The judge cited the Supreme Court’s recent decision establishing parents’ right to opt kids out of LGBTQ+ inclusive lessons.

A Boston judge has ruled in favor of a Massachusetts dad who sued his local school district to ensure his five-year-old son is never exposed to books featuring LGBTQ+ characters.

As the Boston Herald reported, the father, identified in court documents as Alan L., is described as a “devout Christian” who objects to the inclusion of certain children’s books featuring LGBTQ+ characters in the kindergarten curriculum of Joseph Estabrook Elementary School, where his son, identified as J.L., is enrolled.

      Wow. You’re an absolute fucking psycho if you genuinely think that.

      Edit: holy shit, your comment history is wild. And further cements my opinion that you’re an absolute fucking psycho.

              If you think that’s what was happening, you’ve completely lost the plot, mate. That’s absolutely not a real thing. You’re literally just parroting homophobic conservative reactionary fearmongering rhetoric.

                  Teaching kids about gender identity and gender dysphoria is good and normal. Teaching people about those matters is absolutely not an attempt at indoctrination or “grooming” in any way, shape, or form. Education is not “grooming”.

                  I hope your children end up seeing your bigotry for what it is and reject it, because your whole psychology around this stuff is unrepentantly toxic. If anything, you’re the one trying to indoctrinate children here.

      It’s not a fucking movement. This isn’t a belief or thought process or anything. It’s who people are. You’re too wrapped up in propaganda and ignorance to see it.

          lmao. tell me you’re ignorant without telling me you’re ignorant. Being gay or not has NOTHING to do with morals. Are animals in the wild that are gay immoral? or does that only apply to humans? homosexuality in wild animals is a well documented fact. It’s VERY common. But that doesn’t count, right?

          The same user has made similar comments in other threads, either they’re actually a complete braindead conservaturd or a troll. Either way, not worth anybody’s time.

      I’m gay and I wasn’t groomed into it. In fact, my early childhood is marked by a lot of confusion trying to grapple with parts of my identity while adults like you said horrendous things about gay people around me. I tried everything I could to not be gay, to please my very religious parents, and that caused more harm than any of the beatings my “Christian” father gave me over the years. I’m sure you’re too interested in hanging onto your ignorant and hateful views to try to expand your understanding of anything though.

          I’m telling you that didn’t happen. I didn’t know a single gay person growing up. That’s part of why I was so confused when puberty came around and things were different for me. Also, I had a bunch of adults around me making it clear that being gay was the worst thing you could be. Those are the adults that damaged me the most. My family is like yours. They thought there were no gay people, they’re all homophobic. That didn’t stop me from existing, it just made it harder for me as a child. You’ve never met or known an actual gay person, have you?
