Earlier this year, Disney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/u-s-subscriptions-at-ultra-woke-disney-slow-to-a-crawl-after-company-loses-left-wing-political-battles&#039;\">garnered controversy<\/a> for opposing Florida\u2019s parental rights legislation that banned classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten to third grade. In an exclusive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/exclusive-poll-over-60-of-americans-back-floridas-limits-on-k-3-lessons-on-sexual-orientation-and-gender-identity\">survey<\/a> from The Daily Wire, 64% of Americans \u2014 including 62% of Democrats and 57% of independents \u2014 supported the Florida law.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, parents across the country have been finding books that promote homosexuality and transgenderism in public school libraries. One graphic novel found in a Hawaii high school included <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/yet-another-school-library-housed-graphic-novel-with-gay-sex-scenes\">illustrations of sex<\/a> between two males with a sex toy, as well as oral sex, masturbation, and other explicit content.<\/p>\n<p>According to Fetterman\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/johnfetterman.com\/issue\/securing-lgbtqia-rights\/\">campaign website<\/a>, the longtime mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, was the \u201cfirst and only elected official\u201d in the Keystone State to \u201csolemnize same-sex weddings\u201d as early as 2013, even though the practice was still illegal. He vows to vote for the Equality Act \u2014 a bill that would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/4-ways-the-equality-act-could-damage-religious-freedom-in-america\">insert<\/a> \u201csexual orientation\u201d and \u201cgender identity\u201d into the Civil Rights Act of 1964 \u2014 if elected to the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will also support efforts to end the hateful practice of so-called \u2018conversion therapy,\u2019 and fight to strengthen anti-harrassment policies on school and college campuses,\u201d Fetterman\u2019s campaign website adds.<\/p>\n<p>During the interview with Powered By Rainbows, Fetterman shared that he had attended \u201cmany, many Pride events \u2026 in red counties\u201d \u2014 a reality signaling that Republicans are increasingly \u201cembracing these communities.\u201d Indeed, a majority of Republican voters had for the first time indicated that they support same-sex marriage earlier in 2021, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/majority-of-gop-voters-support-same-sex-marriage-for-the-first-time-poll\">poll<\/a> from the Public Religion Research Institute.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to give equal protection under the law to the gay and trans communities \u2014 certainly here in Pennsylvania, but everywhere in our country,\u201d Fetterman remarked.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1LNvXkny4ZBWWVm-ZPgoitQp6ae_kTAeQ\/view\">poll<\/a> from CBS News and YouGov, Fetterman was supported by 52% of respondents, while Oz was backed by 47%. Voters also indicated a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pennsylvania-republicans-face-uphill-battles-in-final-weeks-of-midterm-race\">higher level of favorability<\/a> for the former candidate \u2014 56% of Fetterman supporters said they are backing him \u201cmainly because\u201d they like him, while only 15% of Oz voters said the same.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are hoping that Fetterman will contribute to a majority in the evenly divided Senate. However, Fetterman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hell-be-fine-pa-democratic-senate-nominee-cleared-by-doctor-to-campaign-after-suffering-a-stroke-days-before-primary\">suffered a stroke<\/a> days before the state\u2019s primary election and has since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/new-john-fetterman-video-raises-questions-on-his-fitness-for-office-absolutely-cannot-debate-anyone\">stumbled<\/a> during speeches at multiple campaign events.
