Can I just say, I absolutely despise the phrase, "traditional family values."

What are "traditional family values"? Love? Respect? Community? Taking care of children? No! I hate that something that sounds so reasonable is a dogwhistle for queerphobia.

There are few things in my life more important than protecting kids. And yet there are people out there who think that aspects of my very existence are harmful to children.
