    I’m not changing the narrative, I am pointing out that there is no objective standard for proven harms, at best in a cohesive society you can get a general agreement on something like that, but there is always going to be the possibility of it being manipulated by a bad actor in power. Do you really think it would be beyond a hard right government to dredge up some “studies” showing that the “gay agenda” is damaging kids?

    We all know its bollocks but that wouldn’t stop them abusing a precedent set now.

      Yes, there is a possibility that a malicious actor may fabricate “studies”, im not denying that - in fact I agree with your comment.

      It is important to realise that by supporting such efforts people will get hurt. Of course, banning isnt a valid option, and certainly not bans which concentrate within a particular minority.

      It is those who let this happen that should dace the consequences - not the people, not the minorities and not anyone (regardless of gender, race or age). It may have appeared that I support banning but I dont.
