GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert Wants an Age Minimum Before People Come Out
wrote in a tweet posted on April 1. “Why is it so unreasonable to require people to reach a certain level of maturity before making life-altering decisions about their sexuality and identity?” Many on Twitter were quick to point out her hypocrisy, particularly on the subject of gun ownership for minors, as well as her personal history.
This is just the latest in what has become a pattern of anti-LGBTQ+ comments made by Boebert. In February, she was outspoken in her opposition to the Equality Act because it would extend civil rights protections to LGBTQ+ individuals. “We all know that that’s just the Democrats using a play on words.
There’s nothing about equality in that act. If anything, it’s supremacy of gays and lesbians and transvestites,” Boebert said in an interview on Real America’s Voice.On March 31, the congresswoman tweeted a photo of herself alongside Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt after he signed the anti-trans “Save Women’s Sports Act” into law, which bans transgender girls and women from playing on female sports teams.
Boebert also introduced and cosponsored a bill alongside 20 of her GOP colleagues that would strip trans woman swimmer Lia Thomas of her NCAA swimming championship.
