One thing I've seen in US state level politics (mostly through the lens of other queer people talking about it, fwiw) is the equation of queer and especially trans/gender variant people with child molesters. That's not a new trick but it's always dangerous when they try to repurpose the revulsion child molesters rightly inspire to smear a group defined by who they are and not any harm they actually did.

I owe the word 'they' overtime pay after that last sentance.
