Sen. Mike Lee wants TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board to include warnings about LGBTQ+ characters, content
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Mike Lee wants TV content warnings to include the “radical and sexual sensation” of children’s shows.
From same-sex parents to transgender kids, seeing all kinds of characters on screen is critical for children, according to Jessica Dummar, the CEO of Utah Pride Center. The five Republican senators requested a meeting with the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board, writing in a letter: “To the detriment of children, gender dysphoria has become sensationalized in the popular media and television with radical activists and entertainment companies. This radical and sexual sensation not only harms children, but also destabilizes and damages parental rights.”
“The idea that you connect to someone even if it's not someone within your home or not someone within your community television provides this huge space for someone to see someone like them," said Dummar.
