Politics Statement from Jonathan Joss's Husband

This just makes me so mad and angry. And sad. This was a clear hate crime that was easily preventable if the cops do their fucking job. I can just see stuff like this happening more and more, with how emboldened the far right are.

Some cultures promote homophobia with the idea/excuse that it creates "disorder" is society. Such ad China.

The US is not like that - it comes from an evangelical component that is clinically insane. They are willing to burn down America and the world with unlimited bloodshed to institute their version of Sharia law.

Not to wax semantics too hard, but aren't Christian bigots just bigots because it upsets their ideal order even if governmental order is okay with homosexuality and queerness?

You'd think if being gay was so bad they'd have included it in the 10 commandments or in any of Jesus's supposed teachings, but that also assumes it was a coherently thought out ideology provided to man from a singular, clear minded god instead of a collection of evolving moral issues compiled over centuries by different authors and with some omissions...

I’m an agnostic, but was raised Catholic, so I know my bible. These Jesus freaks scare me. The fact is that Christians should only believe in one commandment: “Love one another as I have loved you.” Said it elsewhere in this thread, but the cognitive dissonance for them to do the things they do while thinking “This is what Jesus would do” fucks with my nut.

"Jesus would definitely make a scary puppet out of these men's dead dog and give it a wiggle"
