re: Illinois Department of Children & Family Services is sponsoring "Pridefest Kiddie Korner"

That’s the same experience I have.

It’s why all of this surprises me. I have met very few people in that community who want this as part of public curriculum. Just one in fact. Again, not at all saying it doesn’t exist, it just seems like there’s entirely too much grouping together going on. It’s sad.

I think people need to be more vocal about this stuff. And listen more effectively. There’s no doubt in my mind we have irrational fear on both sides going on. And that fear becomes rationalized by influential people. I hate it.
