These 'family focus' groups, who waste their time on censoring what they don't like, instead of spending quality time with their own children, keeping a closer eye on the foster care system and orphanages to prevent abuse and neglect caused by lacks of checks and the resources, etc.
This is about /ideology/, they don't don't care about children's welfare and children's rights at all.
That they dared to crusade under its banner, makes me angry, especially when they distract politicians from the real sufferings of real children that needs to be addressed.
(Note, I do have an LJ, but sorry, I really don't want those people on my doorstep. But hey, ya know my IP so it's not completely anon)
...and these people are sick cowards who cared more about appearances than actual good and ill. Since I'm commenting anon, I'm going to share with you a memory that makes me sad to this day. I was never assaulted, though I've been groped a plenty when I wasn't careful enough to remember that apparently men can't control themselves when not blindfolded and manacled. They have, all fortunately, been from strangers, not relatives.
My relatives are only emotionally abusive, mostly, as a result, I never felt safe around them.
When I was in junior high, I had a surgery, and coming back from being put under, I felt really weak, and vulnerable, so more that usual, I didn't want a certain relative there. The response was, ANGER, expressed by another relative, "Do you know how this will LOOK to other people that you don't want him here?", their first concern was how it looks, not my feelings. ...and I'm fortunate that he never touched me that way, but what if he had? That bitch would have then just told me that I should never tell.
