Bullshit. It's because Trump is on it.
In 2022—the same year DeSantis signed the "Don't Say Gay" bill and social media saw a 406% increase in the term "groomer" on social media—the FBI recorded a sharp increase in hate crimes:
• Sexual orientation-based incidents increased by 49.7%.
• Gender identity-based crimes increased by 52.7%.
• Sexual orientation-based incidents increased by 49.7%.
• Gender identity-based crimes increased by 52.7%.

Around the time of the bill's passage, DeSantis's press secretary, Christina Pushaw, referred to the legislation as an "Anti-Grooming Bill." She tweeted that opponents of the bill were "probably a groomer or at least you don't denounce the grooming of 4-8 year old children."

This rhetoric contributed to a surge in the use of the term "groomer" in anti-LGBTQ+ narratives, with a reported 406% increase in related social media content following the bill's enactment.

It's not a coincidence that we saw such a significant spike in 2022, the year that DeSantis's "Don't Say Gay" bill—referred to by DeSantis's press secretary, Christina Pushaw, as the "Anti-Grooming Bill"—was signed into law.
