The Groomer ‘Panic’ Is a Hill Worth Dying OnWe are at the bottom, or close to it, anyway, of the “slippery slope” that progressives told us does not exist.

Joe Biden commemorated Pride Month by promising to take the fight for equality to the next level. Gay marriage was yesterday’s battle. The issue of the day is making sure that children with gender dysphoria—or “trans youth,” as Biden called them—have uninhibited access to “gender-affirming care.” By this, Biden meant often irreversible medical interventions such as puberty blockers and sexual reassignemt surgery.
Further, he promised to shield these kids from a “hateful” right-wing backlash and to crack down on supposedly “discredited” conversion therapy that would encourage them to accept their natural selves. According to Biden, who is Catholic, “trans youth” are “made in the image of God” and deserve the unswerving support of the federal government in their quest for autonomy.
Those who voted for Biden expecting a “moderate” agenda may have been surprised by these radical remarks. But Biden’s position has entered the Democratic Party mainstream. While the Left denounces the term “groomer” as a reactionary slander, it’s hard to deny at this point that the sexual “liberation” of children is the “Pride” movement’s new focus.
What other conclusion can we draw from the recent “Drag Your Kids to Pride” event in Dallas, where children handed dollar bills to men dancing sexually in front of a neon sign that read, “It’s not going to lick itself?” Progressives have defended this obscenity, calling the backlash overblown. It’s a pattern we have seen a lot lately. The Left blew a gasket when Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed an unobjectionable bill, incongruously labeled by them the “Don’t Say Gay” law, that simply bans teachers from talking about sex to kindergarteners.
Who could have imagined 10, even five years ago, that the country would be caught up in a “debate” about whether it is proper to sexualize 5-year-olds? Well, some did imagine it but they were mocked and dismissed as alarmists and bigots. Now, just seven years after gay marriage became the law of the land, they have been vindicated.
