A Republican aide has claimed that LGBTQ+ organisations are training eight-year-old children how to use butt plugs and dildos.
In a recently resurfaced speech, Erin Mazzoni, who reportedly works for the campaign of Franklin, Tennessee Republican mayoral candidate Gabrielle Hanson, alleged that children are being given sex toys by LGBTQ+ activists.
Mazzoni told a meeting of the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen earlier this that she’d moved to Tennessee from Bucks County, in Pennsylvania, after apparently discovering that an LGBTQ+ organisation was teaching children how to use sex toys, which, she claimed, caused the community to “fall apart”.
Between sobs, she said: “It started out as Pride coming in, and I thought everything would be OK. It ended with a Rainbow Room where eight to 12-year-old kids were given butt plugs and dildos and trained.
Republicans live in a completely different reality.
The problem is they project it onto others.
Like Christians who don’t rape and murder because they’re scared of hell, assume people who don’t believe do it all the time. They’re just telling on themselves that if they didn’t think Sky Daddy was watching them, then why wouldn’t they do horrible shit.
They don’t live in any REALITY. They live in a Fox News fever dream.
The one they describe is usually so much nicer, too. Kids getting sex education that isn’t abstinence only or the STD shock image hour? I wish.
These fundamentalists gutted sex ed and now we wonder why STI rates are up. Fuck them and everything they stand for
Fuck them and everything they stand for
Make sure to use protection though
Perhaps with one of those dildos that are being thrown around everywhere
Nah, with a pine cone. Or maybe a cactus.
Had a chance to look at Fox news lately? My family turned to it last night and it was ridiculous lol. Look at this
It was all about a parent who was blaming weed for her sons suicide.
Wouldn’t this stuff have to be real in order for it to be a reality?
Butt plug training, stolen elections, no climate change, Hillary Clinton harvesting children in pizza restaurants, etc. The GOP platform reads like fiction self-published on Amazon.
I wish someone had trained me how to use a buttplug. Could have saved myself a huge pain in the ass.
Ah, a fellow chess enthusiast I see
How do I delete someone else’s comment?
We don’t take kindly to cheaters around here.
Holy hell!

Bravo!
I came here specifically to find this comment.
Alright take my updoot, you earned it
We have actual victims speaking up to let us know that the Catholic Church and other Christian communities are abusing children. If LGBT groups are allegedly doing the same, where are the victims’ testimonies? Where are the hundreds, if not thousands of victims coming forward with their own stories that can be investigated so we can bring these alleged gay pedophiles to justice?
Because organized religion is so powerful they can get away with mass sexual assault of children among other crimes. Conservatives don’t oppose child abuse, they’re afraid the “wrong” people Are doing it
IMHO that’s the big picture: Conservatism doesn’t want people focusing on the overwhelmingly factual and documented abuses by the church and GOP.
This is a list of confirmed GOP sex offenders and their crimes. It’s past 1,100 now.
I don’t think I need to point out the well documented history of sex offenses in the church, but here’s a quick list of recent travesties:

So please, FOCUS ON THE GAYS! LITTERBOXES! TRANS TRAINERS! Think about anything but the crimes conservatives and religious pedos please please please.
Projection writ large, across our entire society.
I’m on your side of the argument, but I don’t think this is a fair take. We know from history that it’s very difficult for victims to come forward in these cases. Your Catholic Church example is a good case of this; the adults we’re hearing from were children when the abuse took place. Look at the Me Too incident. Hundreds if not thousands of victims all coming forward years after the fact because they feared the backlash. I genuinely doubt there are groups like the woman described in existence, but if there were, it’s understandable that we wouldn’t be hearing about it right away.
The Catholic Church has the power and influence to cover those things up and pressure victims into silence. Hollywood has a huge power imbalance as well. Where in the world does the LGBTQ+ community have such power? The only answer these fascists can give is “the Jews”.
If there was large scale abuse going on in the LGBTQ+ community, it would have been found out for sure; especially considering how many hateful zealots spend their retirement actively hunting the imaginary abuse. (I’m also not saying there’s no abuse because well, humans suck. just that it isn’t large scale, organized, and actively defended like churches and corporate hierarchies)
I mean this is assuming that children are rationally considering the amount of power an abuser has over their lives, which is clearly not the case. To a kid, simply being an adult makes them seem powerful.
And yet kids and adults come forward all the time. There would be somebody if the abuse is that wide spread.
The power of the church enables them to influence more than just the kids of course. Also if adults show reverence to priests you bet the kids pick up on that. And also the parents often side with the priest over the kid anyway if the kid actually ever says anything.
Bottom line: the claims of sexual abuse by “tHe gAyS” are unsubstantiated.
Studies have shown that abusers are not more likely to be LGBTQ than straight.
In fact it is statistically the opposite to a significant degree.
So why the claims then?
First, modern right wing Christianity is deeply biased to be anti-gay already and so it is no wonder preachers are dead wrong and spreading bullshit myths as well as classing all LGBTQ people as literally “minions ot Satan”
Second, regressives (right wingers) hate LGBTQ people (because they are different and also because of religion). Spreading damaging myths is an attempt to change culture to be in favor of persecuting and attempting to eradicate LGBTQ people – or whoever else is in the “out group” to be eradicated.
If a lone person with political motives to damage the Catholic Church’s reputation alleged they were abusing children, I’d be demanding the same evidence of victims’ testimonies. No one should be believing allegations of sexual assault without evidence, of which victim testimonies are key. Same with the Me Too movement. I’m a therapist and not at all unsympathetic to how difficult it is for victims of sexual assault to go public with their stories, but from a societal perspective, we should all be skeptical of allegations made without evidence. Is it possible these LGBT groups are abusing kids and we won’t find out until 15-20+ years from now, when those kids decide to come forward with their stories? Sure. But until then, accusations with clear political motivation should be disregarded, and that’s true whether you’re talking about LGBT groups or the LDS Church.

