It's a direct attempt to conflate queer people of all stripes (but especially trans people, since mostly it's clear even to the people who use such disgusting tactics that gay acceptance is too high to try that crap on them, too) with pedophiles. Pedophiles have been known to "groom" victims by desensitizing them to being treated sexually, so people who want to pretend queer people don't exist (or make them not exist) have adopted that language for talking about all sorts of education about queer topics, especially for children.
This is part of a long history of attempts to vilify queerness by association with pedophilia (and bestiality). It's disgusting not just because of how blatant a lie it is, but also because it makes it harder to separate out actual claims of pedophilia while campaigns like this are active—some real pedophiles can hide their activity amidst the noise.
