Gays and lesbians are predatory pedophiles and here is the proof!

Honestly conservatives/Republicans are so fucking hypocritical when it comes to the "Dems/Gays are pedos!" shit. Like just recently I was watching this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvKOEUh-KSo

So Republicans are calling US pedos but at the same time they're introducing a marriage bill that has no minimum age requirement? And I'm supposed to believe that was just a mistake or oversight? Like yeah, liberals/Democrats do absolutely deserve to be criticized and scrutinized for the trans kid shit. I fully agree there. But at the same time how many conservatives who are pearl-clutching over trans kids have no problem with religious fundies having child brides and/or polygyny in their own states? How come conservatives don't show the same outrage when young girls are the victims of straight religious men?

Cuz it really seems to me like conservatives/Republicans only seem to care about CSA when boys are the victims and/or when gays/liberals are the perps. But when conservative religious fundie grown ass men want to marry underage girls it's just rElIgIoUs FrEeDoM.

My dad is just like this. Hates how all the gay characters on tv are "teaching children sex" (yes, even if all they did was kiss) but never had an issue with my younger sister, who is currently in middle school, watching 50 shades even when she was younger then she is now. Also, that and/or in the last paragraph should just be and. If its a boy and a woman republicans would just say the boy was "lucky" and they only care about girls when its their own daughters.

Let's run through the time line of that bill (https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=HB0233). January 2021 it is introduced with language that literally removed the age limit and was set on to be heard after summer which is apparently usually a death sentence. A trash bill gets left in obscurity. January of 2022, it gains more sponsors; I assume because he's talking to other legislators about the amendment he's made that literally scraps and redoes the whole bill. In March, he gets amendment SA0709 added which removes literally everything below "AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 8; Title 10; Title 16; Title 36; Title 39; Title 67 and Title 68, relative to marriage." and replaces it with a lot of common law second rate marriage stuff. March 23rd is when the clip pointing out that it doesn't have an explicit age minimum occurs. The website I provided has the bill mentioned in a committee meeting on the 30th, what happened on this day with the bill? Nothing. It was a scheduling error. On April 6th, an amendment is introduced adding an explicit age minimum, although it is tied to the Tennessee Age of Majority Law.

The statement that it should be covered by contract minimum ages is true, but an odd choice to rely on. Should the amendments have been entered as a separate bill and scrap the original entirely? I think so, but I don't know how much more of a hassle that would have been. Was it fixed? The original horrendous version seems to have been done without public prompting afaik. As far as lacking a minimum age requirement, it was amended at the first opportunity. He thought implicit was good enough, found he was wrong, and rectified it. Also where is your evidence that republicans or conservatives support child marriage? You pointed to a mistake that was promptly corrected and used that to misrepresent a large group of people. As a final note, I guess you did point to child brides and polygyny. The answer is that there is an assumption of child brides being illegal, and they don't tend to make mountains out of every criminal; point to a child bride whose husband is free in a state that a republican lives in, and I would expect them to take issue with it. As for polygyny, I think polygamy is a bad choice, but I don't want a nanny state that makes things illegal because they might end up hurting the feelings of those making the choices.
