Several Alabama politicians say they are concerned about children’s safety at Huntsville’s Space Camp after a parent complained about the presence of a transgender employee.

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville and Reps. Dale Strong and Robert Aderholt posted statements on X, formerly known as Twitter, after a parent posted on Facebook complaining about the gender identity of one of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center employees. The topic was also picked up by the Libs of TikTok account.

“I don’t hate these people, man,” Yarbrough said.

Oh, but you do, buddy. You do.

Usual fucking rhetoric.

"They live their lives, I live mine." All while going out of their way to fuck with them.

He left out the “I would just prefer they don’t exist”

These douchebags would rather shove anyone marginally different than them into the closet rather than having to be mildly uncomfortable in public or having to have a difficult discussion with their children.

There's also the right-wing obsession with "grooming" and protecting kids from "sexualization". It happened with gay people 50 years ago and now it's trans peoples' turn.

Oh don't worry, they're working their way back to gays as quick as they can. And then interracial couples will be next on the list after that.

All the while their actual "high ranking" members are known to be a bunch of pedophiles. Conservatism is a cancer.

Doesn't hate them, just wants them to hide away and never encounter others. Perfectly reasonable /s
