Mini pride....Is it going too far?

i think the poster was talking about how our society’s completely fucked up sexualising of young girls is driven by patriarchy and profit, not by mini pride events. I think they are right.

I really wish it were true that it was just a way of showing support for LGB families but sadly the TQ plus side of things has done so much harm to young autistic kids who don’t feel like they belong and so they opt out of their sex and adopt a trans identity. They’re accepted into Glitter families and encouraged to alienate from their own loving families if their parents don’t affirm. . You can guess which family is going to be there to pick up the pieces 10 years down the line. In all likelihood this is a form of youth culture but the great scandal of today is that it has been medicalised. I honestly think they would not be as much division around this subject if people took the time to research rapid onset gender dysphoria and it’s treatment. Any form of psychotherapy is considered conversion therapy even though conversion therapy is against the law in this country.

Hillary Cass did a very thorough review of the research but sadly the Media and many institutions and charities still have not caught up.

Just because LGB has been wiped off the internet or TRA are busy photoshopping old march photos does not make rebranding myth true.

The wiki pages giving T all the action verbs at Stonewall are a great example of how propaganda works.

Jesus

Er, no.

The T was added when same sex marriage was achieved and Stonewall needed to carry on getting income in. Which is why so many of the original Stonewall founders had to set up their own LGB Alliance many years later after Stonewall trashed their history and reputation by calling lesbians 'sexual racists' (and the rest). They hired a man to give training in how other men could get past the 'Cotton Ceiling'...aka lesbians' knickers.

Crop tops aren't telling children that they can change sex.
Lush, the shop, sent out binders for girls, even though it's known they are damaging.

Yep lots of stupid parents buying sexualised products helps drive a market which in turn normalises the idea of childern being mini adults which means more product is provided.
😕

Many, many gay and lesbian people are not happy about the homophobic T, and want rid of it.
The Pride events popping up all over are all about the T abd often aimed at children.

A family pride event sounds like a good idea. I wouldn't want to take kids to a regular pride event as I don't think they need "educating" about male kinks and fetishes.

I’m sick of all the pride events as well, I used to love pride but they aren’t much to do with gay people anymore. I’m a lesbian and feel like the acceptance of gay people is actually going down.

What are you talking about?

The T bit was added after the stonewall riots decades ago because trans people played an important part in gaining rights for LGBT people. However now, unfortunately the LGBT acronym has been hijacked by trans rights activists and gender ideology idiots and they have clouded the meaning of it. Being LGB and being trans or believing you a different gender identity to your sex have got nothing to do with each other. Sadly many straight people with little knowledge or experience of the LGBT community now lump them all in together and imo it’s increasing homophobia and a lack of understanding about what it means to be LGB

Yeah let’s, not turn everything into a T debate.

😆😆

Sure, we have crop tops and bralets for 5 year old girls in the shops but it’s mini pride that’s sexualising children.

@WhatShoes4me What do you mean by “going to far”? Don’t like the idea of them “rubbing it in your face”? Worried your child might see a lesbian couple holding hands? 😮 your post comes across as homophobic. As a same sex family, we don’t get many events specifically for us - pride has been taken over by TRAs and gender ideology fuck wits and is no longer a suitable place for children. I think it’s a great idea for children of same sex families to celebrate where they come from. Diversity should be celebrated. Literally everything is geared towards heteronormative people - festivals, family events, tv shows, books. It’s annoying that my kids don’t often get to see a representation of their own family. You need to check your privilege and be grateful for the huge variety of activities and events that represent you and be mindful that not everyone can relate to that representation. This is why these events are important

Why are there no days for people into fetish - dressing up as a baby - swinging - scat etc

I think all that comes under the TQ+ bit.

Yup, you’d love to be “right”, wouldn’t you op? 🙄

That’s not a valid comparison but you already know that. You’re just trying to shoehorn the idea that being in a same sex relationship is a fetish. Hope you’re happy with your wee self.

Again this always pops up in threads like this
Its sad to be equating it with a fetish

There's an assumption that you only know people are gay because they are doing some horrendous pda in public, or because they are shouting about it.

In most offices you are aware of who is married, who has children. I could hazard a guess at the home set up at all of my children's class because of seeing family at the gates and school events.

Hetro couples exist loudly all around us and are easily identifiable. People just tune them out but notice when people do the same thing. If you are out you recognise families, couples etc all around you

In a recent holiday to a country that was uncomfortable for us (despite research!) There were multiple inane things that "outed" us and caused uncomfortable interactions from staff this included

• our kids loudly referring to us both as mum in the pool. Multiple incidents of kids calling us mums actually
• mentioning paying from a joint account in a restaurant
• someone asking where my husband was (clocking wedding ring) to be friendly

-checking into an activity with the same last names
-booking into the hotel and bed set up being questioned (and subsequently cleaning staff)

We were constantly aware not to sit too close, and do inane couple things eg rub suncream in, push your hair out your eyes. We were watching fireworks and naturally snuggled in and had to seperate
We don't want to bump and grind on the sunbeds.

Even without the normal couple stuff of holding hands or a peck on the cheek etc there are ways that couples interact where you sense there closeness

These are all things noticeable but just seen as completely the norm for a hetro couple. There's no examination of it, no risk from it.

Inevitably this conversation always ends up with people insisting they are never within 3 foot of their husband in public, and interact in a way more akin to business associates at all times

Again it's wonderful if you treat all couples as completely equal but the world, and the uk isn't at a place where this is the norm

Take two male parents. Do you genuinely think theres not a single place where they couldnt interact as a couple as a hetro person does? Do you genuinely think all their school friends and their parents hold zero form of reservation or views about it? If you had a gay son would there be places where you'd suggest he doesn't mention his husband where your daughter could mention hers?

Erm maybe because the things you mention actually are part of your private life and done in the privacy of a bedroom and not out in the open for people to comment and pass judgement on

Same sex couples however, would like to hold hands in public, they would like to raise their children, and they would like to get married, all without public debate, opinion and judgement, which they are subjected to all the time.

Apples and oranges.

See I gave you the benefit of the doubt until this post.

You said you've learned from starting this thread but now you seem to be drumming up others to come and argue against it?

I do not get the obsession with people telling the world about their private lives.
Why are there no days for people into fetish - dressing up as a baby - swinging - scat etc
I am into one of the above but I do not need anyone else's approval or support
Personally I cannot care less what people do in their private lives it is of no interest to me

You haven't really specified what exactly this event is offering.

Advice around their own sexuality?
Information for parents?
Support for families with same sex parents?
Education for all about diversity?
Design your own rainbow flag?
Identify the flavour of this lube?

What exactly is it? Then we can decide if it's appropriate or necessary, surely?

Same sex family recognition- yes.
Same way there can be single-parent parent family tickets and support for disabled visitors.

Not the other alphabet parts, as that is not supportive and goes against L, G and B having choices based on sexual preferences and is based on make-believe born in the wrong body nonsense.
