Part of it is the children, and part of it is the trans.
Most secular people were OK with the LGBs since they usually did their thing where people weren’t looking, but when the Ts wanted to change everything for the rest of us (bathrooms, competing in sports, paying for medical bills), that was a bridge too far even for secular people.
And when it gets pushed on the kids, that was when “normal people” started getting involved, both directly through school board meetings and protests, and indirectly through voting for standard-bearers at the state level who are actually turning the ships of state around and bringing them back to normalcy.
Unfortunately for the Christians among us, little to none of this has anything to do with people being concerned with what God desires in terms of holiness, but one must thank heaven even for small favors.
We didn’t even really understand what being gay was all about when we were teenagers. I remember when a woman was coming on to my mother after my father died and we told my mother that the woman couldn’t be a lesbian because she was married and had children. We didn’t understand until years later.
I am afraid that trans and pedophilia are too closely related and that all too often, acceptance of trans is just an excuse to cover for pedophilia.
