    As I stated earlier today, "Another nail in my coffin."
    Well, here's yet another nail in my coffin.

    https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2018/04/trump-will-rescind-transgender-health-care-protections/

    We all knew it would happen, though.

    "Citing previous federal court rulings, a 2016 rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said that the ban on sex discrimination in the ACA extended to discrimination based on gender stereotypes and discrimination against women who had had abortions and transgender people.


    Now Donald Trump’s HHS is set to roll back that rule, saying that it interferes with health care providers’ “religious freedom” and that the ACA was never meant to protect transgender people’s rights."

    Jesus must be weeping in Heaven as to how we can be so mean and nasty to one another using the ideas he set forth for us, the exact opposite of the peace and love he had to have meant.

    This is obscene. The rule was clearly made ambiguous as to protect even those they did not specifically list as protected.

    I feel like He is horrified at the conditions of the human race. 2,000 something years since He's been here and what progress have we made? I sometimes wonder if He feels his efforts were useless.

    But it's okay though, because Trump with have to answer to him in the end. And I hope that, despite Jesus being a forgiving and merciful god, He doesn't let Trump into Heaven, and actually kind of messes with him a bit. In fact, I hope He builds a large wall around Heaven when Donald's time comes, to keep him out.

    I have a feeling that this in one of the issues somebody will fight in court. I hope that this is a battle that can be won in court.

    I can’t think of any reply other than this that doesn’t involve the f word.

    It’s difficult to express how I feel about your “religious freedom”

    My faith in humanity was already pretty broken today, but this just made it even worse. :disappointed_relieved:

    Yet another reason we absolutely have to vote the Democrats back into congress this year, and into the presidency in 2020.

    Yup...he seems to be a world class prick.

    Like saying London stabbings and hospitals are like a war zone, and if everyone had guns instead they would just blow these knife wielders away...forgetting the fact that these knife wielders would instead own guns and kills lots more people...it's so easy to pull a trigger. Too much like the wild west mentality still, unfortunately. How many people would the Last Vegas shooter have killed if he had a knife instead of guns?

    I couldn't agree more. All this religious liberty bs is just their way of trying to get back at us for marriage equality. They're sore losers and hypocrites pretending to be holy while lying and bearing false witness to try to get their way. To be clear I'm not talking about all religious people since there are many who stand with us.

    Greater Christianity needs to stop being so butthurt about lgbt issues. I know I'm preaching to the choir, and I know not all churches are bad (I myself am a member of one of the good ones) but the vast majority are horrible places for any type of outsider, especially members of the lgbt community, and I'm sick of my religion being touted as an excuse for homophobia. They condemn homosexuality and being transgender (even though the bible only ever touches on homosexuality, and even that can be and is debated) as sins, so "let he who has never sinned cast the first stone." News flash, literally hundreds of nonsensical things are sins if you really take the time to read the bible. I guarantee you that everyone on this earth has sinned at one time or another in thier lives, and will sin again. Rant over. Sorry folks.

    Seriously! It is the book of Leviticus that inspires homophobia, a book which also promotes men selling their daughters into slavery. Wake up, people.
