Parents be aware that your kids are in LGBTQ clubs in the public schools, and schools aren't telling the parents.

@CestManan Yeah but I think they are so anti supportive of gay children because adults dressing up that way for movies and actually being that is two different things. These older people are from eras where it was acceptable to be gay in show biz only but not in real life.

I think that's my opinion from what I get anyways. Sort of like "if you don't talk about it, it's fine but if it's out there it's less accepted" kind of deal

@Carazaa [quote]That's not what the kid says in some cases![/quote]

And what do they say, do tell

@SatanBurger That the schools started calling them by male names and they thought that's what they wanted and "transitioned them " and normalized it without the kids consent. They told the parents and the Parents are furious, and so are the kids.

@basilfawlty89 theres a really good prank you can pull with that!

@Mistakesmakeus I'm aware there's horrible things I can do too. Knowledge is king! But nah, he's just some internet troll, I'm not gonna get myself in trouble. He already made a fool of himself publicly.

He took it a step too far by insulting Sid Haig. Come after me, but not Captain Spaulding!

@basilfawlty89 well you could just grab his name and sign him up for the church of scientology, theyll send him books all the time

@Carazaa I thought you were Christian. Well you might be, but the type of parents you describe there are appalling. I'm surprised they even mated, if they hate children so much they want to oppress them to that extent.

How can these victims of coercive and controlling behaviour marry if they are banned from dating anyone, and by extension, forbidden to fall in love...?

And what happens if, whether they live in loneliness enforced by selfish parents or they escape to happiness, they find more interesting and constructive things to do than read the same old book over and over and over again?

They can and should decide their own religious opinions for themselves. If that means abandoning their parents' Jesus-bothering, tough. Ma and Pa will just have to accept it.
.

"unGodly agendas", eh? Ideas you don't agree with, obviously.

Good grief - I have no idea what subjects they might be, but we can't have children growing up capable of thinking for themselves! Oh my word no. They have to know only as "taught", to think only as and when told, to hold only approved beliefs and opinions, to analyse nothing, to concede nothing, to accept only approved categories of people and reject the rest... to have no minds of their own.

Why? 'Cos God says so.

@ArishMell I taught at a christian school, where kids came because they had been violent in public schools and been kicked out. It was a wonderful place with loving teachers that taught a Bible lesson daily, and chapel on fridays and televised christmas programs and music lessons. The kids tested 2 or 3 years ahead of the public schools in math and every subject. I had to take an oath that I would not have sex being unmarried or be seen on the town after dark, I would not wear tight clothing, I would act with the highest christian virtues or let go. The kids were so wonderful. We never had any discipline or punishment because it was such an enriching loving environment.

@Carazaa That's very heartening that you were able to help these children, despite the petty clowns running the place.

As employment conditions, go those restrictions on your private life stink. They were ridiculous, intrusive and designed to please the school's governors (all mysoginist little men?), not God.

Reasonable dress in class, yes; but who the hell were they to dictate your clothes away from school, or when you will or will not go out? What if friends invited you round for the evening, or out for a meal or a drink or something, or you wanted to go to the cinema (or did they ban that too?). Your love-life was none of their damn' business; and unless you became pregnant, they'd not have known anyway.

Christian? You yes; them and their silly rules, no.

@SatanBurger
Give me an example of homosexuality being a benefit to human evolution? How? In what way? If you say something like population control, you need to understand that is basically saying that homosexuality is a virus or a disease, or a mutation...mutations are never beneficial. Biological imperatives are what keep us going, we don't evolve to cull ourselves. To claim that as a "benefit" is more of a left wing ideological claim than a scientific one.

@SamInAZ Okay will do below but again you should know that scientists only refer to human sexuality in hypothesis of how they think certain things evolved including heterosexuality. Just like when you claimed "there are no gay genes" but there's "no one straight gene" either, to which I gave you a link as to why explained by scientists and researchers.

What you're doing is using biological imperative as a "means to an end," to "encompass literally everything," to really oversimplify such a thing to what scientists don't even know, is you either misusing on purpose or you literally don't understand and you can only simplify down to "one" mechanism by which a species survives.

