Some villains take candies from babies. These Christians take happiness and hope away from LGBTQ teens.
Cruelty is their faith. Jesus is nowhere to be found.

Border Patrol tries to shame man with sign saying he is gay
First I do not think liking men is humiliating, but if you are not gay I can see why holding a sign that says that could be insulting. But the point is these people making him do that wanted to hurt him in the worst ways they could think of and to them it is humiliating to be gay. This is what LGBTQ+ people are facing and fighting each day. We need to get rid of this bigotry just as we need to get rid of racism. Hugs

Illegal white immigrants are invisible to white supremacists and white nationalists. It’s a double standard known by all racists.

Having absolutely no oversight while hiring attracts very bad people. Henchmen to be precise. But this was the Trump plan, not a flaw. He wants modern day Storm Troopers.
Republicans use ‘bad faith’ arguments reflexively.
A👏m👏e👏n👏. 💯
Republicans know the military is a socialized program, but they get by because their base has no interest in reality.
Trump is normalizing abuse and fascism. Republican white nationalists love it.
Vote these assholes out of office.

Republicans want a double standard to keep their Republican criminals and traitors free from consequences. They are unable to compete using the same rules. They need corruption and cover-ups.

Baptist Hate-Preacher: Radical Muslims Get It Right When They Murder Gay People
And people wonder why I am anti-religion! If any organization called / worked for white men to be treated as the evangelicals / fundamentalists treat LGBTQ these Organizations would be shut down and the leaders jailed. Hugs
Baptist Hate-Preacher: Radical Muslims Get It Right When They Murder Gay People
Yesterday’s sermon was no exception. He even prefaced it by saying, “Maybe I’ll be taken down from YouTube for this, but I don’t really care.” (Which is always a promising start for a hate-preacher.) The first time he even mentions gay people, he refers to them as a “bunch of pedophiles, molesting children. They should be put to death — is what the Bible teaches.”
But what really caught my attention was his praise for Islamic Sharia Law for getting it right on the issue of homosexuality, where gay men have been thrown off rooftops by Islamic radicals. (“A broken clock is right twice a day,” says Robinson.)
… Yeah, when they’re talking about killing homos, and they throw homos off a building, listen, the Bible says “stoned”… but, you know, you can get creative on how you do the death penalty, I guess…
When the Bible says that, it says to hang them… but [critics are] like, “Oh, they’re for Sharia Law!” “Islam’s wicked!” No, that’s the Bible! And you better be careful on what you’re condemning when you’re against Islam. Now, I’m against Islam six ways to Sunday, okay? It’s a wicked religion and it was started by a pedophile. So yeah, I’m against Islam. It’s a wicked religion. But I’m not gonna be against Islam when they’re actually doing something the Bible teaches…
NC GOP Lt. Gov. Says “Diversity and Multiculturalism” Will Destroy the Country
NC GOP Lt. Gov. Says “Diversity and Multiculturalism” Will Destroy the Country
During a sermon over the weekend, North Carolina Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, a Republican, told a conservative Christian audience about the awfulness of… diversity.
But don’t worry. We’re a Christian nation, he argued, so we’ll overcome it.
“[N]o other nation, my friends, has ever survived the diversity and multiculturalism that America faces today, because of a lack of assimilation, because of this division, and because of this identity politics,” Forest claimed.
“But no other nation has ever been founded on the principles of Jesus Christ, that begin the redemption and reconciliation through the atoning blood of our savior,” he added.
It’s hardly the first time he’s made comments promoting white evangelical values or advocating for Christian Nationalism. In the past, he argued against bathroom bills by saying that letting trans people use the proper bathrooms would discriminate against cisgender people. Somehow. He also wrote a letter to the Architect of the Capitol to ask for a statue of Rev. Billy Graham in the building.
Forest plans to run for governor in 2020. These sorts of comments ought to be disturbing to everyone who may be on the fence about which party to support.

Fascist evangelical thugs win and the kids lose
Reddit Threat Shutters Drag Queen Story Hour Event
These fascist thugs were encouraging each other to watch the parking lots and film any car that a child got out of, then try to dox the entire family. They encouraged their members to then contact the people and to approach them at the library and at home to harass them about taking their child to be harmed by queers. One post even suggested calling protective services on any family to claim child abuse. They won, the program is shut down. Fuck! Hugs
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports:
A threat posted on social media led the Carnegie Library in Oakland and the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh to cancel “Drag Queen Story Hour” programs this week. The threat, posted recently on the social media site Reddit, didn’t specifically name the Pittsburgh events but was “alarming enough” to cause the cancellation, said library spokeswoman Suzanne Thinnes.

