Today, I saw a video in which some guy calling in to a talk show complained that gays are "influencing" kids. It was the standard junk that we've heard all of our lives i.e. the lie that children knowing that LGBTQ people exist will somehow "take away" their innocence. He also said that 18+ was the appropriate age learn that we exist.
Yet again, some fool reducing our lives to his fevered imagination of what he thinks we do sexually.
That's why I am reposting this video. It's a reminder of a simple fact that so many in this country want to ignore - the fact that LGBTQ children exist. They are not recruited, sexualized, groomed, nor any of the other adjectives used to create negative connotations of LGBTQ people. They simply are who they are.
Omitting their existence won't make them disappear. And as it has been proven countless times, all of the ex-gay therapy in the world won't change their gender expression or sexual orientation as if it's something which can be cured by antibiotics.
LGBTQ children exist, but how they exist is dependent on us. We can either embrace and guide them or act in deluded directions which won't change them one iota, but create self-hatred which will damage them spiritually, emotionally, and in some cases, physically.
