I think that a concerted attempt to change the collective, psychological makeup of a nation is VERY important. It's a direct assault on the moral fabric of a people who've traditionally adhered to biblical values (whether strictly or loosely). Never in the history of America have we seen such a massive campaign to force the LGBTQ+Pedo nonsense on a mostly unwilling public.
If politicians weren't instrumental in forcing queerism into the public square, then it wouldn't be a political issue. But, unfortunately, many of America's politicians are complicit in this push to America's moral low so, unfortunately, it has become a political issue.
