Polydoros, 27, says he feels safer in Canada. But nationwide protests in September over LGBTQ-inclusive school policies disturbed him.

Many demonstrations were held under the same name, “1 Million March 4 Kids.” Organizers say children should not be taught about LGBTQ identities in school, which they say amounts to the “indoctrination and sexualization” of children.

    If they’re looking for large groups who want to “indoctrinate and sexualize” children, they need look no further than the church

      Not convenient RE: the (minority) they want to target.

      They’ll keep hating what the rich tell them to hate; all we can do is bullwark against it.

      A few weeks ago there was a post on how much gambling advertising is in Sports these days. I looked on the numbers on Canadian gambling addiction and it certainly seems to be much more widespread.

      Don’t really think I’ve really seen any of them complain about that. They just seem have a really unhealthy infatuation about sex.

      Does anyone know when being religious stopped being gay?

      I’ve talked to people my age all over Ontario and we just assumed it was the kids not being intolerant anymore but it seems weird for them to be enemies

        Most popular religions seem to be anti-gay, so I don’t really know what you are trying to ask.

          20 years ago gay was an insult

          If people at school found out you went to church or believed in god then you’d get beaten up/be an outcast

            Bro what are you talking about. Christians have been the majority forever. Not believing in God makes you the outlier, not the other way around.

            I think it was closer to 25 year, maybe even 30 years in some parts. I remember people beginning to realize how bigoted it was to use gay as an insult prior to gay marriage being legalized in 2005.

              20 years would have been before 2005 but Harper got elected the first time on the promise of making it illegal again so it didn’t go away after that
