Katie Porter actually said...

"The groomer narrative is an age-old lie to position LGBTQ+ people as a threat to kids, and what it does is deny them access to public spaces, it stokes fear, and can even stoke violence."

"This allegation of groomer and pedophile... is alleging that a person is criminal somehow and engaged in criminal acts merely because of their identity."

"What happens online translates into real harms in people's lives."

"It is to dehumanize us and make us feel like we are not a part of this American society, and it has real-life consequences."
