Yeah.... Norm is sure to come in here and lambaste someone.
Look, you've got a large and complex family as do just about every one of us. There's all types in a family. Thus, we tend to defend all those types. It's only natural.
My point (which I've been consistent with, but somehow always gets distorted) is that no type of lifestyle, sexual preferences, or gender beliefs, should ever be pushed on society as a whole.
Now, you may disagree on that and that is your right.
But complaining about naked men in ball sacks in a Pride parade isn't automatically a pass to call these people homophobic, intolerant, or whatever..... like the proverbial Monopoly card that tell you to move directly to "GO."
You of all people, who have grandchildren, I would assume you try to teach some sort of decorum and public decency guidelines to these kids.
And here again..... teaching kids values is not an automatic pass to "you're brainwashing them or indoctrinating them on hate."
That is a ridiculous assertion to make, and akin with pulling out the double-barrel shotgun to shoot the mosquito.
We all have our "buttons" in life. Those topics that are a bit more sensitive than others. That is normal and does not make one inferior, intolerant, or abnormal.
Is the guy in the video an "authority"? Most certainly NOT. He's just an average Joe stating his opinions. If you chose to, you could make your own YouTube and refute everything the guy said. It would still be only an opinion.
Another point of mine (and one of my "buttons" sort to speak), is the inclusion of children in this whole LGBTQ issue. I'm adamant about letting children be children. There will be enough time for them to make up their own minds about things.
Kids need not have to see grown men wearing dildo hats down a public street parade. You might call that open-mindedness and freedom of expression. I call it lack of common decency values and lack of common sense.
Were it a STRAIGHT PARADE and it was the women wearing the dildo hats..... and men humping women all the way down the street...... I'd feel THE SAME WAY.
But you and Fenny don't seem to understand that..... in your own ways. You with your trigger-sensitive emotions ready to come out in the raw........ and Fenny only too happy to take the opposite side of whatever the fuck I'm saying. (You've got to be totally miserable to hang on another person's every word and thought like that just so you can pounce and attack it. Some sad shit there).
So finally..... does the guy in the video make some good points? I think he does. Do I agree with every single word? Probably not. But it's telling that many young people are being turned off by the movement, as evidenced by GLAAD's own surveys.
