You're the sick puppy who would force other parents to raise their kids as you see fit, OK not sick puppy, more like authoritarian douchebag forcing your morals onto others.

Parents don't own their kids (arguably kids might own their parents).
Their right to receive a decent education trumps your right to be a bigot.

I do know that the intolerance cones from those who are scared that their children will find out that gay people are real nothing to be afraid of.
Fortunately in the majority of cases they will and leave the prejudices of their parents behind.
You are blinded by intolerance.
You ass-u-me that just because I don't want 'The State' indoctrinating my kids (teaching anything beyond what they are supposed to be teaching - reading, writing, arithmetic), that I am anti-gay. I am not.
I am, however, 100% against opening the door to The State being able to decide what is best for my children.
Take your radical, State Worshiping beliefs elsewhere, please, our country, the land of the free and home of the brave, wants nothing to do with your Socialist/Fascist ideas.

Ah, so you're one of 'those' wackjobs. Got it... now I know there is no need to even try to debate you.

First - no, actually, it doesn't. Parents have the Right to teach their children as they see fit, even if you don't agree with it.
Second - please provide just one example of anything I've ever said that is bigoted.

Gay conversion therapy is when parents send their gay kids to camps to be turned straight again..
If these conversion theray classes work, then children should go to them if the really want help in dealing with it or should at least try it. It's better to have tried than not to have tried. at least later in life, that person can say they tried but it didn't work.

Again parents don't own their children, they have rights as well. There is nothing radical or state worshipping about that.
Since this is a thread about UK think its you who needs to go.

So your rights override your kids?
I assume you are in favour of child labour then,

You are making the claim that 'The State' has a superior claim of ownership over the children than the parents.
Nothing could be more twisted/distorted - and yes, 'State Worshiping' - than that.

Nope, pretty much a universal concept.

Ok, I remember when a black person had to be hired, just because he was black. If any black person applied, that black person had to be hired over a way more qualified person, I actually did great on a civil service exam for the post office, but I could not get hired because they had to hire a black person for the job. So, the post office never got a needed postman because there were no blacks in our area, they went over a year short handed till a black person applied. And you are telling me I am being misled? The head of the post office was a friend of our family, he wanted to give me the job since I passed the exam with flying colors, there were also other local people he knew that qualified, but they were not black. I just got the best score, which should have qualified me over everyone else.
They got rid of that practice a few years ago, but there are still programs that minorities get extra benefits from, I actually know a few people personally that have benefited by their minority status. They will not deny that their race gave them benefits that others do not get. Maybe you should actually do some research on this, looking for the truth of the matter.
Well not sure what country you are in because that was never the case in the UK.
Also completely not sure what the relevance to the thread is.

OK then, sending your kids to have therapy to remove the gay from them is really messed up, sounds like parents that do that could use some education because that's some medieval messed up intolerance.
I don't know how Desmond is dealing with dancing at the nightclub, maybe he really likes it, I would be far more concerned about parents sending their kids to get gay conversion therapy than dancing at a club.
As far as coming off the wrong way to Ats peers, well considering I'm already accused of being a pinko commie leftist libtard, Muslim defending gay advocate gun grabber I'm not sure I care.

When you said that you had the Right to use the power of The State to indoctrinate my children against my wishes.

I await your apology...

I'm talking trans which is much deeper than just putting a dress on as a guy, so to go down the path that a guy wants to be a girl to me is a little too deep of a subject for kids. We can say "oh it is normal" but the reality is it is not. We should treat everyone with respect but trans is abnormal bordering on mental illness.

You are of course entitled to your opinion , but considering transsexualty has no adverse impact on you then your opinion does just sound like good old fashioned bigotry.

Nice label, seems so 2019ish. I'm not intolerant to trans, but I do recognize it as abnormal and when I say borderline mental illness I'm speaking in terms of what the APA DSM-5 would talk about Gender Dysphoria, previously known as Gender Identity Disorder.
The borderline part is for that to be considered a mental illness the condition(s) would need to cause ill effect too and trans in general is considered not to cause ill effects on its own, but the jury might still be out on that as we see a lot of ill effects but what is manifested by social norms or the actual condition is hard to determine. Personally I see the mutilation of body parts that causes non-functionality is enough ill effect to consider at that level a mental illness.
Now when someone suggests that we should have a trans do story time with young children not because the person is good at story time, but because they are a trams then to me that seems like a little too deep of a subject for children.
Now if you see that as "good old fashioned bigotry" then so be it.
