More specifically, she called for it in order to expose children as young as toddlers to \u201cthe scope and vitality of queer life.\u201d <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Rowello, a self-described \u201cgendervague\u201d\u00a0person\u00a0who is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/lifestyle\/2020\/10\/09\/parents-come-out\/\">married to a transgender woman<\/a>, described how the couple attended a Pride parade in Philadelphia five years ago. (The term gendervague, in case you\u2019re overcome by curiosity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aane.org\/gendervague-intersection-autistic-trans-experiences\/\">refers<\/a> \u201cto a specifically neurodivergent experience of trans\/gender identity.\u201d You\u2019re welcome.) At one point during the parade, Rowello wrote, \u201cour elementary-schooler pointed in the direction of oncoming floats, raising an eyebrow at a bare-chested man in dark sunglasses whose black suspenders clipped into a leather thong. The man paused to be spanked playfully by a partner with a flog. \u2018What are <em>they<\/em> doing?\u2019 my curious kid asked as our toddler cheered them on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Her toddler cheered them on<\/em>. In a saner time, parents wouldn\u2019t allow adults \u201cplayfully\u201d engaged in sado-masochism within a hundred miles of their toddlers, but today a generation or two of fanatically woke parents intentionally expose their children to such a repellent display in order to inculcate, as young as possible, a sexual awareness that kids aren\u2019t equipped to process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pair was the first of a few dozen kinksters who danced down the street, laughing together as they twirled their whips and batons, some leading companions by leashes,\u201d Rowello continued. What kind of mother thinks it is appropriate to expose her children to human beings degrading each other with leashes? \u201cAt the time, my children were too young to understand the nuance of the situation, but I told them the truth,\u201d Rowello explained. \u201cThat these folks were members of our community celebrating who they are and what they like to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s something else she could have told her children: all human beings are children of God, deserving of dignity, and literally parading them around like animals for sexual kicks is morally reprehensible. Maybe that\u2019s too much \u201cnuance\u201d for Rowello.<\/p>\n<div class=\"simplePullQuote right\"><p>No culture that finds its authenticity in an idolatry of the flesh and the degradation of the human spirit can survive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Rowello did acknowledge that even among the LGBT crowd, there is debate about whether \u201ckinksters\u201d belong in Pride parades at all, at least partly because of the presence of children. But she argued that \u201ckink visibility is a reminder that any person can and should shamelessly explore what brings joy and excitement. We don\u2019t talk to our children enough about pursuing sex to fulfill carnal needs that delight and captivate us in the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read that last sentence again, and ask yourself what kind of parent is in a hurry to push his or her child to fulfill carnal needs. The answer is that there are only two kinds: pedophiles and neo-Marxist ideologues who are targeting impressionable minds and vulnerable souls, with the intention of weaponizing them against the \u201ccis-normative\u201d status quo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we\u2019re afraid to talk about kink with our children, we prioritize the status quo \u2014 sanitizing and censoring their access to information about appropriate and normal self-expression,\u201d Rowello pleaded. Sorry, but \u201ckink\u201d is by definition <em>abnormal<\/em> self-expression, and it is absolutely <em>not<\/em> appropriate for children to witness. Sanitizing and censoring what children are exposed to until they are psychologically developed enough to absorb that information is called <em>good parenting<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Rowello\u2019s intentionally provocative article predictably sparked outrage on social media from people who have an actual moral compass and a justifiable revulsion toward the idea of parents grooming their own grade-schoolers into a pathetic subculture of fetishists. <em>The Daily Wire<\/em>\u2019s Matt Walsh, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/30\/washington-post-ben-shapiro-gay-pride\/\">tweeted<\/a> to Rowello, \u201cYou should be in prison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walsh also shared on social media a tweet from Rowello that included a recent picture of her 8-year-old son, whom Rowello referred to as \u201cthey,\u201d wearing makeup. \u201cMy 8YO explored makeup for the first time tonight,\u201d she tweeted in May. \u201cThey tried an eyeshadow tutorial to make clouds, some flowers (not shown), and lots (and lots and lots and lots) of eyeliner stamps. They shrugged, Maybe I\u2019ll go on [the drag queen show<em> Drag Race<\/em>] when I\u2019m older.