Ahead of the midterm election, conservative candidates and pundits continued to repeat the false claim that schools are providing litter boxes for students who identify as cats or furries — despite a lack of evidence and repeated debunkings.
litter box claims made by more than 20 conservative political candidates and elected officials and found that every district named by those politicians said the allegations were false.
The claims are meant to "delegitimize the fight for LGBTQ rights and accommodations," said Yotam Ophir, a professor of communication at the State University of New York at Buffalo. "It’s that old homophobic trope, which was like, ‘Well, gay marriage? What’s next? Marrying your dog?’" Baker said. "It’s that kind of thing."
