Because it never was about children, they're just an excuse.

*an excuse to harm people who don’t think like them.

Their olive branches turned to spears.

Right. It's about forcing the types of people the backwards of society are most uncomfortable with into the shadows, in the name of "saving children," the same children they don't give two shits about

There is no logic behind it. We do ourselves a disservice by treating their warped morality as anything other than bigotry that should be squelched.

my sister once did one of the [hopefully] non-pedophile ones. it was so weird and unpleasant and frivolous and strange at every stage -- a hybrid of awful stage mothers / dance mothers / cheerleading mothers plus very very insidious and insane body shaming

Its not about protecting children from abuse and manipulation, its about protecting children from growing up into intelligent, compassionate people who won't vote red.
