LGBT Youth Resources Removed from State Website
July 7, 2023 | Virginia
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin’s office removed resources for LGBT youth and issued a statement reaffirming parental rights following an inquiry from The Daily Wire.
Governor Youngkin’s (R) Department of Health removed a list titled “National Resources for LGBT Youth,” shortly after an inquiry from The Daily Wire. The list previously included a “social justice website” for children called “Queer Kid Stuff” and an anonymous chat site for minors.
“In Virginia, the governor will always reaffirm a parent’s role in their child’s life. Children belong to their parents, not the state,” Youngkin Press Secretary Macaulay Porter asserted in a statement.
“The governor supports providing resources that are age appropriate, however the government should not facilitate anonymous conversations between adults and children without a parent’s approval,” Porter added.
“Sexualizing children against a parent’s wishes doesn’t belong on a taxpayer supported website,” she contended. (Excerpt from The Daily Wire.)
