    I feel bad for the children in this picture. Personally I think this is child abuse. Forcing politics / religion on children should be fucking illegal.

      Absolutely. Me too.

      Personally I think this is child abuse. Forcing politics / religion on children should be fucking illegal.

      That’s hard though. The kids obviously have fun, it’s a game for them.

      So what’s the abuse? Them giving the finger? Come on… Them unknowingly giving a (wrong?) political message? Yeah, we all know where that would lead to.

        The abuse is filling impressionable minds with lies and hate, when they are the most vulnerable. That shit will scar you for life.

        Look, if you want to have ostentatious heteronormative sexuality in your own home, that’s fine, just keep it away from my kids.

      If they made indoctrination illegal religion would disappear in two generations. So I support it.

        From my experience growing up going to a Baptist church this is a Christians wet dream. You would think indoctrination or religion is illegal based on some sermons I’ve had to sit through.

    Oh! Look how happy those little girls are! Probably because they just learned that Stay-At-Home-Mom isn’t the only acceptable career for a woman.

        For a moment I wasn’t sure if you were talking about the people in the picture or some of the users here.

    Why are most of their palms facing outward?

    I’ve never seen it done that way. It seems really uncomfortable and a bad way to to transition into a fistfight if shit’s about to go down.

    Sorry, what’s this have to do with Christian values? I don’t see the connection.

      Assuming you are asking in good faith. The Christian/Evangelicals are the prominent group of people screaming about values and banning drag and other things they hate (LGBTQ, healthcare/abortion, immigration, voting, etc), while simultaneously being seemingly ok with stuff like this. It is quite blatantly hypocritical. It’s all projection and hypocrisy and bigotry.

        It’s not the evangelicals alone, the party itself is using the argument “for the children” as a cudgel to beat the opposition with. They want to say they simply find trans people and anyone who does drag disgusting, but they have to use the children as an example of innocence being ruined by their opposition.

        It’s just a political weapon, and as usual for Republicans it’s “rules for thee and none for me.”

          Exactly! And if you go look up the statistics, even accounting for populations and all that you will find that it is RELIGIOUS LEADERS and FAMILY (uncles and cousins or parents I think) that commit most of the CSA. Not drag queens or trans people.

          If they ACTUALLY cared about protecting kids they would be going after every church with full investigations and lawsuits galore. Instead they cover them up and brush them off with drivel like “Oh well he wasn’t a Christian then” despite the fact they probably were a pastor or youth leader and did it in the church building itself many times.

          Wild.

      My roommate has one with two straps that go around the thigh, instead of one around the waist. She loves it.

      I have a fanny pack/ bum bag that I use for surfing. Having an extra strap to hold it flat on my thigh would be super useful, but it has to be watertight.

      Edit: for anyone confused, yes, those two terms refer to the same thing, we just call it a different thing depending on which side of the pond you’re on. As I understand it, fanny refers to something quite different in the UK.
