A Republican aide has claimed that LGBTQ+ organisations are training eight-year-old children how to use butt plugs and dildos.

In a recently resurfaced speech, Erin Mazzoni, who reportedly works for the campaign of Franklin, Tennessee Republican mayoral candidate Gabrielle Hanson, alleged that children are being given sex toys by LGBTQ+ activists.

Mazzoni told a meeting of the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen earlier this that she’d moved to Tennessee from Bucks County, in Pennsylvania, after apparently discovering that an LGBTQ+ organisation was teaching children how to use sex toys, which, she claimed, caused the community to “fall apart”.

Between sobs, she said: “It started out as Pride coming in, and I thought everything would be OK. It ended with a Rainbow Room where eight to 12-year-old kids were given butt plugs and dildos and trained.

    “Lady sobs because she imagined things that don’t happen”

    This kind of performative rhetoric, invented to assign wicked or demonic qualities to your scapegoat, is not a new thing. It’s just a retread of the blood libel, the red scare, the lavender panic, reefer madness, and today’s bathroom panics. All of them were lies told to justify violence and the criminalization of things that could be used to persecute their targets.
