Don’t drop the T and this is what will happen.

But I’m going to be a small bit fair towards the T and acknowledge that we have our own problems. Drag queen story hour, degeneracy at pride parades, child drag queens and the fact that gay rights organisations have had ties to far-left ideologies are all factors in why many people in countries like Hungary, Poland and Russia are increasingly seeing our "community" as a threat. Nevertheless, dropping the T would still come a long way for our movement.

Also, just an FYI, but I’ started watching South Park when I was 11, even though it is rated 18 in my country. I wasn’t allowed to play 18+ games like Grand Theft Auto until I was 16, but when my older brother got Grand Theft Auto for his 16th birthday my parents realised it wasn’t so bad, but decided that I still had to wait until I was 16 before I could get my own game just to be fair to my brother. Kids in Hungary are still going to watching shows with gay characters from the age of 10 or even 8, they just can’t watch these shows on Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon. And the law can’t stop parents from explaining to their kids why their uncle lives with another man. But I just don’t get how the presence of a gay character in a tv program is going to corrupt a 16 year old or even a 13 year old. And what happens if a secondary school student gets found out at school that he’s gay? How are the teachers going to help him? Yes, you can teach a teenager how to stand up for himself and sign him up for martial arts classes, and teach him how to handle banter. But what if the teenager feels that society hates him for being gay? What is the school psychologist supposed to do? Would they still be allowed to assure the child that his orientation is just a part of him? Would the school still be allowed to tell the other students to give the gay teenager a break? Would the school still be allowed to make sure that the teenager is safe? Those are my main concerns. I’m all for banning propaganda aimed at teenagers to turn them woke, but some people realise that they are gay as young as 13, and I don’t want these kids to suffer.

On the other hand, I like that Hungary is now banning the discussion of sex changes in schools and children’s media. That is a law I can definitely get behind.

Gender ideology has not helped us at all.

It really hasn’t.
