Why Am I Forced to Know of Bedroom Activity?

I am not interested in what goes on in any individual bedroom.  I am not interested in whether LGBT or straight activity is going on.  I don't want to know if there are any deviant activity or not.  So WHY AM I FORCED TO KNOW WHAT LGBT ACTIVITY IS GOING ON BY LGBT ACTIVISTS?

Would it be offensive to have a Straight Pride parade?  We are forced to witness Gay Pride parades all over the country through newscasts, newspapers, magazines, etc.

Why is it offensive to desire non-trans restrooms?  I am not interested whether or not a Trans uses any particular restroom  However, if one LOOKS like a male, he/she should use a men's room.  If one LOOKS like a female he/she should use the ladies room.  Why would one intentionally want to draw attention to himself/herself if they are really interested in privacy?

Why do I need to participate in the deviant activities and appear to agree with them, when doing so is contrary to my own beliefs?

Why is it acceptable to force these things on me?

Why is not acceptable for me to observe and practice my 1st Amendment rights?

Why am I criticized for practicing my religion.  Why are Churches being criticized for practicing their stated precepts?

While I love each member of my family, I do not need to know what they do in their own homes, and I am not interested in having any of my posterity report that information to me unsolicited.  These things are personal and private, in my opinion, and do not need to  shared.

Dale and Maxine (the In-Laws)

Dale and Maxine

Dale and Maxine fell in love in September
of 1950 and began their family that we all remember.
It was the beginning of every-day family life.
There was great joy, and love, and very little strife.

There were cats, dogs, birds and even some fishes.
Poems were written while the kids washed dishes.
There were Proms, Scouts, Church and schools.
And there were jobs to do, little time for the city pool.
There was Little League, Band and oh-so-much going on,
8 children to raise, feed, clothe and so-on.

Through it all, Dale and Maxine let their love grow vast.
The children were growing and leaving the nest.
Four of the children were called by the Prophet to serve
Which pleased Dale and Maxine, though it took much nerve.
Money was tight, but with care it was enough to make it all work.
Each child knew they were loved and had great worth.

Some of their children also have children in this story.
21 grandchildren to expand Dale and Maxine’s glory.
Great grandchildren are coming, no telling the count.
Each one will know they are loved and will recount
To their own clan the stories told of Dale and Maxine
And the love that they share in the Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring.

Dale passed beyond the veil some time back
But his love for Maxine has never been slack.
She has been lonely, but she knows
He’s waiting for her and his love still flows.
