I grew up in the 80s and 90s. I remember quite clearly the Christians who were against the increased acceptance of homosexuality in the culture, and how they were mocked and pilloried by the mainstream media at the time.

“They’re coming for your kids, just you wait!”

“Oh come on, that slippery slope isn’t going to happen!”

And now, we have this:

So normalized has such deviancy become that we can no longer say, “This is bad! This is evil!” without being mocked.

What I honestly have a hard time understanding is how parents can let their children be exposed to this. Are your children not important enough, precious enough, to be protected from those who would prey directly on their innocence?

The whole point of childhood is to bring up your kids to be functional adults. Part of that is providing them with morals so that they can discern between good and evil, and choose the good.

Yes, they will need to be aware of what evil looks like, but you don’t hand over your child to pedophiles to teach them about evil any more than you throw them off a bridge onto a busy interstate to teach them about the dangers of heights and traffic.

#NotAllDragQueens, sure. But you know what? They don’t appear to be doing much to strip pedophiles from their ranks. And if they’re not going to take that responsibility, you must.
