn subject.'
Exactly.
We never knew anything about our teachers other than they were single (Miss) or married (Mrs.). We were backwards like that before 'Ms.' was discovered.
If I am a white supremist teacher (there must be some), I would never be allowed to hang a Nazi banner in my classroom and extol the virtues of the master race.
And yet, liberal teachers are allowed to festoon their classrooms with gay pride flags and explain to children who they prefer to fuck.
It all boils down to the teachers' unions.
Public sector unions should be illegal.
The NYT publishes an article about "Republicans pounce" on the lies of the Gender Mafia. The lies (a small sample):
- Children know what gender they really are and should always be believed.
- Gender dysphoria people will be happy if the only transition
- It's better to have a live son than a dead daughter
- Men make the best women athletes
- Rapists, murderers, domestic abusers are to believed when they say they are women
- Assaulting "transphobics" is not violence
- Blockading women-defenders in a classroom for 3 hours is a peaceful demonstration
A small sample.
One hundred years' struggle for women's rights in America and in 2023 women of the year have penises.
How'd that happen?
Transgender death by cop.
How'd that happen?
20 people shot at Sweet 16 Party.
How'd that happen?
Democrats demand children's UNDIVIDED attention to push their philosophical fentanyl.
Gender dysphoria people will be happy if the only transition
The clinical science, established at Johns Hopkins, indicates otherwise. The majority are harmed by "gender affirming care", and they cannot predict the minority that may receive some, any, fleeting benefit. While they can simulate gender with progressive alacrity, they cannot change their sex, and their mental confusion, dysphoria, even catastrophic (e.g. the woman who opened a mass abortion field recently) will be sustained or progressive condition. This is Levine's dreams of herr Mengele. This is probably when and why they discerned stability (e.g. homosexual) in the transgender spectrum.
Is Anita Bryant behind the transgender movement?
The transgender movement seems bent on erasing gays. The little boy who liked to play with dolls might have grown up gay, 10-15 years ago.
Now the transgenderists are saying that "no, he's not gay, he is a she" and using that as an excuse to turn them into sexless orcs.
Taken to an extreme, it will eventually eliminate gay men altogether.
Achieving Bryant's goal.
Next step will be to identify those with the gay gene early on and abort them.
Obviously you can't just exterminate gays after they are born. But in the womb? When they are just a lump of flesh? When it is "Her body, her choice" the woman can "choose" to abort the fetus for any reason, including gender or sexual preference, of general convenience. Society can work on women. What rational woman would choose to have a gay baby?
A generation or two and there are no more gay men. Those that might have been are carved up into freakish outcasts.
Go Anita! Another woman ahead of her time.

The story of the young woman put in the hospital by a male volleyball player last year really hit home for me.
Fortunately we don't have too much of that madness here in the deep south (Puerto Rico) and hopefully it will be slow coming (4 more years)

