    The “Think of the Children!” excuse has been used by homophobes as an excuse to persecute them as long as there have been homophobes.

      Oh, I understand. Of course we should protect children from unsavory content but I certainly don’t trust homophobes to be the ones deciding how that is done

        Exactly. Anytime the US gov tries to announce that they are doing something to “protect the children” 9/10 times it’s just an excuse to persecute or punish non cis-white people.
