    Would it be morally wrong for me to make a donation to the Trevor Foundation in her name and send her notification of that fact?

    The incessant grooming of our children will never stop until we lock up every single pastor and shutter every church in this country.

    I think the feds should get involved any time anyone grooms children for any sexual act. But I think her and I firmly disagree on where each counts

    I wonder if she knows that it’s already illegal?

    Or is she just salty that priests are the ones being arrested?

      Except that by “groom kids with sodomy,” she means “teach them that queer people exist and that they’re normal people.”

        Yeah, there’s that.

        They like changing definitions. Though, if we’re gonna talk about groomers, she’s more likely to be one than drag or LGBTQ, and it ain’t even close.

          Definitely. You don’t hear stories about drag queens committing sexual assault against children.

          You hear a lot of stories of religious figures doing it though…

      I think she does - the bill is about materials being sent home with kids from schools that include sodomy or grooming or the incredibly vague ‘lgbt agenda’

      It’s designed so that instead of banning books individually, they can just sue for anything they don’t like.

      The headline makes it sound ridiculous - and in a way it is, of course - but it’s potentially dangerous. I don’t know how much sway her organisation has, if it’s big or niche. Hopefully zero

      No she’s just an idiot with an agenda. Her propaganda software is just stuck in a recursion loop.

    I want a law that says that “men of the cloth” should be sentenced identically to “regular people” and that any attempts at shuffling those types to other churches should be abetting a criminal, again being pressed to the full extent of the law.

    How do we address the alphabet mafia? You know, the LGBTQRSTD. …

    STD? Maybe she thinks Gomorrah is a venereal disease?

    Conservatives need to come up with a better tactic than banning things that are already illegal.

      It is illegal, you’re right, but they want to destroy the legal definitions of many things so that they can write new ones. So suddenly, teaching kids about how their bodies work becomes “grooming”. Being anything other than a straight white Christian male makes you a “sex offender”. Reading anything other than the Bible to kids is “indoctrination”, and so on.

      They’ve spent many years and billions of dollars studying the power of language and ideas. They have framing the issues from their perspective down to an art form. If you control what words mean, you control debate and democracy.
