@PhilWhomfield@I_amMukhtar You have conflated privilege and elite. You could have had privilege and not be an elitist. You could have had nothing, gotten everything and become an elite.
Succeeding doesn’t necessarily meet you are an elitist…but again it would need to be properly defined.
My kids knew from a young age about reproduction and human anatomy. No issues there.
I would say that is not the purpose of Pride events at all. Do what you want in your own privacy if it’s consensual and not with kids.
But the below shows that Pride events can be a lot more than what you are saying.
That may be true for many pride events. But I’ve seen quite a few where it is completely inappropriate. That would be the same if it were heterosexual. There is zero reason for kids to have that kind of access. I’ve got kids - there is no benefit to put sexual activity to them early. No good reason anyway.
Hey, live and let live. I was all for equal rights and no discrimination. All good. And yes, celebrate if you wish.
But when you take over a whole environment, shops, profiles, buses, political buildings, sidewalks, classrooms…it’s now a group thing and not private. At that point you are in a shared world. And open to comment and opinion. Most people happy to let you be, but we don’t want the sexuality part shoved in our faces. And certainly not near kids.
He’s right. We would love that. But that’s not reality. It’s not the reality many live.
Most people don’t live in multi-million pound secure homes in affluent areas.
Many live down the road from 100s of unvetted, too often angry, barbaric males who are sexually starved. But let’s ignore them and join hands and sing kumbaya.
It’s not a skin color issue. It’s a cultural and safety issue.
You are limiting range and identity when you focus on one aspect. I am more than a dozen things simultaneously. And expanding into more all the time. Doesn’t matter what aspect you pick, focusing on one is limiting.
Doesn’t matter if I’m the majority, I am very much a minority in other things.
I prefer to defined, if anything, by the good I do for others…not my sexual preferences. One for example is in service, and not to myself.
I’m not a Farage fan.
But this is a systemic problem. It is therefore a societal and political issue. Does the pain hit the family the most, of course. My heart breaks for them. But it also breaks for those in the future who will be victims if the point isn’t discussed and confronted.
@martindvz I do not want to be controlled by unelected bureaucrats abroad. Our own politicians are bad enough.
Always err on side of small government. People in power rarely have your good intentions in mind. Smaller better.
