It's as ridiculous as it is dangerous: Five right-wing senators are asking the TV ratings board to add hateful content warnings to children's shows with LGBTQ characters.
Apparently kids can handle learning about a virgin birth, but not seeing two moms on TV -- even if they regularly see two dads pick up their friends at school.
In a letter to the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board, MAGA Republican Senators Marshall, Braun, Cramer, Daines, and Lee especially target transgender Americans, falsely calling transgender identities a "mental disorder" -- even though the American Psychiatric Association disagrees.
As Christians, we know that everyone is made in the image of God, and that Jesus calls us to love and include everyone. The growing trend of LGBTQ acceptance should be celebrated and encouraged, not made into a political football by Christian nationalists seeking more and more power.
We need to make sure these hateful senators aren't the only voices the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board is hearing from this month. Add your name to show the board that these politicians do not speak for us as Christians and that consumers want kids' programming to teach our children love, not hate.
