Most gay men will tell you the same thing. They weren't abused, and they always knew they were gay or different in some way.
Those statistics evidencing environmental determination of sexuality are especially important in the context of what young children are being taught. Do we want to create an environment that leads to biological normal sexual relations or sexual relations which obviate the very purpose of our sexual reproductive system?
TXAGFAN said:This stat again and damaging and false premise that most gay men are molested. They weren't.RWWilson said:
Children aren't born gay, they are, by and large, recruited to the LGBTQ+. The statistics are clear. How else to explain Forty-six percent of the homosexual men in contrast to 7% of the heterosexual men reported homosexual molestation. You may be born more or less masculine or feminine, but you aren't "born that way".

Get a new schtick and take your derail somewhere else. As a gay man I can't even fathom how people think you can be recruited into this or would choose this life.

Nope. So much wrong in this. I think you just make stuff up. I wasn't molested, at all... not even a hint of itl. Most will tell you the same.
I do find that bisexual men were often abused as children...
So, likely heterosexual boys (as is the statistical norm) were abused and now have confusions about their sexuality.
That's the logical conclusion to your statement.
And people wonder why there is a parental resistance to opening up sexual topics to children from teachers and drag queens.
That's quite a leap you've made. Getting raped as a child and sexual education are not comparable.
I've done nothing here but cite studies and statistics. You have done nothing more than engage in ad hominem, bring my family members into it, and attempt to derail the thread.

Your evidence is mostly made up and cherry picked by nut jobs or very dated studies.
I've been having these debates on this board since the year 2000. Just because you're next man up, doesn't mean I have to entertain. I mean, are you really here to have a debate? There's other threads where you basically talk about how gays are predatory pedofiles without fail. How could we ever find common ground?
Look man, I'm sorry about your brother, but gays aren't the enemy. You're blinded by anger and emotion. Honestly, you give me the creeps and I think I may know you personally?

And yet instead of talking about real issues, you're all crying in the corner over drag queens.
The argument boils down to whether children are positively or negatively affected by LGBTQ+ theory and propaganda. Homosexuals will say, "it does no harm". My contention is that environment, training, and modeling greatly influence future behavior of children and we should thus encourage normal male/female relations and discourage other "abnormal" relations. I suspect most people agree and that bothers homosexuals.Urban Ag said:
Another epic F16 disaster. The purpose of the thread was to discuss/debate proposed legislation in Texas pertaining to topics of sexuality in public grades schools.
First major derail was TXAGFAN declaring our schools suck anyway and therefore it's a waste of time when we have bigger problems. So now we have to take a dive in to what is really driving the problems in our schools, instead of staying on the topic of said legislation.
From there it devolves in to another deep dive on what makes gays tick. Personal insults ensue. We're nowhere close to the original topic. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria.
Perfect.
I guess.
You are correct.Urban Ag said:Ok. Hate to break this to you but I will.TXAGFAN said:This post made in sarcasm speaks to how stupid the dialogue on this is. The fraction of teachers who step outside of bounds this law proposes are not the issue in Texas' education system, which ranks 34th (various measures for education all seem to place Texas in bottom half). In Florida I thought this legislation was a waste of time; but they're rated significantly higher at #3 in the same ranking I just looked at for Texas (US News and World Reports) so they may have some time to deal with smaller issues.C@LAg said:
kids today can't read , use proper grammar or do math, but BY GOD!!!!!!! they know their pronouns and when to use them
Embarrassing. State that says they care about kids does nothing meaningful to help them relative to other states.
We share the longest border with a dysfunctional third world failed country of any state in the union.
We literally educate Mexico, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and everyone else that comes across.
We are not comparable to any other state in that regard, not even California. Texas faces a unique and ultimately broken education system that can't be fixed in the current political climate (that you vote for).
My wife, who has spent her entire career in public education, was just telling me today about how brushing up on her spanish in recent months was really helping her help other teachers with the huge influx of third world kids in her school - direct result of the democrat sanctioned border disaster.
Measure Texas schools that are predominantly American native born and/or legal immigrant students (India) and we do just fine (outside the deep metro areas of a certain demo). In fact, we are quite competitive. The 10% rule is a boon to neighboring states and the southeast who offer in state college tuition for all those great Texas students that don't make the top 10% because their high school is just that competitive. Tennessee is currently courting my oldest son with scholarship offers (he's on the 10% bubble). My buddy's daughter just got a full ride academic to Bama (she's right at the 12% mark at Liberty Hill).
Don't be too embarrassed. Us good parents and the good educators we partner with are doing our best in an impossible situation but we'll be fine.

This will face opposition from LGBTQ+ crowd using the same tactics they have for 30 years, The entire strategy is based on 1) "we are born this way", 2) "heterosexuality is no more desirable than homosexuality" and 3) "if you think otherwise you are a bigot who is victimizing others".
In their 1989 book, After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the '90s, the gay authors wrote: "In any campaign to win over the public, gays must be portrayed as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to adopt the role of protector. . . . The public should be persuaded that gays are victims of circumstance, that they no more chose their sexual orientation than they did, say, their height, skin color, talents, or limitations. . . . Gays should be portrayed as victims of prejudice."
To their credit, their planned propaganda campaign was very successful. Now it is time to roll it back.
The "we are born this way" narrative really takes a hit when you look at things like this:
So just like the original "don't say gay" bill. It said no such thing.Agthatbuilds said:
