This is depressing...

Homosexuals are not trying to convert kids, I just want kids to be able to freely explore their sexuality themselves at their own pace. I want straight not to be the assumed default sexuality. I don't want kids to chop off healthy body parts or pump themselves with drugs or demand we all lie to them about biology.

But lgbTQ+ do and are pushing for everything the homophobes said gay people wanted to do to kids and WORSE! And it sucks cus it's really just straight fetishists larping and normies think they are "so gay they became the opposite sex" and blame us for the weird shit other straight people do.

Thing is though some are. This is one of the issues, if all LGB's stood firm it would be a lot easier. Same with women and feminism, for every woman who is fighting against female erasure and wanting kids to grow up safely there's another who's cheering it on and transing their 3 year old.

Twas ever thus I suppose.

This is because, as with any social group, LGB people are not a monolith, but subjects with their own political beliefs.

The problem is that we are not afforded to be individuals, because any and each thing we do will be put in a microscope and politicized.

Case in point, the whole 'gays are pedos' shit is a shinning example of this. When straight people molest kids (yes, even same-sex kids), the issue is not framed as 'straight people are pedos', but as 'this person is a pedo'.

On the other hand, if a gay person molests a kid... I don't even need to say what happens, do I?
