Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Imagine being afraid of talking with your kids about that topic. What a bitch.
If you never mention it to them, raise them in the church, home school them, make sure they marry some other homeschooler, keep them working in the family grift, you can raise them so they never hear about things like Trans and Gay and Liberal and Socialist, and they'll create a better Christian America in the future.
Are these the same people with a Grindr account?
The thing is that the very reason he's afraid is because the conservative take makes no sense and it's just hatred for hatred's sake -- he can't explain it to his kids without making it sound that way, because that's exactly what it is!
"Sometimes God makes people who have a boy's body and a girl's brain."
"So why are the tv people against what God did?"
"Well those people they don't have to be like that."
"But if they have a boy's body and a girl's brain, how is that their fault?"
"Goddamnit political ads you kids are too young to be exposed to this!!"
FTFY: Not that I don't agree with you or get your point, but I think you're giving a lot of conservatives way too much credit in thinking outside their box. Any part of the LGBTQ+ community is a choice to most of them.
Why talk when you can beat the gay out of them preemptively?
