According to Fox News:
The books mentioned in the video were” Naked: Not Your Average Sex Encyclopedia” by Myriam Daguzan Bernier and” Queer, 2nd Edition: The Ultimate LGBTQ Guide for Teens” written by Kathy Belge and Marke Bieschke.
According to some X responses, the video was originally blocked for breaking the platform’s guidelines against “hateful conduct.”
Gomez’s campaign was contacted by Fox News Digital for a comment.
Gomez’s post was comparable to one that featured Bill Eigel, a Republican presidential candidate for governor in 2024, and Missouri state senator. At the St. Charles County Freedom Fest celebration on September 15 outside of Saint Louis, Missouri Republican state Sen. Nick Schroer and Eigel were seen in the video shooting flames at cardboard boxes.
In a previous campaign video, Gomez stated that he would rather receive$ 1 from each and every hard-working American who watched this than to make one of the Super Pac.
They are loyal to the particular interests, they say. My allegiance is to God, the constitution, and most important, to the people. I’ll gladly accept the Democratic nomination second month, she continued.

I will put Missouri up on the map if I accept your nomination for @GOP@MissouriGoP. #nocorruption image lbpB2rD3Sp on twitter.com

NBC News reports:
The “message is straightforward,” according to Maicoll Gomez, the campaign director for GOMEZ, in an email.
You want to be homosexual, right? Be queer, great. Just do n’t do it in front of kids, the statement advised. Stop putting books about child sexualization, indoctrination, and grooming in libraries. Children must learn math, science, people skills, exercise, and maintain their innocence. no becoming familiar with the ideologies that the extreme left enjoys instilling in kids. I oppose all drag shows involving kids, pride flags in the classroom, teachers using pronouns, those who want to” change” genders and those unable to even define what a woman is. How does removing genitalia affirm gender if they do n’t define it? I just worry about God.
Americans” should be concerned that a candidate for public office not only thinks book burning is satisfactory, but that it is something that will help her get elected,” said Kathy Belge, one of the authors of” Queer: The Ultimate LGBTQ Guide for Teens.””}]] [[{“value”:”

Fox News:
The video featured “Naked: Not Your Average Sex Encyclopedia”, written by Myriam Bernier, and “Queer 2nd Edition: the Ultimate LGBTQ Guide for Teens”, by Kathy Belge and Marke Bieske.
Some responses on X stated that the video had been restricted because it violated the platform’s policy against “hateful behavior.”
Fox News Digital contacted Gomez’s Campaign for a response.
Gomez’s tweet was similar to one that featured Bill Eigel, a Missouri state senator who is running for governor in 2024. In the video, Eigel can be seen shooting flaming cardboard boxes with Nick Schroer, a Missouri Republican state senator, during the St. Charles County Freedom Fest outside St. Louis, on September 15.
Gomez stated in a previous campaign video that he would rather receive one dollar from each hard-working American who watched the video than create a Superpac.
“Their loyalty is to special interests.” My allegiance is with the people, the Constitution, and most importantly, God. “And next month, I’ll happily accept the Republican nomination,” added she.

Per NBC News
Maicoll Gomez is the campaign director for Gomez. In an emailed message, she said that “the message is simple.”
“You want to be homosexual? You can be gay. “Just don’t do this around children,” said the statement. Stop putting books about sexualization, indoctrination, and grooming children in libraries. Children should learn math, science, develop their people skills and get fit while protecting their innocence. It is important that children do not learn the radical left’s ideologies. I am against drag shows in front of children, pride flags on classroom walls, teachers using pronouns, those who want to ‘change genders’, and people who can’t define what a woman even is. If genitals do not define gender, then how does removing genitals affirm it? “I only fear God.”
Kathy Belge, author of “Queer: the Ultimate LGBTQ Guide for Teens,” told Americans that they “should be concerned” that a candidate running for public office “not only thinks that book burning is acceptable but that it will help her to get elected.”
