GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert Wants an Age Minimum Before People Come Out [View all]
Colorado Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, a supporter of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law, has now proposed that queer and trans people should remain closeted until reaching a designated level of "maturity."
“We require people to be 21 to purchase alcohol beverages, and 21 to purchase tobacco products,” the Colorado congresswoman 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?”
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.
One of the Democrats looking to face Boebert in November's election is a gay man who went viral with his campaign video calling out Boebert's extreme views. Alex Walker's video shows fecal matter falling from the skies and ends with him declaring, “Colorado needs a bull, not a bullshitter.”