Grandkids are the best, John Henry! What a blessing they’ve been in our lives.
Before parents encourage children in their gender delusions they should be asked if they would permit their child to have a tattoo
The trans/homosexuals have attempted to socially distance themselves from deplorable people in the spectrum through cultural appropriation and adoption of phobic imagery and rhetoric. NOW, their politically congruent ("=") allies have joined them to socially distance them through adoption of a variation of the same phobic imagery and rhetoric. The Democrats, for their part, have doubled down with "respect for marriage" act that is diverse, inequitable, and exclusive based on nothing more than progressive religious/ethical memes. Principles of congruence ("="). Levine's dreams of personal affirmation through surgical, medical, and psychiatric dysphoria, rationalizing the vast left-wing adoption of the Pro-Choice ethical religion with principles that are internally, externally, and mutually inconsistent, thus the recurring occupations, violence, insurrections, and open abortion fields. That said, first they socially distanced from the millions of victims aborted in Planned Parenthood clinics annually, globally for climate progress etc. Deja vu. We live in recycled times.
Bryant strongly expressed the position that gay people — unless they kept "in the closet" — should not be allowed to work as schoolteachers.
Not just "gay people." All people: keep your sexuality in the closet when you're teaching kids. Young kids don't need to know anything about your domestic life, full stop. They ought to be surprised to see you in the grocery store, never having imagined that you even existed outside the classroom. You are there to teach them to read, to write, to do math, to understand science and geography, etc. And that "etc" doesn't include anything to do with sexuality, LGBT+++ pride, gender identity, and the like. Maybe a higher percentage of students would be proficient in those carefully measured disciplines, if our teachers would focus on their jobs, rather than on recruiting a new crop for the rainbow flag.
Bryant was correct. The selective equity and inclusion of diversity dogma under the Pro-Choice ethical religion has placed us on a progressive path and grade, forcing the same catastrophic incongruities that have undermined human and social viability time and time again under secular religions throughout history.
Public sector unions should be illegal.
I agree, and I'm a member of three of them.
"Being trans makes you special. You get attention. You have power." Trouble is, surgically altered trans "women" can only be receivers, not givers.
Limiting and less blessed.
Transphobic has been allowed to be the catch-all phrase for far too long. I have no irrational fear (phobia) of trans folks. I just don’t like the militant insistance that I adhere to your pronouns, that all should be accepted. I’m a gay guy and I have dismissed guys who decided I should call them girls. Sorry, not my job to indulge your fantasies. Do what you want to do in your private life, but forcing on me in public isn’t something I will do. Trying to shove things in my face with flags and t-shirts is not going to engender support from me. Phobic does not equate to distaste. I’m not phobic about martial arts movies my husband likes. I simply don’t like them. Not hateful towards them, but not folks I would take as friends.
A man who wants to become a woman in order to attract straight men.
Congratulations, you're gay!
My bold-type addition. A man attracted to men who unfortunately aren't attracted to him. It smacks, to me, of resentment.
Or maybe vengeance.
The obvious explanation for young girls' going trans seems to me to be rooted in the same bodily discomfort that literally every girl I knew, myself definitely included, went through as puberty began to hit: why can't I stay little and smooth-skinned and not lumpy? Why has even my scent changed? And good God, menstruation?! A minefield of potential social disasters! Everything is embarrassing and boys notice and mean girls notice and I'm in despair!
And then you go through it and come out the other side, and in almost every case, you're happy with being a woman. These poor girls aren't even being afforded the chance to be happy in their own skins.
I agree. I looked up the Arkansas trans case up on Pacer. There must have been 50 lawyers working on the trans side. I was astounded.
Big Trans. Also a war chest to buy all the lobbyists and therefore all the politicians…and they don’t require the Republicans to support them- just stay out of our way, they say. Gladly, say the GOP…
The old NYT go-to: the religious right. I would bet the non-religious majority of Americans, if asked, would say a male dressing like a female is play-acting. Cross-dressing. No big whoop. Whatever gets you off. Just don't pretend you really are what you're acting like or expect everyone else to alter their reality to fit your fantasy.
There is a television show in the UK called Naked Education. A group of adults take their clothes off in front of a classroom full of teenagers. I can imagine that trannies will soon demand their place in the lineup. That's where this is going.
Perhaps in season 2 they can copulate in front of the kids, for a more thorough "education".
Last night on SNL the trans cast member gave a big speech during the weekend update segment, telling us how they were all advocates "for the children". I've see every episode of that show since Chevy Chase fell off the stage on season 1, but I had to turn it off after that display of perversion.
"...but if a universal aspect of homosexuality is accessing young children for expression of sexuality and we’re just recently letting that part out of the closet...."
There is no evidence this is so. (And, you leave unsaid that there are heterosexual pederasts as well as homosexual pederasts).
I take as a given that the exaggerated, even hysterical, campaigns to alarm the public about "threats" to children by sexual perverts of various and sundry kinds are popular among the right because they have few or no actual policy ideas to address the manifold other serious problems facing our or any complex society. In lieu of policy discussions, they create scapegoats and threats, demonize the other side as being active or passive facilitators of perverts (and their perversions on children), and Voila!, they have their political campaigns!

Monty Python did that in The Meaning of Life 40 years ago. (The "practical example" is about 2/3 of the way through the clip).

Some believe that the Human Rights Campaign, having been taken unawares by their quick victory with gay marriage, quickly shifted gears to "transgender rights" at the same time that social media evolved leading to a contagion among adolescent girls"
Chloe Cole does a great job of expressing that, which is why the Left works so hard to discredit and marginalize her. And given her actual experience, it makes them look foolish.
Because if there's anything the Left hates, it's the lived experience of someone that blows up their narrative.
What I am hoping for is a mad rush of trans-women trying out for the US women's soccer team. Because THAT would be awesome!

dragging out the ancient bogeyman Bryant won't change the fact that sexualizing children and bringing in pedophile perverts to read to them is disgusting and wrong
