Kids ARE Being Groomed, but Not How You've Been Told
Let's be clear: the false narrative that links grooming with LGBTQ+ individuals is nothing but a despicable lie, born out of hatred and ignorance.
The truth is that most child sexual abusers are heterosexual. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with it.
What's at play is a sick and twisted desire for power, not love.
Yes, kids ARE being groomed – prepped, taught, indoctrinated, predisosed – but what they are being groomed for is hate and conditional love and bigotry.
We are being played with this false narrative and enough is enough.
