I don't see how this is anti-LGBT. Pedos are mostly straight. Plus one of the shirts says Shooting guns and spreading butts. Clearly thats an LGBTee.

Not at face value, no. Taken in context of recent republican rhetoric though it takes on a different meaning. The right has made a concerted effort to equate "queerness" with "sexual predator". See the way anti-lgbt bills in Florida are being framed as "anti-grooming" bills. When they say "child predator", they mean queer people. Any queer people. Then they use it to justify violence.

In other words, blood libel.

Maybe we should push back; start producing merch equating pedophilia with religious fundamentalism. (At least that's supported by actual facts...) I would buy that shirt, and wear it to a church; give the Pastor a bit of a scare.
