I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at things like this anymore - it's become SOP for bigots. As long as they've been trying (and they've been trying for a long, LONG time), they can't find anything about being homosexual that's a danger to society, so they have to make up stupid, pig-ignorant nonsense like equating homosexuality to paedophila and bestiality.
Ellen DeGeneres had a great take on this years ago. It went something like, 'People say that legalizing gay marriage will lead to people marrying goats. Goats. What they miss is that I don't want to marry a goat. No gay person I know wants to marry a goat.'

I used to make fun of those arguments just like Ellen did, but in hindsight I have to admit some bad things did follow the legalization of gay marriage, and I did not see it coming. Of course marriage equality is great and needed to happen. Since then though, we have the mainstream pushing the idea that masculinity is bad and needs to be cured (for example the Gillette commercial, which got twice as many dislikes as likes, and there are countless other examples). You can't blame conservatives for looking at things like this and thinking that they're trying to weaken/feminize men. President Biden just made it so biological women are forced to compete at a disadvantage in their own sports, and so they can't escape the presence of a penis even in a change room or an abused women's shelter. People are being censored for having their own opinion on what is or is not a man or a woman. Censorship is soaring. You can't force people to like transgender people by forcing them to speak a certain way. That's not how things work.
The pedophile thing was only a couple of articles in some left leaning news outlets, which I didn't mind. They were written by non-offending people and were ok. I think the right overreacted to that.
