    I will start this out with a disclaimer that I do not follow Christianity at all…

    If you are a bible-follower and friendly towards homosexuals, then I guess you’re skipping over that part where it says “homosexuality is an abomination”.

    That’s one of the many reasons I can’t look to the Bible for guidance. I have some gay friends and they deserve all the love and consideration everyone should get.

    To those that say the Bible deserves to be followed, but exclude the parts where it says homosexuality is an abomination, I wonder what other parts you ignore? AFAIK, one isn’t supposed to flip through the Bible and pick and choose which sections should be followed.

    This is one of the many reasons why I consider the Bible immoral, and following it either immoral or morally and logically inconsistent.

      I respectfully disagree, Jesus doesn’t even mention homosexuality.

      Paul mentions homosexuality, but Paul is very notably not Jesus, he’s basically just a guy who rolls up after Jesus is dead and says he’s an apostle now. There’s also significant cultural context there, and his objection to sex applied to all recreational sex regardless of orientation.

      The Old Testament also mentions homosexuality. I am not sufficiently educated on Hebrew culture to comment on those passages, but I do know that Christians are very explicitly not bound by Old Testament law.

    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.

        no other way does exist. Those no kings protests were nice and all but what exactly even remotely, slightly, changed? nothing. they trucked ahead like they will continue to do.

        Democrat politicians will continue to chirp on twitter and make awesome tiktok vids but that’s all it is at the end of the day, talk. I can only watch so many committee hearings and just know “why am I wasting my time watching this? it’s just a dog and pony show and nothing will come of it.”

        Look I admire AOC and Bernie and the rest of them but peaceful protesting is just going to paint a target on their backs for when they come for them and make no mistake, they will.

        I just think Americans should “make it harder” for when the nazi’s eventually do come knocking.

    I need a better source than that. “Rawstory”? Never head of them! I spent the past 3 days on Reddit and I didn’t see any posts regarding this! Stop posting “news” from media outlets with questionable reliability! You’re only creating panic!

    these people quote whatever the fuck pleases them today.

    the bible literally says to feed the poor and house the homeless and these fucks don’t mention it with a word

    it’s literally just a way to manipulate lots of people in whatever way the rulers prefer

    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

    ws:Bible (King James)/Leviticus#Chapter 20

    12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.

    13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

    14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

    It says nothing about women who have sex with women, or men having sex with men while in a standing (or perhaps seated) position. Also, Leviticus doesn’t use the word “homosexual” or “homosexuality” much less condemn it.

    This fake-preacher lies about what the Bible says.

      As a trans army veteran, this shit is so infuriating and exhausting to me it’s almost fucking surreal.

      We have narcissistic pedophiles and anti-social robber barons running our country and social media platforms, throwing gasoline on the cultural firestorm, disappearing and killing asylum seekers and destroying democracy as we know it, meanwhile these insane religious sects are ignoring all of that and hyperfixating on queer people accusing US of pedophilia and calling for our deaths… while they themselves are participating in pedophile rings that often slaughter children once they age out of being attractive to kiddy fuckers.

      What kind of “society” are we trying to make here exactly?

      At some point the people with empathy have to do violence on the people without.

      We outnumber them. Don’t base it on online. Base it on in person. Online is OVERRUN with bots and trolls. It’s not fucking real. It’s a big fucking lie to scare you into giving up.

      Don’t.

        The people screaming “LGBTQ people are coming for your kids!” are actually the ones coming for your kids.

        Who would have thought.

          Its all repression and projection.

          They accuse everyone of being pedophiles, because they are pedophiles. (Which makes you wonder where their child rape dungeon they actually have is located, considering how obsessed they were with the idea in “pizzagate”)

          They spew vicious hate on gays, cause an overwhelming chunk of them are gay and hate the fact that others can live free and open while they “have” to live suppressed, repressed and in the closet to keep their ideology… Doesnt stop them from soliciting bathroom BJ’s, Frequenting RentBoys, and watching tons of Gay porn though…

    meanwhile, my family: “just don’t be gay for the next 3 and a half years, we don’t need to leave”

    … Right, I’m sure they definitely leave office as scheduled and I’m sure with how quickly things are progressing I’ll still be around to see them do so. Yep. Definitely. 👍
