This was written two years before Blue's Clues had a drag queen / Pride parade.
"Last month, the CBC—Canada’s public television network—ran a lavishly publicized documentary about “four kid drag queens as they prepare to slay on Montreal stage.” This was marketed as child-friendly content. Indeed, the CBC promoted the documentary, titled Drag Kids, on its “CBC Kids News” channel as a fun look at children who “sashay their way into the spotlight.”
For me, as a gay man, watching the documentary was traumatic."

I knew to the moment when the ‘60’s counter culture died. It was an ad in Newsweek for ripped, worn-looking genes worn by an obvious hippie. I realized that once the hippies were being marketed to, the real counter culture they were a part of had turned mainstream. Overnight, people who had maintained the button down collar and good looking dresses during the hippy movement were now all dressed as hippies.
When I saw more or less straight-laced parents virtue signaling by dressing their kids up as drag queens, I got a similar feeling. The LGBT culture was on the cusp of vanishing. Like the ersatz hippies who became stock brokers, but dressed like hippies all through college the stupid parents subsumed the real gay culture into irrelevance. I noticed some time ago that butch lesbians were no longer fashionable. Now, they mostly identify as “queer” to make room for the new “trans” women. (Trans women can’t be lesbians because that would make them heterosexual men in stupid clothing. So, something had to give and it was old-fashioned lesbians who had to convert to something else.)
There have always been homosexuals. But instead of forcing bakers to bake their wedding cakes, they’ll just go back to being regular men who occasionally hook up with other men. Lesbians will be much quieter, not because they don’t like other women anymore, but because the loud, in-your-face brashness is just no longer new or cool.
You probably won’t see many more gay weddings or gender reveal parties either. The feeling of being part of a social movement has faded into irrelevance. Something else will come along, but it’s not here yet. Enjoy the respite.
“Unfortunately, you simply cannot have one without the other, Pandora’s Box has been opened.”
Not true. Plenty of things that are widely considered abnormal are perfectly legal and visa versa.
It is legal to cut off your fingers and wear them as a necklace.
It is legal to use your old CDs as roofing tiles.
It is legal to have dog doo-doo for desert.
It is legal to wear your underwear on the outside.
The fact that all these things are legal isn’t a threat to society - it’s when the kids are being taught it’s normal - that’s when you need to start worrying.
Legalization normalized it
Or the transgender /gender identity crap is recruitment FOR homosexuality.
Forty-six percent of the homosexual men in contrast to 7% of the heterosexual men reported homosexual molestation. Twenty-two percent of lesbian women in contrast to 1% of heterosexual women reported homosexual molestation.

Prevalence of sexual abuse of homosexual men ranges from 11% to 37%.
74 percent of bisexuals had been sexually abused as children.

People don’t even say they’re gay anymore, they say they’re “non-binary” or “sexually fluid”.
You have a point but if you wore a finger necklace or ate poop you could be 5150’d and probably committed.
Quillette has some excellent articles. The only thing that is a con is some of the authors string out their articles to 2 & 3 times what they need to be.
We do indeed use force of law to enforce what is right.
Some behavior is deviant and detrimental to society. Individual freedom gets curtailed at some point.
White men? If you go to the rallies, protests or riots of those who are all in for the lifestyle of the perverted and shameless, it is mostly White women.
Women are very malleable, not all of course but the vast majority.
BRAVO! I’d watch Trannies.
The article is a word salad. I cannot find a point or the presumed line of logic.
How transgenderism erases women - the crazy dude in a dress is more of a woman than actual women and wins women’s awards, while girls feel morally obligated to deny that they are women, hence most “non-binary” being girls ...
Bookmarking, to read about homosexual CSA later.
“We do indeed use force of law to enforce what is right.”
Yes, but only when enough people agree that it’s the government’s role to enforce it by law. Like murder. Like theft.
But there are also things society generally accepts as very wrong, but there is not a consensus that it should be the government’s role to enforce it by law.
Infidelity in marriage is one example.
Addiction is another.
Everyone agrees they are wrong but they don’t agree it’s the government’s business to prohibit it.
Prostitution and certain types of porn are illegal, but not infidelity itself. Driving with and possession of certain substances are illegal but not being addicted.
Homosexuality is another example. Many people may believe it’s wrong or deviant, but there is almost zero support for making it government’s business to prohibit it.
There is support for laws prohibiting public indecency - but not homosexuality itself.
I was joking .... kinga ... but the reality is who is gaining from all these things that are undermining things, such as women’s sports and this gay drag thing... MEN. It seems men have found a loophole.
The trans vogue is bizarre and appalling, but the idea that everyone who claims to be trans (and everyone who wears clothes associated with the other gender) is really gay and in denial may go too far.
There are lesbians being attacked for refusing to have sex with crazy heterosexual dudes in dresses.
There is a distinct possibility that there are butch lesbians being pushed to become men rather than being allowed to develop as women and become lesbian.
There’s definitely recruitment of autistic girls and lying to them about how becoming men solves their social problems ...
This one I’ve witnessed personally.
Misunderstanding a New Kind of Gender Dysphoria

perversion is not culture, just flaunted perversion
I agree. I tried reading the linked article but came away with the feeling that I just don’t speak Gay.
