Seriously. They're toe-nails. And they're pink. No, they won't make you gay or trans or anything else. Nothing as simple as toe-nail colour is going to make you GBLT.
Hey, but if you ARE worried about your kids needing therapy – then keep on freaking about those nails. Because it's so helpful to have your kids constantly feel like they have they have to conform to a gender norm that doesn't fit them. Or how about guys who feel they have to be hyper-masculine and violent otherwise they're not “manly.” How about the women who feel they have to be demure and silent (and non-sexual) in order to be properly “feminine.”
How about the GBLT people who constantly have their gender questioned? How about the trans and the genderqueer and the non-binary who will be made to feel like freaks for their presentation with parents flipping out at anything that deviates from such narrow narrow stereotypes.

That is a day when people do not speak to draw attention to the silence that surrounds so much homophobic abused and homophobic bullying. This is what the day is about
Focus on the Family want to commemorate this with – harassing gay people! Yes, let's have a “Day of Dialogue” on this day to try and CONVERT gay people
Because, y'know, when a persecuted, abused and bullied group protests that, the best way to respond is to harass, persecute, abuse and bully them!
