A sex education theatre show aimed
at children has been cancelled after
the venue said it had received
"unprecedented threats and abuse".
The Family Sex Show,
featuring topics such as consent,
pleasure and queerness,
was due to be performed at
Bristol's Tobacco Factory in May.
The creators of the show,
who said they had also received threats,
have now cancelled its whole tour.
More than 38,000 people signed a
petition calling for it to be axed.
The petition claimed the show was
"profoundly irresponsible" and "wholly inappropriate".
The show would have featured
full-frontal nudity and those organising
it would "present a severe safeguarding risk",
protesters added.

There is now a genuine, clear and persistent push to "include P under LGBTQ" (referring to paedophilia)... and one of the main things I really do not understand... is how the LGBT community itself is not up in arms about this. Gay men were branded as dangerous and predatory for decades and the progress that was made is now going down the drain, in the name of blinkered acceptance of "all things under the Queer umbrella". There will be a claim that it's not happening until it happens... and then an incredulous insitence that any link being made is bigoted. Safeguarding of children must come first. Always. This has to be resoundingly rejected BY the community... saying "nowt to do with us" later just isn't good enough.

Honestly if it was for young adults, say Uni freshers at 18-21 that would be one thing (god knows Universities could do with some better messaging around things like consent, going by the stats) but under-18 teens is highly questionable and actual children ... it shouldn't even be legal, let alone a good idea.
you have to wonder about the legality, because if the show is not age restricted anyone could attend it

I really hate the word "queer" and pretty much everything it entails. I think the "Queer Community" either overlooks or allows the inclusion of the P, while normal (oft overlooked) LGBT people are against it.
Honestly if it was for young adults, say Uni freshers at 18-21 that would be one thing (god knows Universities could do with some better messaging around things like consent, going by the stats) but under-18 teens is highly questionable and actual children ... it shouldn't even be legal, let alone a good idea.
Children can't consent. Like I know that might seem a redundant thing to say (kids can't go to work but schooling includes preparation for jobs) but exactly what I mean is hard to explain ... Like, I question the motives of those who go on about consent, it kind of feels like they're teaching consent so kids "can" consent ... If that makes sense?

I have nothing against teaching proper anatomy to teenagers as this is also something we fail on massively, but that doesn't need to involve sex in any way, or live shows :facepalm:. And again - teens, not primary-school aged children who only need to know the absolute basics.

I feel I need to add clarity to what I said before, as the counter I always run into is "this is nonsense, the LGBTQ community is absolutely not pushing to accept P"
I just want to clarify that I am absolutely aware of that, and it is NOT what I'm saying. I don't think there's any push or inclination from the community to accept paedophilia.
Rather, it's the "P" that's actively pushing to be included under the umbrella... and I personally don't think there's a strong or vocal enough opposition to this from people who consider themselves to be a part of the LGBTQ community. I see a lot of people who would rather convince themselves it's not happening. I think - and I understand this is for obvious reasons - there's an inherent inclination to be understanding and inclusive so while they don't accept, it's difficult to vocally and clearly reject.
And the issue then is... There isn't and never has been any real requirement for "established member agreement" in adding a group to the LGBTQ umbrella. "Kinks" and "Furries" successfully added themselves under the same banner as gay and trans people (I honestly will never understand why this isn't considered more offensive - although I know gay people who do find it offensive) so why wouldn't "Minor Attracted Persons" (urgh) believe they can plant a flag as a minority group under the same heading?
Frankly it needs to be nipped in the bud, hard, or it's going to happen. And then gay men minding their own business are going to find themselves lumped back in with paedophilia to the same extent they were decades ago.

To be blunt - it's not beastiality, it's humans dressed up as animals, usually having sex outdoors/in the woods etc.
Essentially... it is a kink, but for whatever reason it gets its own whole category. And although this one is an "each to their own" situation - adults can have whatever kind of sex they want so long as it's consensual - I still personally will never understand why it's legit for this to be under the same "umbrella" as homosexuality. Massively offensive to most gay adults, and wildly confusing for gay adolescents.

And why do they need an Umbrella to be under anyway? They want people to accept the way they like to have sex? WHY? I don't care or want to know how other people have sex
I care about how paedos have sex...
I think we should all care about that.

a Twitter statement, it said: "These public performances would have offered safe and positive learning to children, young people and guardians about rights, bodies, sex and relationships".
They said audiences were given information about the content before booking "so they could make an informed decision" as to whether to watch it.
The opposition had "prevented families from opting to attend something that was transparent, consensual and legal," ThisEgg added.
From the article.
I don't see why the issue of sex and consent has to be acted out on stage. It's the law and if parents or guardians are willing to take their children to something like this then a simple birds and bees chat should be easy. There is also lots of age appropriate literature on this subject. I don't see the point. All the singing and silly costumes are just confusing and unecessary.
