(LifeSiteNews) – Christopher Rufo, the activist who has gone to war with CRT and LGBT activists over school curriculums across America, noted this week that progressivism appears to have three stages:
- “It’s not happening and is a harmful right-wing conspiracy theory.”
- “It’s happening and it’s good that it’s happening.”
- “We’re making it mandatory for your children.”
This is a three-step version of Rod Dreher’s “Law of Merited Impossibility” — what you are saying cannot happen, and when it does, you bigots deserve it. As parental rights activists, conservative journalists, and online aggregators like Libs of TikTok increasingly expose the LGBT agenda for children both in and out of school, we’re seeing a lot of that lately.

First, LGBT activists get caught doing something. Instinctively, they deny it. But when that proves impossible, they insist that only a bigot would oppose the thing they just claimed they would never do but have now been exposed as doing.
Consider, for example, the response of a California state senator to Texas Representative Bryan Slaton’s call for a law to ban drag shows in the presence of minors in Texas after videos of an event called “Drag the kids to pride” went viral online.
“The events of the past weekend were horrifying and show a disturbing trend in which perverted adults are obsessed with sexualizing young children,” Slaton wrote in a statement. “As a father of two young children, I would never take my children to a drag show and I know Speaker Dan Phelan and the rest of my Republican colleagues wouldn’t either.”
California State Senator Scott Wiener, an open homosexual who represents San Francisco, tweeted out Slaton’s statement with a proposal of his own: “This guy just gave me a bill idea: Offering Drag Queen 101 as part of the K-12 curriculum. Attending Drag Queen Story Time will satisfy the requirement.”
Don’t think for a moment that Wiener is joking, either. Recent laws championed by Wiener include a 2017 bill to reduce the crime of knowingly exposing a sexual partner to HIV without disclosing the infection — previously a felony — to misdemeanour status. This change in law also applied to HIV-positive people who donate blood without informing the blood bank of their status. In 2020, Wiener sponsored another bill—signed by Governor Gavin Newsom — requiring California to imprison men who identify as women in female prisons. The view of the women locked up with these usually violent criminals is of no account to dangerous ideologues like Wiener, of course.
If you want an idea of what Wiener does find dangerous, he also co-authored a bill that could require prison time for healthcare workers declining a “preferred name or pronouns.” Wiener believes that it should not be a crime to have sex with someone without telling him that you are HIV-positive, but jail-time is appropriate for those who refuse to refer to a male as a female at his request.
It gets worse. Wiener proposed a law in 2019 – also signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom – that permits “judges discretion over sex-offender registration in all cases involving voluntary intercourse between teenagers 14 to 17, who cannot legally consent, and adults who are less than ten years older.”
Wiener worked to decriminalize homosexual intercourse between adults and minors in certain cases, claiming that California’s current laws discriminate against the LGBT community. In short, he worked to help statutory rapists avoid the sex offender registry list.
A politician who has pushed legislation to assist statutory rapists avoid the sex offender registry list wants to make Drag Queen Storytime mandatory for children. Reread that sentence for a moment.
And they say the term “groomer” is a slur?
