I wonder why Posie is sharing this story about allegedly homophobic Christians?

[antifa]

She's posted it without comment, but I can only assume it's because she approves of the removal of the app. After all the story has no mention of transgenderism, the concern is that the app implied that being gay is a 'sickness' and a 'sin'. The original petition against the app (there's a link in the story) also only talks about gay people, absolutely nothing about transgenderism.

Whoever they are - NZ traveller or someone else - MNHQ is extending courtesies to them that are denied to other posters.

Thanks for the heads up on Posie OP. Never heard of her before, just found her on Facebook and she's awesome, totally fierce! Thanks for pointing me her way 😊

Lying's not your forte

I can only assume antifa has been shown the door? Or why the dump and run...?

Sorry I know this thread has moved on a bit but I feel a bit sorry for funkyfunkybeat12 !

I totally get what you mean, no idea why you've been targeted.
Just the other day in AIBU there was a mum who's 7 year old was bought Valentines day flowers "by" a 9 year old boy (the mum of) because the mum viewed the children's relationship that way. OP was rightly freaked.

It comes up all the time, parents viewing pre-pubescent children as "flirting with" or "being girlfriend boyfiends" just look in AIBU more!

I agree that homosexual relationships are seen as something to hold back from children, while Disney, CBeebies, etc have no problem portraying het relationships from a very early age. Not saying that's wrong as obviously het sex is where we all came from, but homo love is also perfectly normal and shouldn't be taboo.

Didn't Forte's become holiday Inns?

Every time you post about Posie you draw attention to her awesome antics to show just how insane things have got.

Are you sure you aren't Posie herself?

Keep up the good work whoever you are.

I know you are partial to a good glug so chin chin Posie.

Haaaa cross post with antifa there, why hello.

I was just about to bump this.

Forte got bought by Granada who continue with the Hotel business.

Ah, that explains why they aren't about anymore.

I wonder why crows round my way always seem to have a domestic at 4.30am.

No idea, but they turn up on my roof for a tap dancing session at about dawn.

Nah, mate. Zumba.

Funkyfunkybeat12 was expressing dismissive incredulity at any one who had not experienced what she claims to be widespread. She was basically accusing those of us who had not encountered this of lying.

Her use of language like heterosexuality being foisted on children hardly shows an open mind. Most children will still be born into a family where the parents are heterosexual. That isn't "foisting" anything on anyone. My son was aware from as long as he was able to take cognisance of his parents' friends that we had male friends who had male partners and female friends who had female partners.

Marguerita that isn't true at all. I said that the parents protesting were hypocrites and explained why I thought that. I said nothing about being brought up by heterosexual parents amounted to heterosexuality being foisted on kids. My issue is not about kids being brought up by het parents (obviously), but the fact that learning about same-sex relationships is seen to be potentially harmful and unsuitable for children at primary school. The leaflets handed out complain about homosexuality being treated as normal. It is normal.

I said nothing about being brought up by heterosexual parents amounted to heterosexuality being foisted on kids.

You said kids have hetrosexuality foisted on them before they can even talk, like people joking around their 6 month olds getting married.

Surely you can see how we thought you said it, when you've said it.

I am pleased for your son. I am obviously older than him, but my parents had no gay friends. I didn't know any gay people at all. I was told that being gay was disgusting throughout my childhood. When I was 15, I thought I might be gay and remember thinking 'oh shit, my life is going to be so difficult'. I always get asked if I have a boyfriend or a husband. For me, being taught about same-sex relationships at school would have made a big difference. I still struggle with confidence now and feeling that I have let people down. Although you might have a diverse circle of friends, so many people don't and their kids are not exposed to that from a young age.

^It will always make me think 'You're my wife now, Dave', thanks to Antifa and Ministry.
I used to love you, Dave. I mean Ministry.^

Honestly, that Ministry video, it’s one of those things where I can’t tell if it’s satire.

You said kids have hetrosexuality foisted on them before they can even talk, like people joking around their 6 month olds getting married.

Yes, I was talking about the jokes and the assumptions of heterosexuality, not the fact that they are being brought up by heterosexual parents. As I am sure you know.

How old are your children Funky?

Why do you have to be older to learn about gay relationships when heterosexual relationships are foisted on children before they can talk and nobody raises an eyebrow?

This is your exact words. And you were extremely dismissive of anyone whose experiences didn't match yours. (I know you are not the poster antifa but like antifa you share the intolerance of the left) I've never come across any parents talking in the way you claim is standard.

I don't have any children. Many of my friends do though.

Yes, I was talking about the jokes and the assumptions of heterosexuality, not the fact that they are being brought up by heterosexual parents. As I am sure you know

We clearly move in different circles. I have never encountered a parent behaving like this.

Marguerita I was talking about the jokes, the WAG in training babygro, the TV programmes, the princess/bride culture for little girls. I was pointing out that this is tolerated while same-sex relationships are seen as harmful and needing of an age-limit.

We clearly move in different circles. I have never encountered a parent behaving like this.

And you're doing it again. Well, some of the children at school may have encountered it, mightn't they? Even if you haven't. And it might actually be beneficial for them to see that actually if they are a girl, they can grow up and marry a girl and that is fine and just as normal as marrying a boy.

As I am sure you know.

No, actually and truthfully the way you put this across wasn't very clear.

I don't have any children. Many of my friends do though.

Did you realise kids shows now days have gay characters?
From superhero shows right down to cartoons like Steven Universe.

There gay characters in Disney. There are gay characters in Dr. Who.

I have no experience of these jokes you keep referring to and detest all clothes with slogans or messages on them.
