if we have a right to discriminate against queer people surely i have the right to discriminate against government/state institutions right?
Surely now i can no longer follow the law and as long as i say "nuh uh" to them, i should be left alone, right?
Just last week, Abbott ranted about a male teacher who wore a dress to some school events in the state who was driven to quit his job by online trolls. Abbott said that the teacher was “trying to normalize the concept that this type of behavior is OK” and said, “This is the type of behavior that we want to make sure we end in the state of Texas.”
I seriously want to ask conservatives in Texas why they are comfortable letting their government dictate what clothes they are allowed to wear?
Idk the story but assuming it was actually a guy crossdressing and not Abbott misgendering a trans woman, then these same people will laugh at drag and tell you how Some Like it Hot is one of the greatest comedies of all time.
I mean I'm fully aware of the hypocrisy of republicans saying they are the party of "freedom" only when freedom aligns with their ideology. It's just fun to watch them try to backpedal and implode when you ask if they would be comfortable with a democrat making similar rules.
Don't these priests wear dresses themselves?