Christian Bigots Forced a Florida Library to Cancel Its Inclusive “Pride Prom”
Christian Bigots Forced a Florida Library to Cancel Its Inclusive “Pride Prom”
Egged on by bigots like “Activist Mommy” Elizabeth Johnston, who delight in watching LGBTQ people suffer, hundreds of Christians called the library to complain about the event. There were rumors of protests scheduled outside the building — and then “anti-protests” in response. A library staffer said that one event participant received a death threat.
Ultimately, faith-based bigots managed to stop a perfectly fine event for students who don’t always get the chance to be excited about a dance. Those Christians cruelly hurt LGBTQ people, all in the name of Jesus.
Johnston, whose heart grows three sizes every time a gay child cries, celebrated the decision with her fans by proclaiming “Innocent kids are being protected because of you.” She also spread a lie about how this event was all about promoting “perverted sodomy sex.”

Anti-LGBTQ Hate Group Leader Tony Perkins Now Leads U.S. Religious Freedom Group
Anti-LGBTQ Hate Group Leader Tony Perkins Now Leads U.S. Religious Freedom Group
Tony Perkins, the leader of the anti-LGBTQ hate group Family Research Council, is now the head of a legitimate government organization dedicated to religious freedom.
Perkins, who once said religious liberties don’t apply to Muslims, was appointed by GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell last year to serve as a member of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, which has done important work in the past. (For example, they periodically release a report on blasphemy laws around the world.)
It’s hard to imagine Perkins will suddenly put aside his Christian Nationalist desires and advocates for the rights of Muslims and atheists the same way he does conservative Christians. He doesn’t even do that in the U.S. Why would he suddenly be a global leader in the matter? For all its flaws, the Southern Poverty Law Centerhas a solid writeup of why Perkins is problematic with plenty of evidence to back up their “extremist” designation:
Perkins has a sordid political history, having once purchased Klansman David Duke’s mailing list for use in a Louisiana political campaign he was managing. In 2001, Perkins gave a speech to a Louisiana chapter of the Council of Conservative Citizens, a white supremacist group…Since joining the FRC, Perkins has taken the group in a harder anti-LGBT direction, using it to publish false propaganda about that community and contending that gay rights advocates intend to round up Christians in “boxcars.”
As the leader of a Christian supremacist group that weaponizes religion against the LGBTQ community and regularly attacks religious minorities as un-American, Tony Perkins is unqualified to serve as a commissioner or in any other capacity at the USCIRF, let alone to lead it.
Perkins has spent his career advocating a dangerous, distorted, and discriminatory vision of “religious liberty” that only protects orthodox Christians and leads an organization that supports abusing LGBTQ children with conversion therapy at home and enforcing the death penalty for LGBTQ people abroad.
Christian Hate-Preacher: Gay People Are Selfish Pedophiles Who Must Be Killed. Hate, Hate, Hate. That is Jesus message
Christian Hate-Preacher: Gay People Are Selfish Pedophiles Who Must Be Killed
In a sermon titled “Make The World Straight Again,” Major told the raucous crowd about how all homosexuals were inherently pedophiles and that’s why they deserved to be executed.
… Know why God gives the commandment for sodomites/homosexuals to be put to death out of love for you and I? Because they’re backbiters. Because they’re whisperers. Because they are unmerciful. Because they are implacable, the Bible says. Because they don’t care anything about anybody else.
All they care about is themselves, and fulfilling the flesh, and they will do whatever they want to, whatever they have to, to fulfill the lust of their flesh, and they don’t care if they destroy your life. They don’t care if they destroy the life of some child by molesting that child and being a pedophile. They don’t care if they destroy that person. And therefore, God says to put them to death out of love for the victim!
… The Bible says that these that would commit this kind of a sin, of sodomy, homosexuality, that they are worthy of death. And that’s not just Old Testament. That’s in the New Testament that we just read that there. And the Bible says that they are worthy of death.
Why are they worthy of death? Well, the Bible makes it plain in the Book of Leviticus, in Chapter number 20 and verse number 13, it says that those that would commit that sin, it says they should be put to death, and it says their blood shall be upon their own head.
Because the sodomites are filthy wicked people that would love nothing more than to destroy and wipe out every Christian on the face of this planet.
Later in the sermon, he blames gay people for having and spreading sexually transmitted diseases and makes this bizarre claim:
… Let’s say I had a disease that was highly contagious. Do you think I would be here with you this morning? No. You know what I would do if I had a disease that was highly contagious, because I love people? I would be quarantined in my room staying away from people, because I don’t want to give you that disease.
He has a very real disease that is poisoning minds. Far from locking himself in a room to protect everyone, he’s traveling abroad and spreading this faith-based mental virus that breeds hatred and bigotry in the name of his God. That is far more dangerous that a disease people could contract only through sexual intercourse.
If you thought the hate began and ended with that conference in Florida over the weekend, you are sadly mistaken.
I am sitting here in a dark room feeling very down. The spreading hate, authoritarianism, the taking away of rights, the Religious dominionist forcing their fundamental religious views in to secular laws, the making secular countries into theocracies all over the world. The fact the US is clearly trying to force another country to its knees mostly so we can take their resources and change their unacceptable religion to the correct Christian one. At least to me that seems to be the reasoning behind our constant attacks on Iran. I have five articles open on my computer where Christians demanding special privilege to demand my death by law enforcement and the government to deny my rights.
To me this is the same way Germany went and started world war two. They started with vilification of groups, making them outcasts. They made camps and areas where these groups had to go because they were outcasts. They separated families for any reason they wished. They denied government services and rights to segments of society. They Bellicosely demanded the right to other countries just because they thought they were owed it or because they wanted it. They used the same rhetoric to invade other countries that the US is using to attack Iran. We are creating another concentration camp for kids at the same place where Japanese Americans were detained illegally in world war two. The tRump administration has taken any programs away from the kids that would make detention bearable. They are making it so that the relatives of these kids can not come claim them safely. What will be this administrations solution? A wall won’t keep brown skin people out. What about the ones already legally here. Will citizenship depend on skin color? My heart is breaking this morning. I fell two nights ago so hard the impact broke the sink cabinet support board and shoved the cabinet beside it back six inches. I am bruised from my left hip to my ribs. My hip and back hurt worse than ever. My new crown still hurts when I eat and it took four months for the last one to stop hurting and they want to do another one in July. Be well my friends, I see nothing good today. Hugs
Another Christian politician putting his bible before laws to get rid of the “queers”.
AL GOP Official: “Freaking Queers Have Gotten Too Much Sympathy”
AL GOP Official: “Freaking Queers Have Gotten Too Much Sympathy”
Responding to a Facebook post about a Christian baker who wouldn’t make a gender transition cake for a customer, Mobile County Treasurer Phil Benson wrote in a now-deleted comment that he supported the baker because “Freaking queers have gotten too much sympathy. A real abomination.”
He also said the customer to “move to a place he is wanted.”
An interview with a local NBC affiliate involved him defending his bigotry and telling the reporter to read a Bible.
“Do you understand, though, how your words can be offensive to gay people or to anybody?” asked NBC 15’s Andrea Ramey.
“And gay people are offensive to me. Do you understand that?” replied Benson.
“All gay people, just because they’re gay, are offensive to you?” asked Ramey.
“They can be very offensive. All this beautiful rainbow stuff. When one of our presidents lit the White House with wonderful rainbow colors that offended me,” replied Benson.
Benson initially insisted before he would do an interview that Ramey sit down in his office and read chapter 19 in the book of Genesis in the Holy Bible, which is the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. That passage has been used as the biblical condemnation of homosexuality.
He’s pointing to a biblical clobber verse while having the audacity to whine about how gay people get too much sympathy. Maybe he would understand why that is if politicians spoke about Christians the way he speaks about gay people.
Because this is Alabama, his remarks received only a perfunctory rebuke from the state GOP.
Alabama Republican Chairman Terry Lathan said, “Mr. Benson’s comments represent his own personal opinion. I find them to be unnecessary, divisive and reflect solely on himself.”
Notice that Lathan doesn’t say Benson is wrong. The Alabama Republican Party agrees with everything he said; they just don’t want to say it in an official capacity. Their focus is on passing anti-LGBTQ laws.

