Let's be clear: the false narrative that links grooming with LGBTQ+ individuals is nothing but a despicable lie, born out of hatred and ignorance.   The truth is that most child sexual abusers are heterosexual. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with it.   What's at play is a sick and twisted desire for power, not love. Yes, kids ARE being groomed – prepped, taught, indoctrinated, predisosed – but what they are being groomed for is hate and conditional love and bigotry. We are being played with this false narrative and enough is enough. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1352353/open_sms">Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) </a><a rel="payment" href="https://www.freedhearts.org/donate">Support the show</a>
