2 groups cancel Orlando conventions as worries over political climate grow

Yabba dabba dooey. You are too smart for me. None of us knew Desantis has been governor for 60 years until you claimed it.

 

All of the above. I think it is predatory to attempt to overthrow a child's understanding that mommy and daddy is normal. A child cannot contend with an adult who wants to oppose and overthrow that understanding. They are not mature enough to even begin to wrestle with complex questions like that. So, the idea of legally separating children from their parents to get them alone in a classroom with a teacher in order to subvert that understanding is child abuse. People who wake up every morning with joy because they get to corrupt more children today are a danger to our children. A society that would allow something like that is a sick society.

 

Sometimes you see an obviously fallacious argument like post #138, and you test the waters with an almost identical argument in structure to make a point.

 

Could I get you a Bud Light?

 

I have been checking the news every day, and I haven't seen FEMA or helicopters descending on Florida to save the refugees yet. Why isn't Biden keeping us safe?

 

You’re trying too hard

 

No, they represent communism and totalitarianism. That has nothing to do with the left.

 

Wow, nine pages! No on has paid this much attention to the Orlando Slantinel in decades!

 

A poster starts a thread insulting people in another thread for insulting people in the other thread where the thread title itself is mocking a political candidate.

Have to love the irony.

 

You'd think that fascist regime would be somewhat of a deterrent.

 

If that happened:



It's all bullshit hot air. A lot more people are moving to Florida than are leaving.

Makes you think that the whole "DeSantis is a racist fascist" routine is more than a little overplayed. I would argue both are outright lies that we've just grown accustomed to seeing for the last decade from anybody threatening to the progressive left.

 

What next? Voter?

A reasonable person can't vote for DeSantis.

 

I will speak for myself.
1. The rainbow has become a marketing ploy.
2. I believe anything dealing with sexuality and sexual preference is an issue of age appropriateness.
3. I do have a moral/biblical objection, to lifestyles that are not one man/one woman, but at the same time I know God has moral objections with many things I do. And the beam in my eye is what I should focus on, rather than the speck of dust in their eye. I believe the constitution also offers certain rights and protections to people we may morally disagree with and Christians cant argue one side of that coin but ignore the other.

....but I dont believe the constitution opens young minds up to adult material.

 

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry!

 

The progressive left actually shifted into high gear in November 2000. Remember the old “daddy kept him out of Vietnam”, “illegitimate president”, “stupid”, “Bush lied, people died” claims.

 

DeSantis' new slogan >>>>

Florida . . . . where conventions go to die!

 

Yeah, I kind of used "rainbow" there to reflect LGBT acceptance generally given the picture of the mom and dad shielding the kids from the rainbow colors with an umbrella.

Some have religious and moral objections to homosexual sex and same sex marriage, for example. Some of these people do not want same sex relationships normalized or recognized in any way because they think people shouldn't be promoting or condoning sin.

Others may be okay with the LGB part but not so much down with the T part if they care about traditional gender roles. Some are fine with the T part for adults but have concerns about kids taking hormones.

Some people may be okay with all of the above but are focused on age appropriateness that is more content specific. Of course, even then, there are issues of degree. Some don't think it's appropriate for kids to be in Hooters while others may let their kids watch R rated movies depending upon the ages. If there is truly pornographic material in elementary schools, for example, I think very, very few people would be okay with that.

It's interesting to me to see how people break down on these issues and their level of concern. The age appropriate argument makes the most sense to me. Personally, I don't think mere mention of someone having two moms or reference to a man's husband, for example, are inherently less age appropriate than referring to heterosexual couples/parents. What was fueled by concerns about kids getting surgery as part of transitioning seems to have morphed into any company which supports Pride Month being lumped in the same basket as drag queen shows for kids.

 

Looks like there is enough concern to generate an ad campaign

 

The LGBTQ+ will crumble on itself as quickly as it metastasized. We went from “born this way” to “I can change gender several times in a day and there is no cap on the number of available genders” in a span of about 5 years. Give it another 5 years. LGB will still be alive and well, but all the stupidity which have co-opted that movement in the past 5 years, along with all their greedy corporate sponsors (who don’t give a damn, they just want to make a quick buck) will be gone or will look totally different than it does now.

 

Now it is "We're here, we're queer, we're coming for your children."
