She wondered why it was unreasonable to require people to reach a certain level of maturity before making life-changing decisions about their sexuality and identity.

Boebert has faced criticism for her comments. In February, she expressed her opposition to the Equality Act, which expands civil rights protections to the LGBTQ+ community.

She asked if there was equity in the legislation for the young girls who will have to look behind their backs as they change in school locker rooms.

According to Newsweek, Boebert made remarks during an interview with Real America's Vote, calling the bill "supremacy of gays and lesbians and transvestites."
