When they say, “We’re coming for your children,” believe them

Commentary

For years, Canadians have proved receptive to basic rights demands, as well as entitlements, for those who variously identify as “trans,” “non-binary” or “queer.” These rights, even those that infringe on women’s rights, are supported by the government and most of the media. They extend to all our cultural, therapeutic and social institutions.

The one domain in which we are witnessing a tidal wave of citizen resistance is K-12 pedagogy, true Queer theory– a gendered form of Marxism that rejects the “normal” in sexuality, including the idea of ​​childhood “innocence” – is systematically imposed on vulnerable minds, with or without parental consent. Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) has become the cynosure of parental unrest.

A recent video clip of naked Pride protesters chanting “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your kids,” went viral. LGBTQ spin doctors claimed the words were “taken out of context.” That raises the question of why male drag queens no longer stay in their alley of adult entertainment. What acceptable “context” encourages children to “to twerk” (“you just move your buttocks up and down like that”) – an act that simulates sexual intercourse?

A majority of Canadians consider such organized sexualized messages to young children a bridge too far. They no longer believe that DQSH is ‘family friendly’ or purely ‘entertainment’. Some call it for what it is: “grooming,” building children’s confidence in men with an agenda that goes far beyond teaching about “diversity.” That’s what they say at protests against, for example, a four-day march sleep theater camp in BC

In a news report, a progressive journalist regretted this wave of backlash, particularly the use of the word “groomer” by some protesters as a “homophobic” trope, which, the journalist writes, “was used, according to proponents, to defame the LGBTQ2+ community in the 1970s and 1980s ‘. It is true that a vocal subgroup of gay people were vilified in the 1970s and 1980s. However, a little research would have yielded information that could have tempered the journalist’s outrage.

In 1969 the Information exchange about pedophiles (PIE), a special interest group advocating for the abolition of the age of sexual consent, became the first LGBT organization in Scotland, to label gay rights activism and child abuse lobbying as closely intertwined causes there. From 1974 to 1984, PIE campaigned openly across the United Kingdom to normalize pedophilia as a legally and culturally acceptable practice. Those were the sexually liberated times, they were taken seriously even at the elite level gain support from then Secretary of Labor Patricia Hewitt for policies such as lowering the age of consent to 10 and decriminalizing incest. PIE activists were tactically sophisticated in their networks and burned down pedophiles like one oppressed sexual minorityjust like gays and lesbians.

Here is PIE’s alter ego the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), still nominally active, although radically reduced in number. Still in 2005 one lawyer called it “a vocational school for pedophiles.” In the 1970s, NAMBLA attracted support of prominent gays, such as beat poet Allen Ginsberg, and was a member of the International Lesbian and Gay Association until 1994. Finally, the Human Rights Campaign, which would become the largest LGBT advocacy group in the United States, stated: “NAMBLA is not a gay organization … and we reject their attempts to insinuate that pedophilia is an issue related to gay and lesbian civil rights, thoroughly.

Nevertheless, NAMBLA’s website states that true to its philosophy, its goal remains “to end the extreme oppression of men and boys in mutually consensual relationships” by “educating the general public about the benevolent nature of love between man and boy” through “cooperat[ion] with lesbian, gay, feminist and other liberation movements.” The general public should not be expected to dissect the distinction between “not a gay organization” and “cooperating with lesbian, gay … movements”. When the only people who publicly promote pedophilia self-identify as gay, the fact that they are a subgroup of LGB people, not the norm, can be lost on common people.

An interview from 1983 with two PIE representatives on News Night offers insight into the creepiness of their strategy. They did not say they were campaigning for the right of 50-year-old men to have sex with seven-year-olds. They talked about children’s right to sexual liberation. Challenged to admit that sex is “shocking” for a child, one of the men says, “Not if they’re properly trained…”

“Well educated.” Today, under the banner of Queer Theory—which recognizes no boundaries of traditional sexual morality, decency, or age-appropriateness—that would mean exposing children, against the wishes of many parents but with the blessing of the educational elite to what used to be known as porn, like the graphic memoir,”Genderqueer.”

And of course, defended as “education” on gender diversity and inclusion, the continued interaction of children with drag queens. Among the transvestites touring schools and libraries, a small but disgusting list of sex offenders has been exposed. Alarm bells are ringing, and not just with conservatives. Rational gays and lesbians – LGBs – feel infected by the obsession with children inherent in Queer Theory. It is remarkable that no foreign theorist of influence has ever condemned acting out of pedophile desire. Thus the commendable (but unfortunately so far fringe) organization”Gays against groomerswas created to counter the damage Queer Theory is doing to the LGB’s hard-earned brand of non-threatening normality.

DQSH’s agenda is set for January 2021 paper published in Curriculum Inquiry magazine entitled “Drag Pedagogy: The Playful Practice of Queer Imagination in Early Childhood,” co-authored by media studies doctoral student and drag queen Lil Miss Hot Mess (by “swing swing swing‘fame) and trans-identified queer theorist Harper Keenan.

The authors acknowledge that DQSH is intended not only as a model for learning “about queer lives”, but also “how live strange.They write: ‘The future is the domain of queerness. … The here and now is a prison.” (Translation: The traditional family home is a prison for children.) And in particular: “DQSH may be ‘family friendly’ in that it is accessible and inviting for families with children, but it is less of a disinfectant. force than that it is a preliminary introduction to alternative forms of kinship.” (Translation: We are your children’s new family.)

For readers seeking a fully informed, in-depth disclosure of this candid and revealing magazine article, I recommend a seminar with indispensable cultural Marxism expert James Lindsay through his New Discourses podcast episode,”Groomer School 4: Drag Queen Story Hour.”

Forget ‘context’. When they say, “we’re coming for your children,” believe them.
