If you’re concerned about pedophiles grooming children, you should be focused on catholic priests, not drag queens.
A pedophile is anything but straight. Even if a male wants to have sex with little pre-teen girls, he's not straight, his mind and his sexual urges are bent and crooked.

Go watch a few hours of "To Catch a Predator" and you will see that the vast majority are straight Men trying to pick up young girls.

Anyways how did this thread get so off topic?
If the producers of "To Catch a Predator" wanted to portray any one group more or less often on their show, to skew viewer's perceptions, they certainly can. So just because some show depicts a certain ratio of predators, does not mean this is the rule, it only means these are the predators the show decided to put in episodes on air. You may as well be getting your political facts from campaign ads.

Exactly. How people make the leap that homosexuality and pedophilia are the same is stupidity or ignorance. There is a difference between that and two consenting adults.
Are you trying to say that when a man has sex with little boys, that he's not gay? I've heard people trying to make that claim, as if a man having sex with little boys "is straight." Please tell me you are not one of those people that think that way.

This in your face has been going on for years and years.
Why does anyone(especially the lgbt community) feel it is necessary to be recognized ?
Who really gives a rat's ass?
Obviously many posters here care since there are so many posts about this. I just don’t understand why some have such a problem with this.

Would you spend money in a business that flew a Donald J. Trump flag?

If I owned a business, I wouldn't fly any flags.

I still don't get why people are celebrating how they were born and who they like to have sex with.

Deciding how and where you like to spend your money is not a form of freedom?

Wow, who knew?

All I care about is best price, best deal. It's called capitalism.

I think most of don't care if someone is Gay or Trans etc.. but we don't like when it is shoved in our faces and we are forced to celebrate that lifestyle.



I do try to avoid stores that have gone Woke and ones that push Political Opinions.
