Despite having very little information about the shooter, 22-year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich, or his motivations in opening fire into the gay club, the narrative has been set by politicians and their media allies: Anti-LGBT rhetoric, conservative policies, and \u201chate\u201d are to blame.<\/p>\n<p>Rep.

The goal is to try to intimidate conservatives and parents from continuing to oppose harmful LGBT policies in education, medicine, and girls\u2019 sports. By shifting the narrative to position all opposition to LGBT policies as \u201chate\u201d and directly responsible for violence, the left believes it can crush what has been a successful campaign nationwide. <\/p>\n<p>As Matt Walsh <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattWalshBlog\/status\/1594483597695762437\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pointed out<\/a>, \u201cLeftists are using a mass shooting to try and blackmail us into accepting the castration and sexualization of children. These people are just beyond evil. I have never felt more motivated to oppose everything they stand for, with every fiber of my being. Despicable scumbags.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The left has spent months targeting the popular Libs of TikTok Twitter account for reposting publicly available media created and shared by LGBT activists themselves, often teachers. Claiming this is dangerous, Twitter has <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/09\/29\/libs-of-tiktok-suspended-by-twitter-for-hateful-conduct\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">suspended<\/a> the account multiple times, most recently in September. Around the same time, the account was blamed for a woman calling in a fake bomb threat to Boston Children\u2019s Hospital after Libs of TikTok shared a video from the hospital promoting \u201cgender-affirming hysterectomies.\u201d The hospital sees patients up to age 21 and received criticism for the policy.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Drag performances are about joy and community. And they have been the target of extremists this last year.
