A group of Republican senators want a new TV rating created so parents can block their children from watching shows with LGBTQ characters.
The five senators from North Dakota, Kansas, Utah, Indiana and Montana sent a letter Wednesday to the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board asking for the new rating.
In recent years, concerning topics of a sexual nature have become aggressively politicized and promoted in childrens programming, including irreversible and harmful experimental treatments for mental disorders like gender dysphoria, the letter reads.
The two-page letter signed by Sens. Roger Marshall, Mike Lee, Mike Braun, Kevin Cramer and Steve Daines strongly urged the TV groups chairman, Charles Rivkin, to update its guidelines to ensure parents are aware of the disturbing content.

Yet it was such a popular show with great ratings.

This can't be! I have been told, here, in fact, that, "NO! The GOP isn't coming for queer people."
