I have LG(B) friends who fought hard to be able to live peaceful lives, without looking over their shoulders or hiding in the shadows. They never wanted to publicise or politicise their reasons for doing this, just quietly live their lives in peace. They are angry about the activism, theatricalisation, pushing their lives into public places and faces, and essentially the leeching into their years of hard work to be let be to live.

Plus angry about the pathologising of adolescence, creating mental health difficulties where there may not need to be angst, and for children who may yet discover their LG-ness; wiping out of new generations of vulnerable and sensitive young people who have yet to discover themselves.

Either way, I just see this as indoctrination and grooming on an alarming scale.

And I also see the irresponsibility of governments in not protecting the mental health of our children, nor safety of both women and children in society.

And in doing so, destroying so much for the original 'pride' communities.

The politicising and hijacking of women's, children's, and gay rights makes me FURIOUS.
