If they're looking for large groups who want to "indoctrinate and sexualize" children, they need look no further than the church

Not convenient RE: the (minority) they want to target.
They'll keep hating what the rich tell them to hate; all we can do is bullwark against it.
A few weeks ago there was a post on how much gambling advertising is in Sports these days. I looked on the numbers on Canadian gambling addiction and it certainly seems to be much more widespread.
Don't really think I've really seen any of them complain about that. They just seem have a really unhealthy infatuation about sex.
Does anyone know when being religious stopped being gay?
Iβve talked to people my age all over Ontario and we just assumed it was the kids not being intolerant anymore but it seems weird for them to be enemies
Does anyone know when being religious stopped being gay?
Most popular religions seem to be anti-gay, so I don't really know what you are trying to ask.
20 years ago gay was an insult
If people at school found out you went to church or believed in god then youβd get beaten up/be an outcast
Bro what are you talking about. Christians have been the majority forever. Not believing in God makes you the outlier, not the other way around.
Did you not grow up in Ontario?
I think it was closer to 25 year, maybe even 30 years in some parts. I remember people beginning to realize how bigoted it was to use gay as an insult prior to gay marriage being legalized in 2005.
20 years would have been before 2005 but Harper got elected the first time on the promise of making it illegal again so it didnβt go away after that
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Aden Polydoros spent more than a decade living in Arizona as a transgender man until, he says, a transphobic experience in the summer of 2022 prompted him to move to Canada.
They see allegations of "indoctrination" as thinly veiled transphobia, in part because they echo homophobic arguments used in past decades against lesbians and gay men.
And, now, with restrictive national legislation being tabled on topics like gender-affirming care, transgender people in the military and teaching about gender identity in schools, Reed says more Americans may look for refuge abroad.
While the protests are largely focused on education β because of the alleged peril to children β advocates say they contribute to a broader feeling that transphobia in Canada is becoming more prominent.
Kimberly Shappley's family fled Texas for Connecticut in 2022, after the state governor signed an executive order that would prosecute parents of trans children for abuse if they affirmed the child's gender.
She's considered Ireland and New Zealand, but it's an expensive move to make for a single mother β and advocates say there are no guarantees transgender rights will continue to be protected.
The original article contains 991 words, the summary contains 187 words. Saved 81%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
As bad as it sounds when times get tough they stop caring about others issues and more on their own. And also look for scale goats.
From Arizona to Canada β so they just blew right past Vegas, huh?
