I wasn't aware of any anti LGBT parades. Do tell me about them.

It's also against the law to attack LGBT people in many countries- how much more do they want?

He didn't mention parades. He's referring to politicians and religious nut jobs using LBGTQ as a whipping post to gin up the bigoted base.

There isn’t a ‘Gay Parade’ in this news.

 

It’s the rightwing legislating the medical options available to minors experiencing gender dysmorphia.

 

Taking time out to target legislation against a very small proportion of their population.

 

Hate mongering in action.

Just to be clear, you think minors should (for example) be able to have their penis removed prior to being 18 and you think it's far right hatred that is the reason that kids cannot get their body parts sliced off?   I presume that being on the side of allowing minors to have such drastic, irreversible, life changing surgery you believe you are one of the good guys?!

and what is wrong with "Judeo- Christian values? Don't murder people, forgiveness, treat others as you wish to be treated etc seem worthy to me.

The VALUES are perfect. It's the a--holes who profess to be Christians who don't practice what they preach.  You know, Ted Cruise and the like?

With assent by doctors and a senior psychologist with an appropriate cooling off period, yes, absolutely. Failure to conduct gender reassignment surgery when appropriate can cause depression, anxiety and mental illness. This is decidedly not an issue for politicians.

You’ll have to link a post in which I have said such a thing or accept you are assigning to me arguments I have never myself presented.

Don't hold your breath waiting for links to evidence.

It seems you do need educating about the subject as you don't seem to have a critical understanding of what religious beliefs are and the harm that they have done to many people in history, and would continue to inflict harm of allowed to be in charge of government at national or local levels.

Just wait to see what bigotry this "local" government will try to put forward - as has been seen in the past with many similar instances

Sorry, I just can't take your post seriously. The inquisition ended centuries ago. How does believing in forgiveness and treating others as you want to be treated harm anyone?

BELIEVING in something and BEHAVING according to the golden rule are quite distant from each other with so many supposed "Christians."

Yes, good reference!  Keep an eye out for Mike Flynn, he's been stumping with this stuff since last summer, I think he's connected to Dec 2020 WH crowd, like pillowguy, overstockguy, etc.  I'm anticipating his effect on the GOP primaries, he'll make himself known soon enough.  I don't know if he intends to run himself.
