I like how everyone deines X like "the artist formerly known as". No disrepsect to prince tho. he was awesome.
SleepyHollowAppleTree
Disgusting creeps, they really need to stop projecting their shit.
themorah
Anyone who chooses to go by “Rocky” as a nickname, probably to be avoided…

Haters gotta hate for life to have any meaning..
tokenhooker
What a bleak existence. If they were so vile they'd have my pity.
SanshinDojo
This fucking terrorist should be arrested.
shinagami091
If that guy really is gay I don’t think he understands what kind of harm he could potentially do to himself. Say he succeeded in whatever it is he was trying to accomplish. Ban drag perhaps? What does he think will come next? Surely not the gays! Drag queens are our first lines of defense because they literally have a stage to be vocal from.
eromitlab
More proof that libsoftiktok is a domestic terrorist account.

Countdown to when that asshole is arrested for child porn or some other fucking horrendous thing he claims to be against. You can almost set your watch to it.
shinagami091
If he’s actually gay, god I hope not. The last thing we need is a gay guy to very publicly get arrested for child pornography. I mean if he actually has possession of such material, arrest away. It just would not go over well for the rest of us gays
lAmGnomeAnn
The headline says "restaining"...
It didn't take me long to figure out the typo, but it was a fanciful few seconds of trying to imagine what a restaining order would be
UristImiknorris
I'd prefer if they had a retraining order.

That deck needs a new coat or it won't handle the next rain.
BishlamekGurpgork
This feels like it'd be super-easy to check. "Where did he tell you to go?" "Here's the link." "Thanks, let's take a look."
BishlamekGurpgork
Even if they were taken down - if parents were told, and none of them took a screetshot or even a blurry cell phone video, what is even going on?
MagicalScientist
Dressing in something other than your "assigned" clothing is considered "sexually explicit" by nutcases. Or worse, telling children it's okay to dress and act how they want.
BishlamekGurpgork
I think most schools wouldn't want teachers distributing pictures of drag in this political climate, I would understand that. But the school doesn't seem to have a problem with it, and I think it's more likely they just made up a lie about a teacher that they know does drag.
happyguide
I wonder if the teacher has a libel case against both this guy and also LibsOfTikTok
paintingagency
Probably but do they want to pursue it and open themselves up to years of battling complete assholes in court, while being mercilessly harassed and threatened by every creepy domestic terrorist fuck who loves Libs of TikTok?
neithermenoryou
Great example being the families that got harassed by Alex Jones' followers after his claims that the Sandy Hooks massacre was fake and that all the parents were crisis actors. IIRC at least one family had to move houses because of the increasing escalating harassment and threats of violence.
fractalsphere
Are 'gays for groomers' actually gay themselves? If not, then they really need to change the name.
Munchman347
Most likely, according to the almost daily news articles, they are the 'Groomers' they rail against...
paintingagency
Maybe but they are mostly tightly coordinated with anti-BLM, Jan6, "election steal" etc. right wing networks https://www.advocate.com/news/gays-against-groomers-exposed

Oh, don't worry, sir! They went after your friends, family, community, former and current lovers, but SURELY they would be so brazen as to come after YOU. After all, you're One Of The Good Ones (tm).
kmikl
Golly, what a plot twist that literally NO ONE with an appreciation of history could see coming!
JustUsLeagueUnlimited
It isn't even "who's next" ... It's picking a side, and picking the side that CURRENTLY hates you and is actively working to invalidate your marriage
LiddellSuite
You are not one of them. There is NO inclusivity for these people no matter if you agree with them. It will be you next every single time.
Aidanman
First they came for the trans.
Smayds
And I protested with thousands of others, and helped to drive the vile bigot Parker Posey the hell out of my nice generally trans-inclusive country of New Zealand, because hate over here gets what it deserves. No tolerance for intolerance. May she never come back.
Magjee
To a lot of people Trans is a catch all word for anything that is not strictly straight
Magjee
To a lot of people use* Trans as* a catch all word for anything that is not strictly straight

