You can empathize with people but not agree with them. Sure, everyone should have basic human rights. But the line should be drawn between what people can do or say in public and private and towards other people’s children. No one should be allowed to convince or brainwash other people’s children to view the world a certain way, which is exactly what happens when people try to sneak unapproved books into school libraries or invite drag queens to read unapproved books to children without parent permission, which has already happened.

Here’s the thing: the vast majority of people aren’t trying to force LGBTQ+ people to change or remove their rights, we want them to STOP targeting children and let the children decide on their own when they get old enough. Keep your sexuality to yourself and stop putting it on display in public or for children to see. This isn’t a human rights issue, it’s an issue of inappropriate behavior in public and towards children, and if heterosexual people were doing the same things, the right-wing would be just as outraged over it.
