Congressional homophobes and transphobes just can't stand Pride Month.

    They’re endangering children by misusing the term grooming

      There’s a reason they use the term grooming so much. It’s because that’s what they do, and have been rightfully accused of it so much that they need to work so hard to dilute the meaning of the word. By accusing everyone else of grooming, they make it seem like the accusations against them aren’t a big deal when they really are.

      Truly heinous people who do that shit.

        They groom children every day and point the finger at everyone else. I’m sick of it

    Man the only kind of grooming Sesame Street possibly does is having lessons on personal hygiene.

    Sesame Street has been grooming kids. Look at all the celebrities they had on there… They groom kids for the pop American consumerism life. Even as a kid I thought it was fucked up that they basically used the show as marketing…

    Let’s face it… America raped the soul of the pride movement. It’s marketing, it’s pop. It is manipulation. You wanna rep the pride movement? Buy guns and risk your life (don’t do this… Not advocating that). Anything else is marketing. Let’s be real here, American life is bullshit and that includes sesame Street.

      Companies will strip and homogenize anything just to make a quick buck. Pride needs to be every day.

      Literally always. Fascist groomers stole a generation of young men.

      who are you accusing of being a pedophile? and what confusion are you referring to, specifically?

          This is an objectively terrible take. Cinemax is fine, but Sesame Street is where the rubber meets the road?

          When I was growing up in the '80s, some considered it scandalous that they had a Black character whom everyone got along with. This is just the latest boogeyman.

          Show me the data that 3-year-olds are being turned trans by Sesame Street, and we have a starting point, instead of pointless, naked bigotry. The literal core of the show is teaching tolerance, acceptance and friendship. If you find this offensive, the problem is you, not CPB.

          when you kiss your wife’s cheek in front of a child, are you a pedophile?
