If teachers could brainwash kids to the point of changing their sexual orientation, wouldn't all schoolchildren become well-read, polite and clean well before they turn trans or gay?

No. Turning gay is very easy. All it takes is seeing two dudes kissing and you're done. Maintaining your straightness requires constant vigilance.

Of COURSE gay is a choice. I CHOOSE to be heterosexual. It's not an easy choice, but it's a choice I make every single morning. I don't understand how the rest of the world doesn't understand this. They're just waking up every day allowing teh ghey to overtake their spirit? How can ANYONE choose to live like that?

Stay strong brother! Just remember: if you fail, you will be butt raped by beefcake demons for all eternity. Nobody could possibly want that, right?

I chose to be straight so I'm going to heaven. Unlike my husband whose gay and is going straight to hell.

May his straight way be reason enough to earn redemption

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

Very true. I learned I could become a girl and suddenly I was trans if I ever stopped re insisting I was a boy.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago

also by that logic there should be no gay or trans schoolchildren as homophobia and transphobia were in the curriculum way before queer people began to be accepted-ish in the society

Fucking seriously. The goons most likely to respond to this kind of propaganda are also usually the parents of the kids who aren't listening to a damn thing the teachers say anyways.

We can't take that risk
