Nancy Mace launched her gubernatorial campaign, emphasizing a hardline stance against LGBTQ+ rights and immigration. She identifies as a defender against what she perceives as a 'gender cult' and aims to ban inclusivity in education, stating, "I want kids coming home with A's and B's, not they/them." Her remarks prompted backlash from LGBTQ+ advocacy groups. Mace's shift from an LGBTQ+ ally to a prominent transphobia figure marks a significant change in her political persona, reflecting the culture war tactics prevalent in contemporary Republican discourse.
"I will hold the line," Mace said repeatedly, casting herself as a warrior against what she called "the gender cult," undocumented immigrants, and public colleges that acknowledge the existence of more than two genders.
"We're going to ban pronouns in the classroom," she added. "I want kids coming home with A's and B's, not they/them."
