MI State Senator Mallory McMorrow's speech went viral because she went for the heart of the "groomer" smear against LGBT folks and their allies: the people making these smears are bad, lying people who are using this harmful bandwagon to hurt people. Very much like the speech of MO state Rep. Ian Mackey, the effectiveness is in using truth to point out that these people aren't just spreading bad information, it's that they know very well what they are doing and should think about the consequences. Republican hate-mongers have been using religious piety as a fig leaf for their ambition and sadism. Calling it what it is is the only way to properly confront it, not timidly, but righteously.Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself.

Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't. pic.twitter.com/jL5GU42bTv
