I’m a 60 year old woman who was raised by two Dads back in a time when fear far outweighed rational reasoning. Our home was place filled with love, support, kindness, warmth and a clear message to me that no matter what I chose to do in life, my Dads would be standing right behind me. Enough is enough!!

@@ghsbadgerfgb8953 I'm an old woman now, a grandmother many times over. I make it a habit to never respond to nasty comments. It's a waste of energy. But, I'll tell you a bit about me, to help you understand something. When a child is raised in a loving home with devoted, educated parents, that child takes that message of love and care into their adult life. I am a retired nurse, and cared for very sick and disabled children. As my career continued, I had the opportunity to work with terminally adult patients both in Palliative Care and Hospice as they were dying. I wasn't surprised to find many, way more than average numbers, of gay nurses, doctors and support staff providing care to the dying. I found nothing but compassion, gentleness and genuine concern that our patients were managed in the most caring way, that their pain was under control, they were comfortable, kept clean, always had someone to listen to them and help support their families, no matter the hour of day or night. I tell you this because when you leave this world, it may very likely be a gay nurse who gives your pain medications, bathes you and changes your diapers, consoles your family and is there at 3am when you are afraid. I don't care if you ever even read this, but knowing your personality type, you just might. Please don't waste your energy replying. Have a great day! I mean that.
@ClaeFace There are degrees of homophobia, from a gay-inclined person being tolerant of others but choosing to avoid any relationships because of religion/family/community, all the way to that guy who shot up an LGBTQ nightclub a few years back.
Well they might throw their teenage daughter out of the house if she gets pregnant too or if she wants an abortion lots of parents are abusive or controlling like that not just LGBTQ parents some of them molest their kids too.
As a Christian,I feel secondhand embarrassment for these bigoted people. I was exposed to the "gay agenda" as an 8 year old reading a book. When I read it I said "I've never seen that before but ok" and went back to reading. Let your children formulate their own damn opinons not influenced by your bigotry

If teaching kids about same sex marriage/parenthood is “grooming” or “indoctrination”, so is heterosexual marriage/parenthood. Same thing with any media that features any sort of heterosexual relationship.
If anything same sex families are way worse by their standards lmao. They show them books and movies and tell them stories all the time to make them feel like a princess and prepare them to fall in love and bear children... Like if that's not grooming them to be in a heterosexual relationship and to create their own heterosexual family unit then what is it?? I'm not saying it's wrong for children to hear and know and understand these topics or even to dream about having a "prince" or a "princess" or of one day being a mother or father. But make it make sense??
a little more controversial, but imo, so is religion! ive seen examples of churches telling people that “if you dont behave, god will punish you!!” and scaring them into behaving. my relative is afraid to divorce because of the stuff they told them, and they arent legally divorced, but theyre separated alright. can provide further examples, but i gotta shower cuz im stinky. bai
I always thought having same sex parents was wrong, until I read my local newspaper and they brought up the question. “ Do you think an adopted child cares whether they have two dads or two mums? No, all they care about is having two parents that love them in a safe home” That little article completely flipped my view on the matter and I am glad I took the time to read it. Every child deserves a safe home that they feel loved in and their parents sexuality is totally irrelevant.
All I needed to know was that they’re 2 humans who deserve what anyone else does. And I’ve known this since I was a little kid. Never had anything to do with parents or kids with me because that’s not what defines people, but good for you if it means you’re a bit more open minded
The best parents care about their kids. I have the privilege to be out to my mom and dad, and they love me, the real me. There's nothing that quite compares to a supporting family.

really? I agree hate will not win. However, our definition of hate is obviously different. The hate on parental rights is clear, the hate of heterosexuals is clear based on the comments on this board. Parents should decide what their kids are exposed to, not teachers or the government.
The gop platform is completely based on fear of....everything. fear comes from ignorance and education cures ignorance. That's why there is a conservative war on teachers and education. They have to keep them ignorant in hopes they will get their vote which will be based on...fear.
I’m a trans woman raised in a conservative area by transphobic parents. I’ve never felt like a man or wanted to act like a man but for the first 16 years of my life I was forced to. I remember people realizing I was depressed by 2nd grade and getting put into therapy after I couldn’t stop crying over the smallest of things. Being trans I naturally have a lot of feminine mannerisms (sitting like a girl etc.) which I later got bullied for a lot. I got extremely depressed around 16 and I struggled to not end it all. There were weeks where I don’t know how I survived every day. I ended up coming out as gay and opening up a tiny bit. I was still very afraid to be myself even around my most accepting friends. After that I was still depressed but things weren’t nearly as bad anymore. Around when I turned 18 I finally accepted that I was trans and came out to a few close friends who were not transphobic at all. Because I had spent my entire life basically living a lie I still struggle to really open up and be myself, even when I know these people would like me even more if I were to fully be myself. But I’ve finally gotten over my depression and life doesn’t seem so bad. If I were so much as told that trans people exist and aren’t just demons I would’ve known I was trans immediately. If people accepted me for who I was I never would’ve gotten to the brink of suicide. Lgbtq+ kids are victims not monsters. You can’t make somebody gay or trans. People who try to cast us to the shadows need to realize more people than they think are lgbtq and they’re only making those kids scared and depressed. If you read all of this thank you so much ❤🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ I hope you can live your life how you want to and help other people to aswell.

