The queering of society: Introductory speeches

[@marwar819]

One of the things going on, is that millionaires and billionaires are financing it. Politically buying cities who promote LGBTG. My queer city just got millions for housing. Politicians are selling us out. Thanks for staying on this issue.

[@stephanieroth16]

This pernicious ideology has seemingly risen from nowhere and has attached itself on every sector of society, from women's reproductive health to the oppression of Palestinians. Its tentacles are putrefying and fouling human relationships and breaking down human decency.

Infantilization of adults really got me.

Being "ostracized" when one is a natural introvert is not really that much of a threat.

[@JohnSmith-vr3xr]

Thank you. I so wonder where and how this movement got a hold of the younger generation

[@tonyhoffman3309]

Via cuture, education and prior to those places, via media and gaming tech directed at children.

[@9395gb]

Online

[@andylewis7360]

Left wing teachers. Aren’t they all?

[@GregSheffer]

Wow that session was mostly a breath of fresh air.

[@ileanamuntean7338]

This is a brilliant event! People from different backgrounds, with different styles and value systems speaking up for what is good.

[@C.Hmoore]

Excellent speakers. Thank you all

[@nickhall7763]

Well this explains the new Jaguar rebrand.

[@larkop6504]

How can we reverse these trends?

[@antbrown9066]

Inherent Expansion Theory. Any course of events proceed along their trajectory to the ultimate potential - unless intervention is applied.

[@TesterBoy]

Repent and believe in Jesus the Christ!

[@gzoechi]

Speak up against it wherever you can. It got so far because nobody intervened. Be cautious though. At many places you'll get banned (cancelled). So decide wisely.

[@parati1309]

Tell the truth. It is possible to support gays, lesbians and T people and not believe in any of that fantastical stuff. There's real evidence to draw from as well. Just look at the pre 21st C as a start. ❤❤

[@andylewis7360]

When 50% of GB population is Muslim you can be sure these trends with disappear like morning mist.

[@nigelbardoe3771]

Came here hoping to hear a correct answer. The last guy was teh closest. It is about changing society, but its attacking capitalism Queer theory is about breaking down societal norms in order to usher in socialism. These people need to go look at Karlyn Borysenkos videos explaining with socialists own videos explaining this.

[@keithnewton9794]

It’s the same with all these ideas….

[@judyschiavone1933]

No, queer theory has been coopted by billionaires. Queer theory is shade for capitalists making money by making your body a commodity, a profit source for billionaires invested in big pharma, medical industrial complex, bio-tech and big finance. The queer leftist have been duped by the capitalists on the Left just as those on the Right have been duped by capitalists on the Right. Both want to colonize our bodies, one for religion one for the AI Tech and medical industries for maximizing profit and eventually to render all of us disposable. Wake up, instead of fighting each other, let's fight back against the the global capitalist billionaires that want to use us for their interests of power and control.

[@Featherfinder]

It seems to me that Solzhenitsyn was right when he said that at the very root of Marxism/the zeal to usher in socialism is hostility towards Christianity and a determination to eradicate it. He certainly knew a whole lot about … a lot.

[@nigelbardoe3771]

@@Featherfinder Socialists don't care about your religion as long as you are a socialist. Hell, they are taking over churches, they are advertising to Christians.

[@jossgower]

Is Queer Theory anti-christian?

[@Clem62]

Wonderful panel. Tell everyone who will listen.

[@waynemcauliffe-fv5yf]

Should make a Horror film about this but no one would buy it

[@parati1309]

Ps. What James Esses said was so depressing. Not shocking it just makes me (as a gay guy) feel terrible. Its lonely being on the outside of the outside but I have no choice. Real downer. Good for James though. Needs to be said.

[@parati1309]

The professor was cool. Just simple wisdom ❤

[@cestmoi4532]

Amazing work. What a wonderful event. Thank you, Claire Fox! I loved your book!

[@Mountebanksrus]

I loved this. so much info & well considered opinions & arguments.

[@marysalluce5475]

Thank you!

[@OrangeCanna9468]

Please edit and Apologies to Professor frank furedi who's great talk was compromised by the constant coughing, wheezing, sniffing and catarrhing ones guts up. Ffs who was that sniveling towards the end, the camera man? God help you!

