That’s the problem though.

The term “adult” isn’t bigger than the LGBT+

At it’s heart, it’s part of homophobia

Terms like “family friendly” and “kid friendly” have been used to ban LGBT+ since the inception in homophobia.

It’s still used to ban drag story hour.

They see drag queens in their PG outfits reading kids books to children and they call that “exposing children to sexual deviancey” that’s “inappropriate for children” despite the fact that there’s nothing sexual about the behavior.

You don’t understand why banning horror games for being too violent is part of the LGBT+ erasure, but the crux of the issue is bigots have never stopped trying to ban kids from LGBT+ spaces. Kids are still banned from LGBT+ spaces where I live and the LGBT+ community has to do everything it can to be “family friendly” including ban the serving of alcohol to prevent teens from being banned from their space.

And the moment we start allowing big businesses and governments to determine what is and isn’t appropriate for public consumption, you better fucking bet that the fucking assholes that protest in front of my local gay bar during drag brunch is gonna use that opportunity to shove every bit of queer expression that I’ve fought for the past decade to normalize back into the closet.

It’s 100% about the gay shit. Because believe it or not we’re still not much improved from where we were in the 80s at the height of the gay aids crisis. Assholes are just waiting for their opportunity to drag us back there kicking and screaming, and they’ll absolutely use this “adult” label to do so.
