Sometimes I find it difficult to write. Not for lack of subject matter, there is plenty to talk about, but due to the pushed narratives that have come to overshadow normal healthy dialogue. The country’s conversations are being dictated by a small percentage of people with very loud voices. Bolstered by the media, certain political factions, and the new “you offend me” card that is played daily, they are running a side show with little room for interjection. It is frustrating, and more importantly dangerous.

I am particularly disturbed by the obsession with sexual orientation and gender issues that are continually presented with what seems like deliberate enticement to join a hip new group. Marketed to school age children and now in some department stores, even babies. What on earth has happened here?

I remember growing up being taught to be aware of my audience when speaking. If there were elderly around, I knew to converse differently than I would if I were in a group of individuals who shared my age bracket. Likewise, if children were in earshot, you certainly kept conversations G-Rated and age appropriate. However, today it seems that any talk of sex related topics is amplified, especially when children are in earshot.

I’m confused. How did society somehow conclude that teaching children sex education, sexual partner choices, and gender disorientation were healthy topics for our most innocent? Why would a child barely able to tie their shoes, need to even know the word ‘sex’? It has become a sick and twisted game, implanting doubt and confusion in our children’s minds. Teaching them that their parents may have been misguided assigning them a gender at birth and insinuating they have the choice to change the very gender that God has created. Need we be reminded that a child’s brain is not fully developed until somewhere between 20 and 25 years of age? Sometimes older, and as such it is incredibly easy to manipulate the young into believing anything they are fed by those they trust most.

Drag shows are being introduced to small children at story hour, children’s networks and books are covering sexual topics, and as young as middle school, teachers are knowingly keeping vital information about children from their parents. Going as far as to allow children to go by a different name and pronoun in school as they pretend to be a different gender, unbeknownst to their parents. Information which is being intentionally withheld by order of the school and government. When did they take over the parental rights of our children? I repeat, what on earth has happened here?

It’s time for the silent majority to find their voices. Everywhere we turn, even big businesses such as Anheuser-Busch, Target, Kohls, the NBL to name a few, are jumping on board to promote sexual disorientation and a lifestyle that is prominent only to a small percentage of the population. This is an outright marketing campaign to draw children in… Bright and cheery colors, parades and celebrations, a feeling of community to draw in a typical teenager experiencing normal age appropriate angst. When does the madness stop? Sexual orientation and gender have become money makers for businesses, profiting off of confused and vulnerable children. If they are truly looking to ensure that each child feels like they belong, bring them to God. Teach them that they are all God’s children and loved as they are. Teach them to pray, to be kind, and to value themselves despite the hardships that life may bring. Teach them that sex is something that should wait until they are mature enough to know themselves, and to develop trust and love with someone worthy of their unique person.

This obsession is not going to end until rational people put their foot down and demand that our children be treated as children and not groomed for a society focused on sexual behaviors and affiliations. I understand that grown adults may do as they please, but leave the children alone. If an adult chooses to alter their appearance, take drugs to change their body structure, and go as far as to get surgeries, that is their choice. If they are 100% confident in such extreme actions, then they should not need the approval of society to justify their decision. Seeking validation so vehemently only serves to speak to the lack of confidence in a choice. Be you, but stop tossing a net to see how many angst-ridden children can be pulled into the fold.

This movement is sadly minimizing and casting a dark cloud on those who simply wish to be who they are without all the fanfare. We have all known people our entire lives with different lifestyles, whether it be sexual orientation, political or religious choices, or even substance habits that we may not support. It does not mean we think less of them, in fact, in some instances they are family and friends that we love completely and unconditionally. But despite that love, we still should not be expected to change who we are to promote a choice that we do not support. The campaign trying to force that mindset is only further alienating people.

Before it’s too late, bring back God. Bring back sanity. Bring back childhood…
