Petition signed by almost 20K bashes ‘non-binary and transgender extravaganza’ planned for Thanksgiving Day Parade, NY Post, Shannon Thaler

November 13, 2023

In a Macy's Thanksgiving Parade discussion, Cynthia, Jonathan, Infidel, and Phoebe explored the recent petition by the conservative group "1 Million Moms." Cynthia introduced the topic, highlighting the group's objections to the parade's perceived non-binary and transgender focus.

Jonathan promptly dismissed the group as an "extreme right, religious bot," accusing them of stifling queer expression. He critically analyzed their numerical claim, revealing a vast disparity between their name and actual followers, suggesting waning support. Infidel, initially disinterested, delved into the group's genuine concerns about societal change.

Infidel emphasized that the 1 Million Moms' motivation stems from fear, painting a picture of a group witnessing a transformation that challenges their deeply ingrained values. While not agreeing with their assessment, he acknowledged their genuine fear of the changing societal landscape.
Infidel noted that the group perceives the dismantling of the illusion within their society, built on values they hold dear. Their reaction, according to Infidel, mirrors that of offended children when their cherished beliefs are challenged. He delved into the group's perspective on the liberal LGBTQ agenda, emphasizing how it challenges the traditional values they hold in high esteem.

Phoebe, critical of the 1 Million Moms, questioned the authenticity of their petition numbers, linking them to inflated figures and the notorious Daily Mail's anti-trans agenda. She dismissed the group as "rent-a-goons" seeking attention and advised against giving them any significance.

Cynthia redirected the discussion to artistic expression, drawing parallels between historical criticisms of artists like Mozart and Lil Kim. The group agreed that the 1 Million Moms' objections stem from fear of societal change and discomfort with a more diverse landscape.

Jonathan predicted the group's inevitable decline, labeling them as the dying gasps of those resisting progress. Infidel expressed hope for a future where such groups become irrelevant, while Phoebe likened them to dying dinosaurs.

Cynthia underscored ongoing conversations about inclusion and representation, contrasting the parade's celebration of diversity with the 1 Million Moms' exclusionary stance. The panel invited viewer input, signaling a commitment to fostering dialogue on these crucial issues.
