You know where I and thousands of other kids were groomed, abused, sexually assaulted, manipulated, controlled, brainwashed, beaten, & silenced? Yeah it wasn't Pride parades or drag story hours.
It was in your fucking churches.
It was in your fucking churches.
You know where I learned consent & that my body belonged to me, that I could say no to my spouse, that men didn't own my body, that they could control themselves, that I could be who I was without shame?
Queer spaces.
Queer spaces.
And that's it, isn't it? If you wree actually afraid of people grooming your kids, you'd never step foot in a church or church camp again.
But that's not what your afraid of.
You're afraid of them learning you're full of bullshit.

You're afraid of them learning you're full of bullshit.
You're afraid they'll learn that being gay is normal. That gender is a spectrum not a binary, suffocating box they have to fit in.
You're afraid that you'll lose control over them. That they'll become someone you've been taught is an aberration, an abomination, unworthy.

Your fears have nothing to do with your kids falling prey to predators because you still take them 3 x a week to the 1 place they're most likely to be preyed on.
Stop lying to yourself. Stop letting your own fears hurt your kids.
Stop lying to yourself. Stop letting your own fears hurt your kids.
And fucking stop making me & people like me the scapegoat for your fears and failures and small-minded worldview that's dying the death it deserves.
Your kids will be who they are, either because of you or in spite of you.
Your choice.

YOUR CHURCHES taught me that my 8yo legs were tempting to grown ass men so y'all can take ALL the seats.
