Catholic University hosts transgender and drag queen book display for children

And what kind of mind immediately assumes that an LGBTQA+ group is discussing sodomy? Especially since the B and T wont all find it relevant and the L and A portion definitely won’t.

Sodomy as defined by the Catholic Church is sex outside of procreative martial sex.

Why not call it a "Friends" or "Student" club if the issue isn't about sexuality?

Because the unifying aspect is people’s identity and those who support it and referring to it in euphemisms is disingenuous and silly?

People who strongly oppose it? Some people, which is completely uncalled for and unnecessary, still call gay men "sodomites."

Sodomy is traditionally anything that isn't vaginal sex. Anal and oral sex are both defined as sodomy.

I can understand what you're saying, and I think you're right. That being said, who would the middle school ask sex about? Their parents? teachers? When I was their age, neither one wanted to talk about it. My parents still get uncomfortable seeing sex scene or nudity scenes in movies.

I watched a lot of horror movies when I was a teen, and a ton of them had nudity or sex scenes in them. My parents did not like that. lol

In 2024, most of them ask Google…

That's fair. Wonder what they did back in the old days.....

It's children. I have no issue at all with adult gay clubs. They can do what-ever they want.

In my humble opinion, I don't understand why someone has to make their identity all about their sexual orientation or acts. It just doesn't make much sense to me.

Should I make a brown eyes club because I have brown eyes? Or a brown hair club because I have brown hair? An obese club because I am technically obese?

If they want to do that, that's fine. that's their right.

Adults can do what they want. That's their right. I think those with questions can find a safe adult they can trust. I'm getting into dangerous territory here, though.

Well if we are going by that overly broad definition, we better start grilling everybody about if they are having fruitful sex and are thus worthy of being in positions of authority.

I was defining what I said, not judging what adults do.

Peers and books and movies and magazines.

Or better yet, just leave consensual adults alone.

***I'm not saying it isn't sinful, it's just that I'm not God, and I cannot control anybody. That's not how it works***

Ah, yes. I wonder if anyone actually buys Playboy, Hustler, or Penthouse anymore....

Children can be and often are LGBTQA+ members or allies.

What??

Yup. They don't understand sex completely though and aren't usually mature enough for a relationship. I think sexual orientation becomes much clearer during puberty.

 

[RileyG]

What??

Those who enter puberty around 12-13. Technically, anyone under 18 (or 19 in the state of Nebraska) is a "child."

We had a redhead club in school, and clubs about people’s heritage. That doesn’t mean they’ve made that their whole identity, it means it’s an aspect that unites them with people of a common interest. I’m in gaming groups and garden clubs, but that doesn’t mean I’ve made it “my identity.” Just an aspect of myself or interests I can use to bridge the gap between people I don’t know.

I would hardly call them an "allies", especially elementary age kids.