As I said, where does this leave heterosexual people who don't want or can't have kids.

[quote]In many prosocial mammals sex has adopted new social functions in contexts of [b]social bonding, social reinforcement, appeasement, and play[/b]. We argue that for humans the social functions and benefits of sex apply to same-sex sexual behavior as well as heterosexual behavior.[/quote]

[quote]Assessing SSSA in non-human animals is not easy, but what is clear is that homosexual behavior is not a human innovation. It is widespread in primates (Sommer and Vasey, 2006) and other animals (Bagemihl, 1999; Bailey and Zuk, 2009), and is certainly ancestral to hominids. Analyses of the contexts of occurrence of homosexual sexual behavior in primate societies [b]suggest the behavior has various diverse functions. These include appeasement, pacification, reinforcement of social dominance structures, juvenile play, social tolerance, stress reduction, and barter (Sommer and Vasey, 2006; Clay and de Waal, 2015). Heterosexual sexual behavior shows a similar diversity of expression across primate societies (Sommer and Vasey, 2006). It appears there has been an expansion of the social functions of sexual interactions (both homosexual and heterosexual) as more complex societies evolved in primates (Werner, 2006). As a consequence, sexual behavior in primates has been subject to selection for adaptive social functions as well as the obvious reproductive functions.[/b]

Social evolutionary processes have been a major driver of recent human cognition and behavior (Eisenberg et al., 1983; Dos Santos and West, 2005); particularly selection for increased intra-group tolerance and reduced intra-group aggression (Bowles and Gintis, 2013; Hare, 2017). [b][c=BF0000]Prosocial individuals would have more readily accessed the fitness benefits of cooperative group living (Hare, 2017), and would have gained both greater reproductive success and social mobility[/c][/b] (Bowles and Gintis, 2013). Enhanced tolerance also would allow for smoother integration of juveniles that moved from their natal group to a new group – bringing new ideas and technology with them. Selection for prosociality is thought to have driven the recent evolution of bonobos from their chimp-like ancestor, and proto-dogs from their wolf-like ancestor also[/quote]

@SamInAZ Edward O. Wilson addressed this in his classic work [i]Sociobiology[/i]. In early human societies, gay members may have been more willing to take risks on behalf of the community, since they didn't have biological children they were responsible for. Genetically, if a man has no children, but his brother has four kids, that amounts to the same thing since on average he shares 50% of his genes with his brother, so the brother's kids share 25% of his genes. He doesn't need kids of his own to reproduce indirectly.

Homosexuality is also a meta-characteristic. It's observed that a man is more likely to be gay if he has an older brother. This trait may have evolved to prevent brothers from competing for the same woman.

Of course, none of this will make sense to a bigoted piece of shit like you, who hates and fears gay men because you're terrified that you might be one of them.

@Carazaa You're pathetic

@NativePortlander1970 These schools have been fined. And You are reported for abusive speech. I care about kids that's why I am posting this. Some parents are in lawsuits because schools went against the parents wishes to not be in any sexual ed, but the schools did not listen. Now they have to pay fines.

@Carazaa not in every country and not in every faith.

And these clubs are non-curricular and often run and maintained by students. If it is a public school they are allowed to do so. A parent can ask their child not to go if they so wish but they can not stop such a club from existing.

@NativePortlander1970 I love all people. Don't despise people, we are to love people.

@Bladey He blocked me after I turned him in!

@Bladey Is it the fancy dress you object to, or children being exposed to books? 🤔

@SamInAZ You are just going to have to live with it. Straightness will soon be outlawed and forced gender reassignment for all.

I bet you want this guy to sit on your lap -

@SatanBurger
I think we need to focus our spiritual energies based on the teachings of @ProphetOfFarblesnozz

@CestManan Agreed 👍

@SatanBurger First time I heard the word "armed" was when I was a kid, I thought it had something to do with large biceps.

@CestManan I could see that, I would too lol

@SatanBurger yeah it was in an episode of an old show called Night Rider, this guy's car could talk.

