  • It pays to be gay

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/200 to All on Tue Sep 16 13:58:21 2025
    The Binghamton city school district sent this mass email to all parents:

    https://ibb.co/PzCndq5f

    "Are you the parent of an l/g/b/t/q child? Get paid up to $160 each for your participation in a study."

    This is ridiculous. The school KNOWS that there are certain parents who are sh1tty enough to push their children to be gay just so they can get their hands on $160. ($160 is like a whole week's worth of crack.)

    Not all the parents will see it the same way as me, but I see this as an initiative to make more gay and/or trans kids. If they aren't gay enough when the study begins, they'll be gay AF by the time it's over.

    There's so much wrong with this; and another thing is what's with the mixing of t in the lgbtq acronym? What's trans got to do with sexual orientation?

    But I think we missed the answer to the question: "Where's this money coming from?"

    If from the school, we can cut their funding.
    If from a private group, we can out them for pushing this trash - and potentially cut THEIR gov't funding.

    You're right. I'm gonna email them to ask a few questions. I'll make it look like I'm interested, but I'll say "BTW who's funding this and why?"

    Always follow the money. It's pretty much the only trail that they can't hide.

    I found out that it's funded by the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs.

    It's difficult to get answers from leftists because they don't say anything different from what the TV says.

    And because they don't like telling the truth.
