    What if a group of folks got together and let it be known that all of these dildos are being collected and distributed to local LGBTQIA groups for free, or, now hear me out, send them to the white house…

      Would that be safe? They might be unclean after that. Definitely not fit for use.

        Nobody really needs to use them.

            If the Homophobes think that someone is getting a benefit from this they might just stop. It was just a thought.

            The concept of lying is unknown to you?

                I’m not sure if you’re joking or actually confused at this point. Happy to explain if it’s the latter.

                  We are confused as they said to hand them out to LGBTQ+ groups. What other purpose would there be apart from such groups using them? Also the “nobody needs to use them” comment didn’t make sense to us either.

                  So yes please, an explanation would be useful.
