We’re Here, We’re Queer, and We Are Coming For Your Children

I was born in the 80s, raised in the 90s. We had block parties. We hung out into the wee hours of the night playing stick ball in the streets, riding bikes, etc. We fought, we played, and we didn’t have a need for a safe space. The family unit was a solid structure in the community. What happened? Why are kids today so delicate? For one, let’s look at the father figure. In the 80s we had Danny Tanner, Carl Winslow, Phillip Banks, etc. These dads were successful and loving. Fast-forward to the 90s & 2000s, we had Homer Simpson, Al Bundy, Peter Griffin, etc. These characters were making the father figure out to look like a bumbling fool. The family unit has been under attack for quite some time. The family unit is the foundation for children to grow up and have a healthy view of themselves and those around them.
There are certain lines in life you just don’t cross. There is a certain respect for others that is natural, and you say to yourself “I’m not going there”. The line has been crossed in so many ways. It’s drag story time at your local library or school. There are half naked people dressed in drag marching the streets of New York chanting “We’re Here, We’re Queer, and We are coming for your children! You walk into Target, and front and center you have clothes marketed to young children with LGBTQ themes.
Where do their rights end, and mine begin? Where is my right to not have this hammed at me every time I turn on the TV, go to a store, or drive down the highway?
If you walked into Target, and there was a front display of T-shirt’s with crosses and bible verses or
American flags, there’d be an uproar; however it is somehow acceptable to have a toddler wear a t-shirt representing the fact that they are gay, or transgender.
I sometime wonder if I have awoken in an alternate universe where wrong is right and right is wrong.
What happened to father’s and family values?
