PSA: if watching two men kiss will turn your child gay...

[QueerDuck]

A black background with white text that says: PSA: if watching two men kiss will turn your child gay, just show them a man and a woman kissing and change them back. Since apparently you think that's how this whole thing works you fcking idiot.

1. Now do trans kids' books!

[kxs]

8. Absolutely brilliant

[sheshe2]

2. Recommend!

3. Who cares what other consenting adults do?

[QueerDuck]

4. Just a guess: Those who recognize the same feelings in themselves but choose to deny it and...

...try to prove it to others (and themselves) by demonizing and attacking others who represent and who have what they wish they were strong enough to have for themselves? Or something.

The obsession with policing consenting adults is usually just a noisy, desperate attempt to drown out the voice in their own head. They are not fighting a culture war; they are fighting a losing battle against their own denial.

It is honestly impressive how much effort they put into 'saving' everyone else from a lifestyle they seem to spend an awful lot of time thinking about. You really have to wonder: why is their own sex life so boring that they have to live vicariously through ours?

5. Yup

[multigraincracker]

9. Bingo.

[ShazzieB]

14. That's definitely true for some people.

But I think there are also some who fear that there's some kind of mysterious "contagion" in the air that may turn themselves or their kids (especially their kids) gay or trans. There seems to especially be a lot of paranoia pately about kids turning trans just because they think it's trendy or something. (Which is of course utterly ridiculous, but that is a thing that is going on with some right wingers, unfortunately.)

[TommyT139]

15. And they have funded "studies" to justify that theory.

If you ever hear the phrase "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria," know that you are in the presence of bullshit. In short, it insists that kids (especially girls) latch onto being trans because The Internet.

Umm, no.

Right now your tax dollars are being taken from legitimate research and going towards people with no real qualifications who claim to be studying this hooey. That will provide more justification for policies and legislation outlawing access to age-appropriate health information, depictions of diverse families, and rethug-led hypersexualization of minors, especially girls.

10. Only the Bedroom Busybodies.

[3catwoman3]

20. "Bedroom Busybodies."

Very apt moniker.

[OhioBack2Blue]

21. Unfortunately....

...they are infecting other areas of the "house" now like the kitchen, the bathrooms, and the entertainment room...

[Skittles]

12. I honestly don't care what consenting adults do

UNLESS they are repukes who routinely judge the morals of others - then they deserve the scrutiny

[chowmama]

16. I've had the same response to those types of people for some time now.

If we ever got a handle on what people do to other people against their will, I might start getting interested in what the consenting adults get up to. But since that ain't happenin' in my lifetime and probably not in my grandchildren's (if any) lifetime...

I don't care if somebody wants to sleep with Florida grapefruit. As long as that grapefruit is an adult consulting grapefruit, this is not my business and not my problem. They can go ahead and have at it, as far as I'm concerned.

Since I'm a little old silver-haired lady, this generally shocks the hell out of them.

6. I just hope to God

That watching a "President" be a cruel, selfish, absolute IDIOT won't make our children grow up to be Trump!

[Ilsa]

17. But we've seen this trump effect on adults who

have no conscience, no ethics, no morality.

[Callie1979]

18. Already happening.

[Upthevibe]

7. Kick. N/T

[OMGWTF]

11. One more thing: If you don't like gays, blame the straight people. They're the ones making them.

[Callie1979]

19. Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

[OhioBack2Blue]

22. I will do you one better...

my birth mother blames my adoptive mother, who was btw, a rabid republican when she was alive (so a cultural and developmental perspective) and my adoptive mother blames my birth mother (a biological genetics perspective).

I just want to knock their two heads together.

[AllaN01Bear]

13. ding. this

[dawn5651]

23. what if you catch 2 men in bed together.

[QueerDuck]

24. Personally? My first thought is... "watch quietly and hope they don't notice" 🤣😂

... and then "ask politely if I could join them" 🤣😂

But I guess it would depend on the actual circumstances.

[dawn5651]

25. no thank...but to add context..it was my sister. she and my cousin

were at his house to pick up more punch items and they walked in his fathers bedroom and there was dear old dad in bed with his boyfriend...i realize you don't know these people but both were gross...lmao
