Teaching kindergartners all about transgenderism

Yup, exactly the same. If all you think about is sex when YOU see a family photo, you are a special kind of sick.

LGBT movement has become like the vegans. Intolerant and angry at whomever whenever wherever.
Would you also outlaw Mardi Gras? That is the heterosexual comparison to gay pride parades (and only the big ones in liberal cities at that). I went to my first pride this year. Living in a very conservative area, there was no naked people dancing around or anything too crazy. It was just a fun, inclusive event. The most offensive thing there was the Christian protesters yelling at everyone to "get AIDS and die" among other things. Other than that, it was an excellent experience and gave me a lot of hope that even here, in the buckle of the Bible Belt, that not everyone is a hatemonger.

But as you said, having pride parades and having a photo on your desk are two completely different things. For what it's worth, I have to be very nervous holding my boyfriend's hand in public. Whenever I've done so, I've received a lot of stares and dirty looks. No violence personally but it happens all the time so it's something I always have to be aware of. I also don't want to be out at work because it would bring me more problems than benefits, but that also means I cannot have pics of me and my boyfriend on my desk nor can I bring him to the company Christmas party. Those are things that you, as a white heterosexual Christian, never have to think about.

Whenever people lament about pride parades I always say one thing; be thankful that as a white heterosexual Christian that you don't need one.

You can't be serious.

And what "orangeness" are you talking about? Perhaps you need to adjust the color settings on your TV and/or monitor. To most people, his hair is just blond. Bad color settings can make it appear orange (as well as skin tones).

Or are your eyes bad?

Oh, I would think that poster would most definitely ban Mardi Gras. Why there are drunk woman flashing their boobs and taking off their shirts! Drinking, drinking, drinking. Disgraceful.

And I agree--the Gay Pride parades are not full of nude people--just people having fun.

Fun may be outlawed next by the admin.

And you had a good post going until the end ... where you went to one of the Go To red flag 'farguments' (fake argument), that I must be XYZ so I don't understand. Fail. Not logical, rationale or evidence-based. You have no idea who I am.

Where did I say outlaw pride parades? Or Mardi Gras? If you need a parade to make yourself feel better about your life ... maybe reexamine your life?

Why do people need so much approval from others? I don't get it.

You are right. There are freaks of nature among all living things. That shouldn't dictate that all of society adapt to the abnormal.

Why do you need the government to promote your religion and enforce its norms? I don't get it.

Nice facts and evidence. The problem though is that there were only 6 people in that study. Also, we know that brain connections and plasticity changes throughout life. So, no way to tell if those were present at birth. Finally, the fact that a few brain connections that are similar to those found in the opposite sex does not overcome all of the other genetics and anatomy that defines a person’s sex.

To overrule this it have to go to the Supreme Court some said and they wouldn't touch it? Think that holds true hopefully it does.
