I'm assuming the original comment was about Disney having extremely liberal content?

No, it was implying that Disney's pro LGBT stance and opposition to Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill was tantamount to support for pedophilia. This is part of the Republican Party's general strategy to gain support for anti-LGBT legislation by fabricating a moral panic about pedophile "groomers" with the Democratic Party and LGBT community, in particular where support for trans rights is concerned. https://www.salon.com/2022/04/11/the-goal-of-the-gops-qanon-influenced-groomer-troll-more-political-violence/ https://www.salon.com/2022/04/11/the-goal-of-the-gops-qanon-... https://www.insider.com/grooming-pedophile-disney-baseless-buzzword-conservatives-dont-say-gay-2022-4 https://www.insider.com/grooming-pedophile-disney-baseless-b...

  Oh, that would do it. Yeah, you can tell anyone who's into insulting Disney definitely gets their opinions from news media, it's pretty obvious they've become this weeks punching bag.

    I'm not sure why you are focusing on sex itself. It is not mentioned at all in the text of HB 1557. There is a difference between gender identity, sexual orientation, and actual sex acts. You seem to be referring to sex acts. I have yet to see an example of Florida school content for K-3 that actually discusses sex acts, much less in a way that could ever be interpreted as grooming. Does this bill prohibit using a book or story in a second grade class if it features a child with two fathers? It's unclear. If it does, wouldn't it also prohibit stories with a mother & father? They would equally broach the subject of sexual & gender identity.

  It's also about integrating the Qanon idiocy into the Republican agenda.

  > This is part of the Republican Party's general strategy ... Why is it ok for the left to promote conspiracy theories about Republicans? You and the Qanon guy in the thread, there are throwing out baseless stuff that if it were from your opponents you would dismiss as conspiracy. Personally, I don't agree with (or really even understand the basis for) the "grooming" stuff I've seen on far right outlets, I think that's garbage. But I certainly don't believe there is some Republican conspiracy going on, it's just some low brow media outlets, and no doubt politicians, trying to get attention. It's not party doctrine, and its not some conspiracy

The Republican Party has been captured by the far right and this sort of thing has become party doctrine. If you're not willing to trust the sources I've posted, you can find plenty of others, with plenty of corroborating quotes from Republicans. Or feel free to present evidence to the contrary.

    I'm not sure how you can separate politicians and party doctrine. Particularly when the press secretary for the governor who signed this bill is calling everyone who opposes the bill a grooomer: https://twitter.com/ChristinaPushaw/status/1499890719691051008 https://twitter.com/ChristinaPushaw/status/14998907196910510...