Homosexuality is basically being advertised at this point. It has gone beyond equality and has become equity, yet they are getting more of the spotlight still. All I want schools to do, is teach children how to learn, how to be critical and then actually learn them stuff so that they can fend for themselves in the world. And since children from age 6 to 12 are at the prime of the forming of their brain, their time at school should be spend appropriately, thus learning to learn and become critical. It shouldn't be filled with things that they themselves have no use for at that age. Teaching them stuff about lgbtq is not gonna help them in any way. Would it be handy for them to know? Maybe a slight bit, but since there are much more important matters, it should not be the focus.
My best friend is gay. He stood up for me when I was attacked for my race and I stood up for him when he was attacked for his sexuality. It doesn’t matter if he is gay or not because what really matters is that he is a good person. I care about him because he saved me in the time I needed somebody to save me the most. This is what great people are.

Agreed. I think that is the biggest problem. Media gives the spotlight to the radical minority because its more entertaining to watch but then that also gives more credence and acceptance to that behavior. I'm not sure how to change it.

The truth is there are LGBTQ+ kids in that school. No other way about it, they ARE in your community and you can't change that. But for parents to scare them and make them feel threatened for their life, that is heinous.

@@knrdvmmlbkkn when I was young, women couldn't get credit in their own names and employers could discriminate based upon gender and race. In my public school in Chicago, girls were not allowed to wear slacks, even in a blizzard. If we wore them to walk to school we had to wear them under a skirt and take them off at school. That may not sound like much to you, but it was just one example of how inequality was the norm. Real Estate agents were allowed to descriminate based upon race and so were banks. Gay people could be beat up just for being gay and nothing much was done about it, just like in the south a white man would rarely if ever be convicted of a crime against a black man. I could go on and on. We have had many improvements, but also, have become less educated, misinformed and much more easily manipulated by politicians.

As a gay woman who grew up in a conservative Christian household, my family said ew in reaction to even the mention of gay people.

Homophobes are so quick to say they dont want children exposed to queerness (which is simply a fact of life that they will come across whether you like it or not) but don't think for a second about the queer children being exposed to hatred. These parents are screaming about a book but imagine what Jackie Goldberg and others like her had to go through when they were growing up. I'm so eternally grateful to the queer people who existed before me because where I live, I can hold my girlfriend's hand and not be harassed and together we can dream about getting married and having kids - something we wouldn't have even been able to think about if we'd been born earlier or somewhere else.
It’s because they don’t believe there is such a thing as “queer kids.” They think it’s either a choice they make to be trendy/rebellious or something they’re indoctrinated into believing and that everyone is straight by default. Wrong and disgusting, yes, but that’s their rationale.

Our home was place filled with love, support, kindness, warmth and a clear message to me that no matter what I chose to do in life, my Dads would be standing right behind me. Enough is enough!! If you don’t like it, don’t look at it!! Bigotry, homophobia, misogyny and hate have no place in 2024.

@@ghsbadgerfgb8953 I'm an old woman now, a grandmother many times over. I make it a habit to never respond to nasty comments. It's a waste of energy. But, I'll tell you a bit about me, to help you understand something. When a child is raised in a loving home with devoted, educated parents, that child takes that message of love and care into their adult life. I am a retired nurse, and cared for very sick and disabled children. As my career continued, I had the opportunity to work with terminally adult patients both in Palliative Care and Hospice as they were dying.
I wasn't surprised to find many, way more than average numbers, of gay nurses, doctors and support staff providing care to the dying. I found nothing but compassion, gentleness and genuine concern that our patients were managed in the most caring way, that their pain was under control, they were comfortable, kept clean, always had someone to listen to them and help support their families, no matter the hour of day or night.
I tell you this because when you leave this world, it may very likely be a gay nurse who gives your pain medications, bathes you and changes your diapers, consoles your family and is there at 3am when you are afraid.
I don't care if you ever even read this, but knowing your personality type, you just might. Please don't waste your energy replying. Have a great day! I mean that.

