Greene told Kelly while they discussed how the House has not been in session since September, even though the shutdown does not require the House to go into recess. Greene discussed her bill, the Protect Childrens Innocence Act, which would make it a felony to provide gender-affirming care to trans youth, would make it harder for trans adults to access gender-affirming care, and would even ban medical schools from teaching about gender-affirming care. That bill needs a vote, she said. That bill needs a vote. Insights for the LGBTQ+ community Subscribe to our briefing for insights into how politics impacts the LGBTQ+ community and more.

Wiener, who is both gay and Jewish, has been the subject of rightwing conspiracy theories for years.You may love it, its gotta go, Kelly continued.I agree, Greene responded, smiling. Thats the only one well cut off. Kelly laughed. Im ready for the government to reopen so we can finally bring my Protect Childrens Innocence Act to the floor for a vote!!My bill codifies President Trumps executive order, making it a FELONY for doctors to perform genital mutilation or chemical castration on children. pic.twitter.com/TmUAScP3GD Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG) November 10, 2025Greene was referring to Kellys discussion of Wiener with her previous guests, in which Kelly called Wiener very, very pro transing your child, an aggressive, bad guy, and a dangerous dude.She played a clip of Wiener defending S.B. 107, a 2022 law that protected trans kids and their families from out-of-state prosecutions for gender-affirming care. Wiener introduced the bill in the state senate.What S.B. 107 says is that if you have a family, parents, and children that are in a state like Texas and they feel unsafe because they feel like theyre going to be criminalized and attacked, and they need to leave that state, they can come to California and we will protect them, Wiener said in the clip. We will do everything in our power not to send them back to Texas or Alabama or any of these other states for criminal prosecution, and were not going to honor subpoenas from those states for medical records, and that these parents and these kids, these families, can be safe here. But the opponents who are trying to attack trans kids, trying to drive them to suicide, pretend they dont exist and then criminalize the parents who are supporting their trans kids? These opponents are lying about the bill and claiming that it somehow undermines parental rights. Its the exact opposite, it supports parents.Kellys previous guests claimed that Wiener supports legalizing child sex abuse, which isnt true. Their claim is based on a bill from 2020 that had to do with sex offender registries in the state and equalizing how same-sex and opposite-sex sexual relationships are treated. Prior to 2020, judges had discretion to keep some adults off the sex offender registry if they were similar in age to the person they had sex with, e.g., an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old, but only for straight couples. Wieners law just took that discretion and applied it to all couples of similar ages, regardless of gender.Wiener received death threats at the time, with many on the right accusing him of legalizing child sex abuse, even though conservatives did not advocate for taking away judges discretion regarding opposite-sex couples. Republicans generally do not favor banning adult men from being able to marry underage girls.Wiener is currently running for Congress in Californias 11th Congressional District, which is entirely in San Francisco.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
