      Removed, transphobia. The whole point isn’t making kids think they are non-binary, it’s to let kids who already know they are non-binary that they are normal and loved for who they are.

        It’s amusing to see cis-het extremists try to hold these two competing ideas in their heads:

        • Sexuality is entirely a choice and you can be tricked or peer pressured into having romantic feelings for another person

        • There is a CORRECT Sexuality and an INCORRECT Sexuality, written in the firmament of heaven. Any comment or situation that causes you to question your cisgendered or heterosexual nature is an attack on your person.

        Like, which is it? Are we all naturally gender-fluid and chasing the latest popular sexual trend? Or is there a rigid biological mandate that’s supposed to keep everyone straight?

        Also, why are you obsessed with making babies? Just endlessly fixated on having more and more and more kids, as quickly as possible? Everything about human sexuality seems to be rooted in the theory that dudes need to be fucking and ladies need to be getting pregnant constantly.

          How it is being forced on you exactly? What precisely have you seen in “almost all of the schools” you attended where anyone was forcing kids or forcing you to be LGBTQ+?

            Im not sure but both my old highschools completely banned having even a picture of a rainbow and numerous books, so I’d gladly swap with whatever reality this guy’s from

          Kinda like how they force you to learn about other religions and cultures in history class. It’s confusing for the children

        Yes I’m fine with LGBTQ+ people but I want people to figure out there gender I just don’t think a 8 year old can decide on their gender because I was a shit head when I was 8 like all 8 years olds I just don’t like when schools force kids to think there lgbtq+ when there not

          No one is forcing any child to think THEY’RE anything other than who they are. And THERE is no proof that exists that you could provide that would argue against this fact.

          You’re clearly not “fine” with the LGBTQ+, or you wouldn’t be spreading misinformation about them.

      Would like to suggest that you are in fact not okay with LGBTQ+ people. You enjoy the inflated concept of your own tolerance of them - but only when they mince delicately around your sensibilities.

      Might as well say " I am tolerant of briefly being in the same space as with queer people but only when they are isolated and never in a situation where their culture, needs or comfort is centered." It’s a low bar dude. You don’t have to like it It’s not for you and nobody is waiting on your blessing.

        I’m a dumb person can I can’t put most stuff in to words but I can say this is the video that pretty much describes what I don’t like about the LGBTQ+ community but I’m fine with LGBTQ+ people like MYSELF and most of my family https://youtu.be/WjKjCqfMrHE

          I am sorry that you aren’t comfortable with hardcore Prides. There are family friendly ones if you want to go but these are spawned by a history of protests. They remain protests. The community of Prides remain as a core of organization and links of communication that can be mobilized if shit goes really south. Nobody is forcing people to go to them.

          Also I will save people some time, using a video of someone who straight up says they have never BEEN to one? Really? If this person hasn’t even attended one why are they speaking out about them? They do not actually know about them. If you have fallen for this respectability politic what I say is still relevant.

          You may be gay but that doesn’t make you tolerant of the community. You don’t want to be a part of the wider community or the cutting edge of the cultue that’s fine. But there are a lot of people particularly gay and lesbian people who once they “got theirs” peaced out and decided that they could disappear into the mass of the hegemony with barely a whisper. Not everyone wants to do that. Not every one can. Trans advocacy was key to making same sex marriages legal, we have been there since the beginning facing the same persecution… and some people remember and are helping to pay that back.

          You want to play house and sneer at the queers great. You became what the people who fought for you fought against. Bigoted people will look to you and use your bigotry to excuse their own. That you echo their fucking talking points like a parrot who takes treats from their hands tells me you enjoy being kept. That you are as incurious about the community as the person in this video and you are using them to soothe your own bigotry just like others will use you. You don’t have to like the community but you don’t have to fuel some bigots fucking ego for them either. Sometimes it’s tactful to keep your opinions to yourself.

      Hypothetical question, are you okay with teaching children about straight relationships? Or is that something they should figure out later in life, not when they’re 8?