In one episode his car warns him about some guy in a room being armed. My 8 year old brain was thinking, "I hope Micheal doesn't get beat up!" (Micheal was the car's owner)

@basilfawlty89 I couldn't ever say someone was a BNP member unless they told me- then I'd definitely avoid them.

You'd actually be pretty surprised if you did have a beer about how agreeable some of my views are but we'd probably talk more engaging topics than politics.

@basilfawlty89 Yeah there is nothing admirable or quaint about “I’d be friends with a fascist”.

@GLITTER I am afraid I can't. I have too many fantasies myself.

@Bladey I don’t really think you have room to talk about this subject then

@GLITTER Aww bummer.

@SamInAZ [quote]However, Blair warned it was difficult to interpret the finding at this stage.

“It is difficult to specifically state what this means. It could mean that participants found the images of male same-sex couples kissing to be equally disgusting as the disgusting images. It could mean that they had an anxiety response to the male couples kissing and a disgust response to the disgusting images, but that physiologically, we could not tell the difference between these two emotions.”[/quote]
[quote]Previous research has found a strong link between sexual prejudice and the emotion of disgust. For instance, a 2008 study found that individuals who are more easily disgusted are also more likely to make unfavorable moral judgments about gay people.[/quote]

So basically, if you're a homophobic bigot, you're going to be disgusted by gay PDA. No surprise there.

Here's the study showing how homophobic bigots like you are closeted homosexuals.

[c=003BB2]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8772014/[/c]

[quote]The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. [b]Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli.[/b][/quote]

@SamInAZ aww babe *kisses*

@Ryannnnnn

@BritishFailedAesthetic when did "the career market" come up?

@ServantOfTheGoddess Read what you wrote.

@BritishFailedAesthetic I know what I wrote. Did you read it?

@LeopoldBloom so much hatred out gets applied retroactively 😅

@LeopoldBloom Yes it has! Jesus is the creator! God's people have always been persecuted!

@Carazaa Christianity only began when Jesus got followers and was crucified. You're confusing Judaism with Christianity.

@SunshineGirl I don’t want my kid playing with any queens! 😆🙄

@Harmonium1923 Congress needs to pass a law that queens are not allowed on chess boards!
And that king, they need to make sure he was male at birth and not trying to sneak into the wrong restroom! 😄

Even chess has an agenda!

@nonsensiclesnail 12 years ago, LGBT acceptance was on the incline. Things were going well then things just went to crap after "that man" took office.
I do not want to say his name cause it would feel like I were cussing. 😁

@CestManan His name ruined a perfectly acceptable word.

@nonsensiclesnail Ya know, that is true. (shudders)

@Carazaa what does the pledge of allegiance have to do with religion? I'd rather my kid not be exposed to jingoism.

@basilfawlty89 It's now effectively a prayer since they added "under God" in the 1950s.

@Carazaa Guess what, the first amendment forbids prayer in schools, or anything else religious.

@Matt85 Prayer for which religion? By the time they go through the Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Shinto, Hindu, Taoist, and 5000 varieties of Christian prayer, there won't be time for anything else.

Oh, I forgot pagan.

@Matt85 I wholly agree with Leopold. If we're in a secular or pluralistic society, why do I not have special time to recite the yasnas?

@Magenta Me too 🙏

@ArishMell Schools here in Canada do have "gay-straight alliance" clubs.

@ServantOfTheGoddess Oh, I see. Thankyou. I take it they aim to help people accept each other as, well, people?

@ArishMell yes exactly :)

@walabby Religion is not good for anyone's mental health, whether they are LGBT or some bigot.
Of course the bigots are usually religious only in the sense that they hide behind some "God" to justify their hate.

@walabby Very sad, but also true.
I've spoken with both gays and lesbians who were raised to believe it was a sin - and the trouble they've had trying to resolve their innate orientation with their beliefs has often been tragic.
The most successful were those who changed their way of believing,
by coming to believe in an unconditionally loving God who could not possibly condemn anyone for loving differently, because love is that which nurtures the well-being of life regardless of who or what one loves.

@hartfire Some of these people went the other way and become atheists. They totally rejected religion and are now happy...