I always thought having same sex parents was wrong, until I read my local newspaper and they brought up the question. “ Do you think an adopted child cares whether they have two dads or two mums? No, all they care about is having two parents that love them in a safe home” That little article completely flipped my view on the matter and I am glad I took the time to read it. Every child deserves a safe home that they feel loved in and their parents sexuality is totally irrelevant.
All I needed to know was that they’re 2 humans who deserve what anyone else does. And I’ve known this since I was a little kid. Never had anything to do with parents or kids with me because that’s not what defines people, but good for you if it means you’re a bit more open minded

I’m a trans woman raised in a conservative area by transphobic parents.
I’ve never felt like a man or wanted to act like a man but for the first 16 years of my life I was forced to. I remember people realizing I was depressed by 2nd grade and getting put into therapy after I couldn’t stop crying over the smallest of things. Being trans I naturally have a lot of feminine mannerisms (sitting like a girl etc.) which I later got bullied for a lot. I got extremely depressed around 16 and I struggled to not end it all. There were weeks where I don’t know how I survived every day. I ended up coming out as gay and opening up a tiny bit. I was still very afraid to be myself even around my most accepting friends. After that I was still depressed but things weren’t nearly as bad anymore.
Around when I turned 18 I finally accepted that I was trans and came out to a few close friends who were not transphobic at all. Because I had spent my entire life basically living a lie I still struggle to really open up and be myself, even when I know these people would like me even more if I were to fully be myself. But I’ve finally gotten over my depression and life doesn’t seem so bad.
If I were so much as told that trans people exist and aren’t just demons I would’ve known I was trans immediately. If people accepted me for who I was I never would’ve gotten to the brink of suicide.
Lgbtq+ kids are victims not monsters. You can’t make somebody gay or trans. People who try to cast us to the shadows need to realize more people than they think are lgbtq and they’re only making those kids scared and depressed.

Homosexuality is basically being advertised at this point. It has gone beyond equality and has become equity, yet they are getting more of the spotlight still.
All I want schools to do, is teach children how to learn, how to be critical and then actually learn them stuff so that they can fend for themselves in the world. And since children from age 6 to 12 are at the prime of the forming of their brain, their time at school should be spend appropriately, thus learning to learn and become critical. It shouldn't be filled with things that they themselves have no use for at that age.
Teaching them stuff about lgbtq is not gonna help them in any way. Would it be handy for them to know? Maybe a slight bit, but since there are much more important matters, it should not be the focus.

My best friend is gay. He stood up for me when I was attacked for my race and I stood up for him when he was attacked for his sexuality. It doesn’t matter if he is gay or not because what really matters is that he is a good person. I care about him because he saved me in the time I needed somebody to save me the most. This is what great people are.

That may not sound like much to you, but it was just one example of how inequality was the norm. Real Estate agents were allowed to descriminate based upon race and so were banks. Gay people could be beat up just for being gay and nothing much was done about it, just like in the south a white man would rarely if ever be convicted of a crime against a black man.

