“Then the queers upped the ante and did something we gays never did: they targeted children.”
Yup that’s when they crossed the line.
gays have been targeting children
much more quietly
trans have been loud about it
sexual deviants always hid in the gay community...I have no problem with gay or even trans individuals. The problem has always come from not acknowledging that theses issues are mental health issues dealing with ones concept of self not an issue of acceptance by others. no one should ever be forced legally to except any of this as normal. when any of this is normalized, we run into issues that are highly destructive to society.
with the left and activists there is the mistaken belief that civil rights means that issues like gender and sexual attraction can entitle someone to rights that over ride the basic rights of others.
the basic right of free association is being trampled over by leftists whenever there is talk about trans rights or gay rights.
everyone should have the right not to associate with others. the only place that the right of free association should not be allowed is with in government and corporate power structures when that corporation has any sort of monopoly in the interaction it does in the public space.
Sorry, but that's a flat out lie. (I know you're quoting the article.) It isn't so much that they crossed the line as that they got caught.
