"Well, why can't I marry my dog??" Let's talk consent!
The LGBTQ+ debate gets crazy out there doesn’t it?
Raise your hand if you’ve heard this one: “If two men can get married, why can’t I marry my dog?” This is a real thing people throw around.
Or, “If two men can have sex, why can’t I have sex with a child?”
These are real things that are said by people trying to defend homophobic and transphobic views, and distract from the real conversation, from the truth.
I don’t know if they’re just inciting us, or if they really mean it… but in either case, we’re going to deconstruct this silliness today, and talk all about CONSENT!
