Baptist Minister Demands His 'First Amendment Right' To Bully Gay Teens - The New Civil Rights Movement There should be a law... To lock up idiots!
That first quote under the title. I abhor whenever love is used as a tool for coercion or as a mask for acts of discrimination and/or violence (physical, mental, spiritual, etc.).
So, I suppose it's safe to assume me opening a Satanist cult nextdoor to him and playing heavy metal music at full blast all night, and put up a "fuck your god" billboard pointed at his window, it's all cool? It is my first amendment right, after all. He should respect it.
They can claim that their methods are "loving" all they want, when in reality we know they consist of shaming, coercion, and in some cases, abuse. It is anything but "loving", but this isn't the first time that Christians have called coercion and abuse "love" (see the conquest of the New World for a poignant example). Interestingly enough, I have heard a more extreme stance taken that essentially says that bullied LGBT kids at school should receive no protection, as bullying is a natural negative consequence of "choosing to be gay" (with the hope that this will lead to a renunciation of homosexuality). This type of thinking is dangerous and it isn't uncommon. It is the "loving" Christian Right.
What I find even more disturbing is that his views on LGBT people is the only thing that kept him out of there in the first place. ...right. "Provide healing" uh-huh. I wonder if they are letting Muslim, Atheist, and Humanists in to speak with the kiddies as well. How about some Satanists while we're at it? Are all "religions" (as defined by the law) treated equally? I doubt it. Ya gotta get in there and suck that holy Jesus dick if you want out of juvie, apparently. Get on your knees kiddies and praise tha lawd!
Well that's pretty sickening. I root for the DJJ for remaining firm and unscathed by his bigotry! :eusa_clap ride:
Fuck that shit. Eighth Amendment overrides. LGBTQI inmates have a liberty interest not to be treated as less than human that overrides this sexist motherfucker's First Amendment right tto abuse them. He's welcome to post on Reddit, since that community was basically made for him ~ Adrienne
Attention Parents; You want this nut job, a stranger, approaching kids to talk about sex? Can you say "pedophile"?
Hey, There are LGBT Catholics (name a religious group) and LGBT conservatives out there that publicly defend their support for organizations that want to deny the LGBT community their basic civil liberties. They claim "changing things from inside out" while they do literally nothing. Then they will be shocked and appalled with what they supported bites them on the butt. Almost as much as when the LGBT points and says "you are supporting our oppressors". Discrimination and bullying should have the limelight shone on it so the cockroaches can scatter.
It is somewhat humorous to imagine an older, anti-gay religious figure speaking to a young gay person about sex and their sexuality. As a gay teen, that is absolutely the last person I ever would've wanted to approach me about sexuality. "Get lost".
Well, if he can ask for the right to bully gay teens, then i can ask for the right to say that religious conservatives are Heartless Fascists.
