Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What pedo movement?
MAPs are NOT and have never been part of the LGBTQI+ Community
Thats like you putting on a lab-coat and strolling into an operating room, claiming to be there to do a surgery. To the confused look of everyone involved.
Its deliberately dishonest and a repeated argument to discredit the movement. It should be common knowledge at this point, but the right-wing never bothered with the truth.
Remember: Its always projection! The most pedo stuff is going on in the church and religious / conservative homes
Every single letter in that row, and any future letters will always be between 2 consenting entities.
Children can not give consent, neither can animals. Both miss the cognitive functions to do so.
Maybe at some point you'll be shot dead by the cops with your cock stuffed into the family dog.
Just saying.
You're not "just saying" you're actively spreading anti-LGBTQ right-wing talking points.
And no, pedophiles would never be accepted into the LGBTQ community because there's no consent in that kind of relationship. The LGBTQ movement is about the freedom of adults to love and be in relationships with whomever they wish, not for adults to prey on children who cannot consent to such a relationship.
QIA+ was always a part of the community. Only recently did people feel the need to explicitly give them their own letter. Pedophilia isn't a sexual orientation nor a gender identity. And there are more straight pedos than there are queer ones, so go make your own straight pedo community.
"If we allow the gays to marry, what will be next? Marrying their dogs?"
Fuck off with your slippery slope bullshit. You have an incredible opportunity before you - making the world a better place by just shutting the fuck up. Most people have to invest a lot of time and effort to make things better. Not you! You can, right now, improve the state of the world by deciding not to say such stupid things again. I sincerely hope you take it!
