Enjoy it while it lasts, because it won't for long. Nature will prevail and all of your destructive attempts to normalize sexual deviancy will be for naught. Your attempts to censor free speech in the guise of hate speech is reprehensible and also rather fruitless. Aren't you humiliated that the only way you folks seem to be able to get along in life is through legislative coercion and constant mewling and whining?

Thanks

It's a long article, but it's worth the read. As a woman of color, I appreciate the insight.

When the doorbell rings, Cale Fuoco runs to answer at his family home in Northern Seattle. The 7-year-old holds a small wooden board in his arms – a 2x4 with two eyes and a lopsided smile, which have been etched in marker on one side of the board.

“Meet my friend, named Plank” Cale says.

At the dinner table, Plank has a seat and place setting all to himself. After Cale retreats for a little math homework and some secret TV watching, Plank is abandoned at the table to Cale’s dads, Frank Fuoco and Benjamin Liu.
