Anyone following @questionLGBTeducation on twitter?

Questioning LGBT education-British parent deeply concerned that LGBT in schools has gone way beyond "a book with 2 mums" and into indoctrination. Doing the useless media's job for them.

They post some interesting stuff-about how normalised kink is at Pride etc.

There's also some odd statements about how children "become" gay.

I don't follow but had a look at their account earlier as I saw that the username was trending. The hashtag revealed lots of people frothing about homophobia whilst entirely missing - or totally not addressing - any of the (apparently sensible - I didn't read too closely I must confess) points raised.

I also saw a lot of outrage directed at an american sleb who has passed me by, who has apparently had the temerity to say he doesn't think it's a good idea for parents to advocate transition for 3 year olds. Blood is being bayed for.

Standard day on twitter.

People are raising the issue of homophobia because the account is pre-emptively blocking anyone who identifies as gay or they think does. They’ve done it using a script.

It happened to my friend - he hadn’t even interacted with them.

Plus they tweet untrue and homophobic stuff.

Well, that was an interesting afternoon down twitterland. The DMs are

I first heard of it when so many people I follow on twitter said they were blocked by it. Had a quick skim - didn't like the tenor of it. Some of the best teachers I worked with were gay, so the anti-gay tenor seemed wrong and icky and misleading. Also intrusive stuff like tracking down gay teachers' social media photos and sharing them on twitter. A bit yuk.

That is not a good look.....didn't know that-perhaps with so many things, there are aspects I agree with and aspects I don't.

Nasty account. I put them in the same bin as the Tommy Robinson supporters who try to latch on to GC causes.

It is not an account I would personally follow. Made me uneasy and blocking people before interaction is poor, and shaming gay teachers, nope, appalling

Also intrusive stuff like tracking down gay teachers' social media photos and sharing them on twitter
I am not convinced that some of those photos would stand up to a school's SM guidelines, though.
Perhaps a PM to the teacher concerned would have been a better option.