I'm so eternally grateful to the queer people who existed before me because where I live, I can hold my girlfriend's hand and not be harassed and together we can dream about getting married and having kids - something we wouldn't have even been able to think about if we'd been born earlier or somewhere else.
Bravo 👏👏 so well said.
And the same people show them weappons, crime and war! You are so right. God bless you. By the way my God loves all people!
It’s because they don’t believe there is such a thing as “queer kids.” They think it’s either a choice they make to be trendy/rebellious or something they’re indoctrinated into believing and that everyone is straight by default. Wrong and disgusting, yes, but that’s their rationale.
It has been a month, any luck "having" kids yet?
@@hans-jorg-io1is no they do, just not the nasty sin. Read a book my guy.
"HOW DARE YOU MAKE THEM AFRAID BECAUSE YOU ARE"
now ain't that the absolute truth about the whole anti-trans/gay movement.
I'm in tears.
I ADMIRE you Ms. Goldberg.
I bet she was real quiet when other people were going through real fear.
@@chitownbear7733 Your comment makes no sense at all.
@@chitownbear7733 Proof? Any evidence to back up that wild assumption?
@@therealameliabedelia7821 didn’t see any rainbow flags in Uvalde marching for justice…
@@chitownbear7733 You’re aware that homosexuals don’t wave a rainbow flag everywhere, correct? And when they don’t, it’s been said they shockingly look like totally normal people. So how do you know they weren’t?
Every LGBTQ+ person I know is for firearm reform, particularly because of school shootings.
Not liking someone doesn't give you the right to deny their existance or made it impossible for them
"HOW DARE YOU MAKE THEM AFRAID BECAUSE *YOU* ARE!" 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Holy Shit, her outburst of “HOW DARE YOU MAKE THEM AFRAID BECAUSE YOU ARE!” actually moved me to tears. I wasn’t expecting to suddenly cry on my lunch break and yet here I am. My younger self felt so validated.
Holy shit, I'm tearing up at her absolutely righteous anger as she rages about LGBTQIA+ kids and adults being made to feel afraid. Powerful stuff.
Omg I started tearing up when she lost it. Seriously eloquently put and so much respect for her.
“How dare you make them afraid because you are” is such a raw line. Beautiful
This was so moving. This woman’s words were so on the mark. As a bisexual woman, I hear all kinds of remarks and comments designed to tear me and my thought and beliefs down until I change my “wicked” ways. As a Gen X woman, I tell them that their opinion is theirs and if they don’t want me pushing my beliefs on them, the stop pushing their beliefs on to me. My language is usually much harsher and a little more politically incorrect. Homophobia has not place in schools. Racism and no place in school. This things only hurt children in the long run.
"How DARE you make them afraid!" I just LOVE how passionate she is :] It's so empowering!! 🏳🌈🏳🌈
Remember, this whole thing started because a book pointed out something that exists. It didn't teach a lie. It didn't push an agenda. It mentioned a thing that exists in the world.
"Exists" being the key word. Facts from *this* universe, vs. the Bizarro MAGA universe, which, Bizarro as it is, holds strange comfort for terrified souls.
Damn I'm snarky tonight. 🤯
Exactly
Nobody said it doesn't exist. But we should not promote evil things.
@@jim2498 ....Like promoting an orange FALSE IDOL ??
@@jim2498 .....and according to YOUR book ...it is NOT your job to judge. It is his.
Every school board should have someone like this woman on it!
Workin on it 😉
I love this woman, she is what we need as a society. People who speak up against hate and will not be complacent with hatred and bigotry
Thank God she is President of that school board ... more like Jackie please.
'How dare u make them aftaid because u are'. Wise and powerful words
This is actually what is happening.
And Im so glad she spoke those words!
She turned thoughts and paragraphs I had in my head into one clear sentence.
And Im so thankfull that she put my feelings and thoughts into words.
Instant favourite!
Very stupid words from a stupid person who supports a stupid book.
Stupid words from a evil and stupid woman.
I can't imagine the fear that was felt after the assembly reading that book. Over a sentence. One sentence that brings acknowledgment to other families. This is a powerful speech...thank you.
I’m a 15 yr old with homophobic and transphobic parents, almost sent to a conversion camp and currently in the closet again. You do not know how much i was crying after this, thank you.
Please stay strong. It won't be always that hard. I know parents sometimes can be the most problematic people in our lifes and for some reason understand us far worse than most other people. It's ironic but it's so common in the world. Don't lose your hope. It will get better. You being queer is perfectly fine. Always remember: you are not alone in this struggle❤
@@MONGO77859How dare you to reply in such an ignorant, manipulative and incompent way, completely disregarding what the commentor above said? Don't you feel any shame or do you simply don't understand at all what was being said?
The teenager is suffering from hateful, close minded parents who terrorize their kid for who the kid is. That can lead to but in of itself is not a mental health issue. It's abuse and the kid is in fact a victim. The kid isn't trying to be a victim when the parents victimize them for simply being different. To be so manipulative to comment on such a situation as being just a mental health issue is highly irresponsible and really just evil. So stfu and stop telling queer teenagers they need therapy when they just told you they were getting victimized for being queer, ESPECIALLY when they are as devastated as described in the first comment. You are part of the very problem the video addresses. Highly irresponsible comment.