Sorry to hear. :(
FWIW gay people have been around longer than the Catholic church.
Right? Gay people have likely been around since the dawn of time. If it was a systemic thing among the LGBTQ, we would know.
I already responded to this point from another user. Check further down the thread.
“Lady sobs because she imagined things that don’t happen”
This kind of performative rhetoric, invented to assign wicked or demonic qualities to your scapegoat, is not a new thing. It’s just a retread of the blood libel, the red scare, the lavender panic, reefer madness, and today’s bathroom panics. All of them were lies told to justify violence and the criminalization of things that could be used to persecute their targets.
*things she made up
I’m about 90% sure she’s just acting and doesn’t believe a word of her testimony.
She’s literally that character from The Simpsons that says “won’t somebody please think of the children!”
She was probably rubbing one out as she imagined them
> lady
This harlot is very likely an ethusiastic user of buttplugs and dildos.
She’s a horrible person, but let’s not kink shame.
I’m willing to get she’s just projecting
She has a rich fantasy life, doesn’t she?
Yes, and oddly specific.
She’s a gullible fool; too lazy to do the “hard” work of being skeptical, and too egotistical to mot be manipulated by anyone willing to stroke her ego. Just like every other extreme-right-wing whackjob.
In her defense, saying things like “LGBTQ+ people don’t do butt-stuff on children,” doesn’t get you on public access tv.
In reality she’s fantasizing about genocide
Let’s just say Freud would have some concerns!
And she didn’t take pictures or record these incidents to report to CPS the child exploitation that was happening? No just put it in her back burner to someday tell congress about… how convenient… sounds like the case brought before the supreme court of a women who claimed she was being forced to cook cakes orders for gay couples of which those 'orders for gay couples ’ later turned out to have never existed…
She was so upset about the LGBTQ+ she moved to the only city in TN with an active pride organization
Not the only city.
No just put it in her back burner
Phrasing…
Was that cake orders or websites? The recent case was a woman “forced” to make a website for a gay couple’s wedding. Only it turned out that she not only never made a website, but the “gay couple” she cited wasn’t really a gay couple.
In fact, one of the guy’s is straight, has been married to a woman for years, and doesn’t even know the woman who claimed she was forced to make a website for his gay marriage. Basically, she just did a search on some website, grabbed the guy’s name and photo, and claimed he was part of a gay couple that demanded she make a website for him.
And yet the Supreme Court ruled in her favor and she hasn’t gotten in trouble for perjury.
Honestly I think webpages about cakes for this one… it’s hard to keep up with all the moral outrage conservatives come up with daily now
So, if the past is any indicator, in the next few months we’re going to learn she’s been molesting kids with butt plugs and dildos.
Only because she was possessed by satan worshipers.
She never should’ve messed with D&D.
This is meant solely to hurt people. At best it’s satanic panic level insanity. At worst it’s an attempt to prepare people to commit atrocities.
I think someone should check her browsing history and hard drive.
Someone needs to deepsearch her internet activity FBI style.
Oh I see we’re on Projection
I once met a Mormon dude who tried to put his thumb in my ass for alignment purpose.
« Not gay if I’m the doctor » he said.
« You’re not a doctor you bigoted fuck » I replied.
Got my first appointment for prostatic exam next week. Can’t wait.
Just go “flick”
It’s our nifty little Mormon trick.
Indeed; these people often have an army of skeletons in their closets.
The only story I know about using buttplugs on children was that one instance where the child had to use a buttplug from their parents in order to keep the Devil out of their asshole.
Christians are much worse than any drag queen.
Devil didn’t pay the troll toll?
It really is amazing how people just believe whatever outlandish story they hear. Had an elderly woman tell our state legislators at a local forum that teachers where I work were literally locking children into closets and teaching them to be gay. Legislators response: “Mumble, Mumble, yeah… we need to do something about these teachers.”
Lady, if we had the power to “indoctrinate” children, we wouldn’t have any late homework again, let alone tolerance for people different from yourself.
There’s a whole segment of the population that lives in a different reality, probably due to right-wing media conditioning.
Show them something well researched, understood, and explained and they’re likely to dismiss or reject it. Say something completely bonkers about someone or something they don’t like and they’ll gobble it up without a second thought.
Every accusation…
I love how conspiratorial republicans get when the state is threatened with welfare and humanitarian measures, but when other republicans make insane claims no one asks for a source
Reminds me of those people who dream about their partner cheating on them and then are mad at them for days and demand apologies. These people think up things to be afraid and then demand we take their delusions seriously.
