    As soon as I hear a name like “Moms for Liberty” I just know they’re going to be a group of brainwashed outrage addicts campaigning for demonstrably harmful things.

    And in trying to check the first suggestion Google has is “moms for liberty book ban list” so I have a feeling I’m right.

    Are Moms for Liberty the ones that think Gay People are the Devil while they themselves engage in Gay Sex?

      This is the group where the founder turned out to have been having threesomes with her husband and another woman, which came to light because the other woman accused them of sexual assault.

      The article references what you might be remembering:

      “The Moms have recently attracted a swell of bad press, thanks to a disastrous 60 Minutes interview in which the co-founders struggled to defend their stances; a chapter leading quoting Hitler in a newsletter last year; some members’ close ties to the Proud Boys; and, perhaps most notably, the group’s national co-founder Bridget Ziegler becoming embroiled in a sex scandal after it came out that she and her husband, Florida GOP chair Christian Ziegler, were involved in a three-way sexual relationship with a woman—even though Bridget Ziegler played a key role in the passage of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law, which forbade discussion of LGBTQ issues in many school settings. (Christian Ziegler was accused of rape by the other woman in the encounter—an allegation he denied, and which authorities ultimately declined to prosecute—and was booted from his post within the state Republican party earlier this year.)”

    These types give me STRONG swinger vibes. There’s just something about the way the couples interact with each other that says, OK these people are obviously desperately bored with each other and into some FREAKY shit.

      Yeah they really do give swinger vibes. Though not because they’re into freaky shit, but because they feel like they have the same lack of understanding of consent and respect for others that doesn’t fly in irl freaky spaces except with swingers. They feel like they’re already blacklisted from every bdsm event in town.
