    I mean, as much as I like to blame the American right-wing for anything wrong in the world, I’m pretty sure Muslims have been against the LGBTQ+ community for awhile. Those death sentences they give out for that didn’t just come out of nowhere.

    What kind of circular logic is that? Muslims and Christians oppose LGBT because it’s against their religion. Stop trying to scapegoat and just blame who is really responsible…religion.

    As much as Canadians like to believe conservatives and moderates don’t exist up here, we actually do. You don’t even have to be right wing to oppose the LGBT conglomerate.

    I’m a bisexual, socially liberal moderate who doesn’t like LGBT politics. It’s got nothing to do with being religious. In fact, it’s the way the LGBT ideology resembles a religion that I have the biggest problem with. They have their sacred idols, their dogma, and their blasphemies. They ignore science that disagrees with their beliefs, and they mark you as a heretic if you don’t subscribe to their tenets. The only thing they’re missing is a deity.

    I know it’s hard to believe, but you can be sex positive and still not be alright with pride parades where people march in bdsm gear. You can think drag shows are fine while still thinking they don’t need to be in our schools.

    And, really, that’s what solidified my stance against the LGBT political lobby. They won’t leave our kids alone. I’m one of the most live-and-let-live people you will ever meet. When you start trying to indoctrinate my kids because you believe your ideology is the norm (or should be), that’s where my accommodation ends.

    I accept you for who you are. I respect your existence just like I respect anyone else’s. But your ideas are not neutral, they are not without harm, and I’m the one who gets to guide the developing values of my kids. You’ve been in control of the direction of our society for too long. It’s time to draw some boundaries.
