If you're ever at an anti-LGBTQ march "for the children", ask these bigots why they aren't marching against the sexual exploitation of children in local parishes.

They will stutter on their words, I guarantee. Seeing this strategy in action is hilarious and highly effective!

    I've asked this question several times.

    Name one drag queen who has ever been convicted of grooming and sexually abusing children.

    I said to someone once, "There are branches of several international organizations in town that have a centuries old well documented history of grooming and sexually abusing millions of children worldwide then hiding the abuse and moving the abusers to other locations so that they can continue to groom and sexually abuse children. These are the same organizations that are telling you that drag queens are the problem. Why aren't you protesting them? "

    That's a bold but risky move, I wouldn't bet the argument on someone having dug up some obscure examples. The set of people in drag has to contain at least one, and using a 'gotcha' like that could backfire.

    But you're right, they do seem exceedingly rare. Like, weirdly rare compared to the general population, even.

    (pedo drag queens) they do seem exceedingly rare

    This is because interest in expressing one's fabulousness and interest in abusing kids are radically different things. People become drag queens because they are too fabulous to be contained by a single gender and they have to hold it in with Spanx. People become religious leaders because they are trusted positions of power which can provide an opportunity for them to abuse kids and other vulnerable groups with little risk of consequences.

    The Vancouver protest did well, outnumbering the assfaces by quite a bit. Multiples, maybe 5:1. Hard to tell.

    Their talking points were incoherent and inconsistent. One person will tell you that they only care about teaching children and have nothing against trans people, and the next person will start screaming THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS.

    Their chant game was absolute shit, they clearly hadn't workshopped for cadence or pithiness.

    Lots of American politics mixed in, lots of attempts to shame the crowd about "free speech", they got a couple kids up to scream at the crowd.

    The protest in Nanaimo today saw a larger attendance by the Pro-SOGI side. We had better flags and banners. We took the high ground with our numbers.

    All overshadowed by "Zillion march for Zorg the destroyer".

    Never heard of this site, and thought some of the details were a little weird, but then totally realized the satire by the time I got to "first ammendment rights as a Canadian"

    Bigots are always a small group with outsized volume. Just like mal-adjusted chihuahuas. And like chihuahuas suffering ‘little dog syndrome’, when they try to bite, they can be punted across the room with prejudice.

    (Note that I do not condone kicking small, obnoxious dogs. That was a joke. I do condone kicking fascists, however.)

    I am offended. My brain kept going BOINK by reading LGTBQ while expecting LGBTQ.

    Fuck you, whoever wrote that title.

    Saw a bunch of these "peaceful" conservatives ripping pride flags from peoples hands. Especially that one nasty old witch ripping it out of a dudes lap from behind him, when he was sitting by himself on a wall.

    Never saw the same from the other side.
