I wonder if any of them understand (or care, if they do) that they're effectively confirming what every staunch opponent of gay rights loudly claimed would be the end result of passing gay rights into law.

I was thinking about this, within the context of the song by the SF Gay Men’s Choir, and several ideas come to mind and none of them are that they’re actual paedophiles.

  1. They are singing/chanting because they enjoy winding up those who are suspicious of them. They’ve given up making an effort at compromise and now they’re just laughing at anyone who gets upset - seems foolish to me and I’m sure it makes gay people in less safe environments nervous.

  2. They’re pulling a power play. They’re demonstrating that they can pretty much say (and possibly, do) anything and the media, if it even bothers to report it, will back them.

  3. They’re mistaken, they thought that we had all agreed that jokes about other people’s children are funny - and don’t realise that saying that to most parents could result in your needing dentures for the rest of your life.

  4. Similar to 2. they think they’re untouchable and can say anything they like and get away with it because they’re either protected or no one would dare do anything (refer to 3.).

  5. They are massive, massive cunts.

  6. They are used to their echo chambers online and offline and have no idea what the world is like for the vast majority of people. They are so self-absorbed that they think that their existence is of concern to everyone and attention is what they crave.

It may be a combination of those, but probably #3 the most. A decade ago when same sex marriage was the big thing and public opinion was well past the idea that gay men were pedophiles, this song could have been easily be understood as mocking people who still believed it. Now though, hoo boy. It's remarkable how fast the gender cult brought us back to a place where this doesn't sound like a joke anymore.

Yeah. I agree it's very unlikely the vast majority are actual pedophiles (there are pedophiles who will take this as a carte blanche that it's fine to pursue children though).

Overall, I think they're retarded, but this is what I think of basically anyone who goes to rallies. Someone somewhere introduced this chant probably because they thought it was funny. Or maybe they are expert trolls, regardless nobody is smart enough to sit back and realize that it totally harms their movement.

Though while I'm generally supportive of gay people who want to get married themselves (it's not like we should legislate cohabitation anyway). I've long held that the movement has kind of blundered forward with a dangerous abandon that will create backlash. Like with the wedding cake lawsuits and what not. Or with the courts forcing red states to perform gay marriages.

Thing is whenever this sort of thing happens it makes people resentful. And that's not what you want. And the longer the activist nonsense goes on the worse the backlash will become.
