A nine-year-old video published by Queer Kid Stuff outraged some parents with its message about activism and inclusion.

    Sounds like Queer propaganda targeted at very young children. I dont like that. Sex ed should be like some like this and some like that and thats OK.

    But all this pride history talking with a bear? How creepy do you wanna be? OF COURSE kids come home and tell parents they wanna be gay because of the video. And OF COURSE parents get angry.

    I dont care who you fuck with in your bedroom but dont bring this topic up in an elementary school.

      It’s not at all what you claim it to be. It has nothing to do with sexual activity. By the way it’s framed, it sounds tantamount to “queer people exist. here are the troubles they’ve faced.”

      It also sounds like there was, at best, a supportive take. Telling kids that it’s ok to love who they want to love is not the worst thing in the world. It isn’t indoctrination, it’s education.

      I haven’t watched the video mentioned in the article, but it sounds like the kind of education one might receive about a black jazz musician who grew up poor in the South and the difficulties they might have faced. What made them who they are and where they might have drawn inspiration from. It’s cultural and like it or not, there is a large and growing queer culture.
