Well, welcome everybody. Today is a Friday show sort of. I know it's Wednesday, but it's our last show for the week because of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and sort of a

Friday show in format will be taking a few live calls later, but not quite as many as we normally would on Friday. I do have a bunch of stories I want to talk about and I want to start with what we all knew was only going to be a matter of time.

Right wing media is now blaming the victims of the club Q shooting in Colorado. You know, I didn't cover this shooting already.

And I got a couple emails asking why I'm going to delve into it more next week actually, but when these shootings happen, first of all, I will often wait a couple of days because I want to get the information right and these shootings are so common. I mean, just look at gun violence archive.org

Often times there's not that much more to say now this one had a particularly nefarious element to it in that it does appear that the target was chosen because of anti LGBT sentiment.

And because of now the use of the term groomer by the right, which is basically applied as a typically sexually predatory or otherwise predatory term to everything from drag shows to just a gay couple that wants to adopt a kid.

They are now using that framing to do some victim blaming and I'm going to play a couple of examples for you. Here is one from Tucker Carlson, where his guest Jamie Mitchell, who is the founder of an organization called gaze against groomers helps Tucker Carlson say listen, this is going to continue until we end Jert gender affirming care. Listen to these disgusting people.

I mean, it shouldn't have to be said, but what is anti LGBT, that these people need to understand and what is putting our community in great danger is claiming that all of us support this and just associating all of us with this.

You know, saying that groomer is an anti LGBT key slurred that is doing irreparable damage to us as a whole and is putting a really large target on our backs and unfortunately, you know, the tragedy that happened in Colorado Springs the other night.

You know, it was expected and predictable.

We all within gaze against groomers saw this coming from a mile away and sadly, I don't think it's going to stop until we end this evil agenda that is attacking children.

Now by evil agenda, she's referring to gender affirming care, which we've already talked about in detail. It is not some wild heretical thing.

It is actually something based in years and years now of study and they want to frame it as basically perverts doing things to your kids.

So so saying, listen, this is going to keep happening until we stop gender affirming care.

They're not even hiding it at this point. There's no consequences for them, at least not thus far. So why would they stop? They wouldn't.

Here is another example. This is Matt Walsh. Matt Walsh. We've talked about him before. He's become very known among right when cultural circles and social circles as the guy who really hammers on this scourge of transgender gender affirming care, et cetera.

Here he is doing another version of look what you made me do to you. That's a classic from abusers. Why do you keep making me punch you in the face?

Family friendly drag shows, what I quote, have two purposes. One from the drag queen's perspective is to satisfy their fetish for cross-dressing in front of children.

The other on a more macro level is to indoctrinate children into queer theory to put it simply the point of drag queen story hour and the child, the supposed family friendly drag shows is to turn your children queer. That is the goal.

And whenever you say that, what I consider how insane that is consider how absurd that is given the reality of what we know about sexual orientation, turn your children queer.

This is it's it's seem this guy was in diapers when that talking point was already being debunked.
