Just days after a mass shooting at a Colorado Springs LGBTQ club killed five people and injured many more, a Georgia Republican lawmaker threw an anti-gay slur at a state senator.

The wordgroomer is an anti-gay hate word. It's anti-gay and anti-trans. It makes people think that people of the same sexual orientation are pedophiles. It is similar to calling someone agay slur. If you refer to someone as a groomer, you are inciting violence against them.

The bill she has drafted would prevent children from receiving gender-affirming treatment if it were to become law.

To stop communists like this from using state government power to take children away from their parents and allow a for-profit medical industry to cut off their genitals before they are old enough to vote, I propose the Protect Children's Innocence Act.

He authored several pro-LGBTQ bills, including one that made California a sanctuary for families seeking gender-affirming treatment for their children.

He said that it was a clever blend of McCarthy red-baiting and gay-baiting.

She has a bill that is pretty close to banning trans people from being present. Kevin McCarthy is going to power her back.

Assemblyman Matt Haney, D-San Francisco, came to Wiener's defense on the social networking site.

Immediately after a mass shooting that killed 5 people because of who they are, this kind of rhetoric is intended to lead to intimidation, fear and violence. We need to be speaking loudly to confront hate because we stand 100% with the gay community.
