YOU WERE WARNED




Lawmakers in 9 states propose measures to undermine same-sex marriage rights




Your neighbor's marital status does no harm to you.

This is another assault by religious fanatics and authorities to interfere with Americans' private lives.

What's next? Interracial marriages? Interdenominational marriages?


VIDEO: A visibly nervous Michigan State Rep. Josh Schriver (R-Oxford) introduces a resolution to condemn the Obergefell decision that legalized gay marriage nationwide. “If we cannot conserve the bedrock of our civilization, the family, then we cannot call ourselves conservative anymore … Now is the time to reassert Christ as our king.” Sen. Jeremy Moss (D-Southfield), who is openly gay, sat in the front row then immediately took to the podium to call it “buffoonish.”

Christian Nationalists, back in the bedroom fighting for the ignorance and bigotry that Jesus of Nazareth would rail against. Rather than expressing and living the love for all humanity that Jesus preached these ignorant unenlighted purveyors of hate are doing exactly as their pinched minds have salivated over doing since the SCOTUS did the right thing.

Christian supported religious bigotry and fascism now on full display. Again.

But but but the Log Cabin Republicans told anyone who would listen (not many) that Marriage Equality was the law of the land so hey, nothing to worry about with their support of MAGA.

Idiots.

The commentators over at JoeMyGod saw this coming last year. They are ready, not exactly thrilled but this isn't new, it's just completely exhausting. I've said it elsewhere but when religion is banned completely from the public square it will be entirely due to the actions of the Nationalist Christians and their cohort. Good job you intelligence deficient bigots. You took yourselves out.

No really, glad you are imploding by following your sincerely held beliefs to the bottom of a very deep hole you dug yourself. Next time you poke your head out of your hole perhaps include the rules governing the country in which you reside to your eschatology.

Another liar republican. "The American Psychological Association (APA) and other major health organizations firmly state that a child's development is not negatively impacted by their parents' sexual orientation."

So... I've got lots of friends on both sides of the political divide and in the middle too. Here's what I hear from them. Mind you, I'm just sharing their words, thoughts, worries, etc.

That's the best I can do for a disclaimer... like the words and opinons expressed in those words are not necessarily my words.

As I have listened to folks, I keep hearing a few themes coming through as it relates to Trump's election. One of those themes from many, yes religious folks on the right, is that they voted for Trump to stand up to the "radical left wing agenda" allowing "the gays" to be open and push "their sinful views and actions" on others.

When pushed on how we live together in a pluralistic multicultural society, then they pull out the God card.

I doubt there are many on the right feeling "buyer's remorse" at least regarding this part of the GOP/Trump?MAGA agenda. It's baked in. This is not a bug of the Trump agenda, it's a feature.

And make no mistake, absent a full throated denunciation of these state legislative agendas, Trump stands in support and is the chief enabler.

Continuing on the You were warned" theme...

Today the anti vax group RFK Jr. used to head put out a statement on the measles outbreak in Texas. In it they claimed the outbreak was, wait for it, because of the measles vaccine.

And of course, RFK has not repudiated that view.

Your Administration and HHS Secretary working for America.

Christian nationalist bigots, fascists, and other authoritarians don't want to mind their own business. They want to see people they hate suffer.

It is disappointing that the republican party has to preach individual rights and then feels they feel they should control same sex marriage. Most people just don't care if joe marries joe or jane marries jane but it is the lifeblood of some.

I can understand people objecting to the covid vaccine because it was not proven. I have a difficult time with someone objecting to the measles and polio vaccine which has been around for decades and have proven to be effective. I grew up where MMR, and polio vaccine were given at a very young age and if you didn't get them you didn't get into school. The madness needs to be contained.

I heard that the CDC was told to halt work on the annual flu shot, which updates with the latest viral mutations. Push the experts aside, replace them with clueless idiots. What a bizarre, yet apparently popular nightmare of
hopeless stupidity.

It's simple. Nobody forces vaccination on people. So, make vaccines available based on current medical science and recommendations and let people decide for themselves. The intelligent will act wisely and the ignorant will continue to believe idiots like RFK Jr.

Egg shortages.
Fatal measles outbreaks.
Airplane crashes.
Crypto scams.
Tariffs.
Betrayal of allies.
Pardons and special favors for insurrectionists, crooked mayors, and online pimps.
The American people voted for change!
