I don’t post pictures of drag queens. Here’s a nice scarlet tanager instead.
Tennessee a few days ago became the first state to ban “drag queen” shows on public property near schools, including schools (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tennessee-becomes-first-state-ban-drag-shows-public-property-near-schools). The state also banned “gender transition surgery” for minors.
Other states seem poised to do the same–Idaho, Kentucky, North Dakota, Montana, Oklahoma, and Utah.
We need to pray it’s not too late. It already is too late for some–children who will be sterile, and in need of medical attention, for the rest of their lives.
This is an inexplicable chapter of world history, this transgender mania. Maybe it’s the work of Satan. Nothing else seems to account for it.
Even so, we can rejoice that at least some of our states are trying to save the ship before it sinks.
When I was in my teens, living in a pleasant suburb of Denver, there were sexual things going on, including some very notorious strip clubs, bars, etc. Fortunately, these were nowhere near residential areas, and even if my youthful curiosity had overcome my better judgement, I couldn’t have reached such places because they were too far away, and even if had been able to access them geographically, I wouldn’t have been old enough to get in. We were protected, by laws which kept such things away from minors.
Civil law allows all sorts of sexual activity, in most places, but it restricts such activities to persons above the legal age of consent. In my opinion, exposing minors to such materials carries with it the risk that they could be lured into activities before they have the maturity to realize the significance of these things.
In my opinion, parents are in the best position to provide such information, and most importantly, to know the maturity level of their offspring. They can also present this in a manner consistent with the values they wish to pass along to their children. Once those children reach the age of majority, they can tale responsibility for their own decisions.
Good for TN!
