I remember Manny Pacquiao saying homosexuals are worst than animals because homosexuality does not exist in the animal kingdom. He was promptly educated.
"I'm sorry for hurting people by comparing homosexuals to animals. Please forgive me for those I've hurt. I still stand on my belief that I'm against same sex marriage because of what the Bible says, but I'm not condemning LGBT. I love you all with the love of the Lord. God Bless you all and I'm praying for you."
Clearly not well enough. This is the old liberal-adjacent "Hate the sin, love the sinner" canard that moderate fundamentalists trot out, in order to exist in that gray "agree to disagree" space liberals love. Give it too much room to breath, and you're going to be escorted to the Gay Conversion Therapy Camps with big rainbow colored "ordnen macht frei" signs over the entrance gate.
This is such an absurd "article". Picking out a couple of comments from the internet to literally brew conflict for clicks is not sound journalism.
You guys seem to love living in an echochamber. Lemmy really has become very unwelcoming to anyone centrally aligned or learning about the world.
I don't get what's centrist about LGBTQ+ rights.
Anything restricting equal rights for all based on sexuality, gender and orientation, color or creed is surely a far right, extremist position?
Whats centrist about "gay people exist?"
Yea it kinda sucks. You and I can be central together. Right here.
"stuck in the middle with you"
Lol just now?
George Clooney voiced a gay dog on South Park in '97.
Something happening in fiction is not proof it happens in real life.
You love to see it
Conservatives are freaking out about I don’t care, they’ve proven they are idiots and will believe anything
Oh, this sh*tfest is hilarious.
We’ve known about gay penguins since 1912, and regressives are just now cottoning on?
The conservative education system makes a special effort to misinform/occlude information about certain natural facts of life for generations of people. So every graduation cycle or two, you've got a fresh faced cohort of brainwashed kids who have to find out about the gay penguins from 1912 for the first time, ten years after they've cemented their bias against homosexuality on "rationalist" grounds.
We've been playing similar games with evolution since the fucking Stokes Monkey Trial. Identical debunked arguments showed up in The Panda's Thumb over a century after they were ostensibly put to bed.
You'll periodically see this show up in regards to phrenology and eugenics, as well. All sorts of inane long-dismissed claims about how physiognomy clues amateur race-sleuths in to someone's criminal intent or intellectual fitness or breeding capacity.
Recycling pseudoscience and vaguely sourced gossip is also very popular in anti-abortion circles, giving us all sorts of zombie lies about pagan blood sacrifice of fetuses and elaborate plots to cull the white race.
The dogmatism of western bigotry is baked into conservative ideology. You can find people dredging up the same old tired lies from the 19th century in arguments made before the US Congress and the Supreme Court to this very day.
"If animals can be gay, I could be gay, but I am not gay! 😱" - Republican caught sucking dick in an alley
"I'm not gay for sucking dick; this dick is gay for getting sucked."
This is logic.
Meh, I deleted this, it was just going to get misinterpreted by literalists.
Republican caught sucking dick in an alley
That made me snort :D
Ironically, you can enjoy sucking dick without being gay. Because sexuality is a spectrum.
If the Republicans would stop being so defensive, they might find a lot to like about the sexuality spectrum.
Pretty much. The intersection of gender and sexuality spectrum means romantic attraction, sexual attraction, and sexual interests can mix and match in a lot of ways.
Uuuuuhhhhhhh none of those words sounds like "male and female he created them" buddy, straight to Hell with ye
yes but that doesn't help reinforce right-wingers' feelings of superiority
That's not snot!!!!
How dare the animals engage in such unnatural behavior!!! /s
Easy. They need Jesus.
Holy shit... Conversion Therapy for pets.
Did we just stumble on a billion dollar grift that will only harm particularly awful people?
I have no doubt that some crazed conservative is out there shock-collaring their dogs or worse for "homosexual behaviour." They're absolutely deranged.
yeah it'd also harm the pets, you fool. Set that idea in the dustbin, where it belongs.
Well, we're not actually going to do anything besides hang out with other people's pets then tell the owners they are "cured."
The really awesome pets are "more difficult to cure" so we are going to need them to stay longer.
^ this person gets it
aah, clever.
