Someone told me once that the gay agenda teaches kids that trans and non-binary people are real when they’re not real.
I found it interesting that they said this. It didn’t escape my notice that this person was also saying it because I’m an education specialist.
It got me thinking about a few things that I have brought together in this short piece.
Is there really a gay agenda?
Hmm… The answer to this question depends a great deal on who you ask. I’m here now, so I’ll tell you what I know.
No, there isn’t a gay agenda.
I mean, if you consider spreading awareness of the existence of LGBTQ+ communities a gay agenda, then I’m not sure what to say to you.
Over the years, awareness campaigns such as the Pride Month celebrations in June have led to a vital liberation movement for LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
So, while these liberation movements do not aim to brainwash kids (or even adults) as is often implied, it hopes to raise the voices of a minority group and promote inclusion.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that!
Trans and Non-Binary Individuals are real
Typing that heading alone felt odd, but it has to be said.
Many people quickly discount other inclinations in favor of the heteronormative, acceptable sexual and identity expressions. Whereas the more critical approach would be to achieve a fluid, tolerant stance for every human being.
In my class, there’s hardly any talk about whether I am non-binary or not. As a matter of fact, you could walk into my class and say, Oh! Desi is non-binary, and they’d give you blank stares the whole time.
I point this out often, so I also decided to discuss another critical point before I wrap up this piece.
Teach your child to be gender-fluid
While the subjects we discuss in my class aren’t centered on sexual orientations and identity expressions, it makes sense that kids know what gender-fluidity is about.
Teaching a child about gender fluidity is not a gay agenda. Instead, it’s an important inquiry process that can help them function as wholesome adults.
To be fluid means understanding and tolerating how we identify ourselves internally and present ourselves to the world. Gender fluidity is not necessarily a sexual orientation. Instead, it is an expression of one’s gender identity.
Understanding the idea behind gender fluidity brings up the exploration of pronouns and adjectives with which people would prefer to be addressed or described.
By teaching kids these nuances, they’re already equipped to understand more details about the world that surrounds them.
Move On…so they can learn other things
A better, more tolerant world where everyone has the right to exist and express themselves fully begins with inclusive, expansive education for the younger generation. Gender fluidity studies included!
That said, there’s so much more that kids can learn every new day. That’s exactly how it is in my classroom. New knowledge and new ways to learn every day.
No gay agenda and gay doctrines being pushed out. At all.
I hope this helps!
