OPINION: 'Lies, stereotypes, hatred, and violence continue to push marginalized communities to the margins of society or, in the case of the LGBTQ+ community, back into the depths of the closet,' writes DeeTwoCents
—the belief that white evangelical Americans are exclusively responsible for what makes America great, and that their greatness is being disregarded as the country’s demographics shift and ancient norms are challenged—would exit the stage in disgrace with him.
Instead, the dehumanization, criminalization, and erasure of Black people, Black culture, and Black history have made up the blueprint for every “other” group’s cultural expurgation from the mainstreams of society. Lies, stereotypes, hatred, and violence continue to push marginalized communities to the margins of society or, in the case of the LGBTQ+ community, back into the depths of the closet.
But white evangelicals, masquerading as adults who are merely concerned about the welfare of children, rain rage and fury onto the LGBTQ+ community by slandering queer teachers as pedophiles or groomers. These false accusations are as old as time, but were used in the mid-20th century to pass legislation outlawing queer people from adopting, teaching, and connecting with youth. All of this was orchestrated under the guise of “protecting the children.
All of this is to prevent the “indoctrination” of children to believe that love is love, gender is a construct, and that children have the power to command being treated with dignity and respect regardless of what they look like, who they love, and whether they fall into the binary or outside of it. There is, in fact, a real crisis in our country. More children are on antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications than ever before. More children are attempting suicide.Perhaps forcing them to army crawl before they learn their ABCs—or living in terror that their school will be the next one with a body count in the headlines—has a little something to do with it?
