@suprememarcus Or maybe I do, and I refuse to use my children to justify my point because, as I've explained very clearly, I don't believe that being a parent gives anyone permission to force their views on others.
And how exactly does having children justify being aggressively homophobic and transphobic? A parent could just as easily say "As a parent, I find it intolerable to imagine my children being persecuted for their sexual orientation, unable to just be themselves, raise children of their own with the person they love one day, even unable to show affection to their partner in public without fear of being attacked. That's why I fight for LGBT rights".
Let's be clear: if one of your kids is queer, or trans, they just ARE and there's nothing you can do about it. You can choose to be a good parent and love them as they are, or you can choose to make them unhappy. And even if your kids are cisgendetef heterosexuals, raising them to be homophobic and transphobic automatically makes you a bad parent.