@BritishFailedAesthetic so does "commie" by the far-right. Everyone left of Pinochet isn't a communist.

@basilfawlty89 Yep, you're right.

@BritishFailedAesthetic If I had any remaining doubts about my sexuality, paticipating in team sport at school pushed me decisively into the rainbow camp! 🌈

@Carazaa And who is the judge of whether being of a homosexual nature is sinful or not? You?

@Carazaa Homophobic or accepting, it should not be for parents to control school curricula and syllabi anyway, not to bar their children from any subject; beyond being sure of good educational and welfare standards.

For allowing that would encourage the tyranny of parents, hopefully a tiny minority, who do not understand the point of education; and do not understand that their offspring are individuals not clones, and are people not possessions.

Are people who will leave school with decades of their own lives ahead in a very complicated but vibrantly mixed society.

Perhaps such parents should have thought very deeply about choosing to breed in the first place, if they are that inhumane.

@CorvusBlackthorne Only Judy can judge me.

@ninalanyon The etymology in English for its sexuality use probably was that "non-conforming", more than "odd"; given the English trait of celebrating the qualities of individuality and eccentricity which even though innocent, seem to frighten other cultures.

It is a pity when innocent little words like "queer" and "gay" become high-jacked to be given sexual meanings so people are afraid to use them in their real senses.

@ArishMell It is a pity that it was necessary to do so in order for members of the homosexual community to not be harassed and assaulted by those who could not let them be.

@CorvusBlackthorne Such slang made the problem worse by being used, even coined, as abuse.

A common homophobic British sneer, among many others, was to describe someone not just as "queer" but, "as queer as a nine-bob note". (In our pre-decimal currency, a "bob" was slang for a shilling, and the smallest banknote was the ten-shilling one.)

Homosexuals in London used to have a very strange argot I think called "Polari", but I don't suppose it hid their sexuality from everyone who happened to overhear it; in the days when anything not rigidly heterosexual was feared and despised.

In the 1960s the BBC Radio sketch-comedy [i]Round The Horne[/i] always featured a skit based on two shop-keepers who were partners in more than the business sense, played by Kenneth Williams and Hugh Paddick. The comedian Kenneth Horne, the shows' anchor, played "straight man" in both senses to the duo, whose speech was full of this weird slang. Many years later, when safe to do so, it was revealed as genuine Polari, though played for laughs in the show.

@Carazaa [quote] Christians are bullied in their own families.[/quote]

It is because people do not want the gospel to be preached to them or hear about how god doesn't approve of their lifestyle.

Like how some people just do not want to be around LGBT, Some people feel the same about christians.

@Carazaa I wouldn't want my kid indoctrinated with Protestant rubbish, but you don't see me protesting school bible clubs.

@basilfawlty89 I remember being in some religious ed BS in elementary school.
We were told something about how God didn't like us listening to rock music. Well, THAT did not sit well with me. Especially because my favorite song at the time was "Heaven's on fire" by KISS.
I had no clue back then what it was about but I still liked it.

@NoThanksLeon OK well hopefully they aren't as violent as their hate speech!

@Carazaa I don't believe they are individually, but as a group I think they are.

@NoThanksLeon Scary!

@BohemianBoo republicans freak out over ANY word that starts with "trans".

transportation, trans-Atlantic, transistor, ANY word... and they start flopping around like fish out of water screaming that we need more anti-trans legislation.

The latest 4,673 bills would prevent people from performing bodily functions even in the restrooms of their own homes. They want people to build an out house for each member of the family.

Republicans are nucking FUTS!

@AthrillatheHunt [quote]I was in dungeons and dragons club in jr high[/quote]

That's even gayer.

@BohemianBoo TY for keeping that definition of the word alive. Lol

@Bladey lmfao
Says the guy with just his skid marked pants on 😅😅😅😭😭😭

@Carazaa he just said he was a proud bigot. You’re okay with that?

@iamonfire696 Churchey people are okay with nearly anything as long as someone is doing it in the name of god.

@CestManan That is correct

@Japrost No one wants to hear about what you wish to suck. 🙄
