Remember when it was all, “Gays are just nice, normal people entitled to their privacy like anyone else”? Somehow that’s become, “Gays like to bang animals and they want to tell your kids about it in secret!”
If the latter sounds “homophobic” to you, rest easy. It’s officially the line taken by “Respectful Relationships” educators in Victorian schools. Apparently there’s nothing so respectful as getting chock-a-block up Fido. And “queer” people who want to recruit young girls in secret sessions totally aren’t “groomers”.
The South Australian Department for Education is investigating a presentation delivered to year 9 girls in a regional high school that allegedly referenced bestiality as being accepted by the LGBTQIA+ community.
If you’ve ever wondered, well, now you know what the “+” means: +Rover, +Dobbin, and + however many rodents you can fit up your bodily orifices.
Students say they were then given an explanation of the initialism LGBTQIA+, with each word and its meaning displayed on the screen.
“There was a slide for what the ‘plus’ means, and they just started randomly saying words that no-one knew, like bestiality,” Emelia said.
“It was on the board when they were showing what the ‘plus’ meant.”
It was all part of so-called “Respectful Relationships”, the Australian equivalent of New Zealand’s “Mate and Dates”. Like that program, it seems an awfully lot more like grooming than education. Not least in that it’s conducted under a shroud of secrecy. Including schools abrogating their duty and leaving children without the supervision even of teachers. Nor with the knowledge or consent of parents.
Female students said teachers at Renmark High School told them to leave their lessons and attend a presentation in a separate classroom.
Students who attended the presentation on March 22 say two staff from the Headspace centre in the neighbouring town of Berri introduced a “third-party” presenter who facilitated an hour-long presentation focused on relationships.
Parents said they were not notified about the presentation, nor was it consented to.
Students said they were left unsupervised for the duration of the presentation.
What ensued gobsmacked even the kids.
Student Courtney White, 14, said she felt confused and blindsided by the presentation […]
“The first slide of the PowerPoint on the board was ‘You can see queerly now’ and ‘No point hiding.'”
Because there’s nothing ominous about that.
Fourteen-year-old Emelia Wundenberg said the presenter was graphic when referencing their own sexual preferences and spoke in sexually explicit terms about growing up and being confused about whether they idolised people of the same gender or wanted to be intimate with them […]
The students said bestiality was then explained in detail and the presenter seemed to imply it was something practised by people who identified as LGBTQIA+.

Yet if Brian Tamaki, say, said that “gays are perverts who like to bang animals”, the screeching of “homophobia” would be deafening.
“They said [the queer community] just accepts all of it, even though … isn’t it illegal?” Emelia said.
And there’ll be the part where they’ll argue that the law is wrong to stigmatise “queer” relationships — and you just know what other currently illegal practise they’ll be praising next.
At least some of the kids had the sense to get the hell out of Dodge.
As the talk went on multiple girls, including Courtney, began to feel uncomfortable and asked to leave the classroom to “go to the bathroom”.
“We’re all just sitting there like, ‘What the hell? What are we doing here? Why are we learning about animals having sex with humans?'” she said.
“It was really disgusting, it was really uncomfortable.”
Emelia said many of those who asked to leave the classroom did not return.
The school is ducking for cover.
When the ABC sought comment from the presenter a response was sent on the person’s behalf asking that reporters refrained from reaching out or naming them in its coverage.

Well, as we know, schools have an even more dire track record when it comes to covering up for groomers and predators than churches did.
As for the groomers, they’re playing their usual game of misdirection and getting on their high horse. According to so-called “LGBTQIA+ inclusion advocates”, “the alleged use of the word bestiality in the presentation was damaging to the queer community”.
Not nearly so damaging as being caught out trying to groom kids. Again.
