I have admired your candor in these exchanges, up until this comment.
Sorry you feel that way, but I just find it a little disappointing that this thread went down this road and someone made this linkage. I don’t see it as a related issue.
I am also disappointed that "someone" has been conflating those two things, but it ain't anigbrowl. In case you're genuinely unaware of where that accusation comes from, an explainer: https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/06/23/lgbtq-groomers-smear-...
I’m certainly aware that “grooming” is now a political weapon, but what I am not aware of is any concerted effort to try and use that to attack marriage equality. Your snopes article does not appear to be making that case either.
Conflating homosexuality with pedophilia has been a thing since before there was a gay rights movement. Has it occurred to you that maybe your outgroup hears more of your ingroup's worst arguments than you do?
I find it kind of strange that you are conflating marriage equality and concerns over sexualizing young children together. I don’t see people using this sexualization of children as an argument against gay marriage, I see it pretty hyper-focused on the sexualization of young children.
I am wondering why you are tying them together if the folks doing it don’t seem to be.