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No 8-year-old, or adult for that matter, should ever even know that such an infantile program as <em>Drag Race<\/em> exists, much less yearn to appear on it. But the bullying LGBT lobby has turned transgenderism and drag culture into the tip of the spear of its objective to smash the heteronormative \u201coppression\u201d of the nuclear family. Drag queens are now everywhere children can be found: targeting them in library story time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com\/fpm\/2021\/06\/lefts-urgent-mission-sexualize-kids-mark-tapson\/\">indoctrinating them in children\u2019s TV programming<\/a>, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/feature\/nbc-out\/drag-kids-are-slaying-runway-one-fierce-look-time-n918211\">steering them into becoming underage drag performers themselves<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the undeniable truth that LGBT groomers like Rowello ignore in their ideological push to normalize perversion and to sexualize kids, even their own: children are quite simply not mature enough to process the mystery and power of adult sexuality \u2013 neither its spiritual transcendence nor its dark compulsions. You should no more expose children to a parade full of \u201ckinksters\u201d spanking each other than you should expose them to heterosexual pornography. Either one is guaranteed to warp their understanding of the purpose and proper sphere of human sexuality. This used to be commonsense; today, propaganda outlets like <em>The Washington Post<\/em> spread the message that what was once commonsense is now intolerant and bigoted.<\/p>\n<div class=\"simplePullQuote right\"><p>A civilization that raises its children to revel in spiritual emptiness and sexual decadence is a doomed one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Children are not emotionally or morally prepared to exert any mastery over their own bodies (for that matter, neither are many adults). They should not be taught that indulgence in \u201ccarnal needs that delight and captivate us\u201d is either a personal or societal good. They should most definitely not be led to believe that their sexuality is the most authentic part of one&#8217;s self. If your sexuality \u2013 hetero-, homo-, or otherwise \u2013 defines who you are, then you are a tragically shallow person.<\/p>\n<p>That may not be a very \u201cwelcoming\u201d or \u201cinclusive\u201d take on the subject, but if your favorite personal expression is dressing up like a demonic, clown parody of a woman and normalizing it for children, or allowing yourself to be led around on a leash in public by a man in a leather thong, then you need to do some serious soul-searching and get professional help. This is not something to be celebrated but psychoanalyzed and prayed over. <em>That<\/em> is the truth Rowello <em>didn\u2019t<\/em> tell her children.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of \u201cPride\u201d: if your proudest moment as a parent is when you successfully groom your child into the same sort of sexual dysfunction that you and your partner have turned into virtue-signaling badges of noncomformity, then you need to seek help immediately and re-prioritize your life to deconstruct the damage you have done to him or her (not \u201cthey\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>In response to Rowello\u2019s <em>WaPo<\/em> article, <em>I\u2019m Right<\/em> host Jesse Kelly <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JesseKellyDC\/status\/1410281738580942848\">tweeted<\/a>, in part, \u201cNations do not remain stable, healthy nations with this behavior becoming acceptable.\u201d He is exactly right. No culture that finds its authenticity in an idolatry of the flesh and the degradation of the human spirit can survive. A civilization that raises its children to revel in spiritual emptiness and sexual decadence is a doomed one.<\/p>\n<p>If Americans do not summon the moral courage to turn back the tide of the neo-Marxist predation of our children \u2013 in schools, in library story time, in our TV shows, in our very streets \u2013 then we will have deserved our doom.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<br \/>\nHT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com\/fpm\/2021\/07\/wapo-promotes-sexual-grooming-children-mark-tapson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FrontPageMag<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Homosexualization_Children_LGBT-Parade_02_850x550.jpg\" alt=\"Progressive Newspapers Promote the Sexual Grooming of Children\" width=\"850\" height=\"550\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Homosexualization_Children_LGBT-Parade_02_850x550.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Homosexualization_Children_LGBT-Parade_02_850x550-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Homosexualization_Children_LGBT-Parade_02_850x550-768x497.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Mark Tapson &#8211; In a saner time, parents wouldn\u2019t allow adults \u201cplayfully\u201d engaged in sado-masochism within a hundred miles of their toddlers The Washington Post, one of the most prominent news outlets in the world, the newspaper whose self-important motto \u201cDemocracy dies in darkness\u201d belies its own undemocratic propaganda, saw fit to promote an &#8230; <a title=\"Progressive Newspaper Promotes the Sexual Grooming of Children\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/2021\/10\/progressive-newspaper-promotes-the-sexual-grooming-of-children\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Progressive Newspaper Promotes the Sexual Grooming of Children\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":497,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"generate_page_header":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[95,176,181,183],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-homosexual-indoctrination","category-lgbt-activism","category-lgbt-tyranny","category-lgbtq-war-on-children"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/497"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13739"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13739\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
