And fake moral conservatives tell everyone how important moral conduct is and that's what drives their exclusionary policies then they go out and engage in the very behavior that they tell everyone is the problem.
I'm always a glass house type of person. Politicians like Boebert are going out of their way to take the moral high ground on a social issue, trans people and how they conduct themselves in public spaces, especially places where there are children. I don't have to agree with that position to acknowledge that it can be concerning to others.
But the person who is bringing that message had damn well better be someone who respects the places where there are children as well. And, here, there were children. There was a pregnant woman sitting right behind them. If a pregnant woman asks someone to stop smoking in front of her, the minimally respectful thing to do is to stop smoking in front of her. That's respect for the unborn child that the pregnant woman is carrying. There's no excuse for being that kind of asshole. And if someone knows that there are kids in the audience, maybe you don't take an aisle seat and grope your date where anyone can see you...including the children.
It's indefensible behavior from anyone who runs around telling people that we must protect children from the negative elements of society. The real sign of moral decay in our society is not trans people and drag shows where kids attend. The real sign of the decay is when your leadership engages in this type of behavior and their constituents refuse to hold them to the standard that they want for everyone else.
People like to overly point to 1984 but it's Orwell's other book that we should be looking at more closely - Animal Farm.