Pastor Who Works for TN Police Dept. Says Gays Should Be Executed By Police
This is a fascist take over of government by religion. When they get done coming for the LGBTQ+ they will come for all the rest who do not worship the hateful vengeance smiting god they do. Ready for Christian Sharia laws? Hugs
Pastor Who Works for TN Police Dept. Says Gays Should Be Executed By Police
Last week, Pastor Greg Fritts did what so many of these nasty pastors (Nastors?) do and said the Bible calls for the execution of LGBTQ people at the hands of the government.
… The Bible says that they’re worthy of death. The Bible says that the government — somebody stands up, “Oh, I’m LGBTQ” — here’s how it should work: It shouldn’t work where we go out and we enforce the laws, because the Bible says the powers that be are ordained of God, and God has instilled the power of civil government to send the police in 2019 out to these LGBT freaks and arrest them and have a trial for them and if they are convicted than they are to be put to death.
Do you understand that? It is a capital crime that should be carried out by our government. Not Christians… unless you’re a policeman, you know what I mean? If you’re a policeman, then you know what? It should be your responsibility to carry these things out…
Oh, by the way, Fritts works for a police department.
No wonder he laughed as he talked about how the police should be executing gay people.
These pastors always say they’re speaking in hypotheticals — about what the Bible says we ought to do — and that they are not inciting their congregations to kill gay people. But considering the people who attend these churches have even less of a reason to hold back, it won’t be long before one of them takes matters into his own hands.
For a law enforcement official to brag about how law enforcement officials have a biblical right to murder gay people is truly frightening. No LGBTQ person should feel safe when this is the sort of person Knox County hires to protect them.
