This is what you and your bigotry leads too
And the attackers were.... not identified outside of ‘boys’...why is that? An independent investigative journalist is how I learned they were teen migrants that objected bc of their faith
Obv kids are going to learn about LGBTQ, but a lot of parents don’t want the government being the ones to decide how much they’re ready for and when, bc every kid is different- it was the same with the timing for sex ed as well. Why is there such a war against letting kids be freaking kids until they can process the information? There was an article from the UK about girls being ostracized and ridiculed at their all girls school if they identified as heterosexual. And, yes, religious beliefs will undoubtedly come into the conversation, bc we have large numbers of 3 major religions. I’ve always had gay friends and an issue that some have had with Christians (tho some of them are Christians), when we talked about it, boiled down to the Bible and what God says about it, not that they weren’t loved by Christians. None of us are God, so even if we wish it wasn’t deemed a sin in scripture, our opinion doesn’t change God’s opinion- and ultimately, that’s where the biggest struggle is. You’ll have some Christians say ‘God didn’t mean it’ but they’re putting themselves on the same level as God if they’re trying to speak for Him, which is insane, and doesn’t do anyone any good. But God says a lot of stuff is sinful that ppl do, and that’s between them and God to sort. Why being gay is singled out as an ‘elevated’ sin was strange to me. When I’d hear ppl elevate it and ask why, I always got the same answer ‘bc It’s the top of a slope, and while they’re consenting adults, ppl with sinister motives will use that as the sled to get to depravity, even an attempt to normalize p***philia.’ I thought they were insane...but over sexualizing kids and p***philia keep trying to attach their harness to lgbt, whether lgbt want it or not (I don’t personally know any that do...).
And yes, there’s backlash, partially bc of the radical side wanting to dictate when and what is taught with kids, instead of letting their parent’s decide. Also, bc of situations where ppl have family that cut them out bc they’re gay & ppl that simply are insecure or hate themselves scream/get aggressive towards ALL the people they meet of one faith bc they’re angry or hurt- and ppl that haven’t done anything to them are sick of being blamed. Where they’ve really lost ppl is with the gender stuff. XY chromosome playing sports against XX. Young girls not feeling safe in a bathroom where there aren’t parameters- someone can simply ‘identify as a woman for 3 minutes’ and that’s accepted, even tho it literally gives an open pass for pervs to abuse it.
I read an article where a staunch 3rd wave feminist and her wife were giving a talk about how XY are now being given preferential treatment over XX within female spaces if they simply just say they’re female, and that’s ‘men once again exerting privilege over women within our own space that we’ve fought so hard for’ and one was literally beaten down by a trans woman after her talk (that was huge in comparison). BUT, bc they identified as a woman, it wasn’t considered a man assaulting her, even though there’s a clear difference between XY and XX strength. That further pissed them off and said it proved their point even more. Then they were saying “cis men, where are you?! Why aren’t you saying something?” The comments were exactly what I expected: ‘the type of men that would usually be there to defend you have been told repeatedly that they are toxic, sexist, and unwelcome *by you*’.... the backlash has just started, and it’ll lead to legal definitions and requirements like “must have two XX chromosomes.” They can try and take away the ‘name’ but it doesn’t change actual physical power and ability. So I don’t think backlash is against some being gay, it’s against this other stuff that some ppl are trying to force others to agree with them on, but that goes outside the scope of ‘lgbt are consenting adults, they should have hetero rights’ into ‘you don’t get to have your gender bathroom, or choose when your own child learns about sex, and your daughter is losing her college track scholarship in women’s track to a trans woman.’ Some of the most liberal ppl I know are saying ‘enough’.
A Muslim community got the lgbt lessons thrown out of their British school by massive revolt. It’s not going to be a one off...
