have you seen her lately ?

she's a very old woman, with nothing to gain, nothing to lose

I chatted with her on the subway once.  She was about 70.  Very attractive woman if you are in the age bracket of course.

it's ironic that things turned out the opposite of Handmaids Tail

because Canada is the place where you are forbidden to dissent from the state religion

while in America dissent is expanding rather than contracting

Pete Buttigieg told Mike Pence "if you have a problem with who I am, your quarrel is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator." 

 

Well then let's send him back to his creator so he can deliver the complaint in person.     It really was a dumb answer to a serious question

Statistically, about 2.5 million voters are gay given that 9% of people are gay. That figure does not include heterosexual cross dressers who, though they are straight, and make up almost 90% of the crossdressing community, have some affilliation with the LGBTQ community. That is a lot of voters. Every political leader is aware of that. Mr. Poilievre is particularly sensitive to the rights of Canadians who belong to the rainbow community. More power to him.

As for schools, they have a duty of care. That means, if there is a Catholic school with 300 students, 27 of those students will, statistically, be gay. In order to protect those students from bullying, the school should educate the student population  that being gay is not an excuse for bullying anymore than being black. We all have friends and family members in the LGBTQ community whether we know it or not. Their sexual orientation has no bearing on the merit of their character. In any group of people, most are nice people and a few are jerks.

Pride parades not only bring in a lot of business and tax revenue, they are also a lot of fun. My only issue is the recent issue brought forward by some groups, of not allowing law enforcement members to march in uniform. (According to Leviticus, law enforcement uniforms are an abomination in the eyes of the Lord, just like being gay.)

Pete Buttigieg told Mike Pence "if you have a problem with who I am, your quarrel is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator." 

 

The problem that is being underlined over and over but still isn’t being understood is with the imposition of symbols that represent lifestyles and identities that not everyone thinks are just fine.  There are important arguments that aren’t even religious as to why changing one’s body to appear to be another gender is not advisable, at least some of the time.  There are non-religious reasons for being concerned about raising kids to think that homosexual lifestyles are good choices, such as the inability to procreate naturally.  Then yes, there are faith-based reasons.  There are women’s rights concerns around the trans debate.

To simply throw up a symbol of all of these non-biological identities and various sexual orientations across the society as though everyone must be in support, or to think that this doesn’t entail social engineering, is ridiculous.

It’s not about the right to live as a gay person or trans person.  Those rights are granted.  It’s the imposition of perspectives that is the entire issue being discussed.  No one here is advocating for bullying or harm towards people with these identities or orientations.  Why is this so hard to understand?  Why must someone have a flag attached to their organization, business, church or school that they never agreed to?  If I enter a Catholic school, presumably the symbols should reflect Catholic values. Why does a flag representing lifestyles and identities that violate that faith’s beliefs have to be there?  It’s a very creepy and totalitarian oppressive move.  It’s basically an attack on what people hold to be sacred.  Universal love is represented in Christianity by the cross.  Most people don’t even know what the stripes on the pride flag represent.  It’s so obvious that all of this is about imposing a dubious value system on people, very arguably a bad one.

Actually I found out gay pride is August 23-25 weekend. Is there another thing called pride season which is now or the timing of thread is not correct?

There are numerous gay pride events and time periods. Many overlap. To steal from the old country western song, it's Gay  o'clock somewhere.

It goes way beyond simple perspective now...

Take a moment and Imagine yourself trying to explain this to village elders in Africa in a manner that doesn't trash your credibility with them. 

If nothing else, the mental exercise alone offers some perspective on our trajectory.   

 Before you do take the Canadian flag off your shoulder... somehow it makes you feel less silly

You would probably have to start by explaining the waxing process itself and move on from there. IMO, it's a conversation best avoided by deflection and passing out a few cigarettes... even if you don't smoke you might want to choke one down. It's the perfect time to pass out that new soccer ball to the kids... donated by your church back home BTW.

Try to visualize it in the context of a Monty Python sketch. Sometimes you only realize how silly you look when you have to explain this sort of stuff in detail to people with real problems.

quite sure Africans understand tearing down British & French symbols and replacing them with totalitarian Communism

the Decolonization which Canada is being subjected to now, largely originates in Africa

Historical symbols, political science, decolonization, totalitarian communism (and the like) doesn't usually resonate with villagers who live with (what I call) the concept of nothing. Where life is hard outlooks and basic needs become pretty simple. The immediate problem is things like potable water, cattle stealing, basic medical supplies and broken promises. 

There's more humour here than might be apparent at first glance though. The idea that a man, who thinks he's a women, is being paid $35K in compensation because a girl in a beauty salon wouldn't wax the hair off his balls would likely be viewed as a Jurassic Park level of entertainment, but IMO there's more milage to be had in sticking with cigarettes and soccer balls.

The kids never seem to view that new soccer ball as an expression of colonial oppression either. Your milage in such things may vary.

we are what the Bolsheviks called the "Kulaks"

this is what a Communist takeover looks like

it's not incited by the masses, but rather a Marxist cult led by a Leninist revolutionary vanguard

except for the fact that these Marxist Leninist traitors have come to ;

at best,  throw you in prison on false charges

at worst, mass murder you & your kin

Getting off topic now but here's the thing... none of us smoking a cigarette while we watch the kids play with the new soccer ball knows what hell you're talking about.

we fought the Cold War against this Marxist Lenninist "Decolonization" ideology, from 1949 to 1989

it's the reason we posses 6,000 thermonuclear warheads including over 1500 remaining on hair trigger alert

it is the same ideology we are being confronted with from Beijing

no worries, I've already written Canada off as being fallen to Bolshevism

every institution in Canada, public & private, now embraces Marxist Leninist Decolonization as its core ideology

to include the courts, police and military

those parents who think they are going to resist, will find themselves marched off to a virtual GULAG as Kulaks

perhaps then they will know what I'm talking about, for all the good it will do them

I suppose they can read Solzhenitsyn while they languish in their virtual cells

These foolish debates about how many imaginary genders exist and whether bestiality and other longstanding deviant sexual preferences constitute love are emblematic of a loss of rational and moral grounding. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is one of the leading voices calling out what’s underway.  It’s basically an attack on the conditions of liberal democracy.

this is the arm of decision of totalitarianism

subjugating the masses by forcing them to accept the absurd

those who dissent mark themselves as enemies of the state therein

I would submit that the kids are far more aware of what's actually going on than you are

those high school students whom I've asked about it

they've read about the Cold War, they know what Communism is

they are aware that what their teachers are propagating in schools is Marxist Leninist lunacy

they are simply unsure as to what they could do about it

since bizarrely from their point of view, all the adults are going along with it, like zombies

"enemies of the state" ?  . . . . . many view the state as the enemy.

I am curious as to why some of you have an issue with M2F transition, but never any issue with F2M? Also, do our same correspondents know the difference between cross dressers, transgenders, drag queens and drag kings?

I believe that a lack of knowledge is the main driver of this issue.
