Watching the hate group LGBAlliance and the few queer folks who are propping it up take aim at LGBTQ+ kids is sickening. This whole "It's a phase" and "You'll grow up straight" rhetoric they're pushing is pure homophobia. There's not a queer person who's made it to adulthood...
who hasn't lived through some form of homophobia/biphobia as a kid. Whether it was just background noise that took form of "straight" being the only acceptable option or the more direct and violent bullying for being *different*. Pretty sure we all have those experiences.
There's nothing wrong with creating an environment where kids are shown that "straight" isn't the only option. That it's ok to experiment and discover yourself. That being gay or bi isn't "wrong". That if you don't fit into that straight category...
you're ok. You're not "wrong" or "bad". Giving kids the space to get to know themselves without the stigma and shame forced upon us by homophobes isn't harmful. Kids who are discovering themselves shouldn't be made to feel shame for that. LGBTQ+ education isn't about "sex". It's
only homophobes who sexualise LGBTQ+ kids in that way. LGBTQ+ education is about creating a safe environment for kids to understand who they are & to do so without the stigma and shame forced upon them by homophobes. It's a way to show straight kids that being LGBTQ+ is "normal"
As "normal" as being straight is & that they're not alone. That they don't have to suffer in silence and confusion. Watching LGBTQ+ people who have fully embraced transphobia push this anti-LGBTQ+ education narrative just so they transphobe harder is truly horrifying. You all...
went through this same kind of oppressive homophobia that we all did and to deny that and encourage it and even promote this kind of homophobia just so can "own the trans" is evil. You're trying to eradicate trans kids and make sure they suffer and you're harming all our kids to
make sure you achieve your hateful & evil goals. You're no better than all the all homophobes who ever lived. You're worse in fact because u know better.
Trans kids deserve love & support & to be who they are. LGBTQ+ kids deserve love & support & to be who they are. Let them be.

There's a reason these people are pushing "it's a phase" again at our LGTBQ+ youth.
That reason is "If we acknowledge that LGBTQ+ kids know themselves, then we have to acknowledge trans kids know themselves too".
It's that simple. It's 2 birds with 1 stone. They get ALL OF US.

There was a # trending yesterday, "iFirstKnewIwasLGBTQ" where THOUSANDS of queer folks shared their stories of being a kid & LGBTQ+. That we KNEW when we were kids. We didn't grow out of it. We're here, all grown up & living proof that being LGBTQ+ isn't a "phase".
The LGBAlliance & it's rw minions spent the day decrying our lived experiences because they can't allow us the respect of knowing who we are, because if they do, then trans kids deserve that same respect and they can't have that. Not for 1 second. Don't be fooled by their..
fake concerns. They have one goal & that is pure & unadulterated transphobia. The bonus for them is that they get to target LGBTQ+ kids too which helps their puppet masters, the rw anti-LGBTQ+ evangelicals.
Wake up to this before it's too late for all our kids & the rest of us.
