I was looking at a post on a Vermont page on Facebook. Someone was asking about a Pride event going on.

The hate on that post shocked me. I guess that’s why I tend to try to avoid looking at anything other than posts from my friends.

One of the people said something about a person’s sexuality not mattering, as long as they keep it in the bedroom.

So does that mean you can’t talk about your significant other unless they are of the opposite gender? I can talk about my husband, but someone else can’t talk about her partner because that partner happens to be another female?

I keep seeing mention of kids transitioning as early as 12, and that the schools are pushing it. I said something to my daughter and she rolled her eyes. It’s not happening.

I know someone who would feel more comfortable as the opposite gender. They won’t transition until after high school.

What does it matter to me how this person feels? Other than that I’m there for them, and since they’re not public on how they feel, I misgender them at school. (Note, gender purposely hidden by they/them pronouns.)

I’m Christian, I get the idea that God doesn’t make mistakes. So what about the ones who are different? The kids who die early, the ones with depression who feel they can’t go another day?

The crusades proved that you can’t force someone to change their beliefs. Why are we fighting them again? Telling you that others have different beliefs and that you can’t force your beliefs on them is not discrimination.

Dunno, maybe I’m just getting set in my ways. No one is forcing me to believe something other than what I believe. I don’t feel discriminated against because someone else is Muslim or Wiccan.  It has no bearing on whether I choose to be nice to them.
