This is clearly meant to be facetious, but they did not account for how many people would take it literally. And now gay people have to pay the price for this fun little stunt.

It took way too long to reach this comment.

I think maybe 10 years ago we could poke fun at the idea that we had a secret agenda to indoctrinate children. It was a ludicrous accusation with no basis in reality. Things have changed significantly since then. Now we have major gay organizations supporting puberty blockers, drag queen story hour, Blue's Clues pride parade, drag kids, and teenage girls showing off their mastectomy scars on reddit.

We can't joke around about a sinister plot to convert straight kids anymore because now there's some truth to it. Straight kids actually are being indoctrinated into a weird gender religion that treats gay as a socially constructed lifestyle that anyone can self-id into.

If you think about it, it's kind of contradictory how these types take this shit of "we are going for your children" as evidence of a secret agenda.

Like, I believe a secret cabal to turn all children gay would know how to not reveal their evil plan to the world in a shitty YouTube video, but that's just me.

These organizations are just following the money.

Professional activists need a income source after all.

The ironic thing is how most people involved in said evil plan are straight as well.

People tend to forget that AGPs are straight men with a fetish, for some reason*.

*We know exactly why this is the case, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, shall we?

People also tend to conflate gay with gender woo woo, or people use gay as shorthand for 'sexual and gender minorities'. I used to have a friend who was getting into gender identity politics, and she used to tell her parents she was gay even though she was not really interested in anyone, simply because it was easier to explain. She said this to me, a lesbian, who had told her time and time again how much it bothers me that people use the wrong labels for their own convenience (bisexual women using lesbian, etc).
