Shermichael Singleton: Kids Shouldn’t Be Thinking of Notions About Gender Until They’re Teenagers

SINGLETON I think most ░░░░░░░░ to the governor s ░░░░░░░░ don t generally care ░░░░░░░░ what grown adults do ░░░░░░░░ s just their businesses ░░░░░░░░ rather I think the ░░░░░░░░ for many conservatives pertains ░░░░░░░░ children whether it s ░░░░░░░░ individuals with kids playing ░░░░░░░░ sports that many conservatives ░░░░░░░░ say this is inappropriate ░░░░░░░░ look at most of ░░░░░░░░ data even many Democrats ░░░░░░░░ with that It s ░░░░░░░░ most of the ads ░░░░░░░░ we saw last year ░░░░░░░░ November were very effective ░░░░░░░░ the vice president on ░░░░░░░░ particular issue The issue ░░░░░░░░ reading books to children ░░░░░░░░ lot of conservatives have ░░░░░░░░ this is a bridge ░░░░░░░░ far Again it s ░░░░░░░░ thing if you re ░░░░░░░░ do whatever you want ░░░░░░░░ do But a lot ░░░░░░░░ conservatives will say we ░░░░░░░░ protect the innocence of ░░░░░░░░ which is why I ░░░░░░░░ those numbers are rolling ░░░░░░░░ PHILLIP I think that ░░░░░░░░ s actually a very ░░░░░░░░ s what s been ░░░░░░░░ conversation which is what ░░░░░░░░ wrong with children being ░░░░░░░░ that gay people exist ░░░░░░░░ gay families exist I ░░░░░░░░ that s the question ░░░░░░░░ is being asked When ░░░░░░░░ say oh we have ░░░░░░░░ protect the children are ░░░░░░░░ protecting the children from ░░░░░░░░ neighbors who might have ░░░░░░░░ sex parents SINGLETON I ░░░░░░░░ it s a legitimate ░░░░░░░░ to raise that many ░░░░░░░░ have raised as it ░░░░░░░░ to sports for example ░░░░░░░░ I get the sports ░░░░░░░░ but I m talking ░░░░░░░░ SINGLETON Let me answer ░░░░░░░░ question PHILLIP Why is ░░░░░░░░ for same sex marriage ░░░░░░░░ has been settled why ░░░░░░░░ that eroding Why are ░░░░░░░░ going back in terms ░░░░░░░░ CARDONA Amongst Republicans PHILLIP ░░░░░░░░ CARDONA Let s be ░░░░░░░░ clear PHILLIP Okay SINGLETON ░░░░░░░░ m telling you why ░░░░░░░░ personally believe part of ░░░░░░░░ reason for this erosion ░░░░░░░░ because many conservatives look ░░░░░░░░ what s occurring with ░░░░░░░░ and they say okay ░░░░░░░░ didn t particularly care ░░░░░░░░ this we didn t ░░░░░░░░ this but it is ░░░░░░░░ it is with same ░░░░░░░░ marriage et cetera Now ░░░░░░░░ would argue many conservatives ░░░░░░░░ I think they re ░░░░░░░░ on this point that ░░░░░░░░ you re seeing this ░░░░░░░░ of transgression about around ░░░░░░░░ children around issues that ░░░░░░░░ would say adults should ░░░░░░░░ adults should think about ░░░░░░░░ notion that kids should ░░░░░░░░ subscribe to notions about ░░░░░░░░ that they really shouldn ░░░░░░░░ be thinking about until ░░░░░░░░ re teenagers is absurd ░░░░░░░░ a lot of conservatives ░░░░░░░░ But I think there ░░░░░░░░ a lot of misguided ░░░░░░░░ there Laughter ELLIS Whoa ░░░░░░░░ So I just want ░░░░░░░░ say that if reading ░░░░░░░░ about LGBTQ families in ░░░░░░░░ makes you gay then ░░░░░░░░ should have been straight ░░░░░░░░ I was read books ░░░░░░░░ straight couples heteronormative couples ░░░░░░░░ entire life So I ░░░░░░░░ also like leave it ░░░░░░░░ the families Like why ░░░░░░░░ government getting involved It ░░░░░░░░ more overreach.”
