And I absolutely believe you’d hear some folks joking around about “coming for their children.”

I strongly suspect if he ever responded with a source it would involve a carefully trimmed clip from that SF gay men's chorus piece that caused a stir a while back, found a link for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArOQF4kadHA

An entire piece built around the lines "we'll convert your children" and "we're coming for your children" that's pretty prone to having unfortunate clips cut from it to scare right wingers.

“LGBTQ+” is not an organization. It’s not a religion or a creed. It doesn’t “say” anything - and, in fact, isn’t even an “it” in the context you’re using!

It’s a term for a group of people that have nothing to do with each other, other than some shared traits. In your comment, replace “LGBTQ+” with another word for a group of unrelated humans. “Blondes,” maybe, or “women,” “men,” “dark skinned folk,” “humans,” etc. You can’t put something like “Americans” or “Christians” in that sentence, because those are too specific.

Can you see the problem now?

Except in that case you can't exclude anyone from "the LGBTQ+ community" provided they are not straight or not cis. See people talking about Milo Yian-etc back in 2014-2020, or people's reaction to radqueer shit.
