Only if the LGBT community is being targeted rather than an individual within it.

When organised groups of school mums are flooding school board meetings with accusations of grooming because of the teaching of diversity in the classrooms, then it's a community, and not an individual, issue.

It is you who are trying to twist the argument onto something we actually have no disagreement about. I want to stop the sexual exploitation of children as much as everyone who is decent does. It's a non issue.

The people we are discussing are not doing that at all. They are falsely accusing people of grooming when they are doing no such thing.

Having an informed, intelligent debate about what, how and when sex education ought to be taught to children is perfectly reasonable. Who should have that debate is another matter. In my view it needs primarily to be left to education and paediatric experts, with the rest of us standing back. So start a thread if you wish, but I am unlikely to contribute as I don't believe I know enough.

This though is not that debate. It is about the current, deliberately created, storm of anger being directed at the way diversity is now being included in school curriculums in the USA and the way LGBT people are being recognised and respected in ways they were not in the past. Accusing teachers of being groomers for allowing such things in their classrooms is disgusting.

If you mean the aroma of someone sh*tting themselves in their efforts to avoid actually addressing the issue, which is arising from the Fens, yes you can.

There are echoes of Trump to be heard too, in the dark and dank mists which obscure the truth in those desolate parts, in the tactic of accusing your accuser of that you are yourself guilty of.

That it's frequently on show here in the winds from the east doesn't minimise its unpleasantness.

I don't defend those who bring sexuality into the lives of little children. Your words show everyone who you are.

Try saying what you have said here to my face.

The tweet very simply implies that if you use the term " groomer " you are automatically anti LBGT, homophobic and transphobic.

That is what the tweet actually says, whether or not you agree with that is a different issue.

The opinions in the tweet are IMHO nonsense in terms of the association of the word " groomer " and " fa**ot "

I do not think there is any conspiracy to link homosexuality with pedophilia, the two things are different albeit not mutually exclusive.

I do not think being gay would somehow make you abhor pedophilia less.