Magjee
Should have read: To a lot of people Trans is a catch all word for anything that is not strictly straight
Skuggen
So is them calling the group "gays against groomers" like that white guy who posted "I, being a black man, support President Trump!"? Or are they just gay people who like to punch themselves in the face?
CuteLukePatoot
Slashenaar
Yes, it is astroturfing- pretending to be concerned 'grassroots' citizens from the center or even other side, usually poorly co-opting and intentionally muddying the waters to grab headlines and cause infighting
JustUsLeagueUnlimited
Please support my group "Jon's Against assholes Named John" or JAANJ for short
ConfessionsofMeandpornfavorites
These people make fake organizations to add legitimacy to their accusations. They need a facade of concern for their claims, buts it is such projection that it's deeply concerning.
Greyeyes1973
"Jews for Jesus" is one that's been around for awhile that's similar.
METROlD
Yeah I feel like their name is intentionally misleading just so they can gain support from people who only read headlines.
NickRivieraMD
"Jews for Christ" same vibe, if perhaps without the terrorism.
wisher1977
I have a feeling that they aren't actually gay...
Fishkeeper
No, no, gay people can be bigots too.
wisher1977
Can they be bigots? Yes. Not arguing that. But that isn’t my point. But are these “gays against blah blah” actually gay? Probably not… Like back when all those nut jobs during the pandemic were talking about how “I know someone who died from the vaccine” but don’t actually know anybody who did. Thats my point. People lie to try and make their point seem valid.
channelranger
There is a class of gay person that's very anti-progress for anyone else, but as far as I can tell they're mostly just assholes playing astroturfing
LooseyGooseyBrett
I heard rumors that the guy making the complaint was an ex boyfriend of the teacher. I live in the area and know people in the school district

I forget the specific term, but there is a real phenomenon of 'white picket fence' homosexuals that hold very conservative beliefs including pushing back against rights for others in the lgbtq+ community. A real "fuck you I got mind crowd".
cardinal29
Log Cabin Republicans. Also members of the "Leopard Won't Eat MY Face!" party. https://www.texastribune.org/2022/07/24/texas-log-cabin-republicans/
BryanTenn
Yeah... I have heard comments from my brother's husband that make me stop and go.. what? Basically they fought for their rights.. but now complain that "all these freaks" are jumping on "their bandwagon". It's a bit off-putting to hear that from a gay man that had to leave their birth country due to social ostracizing and harassment for being gay. idk.. But it's one thing to feel like others are on "their bandwagon", and another thing entirely to support them being harassed. Never.
katejo2000
Also internalized homophobia.
Firestar002
I’m also thinking “do they not realize what the G in LBGTQ+ means? Or are they just jumping on it with delusions of being ‘cool’?”
Probably think it means “Large Bread, Greens, Tomato’s, Quarter-pounder”./s
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
You could ask the same about log cabin repubs. Their philosophy is "if everyone acted as straight as we do instead of being openly queer, or ideally never left the closet, surely the far right would accept us. Especially if we're proper yes men who agree that trans people are the worst, pride parades should be outlawed, and marriage equality was a mistake"
WhichIsIt
Yeah nobody wants large bread
Firestar002
Lol. I couldn’t think of anything else.
MadamPuddifoot
But why did you make the tomatoes plural like that
Firestar002
Stupid auto correct.

Gays Against Groomers Is Not a Grassroots Organization: Report
https://www.advocate.com/news/gays-against-groomers-exposed
BellsTheorem
Of course it isn't.
ThisIsTheShortestUsernameICouldFind
By the time most “grassroots” movements gain nation attention, they’ve got some kind of dark money funding them and pushing an agenda
just4thelolz
Ah. I believe the term for that is "astroturfing".
casualgenderquestion2718
or, given the propensity of “gender criticals” towards utilizing this strategy, I prefer “astroterfing”
BishlamekGurpgork
Well, an astroturf may not actually be opposed to their stated goal, they might just be borrowing legitimacy.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
Seems like the MAGA equivalent of log cabin repubs, who also tend to be rabid TER... well, not TERFs. They don't even pretend to be feminists. Just TERs I guess. Trans-exclusionary radicals / right-wingers.
Magjee
So TERG's, but they don't mind if the G is banned as well
miked854
Do LCRs still exist? I thought they died in 2016.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
I've no idea. Age demographic wise, you might be right that most of them are literally dead by now.
LostCaterpillar
Well last year they were very upset to be banned from the Texas republican convention last year, so I think they still exist. https://www.themarysue.com/log-cabin-republicans-are-shocked-that-they-were-shut-out-of-texas-convention/
