In the year 2023, prominent rightwing commentators still have a problem with samesex parents
"Right-wing commentators are cynically leveraging a horrific story of alleged child sexual abuse to drum up opposition to adoption by gay and lesbian couples.
The right’s hateful anti-LGBTQ vitriol — and the GOP’s cruel legislative efforts in response — have largely focused in recent years on trans people and drag queens. But old-fashioned gay-bashing hasn’t died out on the right, with influential figures continuing to target same-sex couples who want to participate in institutions typically praised by American conservatives, like marriage and parenthood.
On Wednesday night, Fox host Laura Ingraham used her prime-time show to detail the case against William and Zachary Zulock, who in August were arrested in Georgia and charged with sexually abusing their two adopted boys. It’s an appalling story, but also appallingly familiar — sexual abuse by household members is unnervingly common, particularly for children who pass through the foster care system."
