That's a rather blatantly partisan comment to make.  This whole conversation the terms democrat and republican hadn't even came up, until now..


who gets to decide "normal" just because something is normal for you does not automatically mean it is normal for another.  If every hormone and chemical signal in a child's body says gay or lesbian that is their normal. Your feelings for the opposit sex are just as perplexing to them as their feelings are to you

Every one of us was born as a product of heterosexual sex.  I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that heterosexuality is the predominate sexuality world wide, therefore "the norm".

The only people who sexualize drag queen story hours are right-wing adults trying to make a political point.  The children of preschool age don't see the person behind the costume. So while you are busy getting your panties in a twist over OMG a man in a dress...they see a brightly colored often glittery dress with sequins and feathers.  They see big hair and outrageous makeup.  They see the character.  And all that character is doing is sitting there reading a book to them, just like someone dressed like a super hero or a Disney princess does

Why do you think that children should be exposed to alternative lifestyle persons wearing costumes?  Seems more like you just want to support "normalizing the abnormal" behavior, and perhaps encourage new, unsuspecting children to think that perhaps they could be the queen behind the costume.  If true, that's really bizarre..


Serious question, did you decide you liked girls at age 18 or more likely 12-14?  You knew you liked girls early in your life and no amount of persuasion would make you suddenly like boys.  Young people know they are gay or lesbian at the same age others know they are straight.  Failure to acknowledge that isolates a child and injures their mental health.  And if you don't want outside influences affecting their decision then let's get rid of ANY relationships in media, books, art, public life, etc  Lock children in their bedrooms until they are 18 and finally expose them to other people in the outside world

It is a pretty basic idea....You can't make a gay kid straight and you can't make a straight kid gay

I agree that you can't make a gay kid straight and vice versa, I actually have no problem with people being who they actually are or want to be.  We have a nephew who came out as gay in HS, in one of the more "redneck" towns in southern Ohio.  That didn't change how we feel or interact with him, most of the family likely knew before he even realized.  More power to him, the fact that he respected his family enough to wait until he was 17 was something that we all applauded. (he's finishing his second year at UD, and doing fantastic)  The problem that I have is that under the law, children aren't supposed to be having sex in the first place.  And I get that kids will do what they want, etc.  The problem is that we as a society have made sexuality so acceptable in pretty much every aspect of our society and culture, that now children likely are feeling pressure to become sexual beings sooner than most are mentally and emotionally developed to fully understand the point and consequences of those actions.
