Some of us are old enough to remember back when the neo-Puritans used terms like “The Gay Agenda” to terrify parents. They wanted to think LGBTQ+ people were trying to convert your sons and daughters, to win them over for the dark side like Darth Vader.
Today on Twitter if you state a simple fact like 16 year olds are young men and women, you’ll be assaulted with accusations that you are promoting “The Pedo Agenda”
Within a couple of years we’ll see terms like “The Perv Agenda” or “The Kink Agenda”
Or maybe the neo-Puritans will replace the word agenda altogether. But they will find new scary-as-hell labels for sex positive people who want a healthy, natural, realistic approach to erotic activities.
They need to gin up fear. Otherwise they can’t justify the repression.
