Overview
- Moore, in a PBD Podcast interview released Tuesday, said he would not tell an underage son to wait until 18 to transition and would support him emotionally.
- He emphasized staying closely involved as a parent and said he would not condemn, castigate, or eject his child from the home for wanting to transition.
- He drew a clear line on medical steps by saying he would not allow his child to use puberty blockers and called such decisions personal to families.
- Right-leaning outlets amplified the clip and framed the stance as politically risky for a Democrat discussed as a 2028 prospect, with RNC Research sharing the exchange.
- Reports differed on the son’s age, citing 12 or 14, and Moore has not issued further clarification as he seeks a second term in Maryland.
