They literally quoted Hitler in a big isolated box on top of one of their groups’ newsletters, and when there was a moment of silence for Holocaust victims at the town meeting following the incident, they coughed through it.

That’s pretty goddamn hateful.

You lost on 30 April 1945. And will lose again. Glad I could clear that up for you.

Cool how you conveniently ignored the first reply.

You’re not protecting children, you’re teaching them to be hateful toward gay people.

Literally nobody is trying to force your kids to be gay. You are trying to force them to be straight, though.

This trans book reading example is ridiculous. It was never something people had to do. Kids were never being randomly sat down to do it. It was an intentional thing that everybody agreed to, and was aware of ahead of time. Are you trying to tell other parents how to raise their kids? Because that’s what you’re doing. Why are you trying to control other people’s lives?

So I should have my ability to read castrated because you think some books aren’t appropriate? I was reading college level books in elementary school, if books were gated by “age appropriateness”, I would never have become a good reader, because books “my age” were crap. You have no right to dictate what someone else can or can’t read, even your own children. People are their own, you don’t own them.

Do you have kids in school? I do, and there is no indoctrination except the pledge of allegiance. If you object to what the school teaches, the remedy open to you is homeschooling, not trying to strong-arm the school down to the lowest common denominator.

And if you’ve ever had to do child sexual abuse/trafficking awareness training you would have learned that the risk to kids comes from people the adults trust. The preacher, the camp counselor, uncle. Not drag queens reading library books to families. That harms nobody. If you don’t want to attend, don’t.

Libraries, the ones my tax dollars support, should be free from religious control. Separation of church and state is constitutionally mandated. Again, if you object to this you have churches, church schools, and homeschooling, all of which are allowed. You are allowed your beliefs and biases, but not to push your restrictions on everyone else.

Moms for Liberty is a hate group. If the name has liberty or freedom in the name, it likely is a hate group.

I’ll bite. Where is your citation that hyper agressive LGBTQ parents are getting books from the library to push their agenda. And any citations for damage done to kids by men in drag reading books to third graders? These actions that Moms for liberty take have no data to back them up as being connected to protecting kids from what they say they are protecting them from. Now I will agree that doesn’t prove they are a hate group. That is always a matter of opinion anyway. But your counter argument about citations counters itself since you offer no citations either. And for everyone reading, go look up the movie PCU. It’s funny but also pretty accurate. Many people on both sides of the extremes are just causeheads.
