Five Republican U.S. senators call for a TV rating to prevent kids from watching shows with LGBTQ characters

New York Post

Sens. Roger Marshall of Kansas, Mike Lee of Utah, Mike Braun of Indiana, Kevin Cramer of North Dakota and Steve Daines of Montana have sent a letter to the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board asking for the new rating that can help parents block their kids from watching shows with LGBTQ characters. “In recent years, concerning topics of a sexual nature have become aggressively politicized and promoted in children’s programming, including irreversible and harmful experimental treatments for mental disorders like gender dysphoria,” the senators' two-page letter reads. Their letter comes amid a rising tide of Republican anti-gay legislation nationwide, including Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill.
