Adults possess liberty and personal responsibility.
What an adult chooses to do privately is not the business of government simply because another person disagrees with it.
But children deserve something different.
Children deserve a childhood.
They deserve protection from exploitation, abuse, and unnecessary exposure to adult political and ideological battles.
We reject the use of children as instruments in political movements.
We reject the normalization of treating childhood as something that must be politically defined before a child is old enough to understand the world around them.
We believe children deserve the freedom to grow, learn, play, develop, and discover who they are without being made into political symbols.
Children deserve the freedom to simply be children.
If you stand with these words, share them!
