That's a completely false representation of reality.

Doubling down on your baiting.

There's that woke thing again. So according to you LGBTQ civil rights are woke thus bad? Can you even define woke?

A sense of humor can be charming.

Which God?

Absurd bait ignored.

There is no calm way to respond to such utter tripe so agree to disagree.

Totally false.

It is nothing of the kind. Ageee to disagree.

Agree to disagree.

Feel the compassion.

This isn't about predation or grooming. That's just part of a right wing fear mongering agenda that has nothing to do with reality.

I wouldn't have done that event if I was Central. Corporations are looking for good PR not to inflame controversy. But the core idea of messaging to LGBTQ youth who do certainly exist that their lives have value is excellent and fair minded people should support it.

Depending on what age of the children really. Straight pride is always code for homophobia. Straight people aren't marginalized by societies. Straight youth don't commit suicide because they're straight.

It's quite offensive to suggest people that obviously exist that they don’t. It's sort of a psychological genocide.

Ask a typical gay man when they knew they were different. Most will give a quite young age. In retrospect I knew at age 5. In my day people didn't come out super early which is quite common now.

No need. I have eyes.

They do exist. I'll ignore your fear mongering.

The percentage of LGBTQ people in Thailand is definitely much higher than 2 percent!

I don't think the Central promotion was wise but it is hardly preaching. When a school holds a dance and assumes all the couples will be heteronormative, is that preaching?

Kids aren't flipped. They will grow up to be what they are based on their inner nature. Being exposed to the existence of queer people doesn't make a kid that will grow up straight queer. And vice versa.

The reactionary protect the children at all costs brigade almost never consider protecting LGBTQ children. They generally don't even acknowledge that they even exist.

My thoughts. Probably ill advised from a PR pov from central. The Pride for all signs were lovely. Obviously the Kids Pride thing will attract reactionary attention I'm assuming mostly from westerners. But the fact is there are many kids today that organically identify as gay or ladyboys etc. Not because they were recruited. Because that's how they feel. Obviously they may grow up differently. But regardless it is a positive thing psychologically for them to receive supportive messages from society that they are OK and valued whatever they are. That sort of thing does for a fact reduce depression, poor self esteem, and suicide in LGBT youth. But it was still probably not a great idea for Central to do this. Comforting messages of you're OK regardless can come from other ways and for the sake of LGBTQ youth hopefully do. Another thing. If a message is above a kids current understanding they tend to just filter it out. Like take a kid to a sophisticated movie with adult level themes most often they will just be bored.

It is still a higher number than it would be typical to assume.

Yes and not to forget they have correctly stifled an understable taboo and are once again sending tanks to fight Russia, but this time on the ANTI genocide side.
