Quote When Democrats and liberals want to push their LGBTQ sexual fetish acceptance onto kids in schools and encourage and take their children to what amounts to a strip show with scantly clad dudes dancing like stippers in front of them taking money in their g-strings. So either you think there are people dancing around in g-strings in schools, in which case you'd be wrong, or you're complaining about how people choose to spend their private time, which makes you an annoying busybody.

It certainly does matter for how you and others are disingenuously trying to frame this. 41 minutes ago, Matthew said: The current anti-trans thing for example is an obvious way to signal to millions of bigoted voters that you're their guy. The appeal of getting those votes matters more to republicans than the reality that their political actions inevitably increase the thing they are saying they are against. Even now, you try to reduce the issues around trying to force gender identity nonsense onto children as an "anti-trans" thing. Nothing bigoted about wanting to protect children from Democrats encouraging life changing surgery and drugs, all so they can worship at their LGBTQ alter enough. The tides are turning against this madness except in liberal controlled areas and they are going to push this madness whether we oppose it or not. 9 minutes ago, Michael Hardner said: The fact that both sides need to acknowledge is that we've established a principle: dressing in drag in an adult setting is perfectly ok.

Do you support drag story hour in school? 2. Do you support it in a public place where parents are free to bring their kids? Easy questions. My answer is: 1. Probably not necessary for drag queens or clowns to read to children, nor to stir up a political identity fight in a classroom just to poke at Chuds. 2. Sure. Lots of parents like that, for some reason. Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner

See, here you are again, using the "anti trans" label. That is a left wing propaganda term so you can avoid having to actually discuss what the issues are really about, because when you starting having to defend butchering children with surgery to remove their body parts, it doesn't sound as good. No one is "targeting trans people" by opposing this pseudo-science driven more by an obsession with pushing LGBTQ worship onto the kids than actually helping kids. You can keep wishing this garbage gets normalized and I will keep calling it out for what it is you are doing. There is a reason why you use the terminology you do. If talking about it normalized it, you would be honestly talking about it for what it is. Quote

When it comes to institutional systems, economic and regulatory policies, labor issues, voting rights etc victories of the past are much more easily lost and struggles of the past more easily forgotten. Segregation has mostly to do with the way school district governmebts are so fragmented and there not much of a pathway to changing that system. When it comes to more generalized attitudes about rights, what people expect from their government, social issues-- maybe these exist more in the culture and are less likely to revert. 1 Quote
