Why do homophobic Republicans act like homosexuality is super tempting for straight people ?

They're obsessed with "grooming" and think straight kids are going to magically turn gay if they watch a drag show or read a book with gay characters in it

They aren’t exactly the brightest bulbs in the fixture.

by Anonymousreply 2December 6, 2022 5:34 PM

Most of them clearly have some fantasy about it, so they think everyone else does too - which puts them at increased "risk" for "grooming." I could never be straight and most of the truly straight people I know could never be gay.

The fear of the drag show thing is that they will molest the kids.

Because they're as twisted as this guy:

Samuel Bateman, a self-proclaimed “prophet” of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, had 20 wives, many of whom were under the age of 15.

Bateman drank wine and had sex with a male follower, Moroni Johnson, in a motel room in Lincoln, Nebraska, in front of his underage wives, some of whom were Johnson’s own daughters.

The FBI said the women and girls were required to stand naked and watch the “binding of brothers.”

It's not just because they themselves are tempted, not all homophobes are surpressing their own same-sex attraction. No, sometimes it's just because they don't want ANYONE to get the idea that it's okay to be LGBT and out, especially their own children!

Of course these people are absolutely horrified by the thought that their kids might be gay or trans and turn their family life into a nightmare where they're expected to be inclusive, so they want the kids to think that heteronormativity is the ONLY option. Same for everyone around them, they don't want their beer buddies or co-workers or their kids' teachers coming out as anything, they want to live in a heteronormative world and be part of the dominant culture, and not have to think about anything or anyone around them being different. That way, they can keep thinking of LGBT people as being some mysterious "other", because they find it safer to "other" people that are different than to admit that the regular people in their lives *are* the different ones.

IMHO same-sex desire is inborn, and the only "social contagion" involved in sexual orientation is in whether they consider it safe to come out. THe more people come out, the more realize it's safe to come out!

And that's what some of these assholes want to prevent.

i guess it can't be said enough because the anti-drag-queen reading people stick to the same talking points like glue, just like the people they take their cues from (Tucker Carlson and his ilk). . Drag queens are popular story time readers to young kids BECAUSE they look like cartoons and childrens' books illustrations. Mrs. Suzie Smith, the matronly librarian with short mousy hair and no makeup, looks like no childrens' book illustration ever. I just played for a 6 show Nutcracker run. The most popular character in the show is a man (clearly a man) in drag pretending to be Mother Ginger, in an enormous hoop skirt. He always brings the house down, and the kids in the audience often love him the most. Many other productions of the Nutcracker have also used men to play Mother Ginger (in the original story, the bon bons (little dancers) are supposed to be hidden inside her voluminous skirt and come rushing out, so size is an advantage here). Likewise, in ballet productions of Cinderella, the evil step sisters are very often played by men dancing in drag and ballet companies and choreographers have been doing it that way for many decades - so it's not some new-fangled idea. You can find many examples online. I think many people posting here have a very limited idea of the centuries-old tradition of travesty and drag as comedy or exaggeration and associate it only with RuPaul or sad small gay bars in backwards towns in the hinterlands. That's THEIR limitation and ignorance of history and theater.
