I am going to paraphrase George Takei who, I believe, posted that as a child he read many many stories about heterosexual children and that did not make him straight. So I am very interested in how Moms-a-Million and Ben Shapiro know gay movie characters and books make any child LGBTQ+?

It's all they've got. The American right's focus for decades has shifted from solving problems to dividing us from them, making it easier for them to seize power--though (and here's the important part), understanding that people still believe the point of government is to problem-solve means they have to present their divisiveness in the guise of "problem-solving." Et voila, the "culture wars," in which they invent meaningless "problems" for them to "solve."

what they mean is it teaches children that it is ok to be like that, and then they might come out of the closet instead of repressing their sexuality in order to "fit in"
