LGBTQ+ is confusing!

Our local paper, the Charlotte “Fishwwrap” ran a large article about the gay community in NC. The headline was “A harsh new anti-LGBTQ bill is coming to NC.” Readers might think that somehow a new law will oppress or criminalize the gays in NC.

The headline was unnecessarily inflammatory, published to keep gay issues stirring.

The LGBTQ community is about 7% of the population. For residents in NC older that 55, that percentage is 2%. I support equal rights for gays, but the information I read is confusing. Here is an example:

The “harsh” new bill being proposed would prohibit public schools from teaching gender identity, sexuality, and sex activity to children in K-6 grades. I agree! But do not understand why this action is so “harsh” against the LGBTQ group. Parents do not want a 25-year-old kindergarten teacher to show sex acts to 5- and 6-year-olds. Who could possibly support this madness? Imagine trying to teach a 5-year-old about non-binary or reverse trans trending genders??

The local media just wants headlines, and newspaper sales! The gay community is being used.
