Boebert: Coming Out Before Age 21 Should Be Illegal

April 2, 2022 Crackpots, Republicans

AlterNet reports:

Right-wing QAnon conspiracy theorist and United States Representative Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) on Friday asked the Twitter audience to explain to her why the law does not “require” LGBTQ+ Americans to wait until they are 21 years old to come out.

Boebert, a radically socially conservative high-school dropout who supports unfettered access to firearms, drew absurd parallels between LGBTQ+ identity struggles and established legal limitations on who can buy “alcohol beverages” and cigarettes. She also stated that sexuality is a choice, which it is not.

We require people to be 21 to purchase alcohol beverages, and 21 to purchase tobacco products.

Why is it so unreasonable to require people to reach a certain level of maturity before making life-altering decisions about their sexuality and identity?

So, no one can be straight until they’re 21?

You are an idiot.

And weren’t you fucking a sex offender before you were old enough to buy alcohol?

Just because it took you well into your thirties to get a high school diploma, doesn’t mean that others are as stunted as you, BoBo.

You don’t get to talk about maturity. pic.twitter.com/HI0kfR9OF1

You were 16 or 17 when you made the life altering decision to have sex, pop out a kid, quit school and get married.

So, @RepBoebert, your answer to everything is:

• Must be 21 to purchase alcohol beverages
• Must be 21 to purchase tobacco products
• Must be 21 to decide sexuality and identity
BUT⬇️
• Can be ANY age with ANY background and can buy ANY type of gun without question

Twisted.
