Just when you thought extreme right wing rhetoric couldn’t get any lower … they start targeting children at their schools to hold their protests
======
“The biggest names in the Canadian far-right have pivoted to this issue,” Canadian Anti-Hate Network Deputy Director Elizabeth Simons told PressProgress.
“Many of the networks and influencers involved in the anti-2SLGBTQ+ hate targeted at school boards and drag events got their start, or at least their notoriety, during the Freedom Convoy and the COVID conspiracy theory movement.”
A large portion, if not all of these people were just bitching about people (the government) telling them what to do with their bodies, and here they are doing the EXACT same thing to school aged kids.
And the irony is completely lost on them.
The trans flag is literally one of inclusion and equality for all, and yet they protest it too. At what point, while you’re lying in bed after a hard day of ‘protecting kids from pedophiles’ do you go ‘yeah, I’m so glad I’m actively viewing others as subhuman?’
Not quite relevant to the article, but I just noticed the 2S is being put at the front of the acronym! I quite like it.
I’m saying the same thing I’ve been saying for years. We need a more simple replacement for LGBT if we want to be more inclusive. If there’s anything that fails to gain public support, it’s things that change or become more complicated.
Because 2SLGBTQIAP+ is a mouthful.
I hope one day it will just be “people”
It’s astonishing that this is so difficult for most of society. Half the world will kill our arrest you for just loving someone they don’t agree with
