The framing of this as some kind of big conspiracy with 'the gays' trying to convert children is pure bs.

For me, the biggest absurdity is that nowadays the LGB is unfortunately always paired with the TQ+ crap...and they ARE trying to fuck ( with ) kids. That's the thing. Trans-kids, MAPs, there's a disturbing rise of pro-pedo narrative bandying around the internet and the alphabet people and something like this, regardless of the tongue-in-cheek nature, had no chance not to implode and catch everyone in the blast radius regardless of their connections to it.

It's like they woke up and said 'how can we shit all over the last few decades of LGB acceptance today?'
If their intent was to mock the "we're coming for your kids" bit then they failed spectacularly. They only reinforced it.
