The ultimate goal for the republicans of these states trying to take gays rights away, is to eventually get the gay marriage rights overturned, it’s all a ploy to make lgbt people second class citizens again, hidden behind religion and guise of ‘protecting’ people that don’t need to be protected

presumably they think being gay is not innate to a persons character, and therefore by watching gay things it will somehow transpose itself into that person then also becoming gay...?

which makes them gay in the first place because sexuality may be fluid to an extent but overtly heteronormative society doesn't appear to make gay people straight.

and after all nothing breeds contempt like familiarity.

Yes, they believe that simply knowing or seeing that lgbt people exist, it will force people, especially children, to choose to change their entire life trajectory to become lgbt, it’s built entirely on ignorance and prejudice

Not entirely, this is in effect exactly what is happening to many trans-identifying young girls [as in, biologically female transitioning to male] kids; there is an unquestionable element of social contagion, though it now seems to be waning.

I see little or zero evidence that this applies to sexuality though. Another unfortunate and unintended consequence of muddling sexuality up with gender ideology politics.

FWIW for me drag has little to do with either; it's not a gay man's right to create misogynistic caricatures of women by the virtue of it being "part of gay culture", any more than it would be OK for groups of women to get together and host competitons to see who can pretend to be the funniest stereotypical gay man.
