oxymoron

A request for our LGBTQ+ allies. [View all]

Please do not include us in the discussion of pedophilia, on any level. It is the ugliest of the right-wing talking points that we endure daily. Whether it be a conversation about a flag or a seemingly minor issue, we don't need our side bolstering their hateful accusations. I know it's often unintentional, but keep in mind the optics.

Thanks!