@@MONGO77859bro conversions capms are literally considered torture in a lot of places
Please don't listen to those hateful, uninformed comments.
You deserve to be validated and accepted. You deserve to live happily and safely, to exist as you are without fear. I'm so sorry that anyone has ever made you feel otherwise.
@@MONGO77859 Ironic that you have a Batman pfp considering his most prominent voice actor was openly gay and accepted trans people. RIP Kevin Conroy.
What a woman. Made me cry. She must must have been and is most undoubtedly a wonderful mum and grandmother
This is who we need, the passion in her voice is incredible, what an incredible message
If these people were uncomfortable with what they read in this book just wait until they read the Bible.
All they gonna take from it is oh yea we were right gay is bad .. even though it literally never actually states that lol 😂
Yup. Greatest ever horror stroy ever written.
It's incredibly ironic that Christian bigots always use the Leviticus quote which completely goes against the preachings of Jesus
Bro some people don't even know what's actually in the Bible. So much horrific stuff is in there, you don't even know. For example, annoying children should be stoned by every male in the city. Or woman aren't allowed to be a priest. And much much more bad stuff. Why do we pick and choose stuff from the Bible? "Oh yeah no this seems a little too brutal, let's not do that and just ignore it. AH oh but the Bible says gays are bad, so they are!" That's so Bs. Like bro, either believe im the entirety of the Bible. Or Don't believe in it at all. I don't think god wants you to pick and choose whats written on his holy book. You aren't homophobic because you are a Christian. You are just homophobic because you want to be.
@@snuffcore9686 👏👏👏👏👏
This woman has had enough of some people’s BS. 👏 I would have loved to see the audience reaction.
This is THE
WHOLE POINT. EQUAL RESPECT. EQUAL REPRESENTATION. PROTECTION FROM PERSECUTION. THAT'S WHAT
IT IS.
I love how people dont see queer relationship as normal relationship, they only think it as sex. Saying that some families have two moms or dads is not exposing your kids to sex, it's just explaining that some families are like that. That one sentence in this book didnt have the word 'sex' in it, it didnt speak about sex. Queer people arent only sex, theyre PEOPLE, should be treated as so
@@itsmemariohi1771 so much this!
It's like saying that two moms or two dads exist, then forces them to talk about butt sex.... Like what??
@@ryinwhynot3958 I feel like theyre just not able to understand that straight and same sex couple are basically the same, they cant fanthom that two people of the same gender could love each other, it kinda makes me sad
This woman should head every school board.
Why? Most of my local school board and city council hold the polar opposite view from her, and I couldn’t be happier with my community.
@@nottoday.9503 Get Nuremberged, disgusting Nzi filth.
@@nottoday.9503 so your opinion is that gay people shouldn't be seen? What a trashy, outdated opinion to hold. Do better
@@nottoday.9503Well fine be that wait
Just dont take those rights
@@seantaggart7382 isn't a right to molest kids, this isn't the middle east.
I literally broke down into tears when she talked about them making every lgbt person afraid. Because I am. I have been afraid because of people protesting my very existence, and trying to pass laws to strip me of my rights to freely be who I am.
Stay strong! Tough times the US are in. Or just migrate to europe. Way lesser problems with homosexuality here.
@@NotUnymous These are not tough times in the U.S. for homosexuals. It's like a different world from even just 10 years ago. Most of the controversy now is just over should little kids in elementary school learn about homosexuality or not. So that gives you an idea of just how "not tough" it is. Sure, there are still bigots out there. But the goal of equality under the law has been achieved.
If you want to see tough times for homosexuals, try living in Africa as one.
@@TheBerylknight it most certainly is. They’re not only attacking school curriculum but these same people are calling people in the community gr00mers, they’re attacking drag queens for reading children’s stories to kids, they’re attacking trans people and the parents of trans kids for wanting to support their kids and trying to get them the help they need. As a gay trans man this is certainly a tough time. Don’t tell LGBTQ people whether this is a tough time or not. There are laws being passed that negatively affect us. We know if we’re in danger or not and at this time it is dangerous and it is tough
@@ghastlycandle lol, it most certainly isn't. You must be young if you think it is, and I'll tell you anything I want. If you don't like it, then don't reply to my comments because you don't command me Mr. If you want to get a gender reassignment surgery, wait until you are 18. The bills they are passing apply only to kids, and they are the right thing to do. Kids are not mature enough to be making those kind of decisions.
And when one of your biggest complaints is people being annoyed at drag queen story hour with kids, you just made my point for me.
What laws are they trying to pass that are going to strip you of your rights to feely be who you are? You're being a drama queen. The only "laws" they are passing are laws banning gender reassignment surgeries for minors. And that is absolutely the right thing to do. If you believe you need those surgeries to "freely be who you are" then just wait until you're 18.
