'''Gays Against Groomers''' ('''GAG''', f. 2022) is an American/International coalition of [[assimilationism|assimilationist]], antiqueer, radical-[[feminism|feminist]], and predominantly right-wing gay activists who are highly active on social media, particularly [[MAP visibility on Twitter|Twitter]]. GAG have courted publicity from the right-wing media, including FOX News (Tucker Carlson) and more fringe-oriented outlets, and have been described as a "media front group".

GAG, a pro-[[safeguarding]] charity founded by '''Jaimee Michell''' (a feminist lesbian, associated with right-wing media), are best known for making anti-[[queer]], anti-[[Transgender youth and attraction to minors|trans]] arguments by associating queer and trans people with [[pedophobia|pedophobic]] tropes such as [[grooming]]. Members of GAG have attended numerous rallies to protest "gender-affirming" care for trans youth, but their numbers have been disappointing, reinforcing the hypothesis that they are a media front group. GAG have also attempted to provoke mass-report campaigns against [[Minor Attracted Person|MAPs]] on [[Minor attracted community|Twitter.com]], succeeding in sending large amounts of traffic to Newgon.net. In one instance, a "chapter" account of GAG posted photographs of [[Wikipedia:Rachel Levine|Rachel Levine]] alongside a bizarre religious pedophile conspiracy theory, called for the public registration of those who support consent-awareness educators, and made a veiled call to shoot such people.<ref name=GAGArchive />

GAG's followers on Twitter.com tend to fall into categories such as "MAGA Movement", "Patriot" and "Zionist" (despite their alleged association with the Goyim Defense League). Only after these main categories, come actual LGBTQ people.

GAG have been accused by the left-wing media of playing a role in various violent acts, being associated with far-right politics, grifting, and of being "anti-LGBTQ" in the outright. Wikipedia (linked below) repeats these accusations and sources them.
