When they say “Say Gay” it’s not all they want to say.

Here is everything they want to teach kindergarteners (5yo) - 3rd graders (8yo).

A/ Allyship is understood as a subordinate and supportive role within a group of activists for an identity group seen as marginalized that is held by someone who has an identity seen as privileged. Thus, an antiracist ally is white and an LGBT ally is straight, for examples.

B/ Bi(SEXUAL)

E/ Equality

Nothing wrong here. This will be the one of the pages the groomers will grab ahold of and say “why are you against teaching kids about equality?” While they ignore all of the other completely inappropriate, grooming pages.

F/ Family

Emphasis on the expansion of the family to include the “found.” Maybe to prime the child to view their teachers as more parent than paid public school teacher? Seems that way, doesn’t it?

G/ Gay (homoSEXUAL)

Here it is. The word gay.

But again…

K/ KiKi?

Kiki is a term which grew out of Black LGBTQ American social culture, and is loosely defined as a gathering of friends for the purpose of gossiping and chit-chat, and later made more widely known in the song "Let's Have a Kiki" by the “Scissor (Lesbian sex) Sisters.”

Q/ Queer

Queer Theory exists, in a nutshell, to antagonize the normal—that is, anything that can be considered normal by society and thus that carries or can be construed to imply a morally normative expectation about it, which it deems intrinsically oppressive.

Many kids this age can’t tell left from right so let’s make sure to make sure they can’t tell boys from girls.. at 5 years old…

Z/ Zest

Why not just Zebra?? U know Something completely innocent and tangible that a young mind can grab ahold of to help associate a word and sound with an easily understood object?

But that wouldn’t be “Gay”enough to for a 5 year old, would it?

A-Z = “Say Gay” for Groomers
