A Washington Post article appeared to draw similarities between Republican legislation protecting children to LGBTQ crackdowns in Middle Eastern countries.
Sameera Munshi says Muslim parents, and other people of faith, have a right to opt their children out of LGBTQ curriculum.
The Washington Post explained,"In the Jordanian capital of Amman, a movie screening with a gay male lead was canceled recently on orders from the governor. In Lebanon, a beer commercial that appeared to include a gender nonconforming person was met with widespread derision online, similar to the backlash faced by Bud Light in the United States after it partnered with a transgender TikTok star. ‘Just like BudLight...go woke, go broke!’ read one comment on Twitter, now known as X.
"The inflammatory rhetoric prompted Grindr, a dating app for gay, bi and trans people, to issue an alert to its users in Lebanon on Sunday — warning them to 'take extra caution both online and offline right now' and directing them to a helpline if exposed to danger," according to The Post.
