The self-loathing anti-LGBTQ+ organization Gays Against Groomers (GAG) held a rally last weekend at Lambeau Field in Wisconsin, home of the Green Bay Packers.
The angry mothers are on board for an “age appropriate curriculum” bill in high school.
The sad gathering was another indication of the diminishing influence of the group, which has been riven by internal strife as the organization’s leaders battle over which candidate for the Republican presidential nomination best embodies GAG’s hateful ideology.

The news you care about, reported on by the people who care about you:
The group, founded in Wisconsin by political operative Jaimee Michell, claims to oppose the “sexualization and indoctrination of children.” This largely means opposing transgender-inclusive social policies, LGBTQ+ content in schools, and all-ages drag performances.
Efforts in the state to ban gender-affirming care for minors hit a roadblock this month after Assembly Bill 465 passed both chambers in the legislature, but now faces a veto from Democrat Gov. Tony Evers.
Three lawmakers in favor of the onerous legislation showed up at the GAG’s “Worldwide Rally”, including state reps John Macco, Nate Gustafson, and Joy Goeben, all Republicans.
Goeben held a sign in the sparse crowd reading, “Groom dogs, not kids.” Grooming — which means building a trusting relationship with a young person to sexually abuse them — is a common accusation directed at LGBTQ+ people and allies. Abuse victims say the overuse of the term by anti-LGBTQ+ advocates has made it more difficult to discuss actual child sex abuse.

In January, the Anti-Defamation League called GAG one among many notable amplifiers of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric online that “peddles dangerous and misleading narratives about the LGBTQ+ community.”
In February, Media Matters published a report titled “Grifter Gays” detailing the lie that GAG is a grassroots organization, identifying founder Michell and her fellow co-chair David Leatherwood as longtime conspiracy-peddling pro-Trump operatives with deep ties to the likes of Trump-whisperer Roger Stone and “Stop the Steal” founder Ali Alexander, another self-loathing gay who is “battling with same-sex attraction.”
Now GAG’s co-chairs have split, with Leatherwood resigning from the organization after Mitchell abandoned Trump and threw her support to failing presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, the Republican governor of Florida.
Leatherwood took his cue to exit the group following DeSantis’ widely-mocked homophobic campaign video featuring oiled-up body builders and other homoerotic imagery. The video didn’t seem to bother Mitchell.
The group was also mired in controversy recently when a Wisconsin school district was forced to obtain a restraining order against GAG Wisconsin chapter leader Jose “Rocky” Rodriguez, who serially harassed members of the Pulaski Community School District. A county circuit court granted the district a four-year restraining order against Rodriguez.
Over the last month, the group has been suspended from both Instagram and Facebook, though reinstated shortly afterward. Parent company Meta had no explanation for either the suspensions or reinstatements.
Prosecutors in Chicago have failed to charge a suspect identified in photo lineups as the shooter who killed a trans woman and her mother in a home invasion in January . Three other victims were wounded, including two other trans women. The suspect, who remains unidentified because he hasn’t been charged, has two other pending cases in Cook County court, records reveal: a felony residential burglary count and a misdemeanor count of domestic battery. The 19-year-old suspect lives in the same apartment complex as the victims did, on Chicago’s South Side. The police report for the mass shooting details how two people “kicked in the front door and began shooting” at about 1:40 p.m. on January 23. Unique Banks, 20, and her mother Alexsandra Olmo, 43, were killed at the scene. Three other victims were hospitalized in critical condition. One witness told investigators they had seen two males running north from the courtyard building wearing green camouflage. The shooting took place o...
The U.S. Census Bureau, after nearly a year of pushing the Biden administration, will begin testing questions pertaining to LGBTQ+ identity on its American Community Survey (ACS). These questions would ask people about their sexual orientation and gender identity. The Bureau put out a Federal Register notice signifying that this is the last chance for the public to give comment on all pending ACS questions, including those pertaining to LGBTQ+ individuals. The deadline given for comment is May 30, with an online form provided for any feedback on these questions. The wording for these questions can be found on the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs website . After the Bureau’s deadline, it will be submitting the questions to the Office of Management and Budget, where they will await approval for testing in the summer. The ACS asks questions about demographic, socioeconomic, and housing-related topics annually. New questions must undergo a rigorous approval and testing p...
Conservatives were already upset about Target over its LGBTQ+-inclusive Pride collection. But now they’re angry over fake AI-generated images that show the store selling “Satanic” clothing. The images show kids wearing clothes with inverted pentagrams and goat heads and a store display with a red, goat-headed mannequin. The images were created by Facebook user Dan Reese with the AI program Midjourney, Reuters reported . A Target spokesperson told the publication that it “has never sold” the pictured items, and the items aren’t available on the store’s website.
