Sex Education, Then and Now

Marriageable ages vary around the country. Many are surprisingly low, though probably not as low as 12. However, marriage is a choice.

Kids don’t have to be rounded up. The drag queens are visiting schools. Also, indoctrinating kids is just asking for “oppression”.

Some are fleeing instability. Many are here to make money. That doesn’t mean we have to accept them.

It seems you missed my point. US policy created them. You benefit from those policies, they suffer.

Ridiculous. It’s a straight world and always will be. If it weren’t, we would’ve died out long ago. Heterosexuality is the essence of life itself.

And Islam is an entirely different thing which has nothing to do with LBGT indoctrination.

Did you read those articles? Nothing in there showing porn or oppression. You are stuck the idea that anything LGBTQ is wrong, but you can’t say how it’s wrong.

There is no evidence that homosexuality will increase beyond the low percentage it’s currently at. There ls no risk of us going extinct due to it.

True enough, although that isn’t what I meant.

Nor is there any chance of natural biological processes no longer producing ~1% rainbow genetics.

It is what it is, same as it ever was.

Who said anything about porn? It’s about indoctrination.

No it isn’t. Heterosexual procreation is the result of evolutionary processes that selected for the most efficient form of procreation, yielding the greatest chance for survival by mingling 2 sets of genes.

But asexual procreation existed long before heterosexual procreation. All Prokaryotes reproduced asexually, long before the evolution of heterosexual reproduction.

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction from either unicellular or multicellular organisms inherit the full set of genes of their single parent and thus the newly created individual is genetically and physically similar to the parent or an exact clone of the parent. Asexual reproduction is the primary form of reproduction for single-celled organisms such as archaea and bacteria.

The Silvery Salamander reproduces asexually

Many eukaryotic organisms including plants, animals, and fungi can also reproduce asexually.[1] In vertebrates, the most common form of asexual reproduction is parthenogenesis, which is typically used as an alternative to sexual reproduction in times when reproductive opportunities are limited. Komodo dragons and some monitor lizards can also reproduce asexually.[2]

Some Organisms Transmit Genetic Material to Offspring without Cell Division

Given their asexual method of reproduction, it is tempting to think that bacteria are sorely lacking in genetic variation, but this is not the case. Prokaryotic cells have developed a number of methods for recombining their genetic material, which, in turn, contributes to their genetic diversity.

The three most common ways that bacteria diversify their DNA are transformation, conjugation, and transduction. However, not all types of bacterial cells are capable of engaging in all three processes.

DeSantis is scared and afraid of LGBTQ people and signed that bill out of prejudice. There is no ideology and that link doesn’t confirm it. It’s pure right wing Xian sharia indoctrination. I believe you are confusing who’s trying to indoctrinate who.

Maybe, but gay people have always been with us. People who prefer to dress differently have always been with us. None of this deviant. Different, but not deviant or even criminal.

You’ve said deviant, dysfunctional, and degenerate, without explaining how. Nothing in those articles is deviant. How can something that occurs naturally be forced on you?

Well, what did you mean? That’s what we’ve been trying to figure out for days. There have always been people on a spectrum of gender, sex, and sexuality, by every possible measure. What’s changed is, more people now believe it’s wrong to punish them for not conforming to a cultural definition.

Attacks on the transgender community

DAN RATHER AND ELLIOT KIRSCHNER

It’s worth saying out loud.

We are facing many threats and challenges to our nation’s prosperity and security. These include a belligerent China, the war in Ukraine, economic disruption, our global climate crisis, and even the specter of artificial intelligence, just to name a few.

These are the issues government should be debating and legislating.

And yet Republican statehouses and Fox News would have you believe our greatest threat is drag queen reading hour.

It’s meant to be a divisive distraction.
It’s lunacy, but it is also a dangerous injustice. And a tragedy.

You can tell a lot about a society by how it treats its most vulnerable, marginalized, and ostracized.

History is replete with the horrors inflicted by those who wielded the power of position and privilege against those who had little to none of either. Persecution has taken many forms — legal, cultural, economic, and social. It has led to unimaginable suffering, violence, and death — even reaching the scale of genocide.

About this, there are many lessons from the past to be heeded …

Oh and here’s a little something put together specifically for the Guy’s of this world:

So, who are the real pedophiles ?

Here’s an interesting relevant article, published

How a Campaign Against Transgender Rights Mobilized Conservatives

Defeated on same-sex marriage, the religious right went searching for an issue that would re-energize supporters and donors. The campaign that followed has stunned political leaders across the spectrum.

When the Supreme Court declared a constitutional right to same-sex marriage nearly eight years ago, social conservatives were set adrift.

The ruling stripped them of an issue they had used to galvanize rank-and-file supporters and big donors. And it left them searching for a cause that — like opposing gay marriage — would rally the base and raise the movement’s profile on the national stage.

“We knew we needed to find an issue that the candidates were comfortable talking about,” said Terry Schilling, the president of American Principles Project, a social conservative advocacy group. “And we threw everything at the wall.”

What has stuck, somewhat unexpectedly, is the issue of transgender identity, particularly among young people. Today, the effort to restrict transgender rights has supplanted same-sex marriage as an animating issue for social conservatives at a pace that has stunned political leaders across the spectrum. It has reinvigorated a network of conservative groups, increased fund-raising and set the agenda in school boards and state legislatures. …

The cynical disregard for anything but winning political turf battles.

Basically we are watching how a free society implodes.
It’ll be a really sad spectacle, when the consequences of global warming really starts disrupting life and profit making in this country. Now that we’ve learned we rather fight over bullshit than cooperate on tackling the serious existential realities that are steamrolling right as us, thanks to our complacency and all around disregard for anything that’s outside of our particular personal sphere.

Good point about asexual reproduction. A more accurate description then would be reproduction itself is the essence of life. It still doesn’t change the fact that gays are not in the reproductive game at all.

Anything outside of heterosexual relationships is deviant. Heterosexuality is simply physically, emotionally and socially more healthy than lgbt.

There are far more supporters of lbgt indoctrination in this country than supporters of 12 year olds getting married.

This is strictly opinion. You have nothing to back this up except popular opinion. By your standard, something rare is deviant. That puts a lot of nature into the deviant category.

Deviance is about standards and those change over time. They change because we learn about them, we stop fearing them, we realize they aren’t harmful. The feelings you have of not liking it are exactly the same as them not prefering your feelings. I don’t call someone who doesn’t like chocolate a deviant, even though I think it’s weird and they are missing the health benefits and they have to get a special dessert when everyone else is having chocolate cake.
