Which Of These Baby Onesies 'Sexualizes'
This isn't being treated as a major story, but I think it's frightening:
Republican attorneys general from seven states signed a letter Wednesday to Target, warning that clothes and merchandise sold as part of the retail giant's Pride month campaigns could violate their state's child protection laws.
GOP attorneys general from Indiana, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and South Carolina signed the letter, writing they were "concerned by recent events involving the company's 'Pride' campaign." The letter asserts the states are obliged to "enforce state laws protecting children" from "content that sexualizes them," including obscenity laws....
The AGs said they believed the campaign was a "comprehensive effort to promote gender and sexual identity among children," criticizing items such as "LGBT-themed onesies, bibs, and overalls, T-shirts labeled 'Girls Gays Theys'; 'Pride Adult Drag Queen Katya' (which depicts a male dressed in female drag'); and girls' swimsuits with 'tuck-friendly construction.'"
Regarding that last item: Target never sold "tuck-friendly" swimsuits for children -- they suits were only for adults. That bit of disinformation was debunked back in May, but zombie right-wing lies never die.
