    I hope everyone here is aware that fascism has now taken hold in America and never before in the history of mankind has fascism stepped down when politely asked to do so.

    It has always required force.

    They’re all a bunch of f-----, that want to walk around, come on our streets, and demand our children. And we should look them in the eye and say, ‘No, you’re not going to have our children!’

    Statistically, a child is at greater risk of being sexually abused by a preacher than a member of the LGBT community

      Religion is an endemic mental illness. I’d say people should keep it to themselves and once they leave their house, I don’t want to hear anything about it, or it’s off to the mental institution.

      Be careful, you’ll upset the “real christians”, who will tell you about how this person is a “fake”, because Jesus said “love thy neighbor”, and all the other things in the Bible “don’t count” for some reason.

        No, religion as a concept is incompatible with civilized life. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism etc. all make human life on earth objectively worse. Whether they are the origin or just an outlet for human depravity doesn‘t matter, they all need to be left in the past. Or the past with all its wars and suffering will not leave us.

          Nonsense. They also uplift people and do a lot of good in the world. Billions of people find benefits in religion. The problem is human nature.

            Yes, human nature being susceptible to violent propaganda from religious groups that deliberately creates in-groups and demonizes out-groups which leads to war and genocide at the behest of the rich who are the only beneficiaries.

            I look at it like organized crime, you can invest your time, money and mind and you might see some benefits for yourself and your family but it causes untold harm to others and is a net negative overall.

        If you want to censor them, you don’t have to murder them.

        Maybe put them in prison. They can only read the Bible or pro-LGBT literature, eat only vegan food, go nude or wear sackcloth, and given a choice between breaking rocks or participating in group therapy conducted by psychologists and psychiatrists who are openly gay, TG, and/or Otherkin.

        There isn’t, because the source is his ass.

        This was a pastor in Indiana during a sermon that was live-streamed on Facebook. So, like, funded by a PAC in what way exactly?

        No PAC is mentioned in the article at all, much less a Chick-fil-A backed one. And this isn’t even tied to anything that would require any funding anyway.

        I’m no Chick-fil-A apologist, but like, the idea that this is some secretive super-PAC that Chick-fil-A is using to fund pastors calling for the death of gay people is some Q-Anon level nonsense.

    My supervisor is a lesbian who proudly introduces people to her wife, and she is as rabid a Trumper as I’ve ever met. I’ve tried to introduce her to the “Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party” concept but she doesn’t understand the point. She has somehow concluded that it is Republicans who have fought for and won gay rights (like the right to marry that she’s a beneficiary of) while Democrats want to take those rights away. I don’t have any idea how somebody gets to a mental state like that - I can’t accuse her of drinking the Kool-Aid because no Republican media says anything like that.

    She really hates black people so her basic conservative stance is at least understandable. Except that she talks loudly about how she wants to bang the black guy that delivers our water bottles.

        I’m going to use slightly more words than you but she’s a modern day conservative: Her special circumstances are “okay” however other peoples are not. She should be protected, others should not.

        She claims that she was never interested in women until she met her current wife. She is the absolute archetype of a butch lesbian so I don’t know what to say about that.

          As a butch lesbian who considers my (left) politics a core part of my gay identity, how the heck is a Trumper the “absolute archetype?”

          Are you just using stereotypes about how a certain kind of lesbian dresses? Because I guarantee a large subset of non-feminine women act/dress just like her without it having anything to do with sexuality.

          Anti-fascist and anti-capitalist action are huge parts of being butch; it’s an OG blue collar gay identity. Please don’t equate nasty Trumpers with us. She can have a wife but the queer community sure don’t claim her.

    Normal people don’t look at others and think “they want our children [sexually].” 🤮 I’m unaware of any proof that LGBTQ+ folks prey on kids at higher rates than cishet predators. They need to check this guy’s computer and keep him away from children…

      As far as I have been able to find, the material published on there being a higher per capita amount of preds in the LGBTQ community have been discredited, and most of these claims come from a small number of papers, largely published years ago, by conservative groups pay

    Why single out gays? It also says to kill adulterers, stubborn children, women who aren’t virgins when they marry, people who work on the Sabbath, and mediums who talk to the dead.

    Remove their tax-exempt status. The distinct separation of church and state should prevent this murderous group of sycophants from tax-free status.

    Did Jesus ever say a single word about LGBTQIA+ issues ever?
