The late Hunter Thompson pointed out that the minority GOP party historically uses fear and loathing to make themselves appear to be the protectors to vote for as a way of attracting independent voters. I doubt if you can find many parents who would be fine learning that one of their offspring was L,G,B,T,Q, or whatever. They might, out of love, accept their reality and offer love and support to their kid, but only if it happened to them - just as Thom points out. But, people need to realize when they are being gaslighted, and fear and loathing simply switches off rational thought processes.
As Columbia U fascism expert, Prof Bob Paxton, has pointed out, fascists understand that when emotions are high, human rational thinking processes go into standby mode. Fear and hatred bring people together to defend themselves and their families when led to believe they are under attack by evil forces who would act to destroy the futures of their children. When a parent is misled into thinking that gender dysphoria or homosexual orientation is taught by pedophile adults, they are all ears as to how to prevent it happening to their offspring.
Ron DeSantis and his fellow fascists are not going to tell you that psychological and medical research considers gender identity and sexual orientation to be genomic in origin - that people are born that way. No sir! Queers and Trannies are taught/groomed to be that way from childhood by pedophiles who have infiltrated our grammar schools, drag queen entertainers, and even librarians who slip porn into children's books. Vote for the GOP and they will put these scary loathsome people in jail where they belong.
