Sadly, I live in a major leftist metropolitan area. Trannies, faggots, and sodomites are not rare. Thankfully they're not the norm, but there are still way too many.
This has technically been a thing since before 2000, allegedly during the weimar Germany era, although I am not so sure I believe it existed that far back.
But yes, some children become brainwashed as well.
Only recently has it festered to th' public eye.
