The Family Research Council wants to pretend that LGBTQ families and our children don't exist

With Pride Month every year comes the celebrations, the intense debates about where we are as a community, the bellyaching of various natures, and, last but not least, the futile whining of the religious right about how LGBTQ people are being uppity and not knowing our place, or rather the place they want to put us in.

Case in point is the Family Research Council:

There are lots of parents today who wouldn't think twice about sitting their kids down in front of the Disney Channel or Cartoon Network. And that, conservatives warn, is exactly the problem. Like so many other moms and dads, they're expecting the same kind of harmless storylines they watched in the 70s and 80s. What their children are seeing is anything but. 

Say goodbye to the regular plot lines of Blue's Clues and Scooby-Doo -- and hello to a 21st century lesson in transgenderism, sex, homosexuality, non-binaries, and drag queens.  That's the new reality of radical programming on some of America's favorite shows -- especially, parents are discovering, during Pride month. Loveable animals like Arthur and My Little Pony have been commandeered by the far-Left for lessons that would make most adult's jaws drop.

  In the latest example on Blue's Clues, real-life drag queen Nina West sings a Pride parade song to the tune of "The Ants Go Marching" -- except the lyrics have been replaced with "LGBTQ buzzwords like 'ace' -- which stands for 'asexual' -- as well as 'queer,' 'bi,' 'pan,' 'allies,' and 'kings and queens,'" the Blaze warns. Blue and friends watch their two-mom floats go by while rainbow and transgender flags dot the colorful landscape. 

This is just the beginning of Nickelodeon's full-blown assault on mainstream morality. SpongeBob Square Pants has already stepped into the LGBTQ world, so, according to TMZ, "it's really not that much of a stretch for them to get Blue onboard, too." The goal, the outlet says, is to take "proactive steps to teach kids about different family structures in a fun, catchy way that appeals to young children."

Oh the drama! And highly dishonest drama, too. Notice FRC's passage:

Say goodbye to the regular plot lines of Blue's Clues and Scooby-Doo -- and hello to a 21st century lesson in transgenderism, sex, homosexuality, non-binaries, and drag queens.

There is nothing in Blue's Clues video having to do with sex. The mention of "sex" is courtesy of FRC as a way of twisting the false image it hopes is driven into the head of its readers - that the LGBTQ identity is solely materialistic, solely sexual, totally devoid of anything resembling values of love, and that we are extremely eager to "recruit" children into this identity.

Hence while FRC was spinning all sorts of negative claims about the Blues Clues video, it deliberately skipped past the actual purpose of the video - to educate about and affirm the different families raising children. There is no leftist plot to indoctrinate or recruit. The video merely speaks truth in the fact that there are many families raising children in America and a large number of these families are LGBTQ.

FRC wants to cast same-sex families and our children as anomalies, but that's not going to happen.  We exist and we simply refuse to shut up about it.  And just like every other family, we will not take a backseat or second class status. We will fight for our families and children with just as much determination and devotion as the two-parent heterosexual mother/father dynamic FRC holds so dear.  There is no competition nor caste system when it comes to families raising children. All families which provide kids with love and support, as well as the necessary physical means, should be valued.

Bottom line - if the Family Research Council is an organization truly devoted to uplifting and protecting  the "family," it would not pretend that our families don't exist.  It sounds like 'Christian' isn't the only word FRC is appropriating.

Editor's note - and on a last note which has nothing really to do with anything, it's rather ironic that FRC complains that the cartoon Scooby Doo is being replaced with drag queens seeing how many times the character of Scooby Doo has dressed in drag.

No biggie. I just want to be petty.
