The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Why does the GOP target transgender people?
There's not a shred of evidence that they are threats to anyone.
All they want is to live peacefully as their true selves. - vsg


----------------------

I have no problem or issue with the trans people or the drag scene in general. They are adults who have made a choice that I wouldn't make but like you say, chill and live peacefully. In fact, I find the drag queens fun and interesting. I am referring to the campy showy RuPaul sort of drag queen, not the bump and crotch grinding type.

However, when they insist that tolerance requires involving your children in their lifestyle is where I draw the line. This is especially so when they collude with some school boards and teachers in keeping these programs secret from the children's parents.

Live your life, leave the kids alone, and you would find most conservatives have no problem with you.
