Not a persecution, yet. The younger generation is very pushy when it comes to the trans, gay, queer population. I am talking about Christian kids (maybe former, not sure) chastising their elders for having a Christian worldview regarding the LGBTQ+++. These are kids that got degrees from conservative Christian universities. Brainwashed.
I can see those type of young people turning in their elders to authorities if the “need” came up.
It is very strange to me how as you say the younger generation are so pushy about all the LBGtq etc stuff. If I even dare to mention that the problem is mental illness, then I am met with eye rolls and condemnation. I don’t care, I still tell them that there is right and there is wrong, that there is good and there is evil. I am sorry that the scales are tightly glued to their eyes as I raised them as Christians. I tell them that I personally don’t care how people choose to live their lives, but I don’t have to be on board with it and pretend like it’s normal.
