Conservatives don't actually care about kids at all. Which is why they're fine with forced child marriage, fine with forced "corrective" surgery on intersex kids that they always put an exception in for their anti-trans bills, and fine with girls getting breast enlargement surgeries.

Because it's not about protecting kids or "consent", it's about having a new boogeyman to fight against, now that it's at least slightly more morally objectionable to go after gay people, though that's not stopping them from trying there either.

Oh yeah we all know that (except for some obvious exceptions in this thread). It's always been about keeping the masses mad at each other so the top can take their share.

(Replace foreigner with any marginalized group and you'll have the GoP's talking points)

Gay people got married and became boring suburanites and became too conservative for conservatives to vilify anymore.

Trans people are now the sex-orgy demons who only live in cities and are hellbent on destroying society.

I wouldn't put it past them to come after the rest of the alphabet eventually. You know, "first they came for the bla bla". We might not be first in the oven but they'll burn us all given the chance.

There are plenty of conservative gay/lesbians who hate bisexual and trans people.

Yeah and just like jewish people who sided with the nazis, they'll be sent to the ovens too.
