If you're ever at an anti-LGBTQ march "for the children", ask these bigots why they aren't marching against the sexual exploitation of children in local parishes.
They will stutter on their words, I guarantee. Seeing this strategy in action is hilarious and highly effective!
Yes, but the government is not grooming children in the church, it is for grooming children in the schools, it is trying to force the grooming of children in the schools.
Letting the kids be who they are, and letting them know that certain minorities exist is not grooming them.
However, acting like parents own their kids is.
Bigots really want to pretend that some teenager discovering that they are gay or trans is a result of some massive conspiracy rather than, you know, they just being gay or trans.
They call it "grooming" when LGBT people simple exist in society where people might notice them, and they want to make such a scandal that people don't even think what is the opposite of that which they want.
It's so vile. I detest that so many people are so willingly and freely hateful of complete and utter strangers, over things that don't effect anyone else.
This is slowly turning into everything history lessons warned me of, and it's insane. We are in 2023, we have the damned WORLD at our fingertips, yet people happily choose blind hatred, even if it means they also get harmed in the process themselves.
I hate all of this. I used to believe that way more people were actually caring and intelligent, but it seems like many are very eager to prove that as wrong as possible.
If you ask me, it's fuckin' ironic that "facts over feelings" is a point that they try to make. Science supports transitioning, so that doesn't even make sense. Many animals change their full bio sex in nature. It really shouldn't be rocket science that humans change genders. It's not a new thing either, historically speaking. We've been transitioning for a pretty long time, throughout many years and cultures.
Also teens are learning who it is they are and are going to try out all kinds of identities and activities til they find ones that fit. For some that includes their sexuality. No one is forcing kids to try being gay or trans, just not judging them for the curiosity. Some of those kids will find out that they are more comfortable that way, some will find out it is not really for them. C'est la vie.
Seek medical help I think you're having a stroke with that comment.
Unless there is a missing /s there somewhere.
Oh cool someone else who has no idea what they're talking about! I'm in the education industry and work closely with 7 schools in my local district. No one is grooming or indoctrinating children, those are conservative buzz words. They're simply teaching the kids that if they don't feel like they fit the gender norms that it's okay.
Only the rabid right would say batshit crazy crap like that.
Where’s the block button on this thing…

And this right here is hate speech. The same comments were being done by the protestors
