This is where the elected officials/voters divide really comes in hard, though. At the level of voters, no one wants child drag shows, regardless of whether they put their ballot in for R or D every couple of years. Even the state of California wouldn't vote to stage one if it were some kind of ballot measure. Remember affirmative action lost by double digits there last year, despite Biden carrying the state +29.
If elected officials support that kind of shit, well, there are a lot of perverts in the upper class.
I still maintain that no state is ever going to drop its age of consent below 16 (California is 18), and if anyone tried it would be an absolute dumpster fire and result in recall if not outright rebellion. Over the past few years, most states have tightened their laws on underage marriage significantly.
