Nah the kids are strictly an excuse of convenience. So much of conservative antipathy toward gay, queer, trans, etc people amounts to ‘get back in the closet so that I can forget that people who are different than me exist.’ They are willing to heap a lot of hate, discrimination, etc upon other people just so they don’t have to be a little uncomfortable occasionally. Pretty much any time someone drops a ‘Won’t someone please think of the children?!’ what they mean is ‘I hate this but I can frame it as being about protecting children so I don’t look like a hateful bastard.’
Well it might also make the women inside feel uncomfortable, which is a bonus. Now more people are uncomfortable about the issue, so they can further drive wedges.

NVM you meant the conservatives waiting outside the bathroom not the women inside of it.
