Democrats No Longer Good for Gays

Ben Appel explains in Why I’m Not Voting why he can’t vote for a political party whose policies put gender-nonconforming gay kids at risk:

The progressive position, embraced by Democrats, used to be that there was no “right way” to be a boy or a girl. That boys can like dolls and girls can play football. Not so today. Today, so-called progressives tell young boys that if they like pink, mermaids, and long, flowing dresses, they might be girls “on the inside,” and they tell young girls that if they prefer short hair and hate makeup, they might really be boys.
What we have known for years, decades, maybe centuries, is that most gender-nonconforming children—that is, butch girls or girly boys, like the sissy little boy I once was—will grow up to be gay. And yet the Democratic Party advocates for medical treatments that block the natural development of these young people. Medical treatments that leave them sterile and often sexually nonfunctional. Medical treatments that began as nothing more than an attempt to turn homosexual young people into straight adults.
Talk about conversion therapy!
This is not progressive. This is regressive, illiberal, and antigay.
And, like Donald Trump’s election denial, it is inexcusable.

Note: When I tried to post this on the IGF CultureWatch Facebook page, Facebook’s censors removed it as “inappropriate.” It’s true, Facebook is censoring posts that its progressive gate-keepers see as critical of Democrats on the eve of the election!
