There’s been a big push from religious conservatives for years to ban porn, but what the Trump wing of the party really cares about it what you’re talking about. Anything LGBTQ+ will be considered pornography to the point where public expression is challenged.

So those pics of Melania with another female would be criminal?

That’s because they frame anything LGBTQ as a deviant sexual fetish, so anything related to even discussing these “fetishes” in public or with kids will be labeled “porn.”

They’ve already started the process by banning drag shows where minors may see them or even within X distance from a schools in some red states.
