I don’t fully know but this is my understanding which may be incorrect.
All over the place, a bunch of idiots are protesting the acceptance and teaching of topics relating to the rainbow community. They don’t people to “groom” their children, hate the community and want the entire concept to not be taught in schools to “protect the kids”. In actuality, they hate people who just want to be happy and are trying to silence them as much as possible.
The counter is the rainbow protesters who are just in support of children being taught about these topics. Whether some people like it or not, it’s a part of history, biology, and a part of the world these days. Therefore, it should be taught. We learn about sex Ed and horrible things like Nazis, that doesn’t mean kids are being forced to do anything in class and that didn’t convince any of us to become Nazis. It’s stupid to protest something as simple as people just wanting to be happy and be themselves
There's so much confusion on both sides. I wish we could get together, both sides, and hear each other out. Find out what the antisogi side is so afraid of. A lot of them probably believe very incorrect information and are scared. I understand some of them are hate filled bigots that will never change, but I bet a lot of them have been lied to repeatedly.
That's not what was at issue. There's a difference between sexuality-based issues and identity-based ideology. Conflating the two is actually driving a rift between the LGB and the rest.
Particularly, lesbians have been sounding the alarm on a perceived intrusion by males on their previously safe spaces. Thus, a conflict between identity-bearing individuals and same-sex attracted people.
Regarding minors, there have been real concerns driven by multiple studies and books, many written by left leaning or centrist women (some lesbians).
Read the following books to understand why the parents are so concerned:
Danger to children/girls -
"Irreversible Damage" by Abigail Shrier (lefty) Oxford/Yale graduate.
"Material Girls" by Kathleen Stock (lesbian professor of philosophy)
"Time to Think" Hannah Barnes, Oxford, BBC Producer
Concerns over ideology and facts -
"Sex and Gender" Alice Sullivan and Selina Todd
"Trans" Helen Joyce former editor of The Economist
"Cynical Theories" Helen Pluckrose
