Of course. And the thrust of the article, that the alphabet community sees less tolerance among younger generations, means that they'll be pushing for more of this indoctrination of the very young.

Here, kids read to dogs, at our libraries. So far.

Ah ... there it is.

Drag queens want an audience of children to promote gender fluidity and LGBT.

It only took about 10 posts for you to finally land on it.

They don't care about reading to the kids. They want to bring their agenda to CHILDREN.

Here are my thoughts on this topic. I think if you speak to the average American citizen, they understand and appreciate diversity and they respect each and every cause.


However, I think these messages are teetering on the point of saturation. It's all we hear these days and it's SOOO in your face. Every time you turn around we are being told of another rally, demonstration or parade and it can be overkill.


Bravo to continue the cause, but from a strategy point of view perhaps it's time to tone it down a bit or risk losing the interest of citizens that identify with a more mainstream attitude.

I have not personally experienced intolerance by the LGBT community. Like I never had anyone accost me because I declined to attend a gay pride event. Not saying it doesn't happen.

However, I find it interesting that the text you quoted includes:

Participants were asked how they felt about seeing a same-sex couple hold hands, learning that a family member or a doctor identifies as LGBTQ and learning that their child has been placed in a class taught by an LGBTQ teacher, among other situations

If that is your idea of being "in your face" - ie, just doing what normal people do - then you really got a problem.

I'll tell you an example of sexualizing kids - these parents who enter little girls in beauty contests, and have them all dolled up in make-up and bouffant hairdos and swimsuits. You know, the Jon Benet Ramsey scene. That to me is sick. If I had a young daughter I'd much rather have her read to by some benign drag queen than put through that perverted gender stereotyping.

It's the same thing.

There are TG/drag kids dancing around dressed like girls in bars while drunk men throw money at them.

But that's OK because it's LGBT, while pageants for young girls are not.

They are the SAME. Both are wrong.

I dont care what people do with themselves in private. But, Do you really have to go overboard to convince the world you are different and want to be excepted. Thats the problem. Tone it down. Do I get a parade because I banged the cashier girl at the local filling station. No.

That being said one thing that I do find a bit annoying with a segment of that crowd is that sometimes they do seem like they are in your face a bit with it. Some of the shenanigans that goes on at some of the gay pride festivals is pretty gross frankly. I'd say the same thing if it were straight people carrying on that way. I guess when it comes to PDA I'm fairly conservative.
Ah! I was scrolling down to the end ( I do read all posts) to remark about this.
Gays are not doing themselves a favor at all by presenting themselves in these types of parades/demonstrations which can only make those of us that have no problem at all , turn away.
A bit??? Some of them are outright obscene.
The gay people that I know would never, in a million years, participate in or condone that type of thing.
They're just ordinary people with similar set of public decency and even modesty as anybody else.
I won't post any videos because I would suppose you've all seen those outrageous ones

Many posters here are talking exactly about THAT kind of stuff. They say they just don't want it in their face, but what they really want is to not have to see it at all. They want gays to hide and be secretive again. They pretend like everything is a-okay for all LGBT's in America and always has been. They ignore the fact that LGBT people have been beaten and killed simply for not being a normal acting hetero.

Simply minding your own business, but not hiding your non-hetero lifestyle is all that is needed for a lot of people to think of it as "in your face." 2 of the favorite phrases by people trying to pretend they don't hate LGBT is "in your face" and "gay agenda." Ooooo, scary agendas!! Only evil people would ever have an agenda.
