Teen Vogue under fire after promoting buggery among teens ‐ editor slaps down criticism with this
2017-07-19
[Blaze] Magazine Teen Vogue found itself in a a bit of a spot after publishing a "how-to" article on "A Guide to Anal Sex."

Parents of teen subscribers called for a boycott of the magazine, after a July 7 article ran and was chock-full of things the magazine’s editors claimed readers "needed" to know about anal sex.

The article’s author, Gigi Engle, wrote, "Obviously there is a lot of stuff on the Internet about anal (we don’t suggest you Google it), but most of what you’ll find is either porn or advice for experienced sexual persons looking to try something new. What about the teenagers? What about the LGBTQ young people who need to know about this for their sexual health?"

Many parents took issue with "What about the teenagers?" and began a hashtag, #PULLTEENVOGUE, and Elizabeth Johnston -- known in some circles, and on Facebook -- as The Activist Mommy -- implored libraries and local stores to pull the offending Teen Vogue issue from its racks and stands.

Speaking to The Todd Starnes Show, Johnston said, "I was truly flabbergasted. They should not be teaching sodomy to our children."

"This is not a Republican issue or a Democrat issue," she later added. "This is not a conservative issue or liberal issue. This is a parent issue."

May I use your logic. How about firearms training for teens. At least in Chicago, they could reduce the number of accidental discharges and poor accuracy that leads to collateral damage. Will you Progs buy that? /rhet question

#1  Unfortunately, 'under fire' in the figurative sense.
