You're right. They should be though. And they would if there was a credible threat from them.

Christofacists at it again. But, ya, totally cool stuff going on here...nothing to worry about.

There is no limit to the hate they have. Good thing they have the freedom of religion to practice this hate while they take over the government. Cool, cool.

Is there hate in the picture? I mean I'm not a huge fan of all the gender identity stuff aimed at kids these days and I couldn't be less religious. I don't have the answers but I disagree that kids' movies, books and elementary schools are the place to start looking at gender identity. I also don't think anything prepubescent should have any sort of gender, lgbtq slant or angle in it.
Am I a Christofascist now?

Your ignorance is showing. Elementary school is the time when the vast majority of LGBTQ people realize there's something different about themselves, and the only books aimed at that age group are simply about acceptance, telling those kids there's nothing wrong with how they feel. Look at this list of LGBTQ books you might find in a school library

Is there anything on there you honestly have a problem with?

Is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" not a real thing?
Is a gathering of like minded people, in a spirit of community, honestly trying to make life better for everyone, not a real thing?
Is love for yourself and others, using your talents, time and money in the service of others not a real thing?
Is telling the truth not a real thing?
You may not be a believer but surely you have some idea as to what religion is trying to do, in spite of what your cynical mind is telling you.

You don't need religion to spell out that treat others like you would like them to treat you is a good thing

Really? All I see is gatherings of like minded people trying to make life better for themselves at the expense of other groups of like minded people

Again, you don't need religion to engage in charity work

This is the funniest of them all. The history of religion is about suppressing the truth and punishing those who speak it, truth and facts are the enemy of organized religion

That post says their protest at city hall was yesterday. Did it happen, are there pictures? Was it one of those things where like 4 weirdos stand in front of city hall with baseball helmets on claiming they're defending our freedom?

Absolutely there is. "I am Jazz", "Julian is a mermaid" and all the other books aimed at 4-8 year olds that portray children as having identified their genders or sexualities. Stonewall:A building, an uprising and a revolution (for 5-8 year olds).
On the other hand I have no issue with the books that portray same sex parents or gay adults. I have no issue with Modern Family or anything that's not aimed at young children who don't possess the capacity to understand any of it.
That's just my personal feeling on the matter anyways. I'm not here to cast judgment on how people live their lives, I really don't care and have never considered any prejudice against the LGBTQ community. Just not sure why this is all at the forefront the past couple of years, you didn't see this kind of push for any other disparaged groups of people.

If you’re being honest with yourself, I bet you’ve never had a single issue with any children’s book where the characters are cisgender and/or straight,
It’s literally almost all of them. Reading to my friend’s kid, there are plenty of books where boy penguins are in love with girl penguins (swap the animals for dinosaurs, or people, or whatever). The are literally countless books with boys that identify as boys and girls that identify as girls.
You’re using children as a way to excuse your dislike or distrust of lgbtq people.

Like it or not, there are many kids under 10 who already know that genders of their body and mind don't match. Don't they deserve some kind of validation to know that they aren't broken? Or are they supposed to just push those feelings down and act "normal"? And there is no "push" from the LGBTQ community, there are simply more books and media targeting their group because it's becoming more acceptable for them to admit who they are. Don't feed into the culture war bull#### being imported from the US, there is no indoctrination or force feeding of any ideals

If you want to debate in a reasonable and respectful manner the merits and drawbacks of this type of education backed by fact and rigorous studies, I have no problem with that, and it in no way makes you a Christofacist.
If, however, you have the ear of the premier, have helped nominate and get elected many members who share your hateful views and have actual voting power, and your only source for your hate is misinterpreting a 2000 year old book and the edicts of flawed men and you want to use that power to ridicule and fuel hatred and attacks against a community and push for government repression throguh the powers you have gained, then yes, you are probably a Christofacist.
I guess I don't see where this is all so complicated and confusing.

Sadly this is not a conspiracy. There is a well defined strategy to influence and takeover the organs of power. Read about “the seven mountains” to gain more insight into this movement.

Looks like maybe a couple hundred people there, although I can't tell if some of that crowd in the background are maybe counter-protesting?
It's a shame that people like this still exist in 2023. What a bunch of pathetic, bigoted losers.

Keep the division flowing no days off 24/7 , worry about everyone but yourself.
Everyone has to cheer for what you believe or something is wrong.
