You think that the statement “what LGBTQ+ says about x” is a comment that is possible to make sense?

“LGBTQ+” is not an organization. It’s not a religion or a creed. It doesn’t “say” anything - and, in fact, isn’t even an “it” in the context you’re using!

It’s a term for a group of people that have nothing to do with each other, other than some shared traits. In your comment, replace “LGBTQ+” with another word for a group of unrelated humans. “Blondes,” maybe, or “women,” “men,” “dark skinned folk,” “humans,” etc. You can’t put something like “Americans” or “Christians” in that sentence, because those are too specific.

Can you see the problem now?

Is it fair to post a video of some random dude saying something stupid, and then say, “I have proof that men believe X”?

No, because “men” don’t share a creed.

LGBTQ folk also don’t share a creed. We’re just people.

And I absolutely believe you’d hear some folks joking around about “coming for their children.” A friend of mine jokes about the gay agenda all the time. Her gay agenda is “going to the grocery store to get milk.” But someone could get a clip of her saying that she’s got a gay agenda, easily.

And thing is, even if that video happened to be about some folks who weren’t joking - it doesn’t mean anything! Just because someone found some random assholes at pride doesn’t mean that everyone who’s LGBTQ+ has an agenda.

I’m probably wasting my time, I know, but I figured I’d put it out there just in case you are honestly misunderstanding the situation. Here’s hoping.

And remember, it only takes one passing “gay agenda” joke to paint every noncis/nothet person on the planet as a p@do, but somebody CAN’T be a Nazi unless they handwrite mein kampf in triplicate with an addendum about how handsome Hitler is then get it notarized in Germany.

I strongly suspect if he ever responded with a source it would involve a carefully trimmed clip from that SF gay men’s chorus piece that caused a stir a while back, found a link for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArOQF4kadHA

An entire piece built around the lines “we’ll convert your children” and “we’re coming for your children” that’s pretty prone to having unfortunate clips cut from it to scare right wingers.

Except in that case you can’t exclude anyone from “the LGBTQ+ community” provided they are not straight or not cis. See people talking about Milo Yian-etc back in 2014-2020, or people’s reaction to radqueer shit.

To be clear, it is not a person claiming that this is the agenda. Rather it is members of the LGBTQ+ community, in their own words, making the statement. One video is a song by a group of gay men, the other is a chant by a group of men and women. Directly from their mouths, no way to take it out of context.

These were two videos shown in multiple Mosques around the SE Michigan region, this is how I learned about it.

what LGBTQ+ says about children

Is this where you link to a string of grainy deep fried anonymous Twitter/Reddit ForwardsFromGrandma posts about a D-List celebrity from the 1970s singing “I’m going to fuck the straight out of you” in a thrash metal music video?

No… lmao wat. One was a group of men singing about grooming our children. The other is during a pride parade, where the group walking through I believe is a park is chanting about how they’re coming for our children.

That’s suitably vague, poorly sourced, and sinister sounding to make me clutch my pearls in panic.

Have you considered submitting your lived experience to the Daily Wire or perhaps your local conservative state legislator?

LGBT+ people are people. That means they run the full gamut that you see in people who aren’t LGBT+. The difference is in sexuality and/or gender. Gay people like men, bi people like both, lesbians like women, trans people have a gender and biological sex that don’t line up. Other than that, they value and dislike similar things to everyone else.

They feel similarly about children as anyone else. That’s not to say that every one of them feels the exact same way about it, but that a similar portion of them are protective, nurturing, neutral, avoidant, or predatory towards children as is the general public.

They also use humour to ridicule the absurd, which would apply to the idea that LGBT+ people have a collective agenda when it comes to kids (or anything that isn’t reducing dangers to and increasing acceptance of people who are like them or otherwise marginalized for their sexuality or gender, though even that doesn’t apply universally).

You’re getting a negative response to your comments because the conclusion you draw from them doesn’t make logical sense. The most that they could show is that the group of individuals shown in the video has intents like that. My first guess, based on your description, is that they are trolling people who believe in the gay agenda. Second guess would be it’s actually people who hate gays pretending to be them to say this and get more people to hate them. Third guess would be that some LGBT+ pedophiles were emboldened by their own mistaken ideas of what pride is and thought they could be open about something that should get some eyes on them.

Other then LGBTQ+ not being a monolith? You can find any crazy opinion online. Difference is, one group is large enough to push to have the ten commandants hung in public school classrooms and the other is a fringe of a minority.

LGBTQ+ has their flags brought into educational institutions all across the U.S.

So? Not equivalent. There are deodorant ads also hung in the gyms of many schools. Do you feel threatened by the periodic table of elements or the multiplication table?

Pride flags are just to make lgbt kids feel welcome. If a cis student feels threaten by a pride flag, they have other issues.
