LGBTQ Pride Storybooks in Maryland Public Schools - the battle of national interest

I would like to see an image of this:

'Pride Puppy is the story of two women taking their children to a Pride parade, where their puppy gets lost. It asks 3- to 4-year-old readers to find images from a word list that includes “[drag] queen,” “underwear,” and “leather.”'

There it is again. Utter the word "LGBT" and BOOOM, sexuality and sex are discussed mentioned.

When someone introduces you to a straight couple, do you immediately think of what they have been doing in their bedrooms? If there's some kinky stuff going on there?

Are you okay with butt-plugs being exposed to children? Dildos? Where is the line, for you? Is there a line?

You have been so deep in the far right narrative that you think anyone who disagrees is okay with that.

For the record, no I am not okay with that. You should be ashamed for asking such a question.

You didn't answer my question. Where's the line for you? When is it too much for children? We're not talking about mommy and mommy/ daddy and daddy here. We are discussing where grade school children should be taught about sex toys and sexual positions.

That's my line. Where's yours?

I thought it was made clear. What would the purpose of teaching K-6 students about sex toys and sexual positions? (Assuming it has even happened in the first place.)

No. You weren't clear. If you were clear, we may actually agree.

You're the one stuck in a narrative of what you believe people to-the-right of you believe.

Expected as well.

My next-door neighbors are a gay couple, and sexuality doesn't ever get mixed into our conversations when we have get-togethers, but sexuality mixes very quickly and is normalized within the alphabet community, so how does anyone including that community get away from it as it seems to be the front runner to their points. I was in Sidney for the last two weeks of Pride month and it was 99% a sexual-based event, so stop with your "why do you all go there" attitude. We are reacting not inventing... so give me a break.

The point is that the far-right narrative is a lie. Nobody is teaching K-6 about sex toys and sexual positions. Anal plugs? That's a lie. The point of the far-right narrative is fearmongering. It stirs people's emotions up, as clearly has been done on you.

The kids need to be taught inclusivity and tolerance, not bigotry, bullying and hatred. That's all there is it to it.

I know you agree that kids should be taught tolerance and inclusivity.

I know it's the far-right narrative. Why do you think I am not paying attention? In fact I EXPECTED the discussion about LGBT and children be turned into sexuality and sexual behavior.

I'm not far right... And my gay friends agree with me a good deal and most are not Conservative. So what narrative are you talking about?

It's amazing how every time you get cornered in an argument its some extraneous boogey(straw)man at fault.


Instead of looking at your own arguments and position from a logical perspective instead of an emotional one, this well never end.

I notice you do this a lot. When I present evidence, examples and/or arguments, you go this route. Every time I ask for evidence or examples, you also go this route.

Nothing to add to the discussion. An empty value.

The anti-LGBT narrative. The lies spouted about what is being taught in K-6 schools.

Did you notice where I asked for an image where it asks them to find a drag queen or an underwear in the picture in the book?

I have received ZERO replies.

Nope and neither with a gay couple, don't care. Spent two weeks on vacation with a lesbian couple, and sex never came up, and I was very happy as I had 3 women taking care of me.

Having classes on the general aspects of inclusivity to include LGBTQ is great. Should be done at different levels based on the age of the students.

When the school or teachers bring sex into the conversation and it is inappropriate based on the age of the children or young adults then sexuality enters the conversation. No one cared or talked about any of this 10 years ago, so what changed?

That is false. My post history is lengthy and available.

Youre projecting again...

See? You get it. Nobody thinks of sex or anything like that. That's the entire point!

There you go again. "Projecting".

What's next? "Gaslighting"?

Are you going to start having a discussion or just mindless throwing out words that add nothing of any value?

Case in point.

Well done.

Please go read “This Book is Gay” which is or was in lower-grade libraries on the to-read list. The book instructs readers on anal sex and the use of the gay adult hookup app Grindr.

That will give you an idea of what people are talking about...

a reply to: Xtrozero

It would be the other way around, males would be more likely to choose to become trans or feel they have more gender dysphoria, in a biological sense, hence why I said before we are "assigned" our biological genders we are all female (the nipples are the evidence) and the X chromosome is becoming weaker.

Socially, more females become trans males, and that's because we live in mostly a patriarchal society and just being male is a dominant role in that society, why wouldn't a woman want to tap into that level of social wealth?

You keep saying that medical procedures are detrimental to youth, I'm not arguing against that, most sane people aren't. And it doesn't happen as often as you think it does.
Although, I find that males who transition to females to be muxh more of a threat, unfortunately I have an anecdotal experience with that and it's terrifying, they abuse the trans movment to justify their sexual desires and run from their past, that's another story tho, but I can see that being more of an issue than children or teens getting their parents to mutilate them, which is still awful.

Anyways, good talk. I'll check the thread out later or tomorrow.

I looked that book up. It's for young adults 14-17.

At what age should we teach sex toys?

Should not be taught in schools.

So did you have an issue with FL banning it from grades 4 and below? Were you on the bandwagon that what FL was doing was the greatest threat to freedom of speech in the last 500 years though one could get it easily outside of school?

Do you see it OK for 14 to 17-year-olds to set up an account on Grindr? Is it OK for adults to have sex with 14 to 17 year-olds? Asking for a friend...
