Oh Look, ANOTHER LGBTQ Celebration Day. GLAAD Declares 'Nonbinary Parents Day'

If one thing is true about our culture, it's that we just don't recognize and celebrate LGBTQ people enough. The marginalized and vulnerable population just needs more visibility!

In April, GLAAD recognizes:

April 6: International Asexuality Day
April 10: National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
Third Friday of April: Day of Silence
April 18: National Transgender HIV Testing Day
April 18: Nonbinary Parents Day
April 26: Lesbian Visibility Day

Apparently, it's been quite a weekend, being a 'Day of Silence,' (if only], National Transgender HIV Testing Day and ... Nonbinary Parents Day.

Wait what?

Happy Nonbinary Parents Day, celebrating all nonbinary people raising families. 💛🤍💜🖤 pic.twitter.com/DJv6NUFqC6

This is a thing, it seems. Planned Parenthood also marks the celebration saying,

Defying gender stereotypes, traditional gender roles, and the gender binary; this encourages your kids to explore their own interests, personality, and identity — free from the constraints of gender
Modeling gender diversity in parenthood, which can inspire people to explore more ways to be a parent
Creating safer, affirming homes and communities: you’re not only increasing young people’s self-confidence and their ability to be who they are, but you’re also nurturing a kinder and more compassionate community, which can help cut down on bullying and discrimination

Alrighty then.

And here I was thinking you couldn't embarrass yourselves more than you already had.

So, Narcissistic Parents Day then? https://t.co/RhNNJUoMZQ

Planned Parenthood advises all parents to, 'Talk about the existence of nonbinary people and parents with your kid. Make sure they know that not all parents are a mom or a dad, and that not all people are boys or girls.'

Which, as you might imagine, seems to throw a bit of a hefty wrench into the whole transgender push. If we are supposed to be devaluing the idea of gender stereotypes, why are 'trans' kids, 'affirmed,' with them? Being 'free from the constraints of gender,' seems to conflict with the absolute adherence to gender norms in dress, pronouns and cosmetic surgeries trans activists argue is socially and medically necessary.

'Challenging the gender binary helps everyone break free from gender roles that can limit our ability to be our full selves — especially in how we show up as parents.'

Everyone?

So, everyone is nonbinary now? Doesn't that kind of diminish the importance of Nonbinary Parents Day?

Speaking of narcissism.

How is pretending you don't have a sex a new way to be a parent? I thought parenting was about raising children and not all about the validation of the parent.

What really matters is that your kids do everything in their power to affirm your identity, mom. Wait, no, what do you call a nonbinary parent exactly? 'Dear Caregiver?'

What does one call non-binary parent?
Zom/Zaddy
Dam/Mod
or is it Maps?

Also, @glaad “non-binary” is not in “Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation”. Change your name, you don’t represent Gay and Lesbian interests. https://t.co/wrJSLo1zKN

Is it today?
Also, what's a nonbinary parent? He must have been a woman or a man to become a parent, right? How can a woman or a man become nonbinary all of a sudden?
When they decided to have children they must have used their biological reality.
So confusing... https://t.co/bzrEqd2uXA

A generation of adults who think the entire world revolves around them and kids are just another prop to use for their own self-esteem.

The straights are at it again. https://t.co/OF4JRUBgD4

The joke, of course, being that completely average heterosexual women want to be special too so they cut their hair and call themselves 'nonbinary.'

This is not a thing. This is not real. Your organization is a joke. https://t.co/zpCB8jQ3h6

I mean, how many nonbinary parents could there possibly be?

Exactly how many nonbinary parents does it take to create a sperm-fertilised human ovum? https://t.co/BBiQWgSxek

To be clear, almost all the nonbinaries are just lesbians who don't want beards.

Finally, a day that doesn't celebrate anyone. It's just a day off! Nonbinary people can't exist!

Happy celebrate no one day! https://t.co/0UfvZYZGc1

Sort of like, 'Asexual Awareness Day,' which there are somehow three celebration days for, it all seems kind of pointless, right?

'Come celebrate my not being something!'
