    the left doesn't really care. Muslims are seen as "people of color.". Which isn't true white people can be and are Muslims. Also specifically says Muhammad is white. It goes into a great description. In fact this celebration of whiteness in the Quran was so obvious the ku Klux klan called their handbook the kloran.

    Michael so what's really going on here and leftist are being racist. They Don't give a **** what the quran's heads they just carried that the people referred to as Muslims are mostly not White.
    Yeah I remember pride month all the corporations that are world wide made rainbow flag avatars on social media but not in the middle East. So it's just a virtue signal empty of actual virtue

    You have stated that lgbt issues in school is indoctrination and grooming — you have not once called out the other items mentioned in common books but have railed against gay characters. There is a reason you cannot answer a simple question and it is because it is accurate.

    I don’t normally handle discussions well when it is opinions that ignores facts — since this thread is only opinions you should be clear.

    Huh he does the exact same thing to me.

    It's called a strawman
    Yep very common.

    So it's not ironic it's just noticing a similar pattern of behavior.

    No you misrepresent and attribute things to people that they didn't say.

    When this happens over and over again to you it's you not others that are the problem.

    I never said others were the issue — I make assumptions because people don’t just come out and say what they actually mean. For instance, if someone says homosexuality is a sin, allowing discussions in school is grooming and they hope it bankrupts them — is it far fetched to say they probably don’t want those discussions in school?

    Yes or no?

    Frequently when I assume something and then just outright ask them they refuse to answer even before I make my statement and definitely after.

    And that is just for opinions, when I am trying to ask someone for a source for something they are presenting as fact and they just repeat their opinion that goes another way.

    If you want to call it misrepresentation then so be it. I don’t care. It’s what I am witnessing.

    As for it happening “over and over” again — it only does that with about 5 or 6 posters that share fairly similar debate strategies.

    I'm just glad to know that you don't save it specifically for me it's just the way you operate.

    I'm not interested in discussing anything with you.

    You'll inevitably misrepresent something then I'll have to correct you on that and then you'll resort to personal attacks.

    I've had enough conversations with you to know better now.

    In 14 pages you literally twisted the arguement into something it is not. Have you even actually read what this is all about? It's not about gay people "holding hands" or being shown in a home/Family/soft setting. It's about this:

    Chapter 9: The In's and Out's of Gay Sex

    https://lynnwoodtimes.com/2022/10/13/sexually-explicit-books-221013/

    You think teaching children the "In's and Out's of gay Sex" is a hill you really want to defend? Remove the word "gay" and it's still completely inapporpriate. They are literally promoting porn in these schools to children that should not be exposed to such things.

    This merely one example of an easy Google search I found that shows schools all over the US sexualizing" children that is infruiting parents everywhere. Not even 20 years ago, many of the teachers pushing this on children would have been arrested and labelled with sex crimes against society.

    Don't bother responding to me because I won't even read it as your statements have already precluded what you stand for and what you want for children in schools.

    No, I didn't fail at all which is obvious by your lack of rebuttal.
    I did nothing at all dishonest with what you think is an edit of your comment. I took each word you used to make a point and showed how you were wrong. If you think proving you wrong is dishonest there's nothing I can or will do about that.

    I’ll block you then.
    No need in seeing the opinion of a wall

    It's okay many people do a lot of things to avoid criticism.

    Maybe you should not be here if you can't talk to people who don't agree with you

    I just wish there was some basic honesty — for one to say they believe gay = sin and that discussion of it in school is grooming and then add to that by comparing it to mental illnesses as to why it shouldn’t be taught when called our go into a rage about their words being edited and that’s not really what they mean.

    1+1=2

    It’s a fascinating juggle.
    The number of them that think you can make people gay against all evidence to the contrary is strange however

    I'm your huckleberry. Homosexuality is dysgenic and damaging to civilization and societies. The greater the prevalence of homosexuality, the greater the likelihood that the civilization will fracture and be conquered by a civilization less tolerant of it.

    Homosexuality should not be presented to children at a public school under any circumstances. More importantly it should not presented as the "cool" option to heterosexuality. I was once convinced it was a genetic thing but the skyrocketing rate of homosexuality and transgenderism among the young people is making me less sure of that. It is terrifying to think that kids can be indoctrinated into it and that there are teachers ready and eager to do it.

    I have lesbian neighbors and get along with them swimmingly. However, it is rather upsetting to me that they never married men and passed on their genes. Two professional, highly paid individuals and they did nothing to sustain our civilization. They simply let their highly valuable genes fall out of the pool. Unacceptable. Do it across the entire country at high levels and it is suicide.

    There is your basic honesty.

    There is zero proof of that. Homosexuality has been around as long as there have been humans. Some civilazations were tolerant and some were not. The common denominator for those that do not would be religion......which could also be considered a mental disorder.

    It's not "presented" other than life around you
    Showing tolerance IS cool. If you think someone "chooses" to be gay to be cool.....is not cool, at all
    Did it ever occur to you that the "skyrocketing" rate is simply because of tolerance and acceptance now rather than a death sentence like in the past
    No one is "indoctrinated" into being gay or transsexual and teacher don't teach it. You probably think there are litterboxes in schools for kids that identify as cats which is a favorite right wing myth these days.
    Good for you, no reason not to
    Frankly, none of your business
    They can have children if they choose to by many different methods
    Not everyone wants to have kids. Don't you know any heterosexuals that don't want kids. It's pretty common these days.
    To who?
    You're overthinking it
    Well, it's somethin anyway

    Thank you for voicing your real beliefs. I can respect that — not the views — but honesty and not running around trying to excuse those beliefs.

    To your points:
    Homosexuality has always been estimated at around 8-10% of the population based on tests that measure arousal. Even dating back to when it was illegal this test found the same numbers.

    I agree it shouldn’t be presented as “cool” but see no reason why it should be banned especially if having open discussions and representation lowers STD transmission or increases tolerance.

    If homosexuality was proven to be genetic or environmental from either the womb or at birth and the risk to “create” a higher number was disproven would you still be against any discussion in school alongside heterosexual characters and topics?

    I am against any sexual topics for very young children

    But they correlate pretty damned closely.

    SAT’s are not a measure of intelligence as defined by you.
    Are you able to provide evidence that a white skin colour makes people on average more ‘intelligent’ than people of a black skin colour?

    I can provide oodles of evidence that people with a white skin color are more intelligent. Not that the color makes them more intelligent.

    Just what would you consider evidence?

    I can also provide evidence that water is wet.

    Evidence that stops me thinking your claim is basic racial prejudice.
