The Tent Is Too Big
It's time for LGB to break up with TQIA+
Max Kanin had a nice piece in
regarding the insincerity around athletes being compelled (forced) to wear pro-LGBTQIA+ jerseys.Have some of my favorite professional athletes worn pride jerseys, not because they genuinely believed in advancing LGBTQIA civil rights, but because they were compelled?
The mere possibility makes professional athletes wearing pride jerseys feel hollow and empty.
A professional athlete wearing a pride jersey should mean far more than just virtue signaling.
The idea of ‘compelled support’ is something I can relate to. More and more I am feeling pressured to support something that has become unsupportable.
And I am not talking about the LGB part of the Alphabet mafia.
Scope Creep
I don’t speak for Conservatives, but I grew up around a lot of them. And while many have a problem with homosexuality for religious reasons (which I respect), many also distill their concern down to gay marriage—specifically about the use of the word ‘marriage.’
They argued that marriage is for a man and a woman. That it is biblical. And that by applying the word ‘marriage’ to same-sex unions it would lead to a slippery slope of Orwellian language abuse and, ultimately, deterioration of culture.
“Give them all the same rights, but don’t use that word”—was a common statement I heard in the 1990s.
I disagreed with them at the time.
But I don’t disagree any more.
Unlike many of my Evangelical friends, I don’t have a problem with monogamous gay unions. I voted in favor of gay marriage and still support my friends who are in those relationships.
But I think that the Alphabet community is proving the Conservatives correct on at least one thing: the LGBTQIA+ community is supporting the transformation of words and language. Phrases like Younger Attracted Person (YAP) in place of pedophile. Or the inability to answer the simple question: What is a woman?
“Control language and you control thought; control thought and you control action; control action and you control the world.”
I can’t say for sure that it was gay marriage that caused us to cascade to where we are today. But I can say with certainty that the gay rights movement has been overtaken by a radical pledge to dissolve parental rights, make androgynous a generation of kids, normalize pedophilia, and silence opposition voices.
Bridges Too Far
Like it or not, the LGBTQIA+ acronym is now synonymous with green haired, short-banged overweight women screaming down speakers on college campuses.
And white suburban liberal moms putting up Reels on Instagram of their non-binary 5 year old.
And Antifa weirdos in riot gear with black umbrellas pulling down Christopher Columbus statues.
And legislation in Progressive states that limits the rights of parents to protect their own kids from activist school teachers and a medical industrial complex that wants to have the ultimate authority to give hormones blockers to kids who can’t vote.
And a rapidly accelerating invasion of childhood innocence with inappropriate sexual media, the normalizing of pedophilia and the mutilation of their bodies.
What does the LGBTQIA+ community expect? 20 years ago I was standing up for same-sex unions and today I am wondering if the Evangelicals were right.
Where Is The Plus+?
One of the first things that struck me about Max’s piece was the lack of + at the end of the LGBTQIA in his article. I am not a part of the Alphabet community, so I don’t always know what the rules are. But I couldn’t help but wonder: Does Max have a limit to the community with which he associates? Certainly this was no oversight, since the acronym was used at least 10 times in his article.
Chadwick Moore, a gay man, recently joked on Tucker Carlson’s show that the + included straight men. While I highly doubt that, I am pretty sure that things like Two Spirit, Pansexual and Ally are mixed in there. A simple + covers it. But are they covered in Max’s piece if the + is intentionally removed? What if the TQAI+ was removed altogether?
According to an article in Bustle, “(t)he plus is widely taken as a symbol to represent self-identifying members of the community who are not included in the LGBTQIA acronym…support and acceptance of those who live with HIV…(and) also the experiences of those within the community.”
Whether or not Max left the + off as a statement, I cannot say. But I can fully appreciate a desire to NOT put a plus+ on the end of the Alphabet. As in: NOT everyone is welcome.
Break It Up
If the gay community is to hold on to the wonderful gains made over the last 50 years, the best thing it could do is break free from the TQIA+ loons.
Yup, they are not your people. And I am speaking in terms of generalities here, not individual people. The LGB crowd is civilized, sociable, and rational. The TQIA+ crowd is sociopathic, unreasonable and intolerable.
How in the world am I, as a rational human being, supposed to “support” the LGBTQIA+ community when the most vocal sect within it wants to castrate children, put grown men in women’s locker rooms, and put on drag shows in public elementary schools?
Nah. It got weird. I was on team LGB. But I can’t do the TQIA+. I value women too much. And I value kids.
And families.
And biology.
And reason.
And no matter how much they gaslight, or virtue signal, or play victim, or suggest they are “denied a right to exist,” or threaten Matt Walsh, I cannot and will not sacrifice women and kids to this crazed cult.
So, LGB, break up with TQIA+. It’s time.
Well said! Thank you for articulating what I feel so succinctly. I’m a straight female (not going to say “cis” because I shouldn’t have to). 60 years old, went to Berkeley in the early 80’s. Had plenty of gay friends and still do, and by and large, most of them are fed up with the TQIA+ nonsense. Where does it end? What else are we expected to normalize? Pedophilia? Sex with animals? Necrophilia? No. Enough.