[@SOLXXX41]

Didn't hear anyone coughing.

[@johnkennedy5528]

Ask every institution that has an EDI policy to explain what they understand Queer to mean. John Kennedy.

[@gzoechi]

It either means they are members of the cult or virtue signalling (or both). Nobody would answer such a question honestly.

[@andylewis7360]

EDI and ESG are behind this pathetic infantilisation.

[@davidjohnzenocollins]

Frank Furedi's audio is too low.

[@worldwrite]

I know we had a real problem with mics in that room and unexpectedly he stood up. I have brought it up artificially as far as I can without distorting it. Any tips or solutions do let me know.

[@whitepanties2751]

It may not be his fault, but strong Hungarian/Magyar accents are hard for native English speakers to understand.

[@PL-rf4hy]

What if they had a Battle of Ideas Festival but only one side showed up? Watch this video and see what that looks like. I think you need a voice or two from the other side to have a full and fair debate. I'm not stating a position; I'm just pointing out that there's no battle going on in this room, really.

[@CL-he4jz]

I guess the point is, like certain world events of late, that ALL we hear is the allowed viewpoints. already. we all know those very well indeed. because there is pressure to only accept these " correct " viewpoints. We KNOW how we must think and what we are NOT allowed to challenge or question. People have named such systems, historically. When differing perspectives are allowed, humans can be interested tolerant and intelligent. When they are not allowed, you have to ask WHO is doing the disallowing.

[@tomwright9904]

Possible that the other side refused to partake

[@PL-rf4hy]

@@tomwright9904 If that's true I would think that would have been noted at the beginning. Maybe I missed it.

[@tozmom615]

It is likely the other side refused to participate. That’s the track record and I strongly suspect it is because they intuitively know at a deep level that they are illogical and their ideas won’t stand up to any scrutiny.

[@nickhall7763]

From what I’ve seen all they do is shout over anyone who disagrees with them anyway. Perhaps it is better the rest of us enjoy a rational conversation without their hysterics.

[@jaderington]

😅🤣😂😆

[@J1mmyMack]

I don't think this panel helps you. It makes the panellists seem just generally reactionary and conservative, and applying a critical understanding of the word queer as representing its maddest elements to all things labelled queer, including its socially acceptable elements. I'd even suggest you take the video down as it could provide fodder for your opposition to argue these people should just be entirely dismissed. I think it's better to be specific about an issue to discuss (in good faith) and go topic by topic.

[@TheYgds]

You cannot engage with this material "in good faith". Such attempts at sophisticated address of its perniciousness have been treated in the same fashion by its pundits as more reactionary and less intellectually comprehensive retorts. There is only the extreme and absurd, because the intellects that birthed it were students of nihilism and chaos. There are, and should not be any socially acceptable elements, as accepting the beginnings of it inevitably leads to the enshrining of its ends, not because it is a slippery slope, but because sexual minority practices are, when placed in a position to advocate their acceptance, must of necessity give space for ever smaller and more divergent elements. The extremes and absurd are part and parcel of the whole, and cannot be exorcised without setting the whole thing aflame. This is the great mistake of good-willed homosexual individuals, they failed to see their own sexuality as malignant, or to see that sexuality itself has the potential for malignancy, the same way the desire for food, or comfort is potentially malignant. It is folly from the get go. If sex was not required for human flourishing and reproduction, I'd say it too should be ousted from our social conduct completely, if only to avoid this parade of debauchery and villainy.

[@StillAliveAndKicking_]

This nonsense is invading our society, it is everywhere, in schools, in adverts, in the olympics and so on. We even have an entire month where we are supposed to prostrate ourselves to our bettersi.e. the camp minority of gay people. It’s absurd. What the fudge is going on?

[@zeenuf00]

Found the queer ideologue troll

[@lesliemacmillan9932]

Disagree. It's all on point. It's every bit as bad as they say it is.

[@tozmom615]

As an alleged member of the “community” I can only say what I have noticed- we moved in the 1980s from wanting to just be accepted and not demonised to sometime between 2000 and 2010 going batsh!t mad. We went from wanting to be represented to demanding that we dominate. I watched a Netflix series at the weekend. To watch it you’d think a full 33-66% of the population were homosexual, not the 1-5% we really make up.
