    Didn't really see a place for this so I thought I would start a thread about all things LGBTQ since this is a pretty hot topic in our culture right now

    https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/17/sup...y-that-refuses-to-work-with-lgbt-couples.html

    • The Supreme Court on Thursday delivered a unanimous defeat to LGBT couples in a high-profile case over whether Philadelphia could refuse to contract with a Roman Catholic adoption agency that says its religious beliefs prevent it from working with same-sex foster parents.
    • Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in an opinion for a majority of the court that Philadelphia violated the First Amendment by refusing to contract with Catholic Social Services once it learned that the organization would not certify same-sex couples for adoption.

    I will admit, I was hopeful for this decision by the SCOTUS but I was surprised by the unanimous decision.

    While I don't think there is anything wrong, per se, with same sex couples adopting and raising children (I actually think it is a good thing as it not an abortion) but I also did not want to see the state force a religious institution to bend to a societal norm.

    Can you add "Anti-" before LGBTQ+ so that it can reflect your intent with this thread.

    Given your history, we can all assume that you won't be posting anything positive or affirming towards the LGBTQ+ community, so this thread is certainly not "All things". The title should reflect the true purpose of this thread.

    My understanding of this thread is that one can post whatever they like about LGBT - affirming or not - without having to wonder whether they're derailing it.

    Nice post and I agree for the most part.
    I would argue (and have argued here in the past) that this country is based on a fundamental Christian foundation.
    I would also argue that a religious based moral code is essential to a productive and safe society.
    I also don't believe that the far right uses religion more than the far left uses (their religion my any metrics) of race and gender theory. The growing pushback across the board, religious or non religious over the transing of kids, drag queens around kids as early and often as possible and sex education (not a school subject IMO).

    Give me some examples of what's in a "religious based moral code"?


    BTW: Roman law, The Laws of the Twelve Tables.

    The Laws of the Twelve Tables was the legislation that stood at the foundation of Roman law. Formally promulgated in 449 BC, the Tables consolidated earlier traditions into an enduring set of laws.[1][2]....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................According to Livy and Dionysius of Halicarnassus, the laws of the Twelve Tables have come about as a result of the long social struggle between patricians and plebeians, in modern scholarship known as the conflict of the orders.[12] After the expulsion of the last king of Rome, Tarquinius Superbus, in 509 BC, the Republic was governed by a hierarchy of magistrates. Initially, only patricians were eligible to become magistrates and this, among other plebeian complaints, was a source of discontent for plebeians. In the context of this unequal status, plebeians would take action to secure concessions for themselves using the threat of secession. They would threaten to leave the city with the consequence that it would grind to a halt, as the plebeians were Rome's labor force. Tradition held that one of the most important concessions won in this class struggle was the establishment of the Twelve Tables, establishing basic procedural rights for all Roman citizens in relation to each other.[13] The drafting of the Twelve Tables may have been fomented by a desire for self-regulation by the patricians, or for other reasons.[2]

    What about those that are championing child gender reassignment for money and provide the misguided with talking points and lies to defend the practice (them making money)? I consider those evil in concept and practice.
    Most Catholics/Christians I know don't cram anything down anyone throats. The vast majority you would even know they are. I think the lefts boogeyman of pillaging and rioting Christians are a myth. IMO.

    Nah, they're a lot of them in Congress.
     
    Several parents expressed their outrage at a school board meeting earlier this month over a student mural at a Michigan middle school that included colors representing the LGBTQ community and what they claimed were secret symbols of “witchcraft.”

    High school sophomore Evelyn Gonzales won a contest to “brighten up” the health center at Grant Middle School in the town of Grant by painting the mural on an interior wall. Gonzales said she was dumbfounded and hurt by the parents’ remarks.

    “I put my art up there to make people feel welcome,” Gonzales said in footage from the meeting that was shown on Grand Rapids news station WZZM-Channel 13 TV.

    As for Satanism or witchcraft, “that’s not what I’m a part of,” Gonzales said. “That’s not what I’m trying to put out there.”

    One critic called the brightly colored mural “hate material.”

    The mural, shown above, features a smiling, diverse group of kids as well as hearts, a rabbit and bear wearing first aid hats, a peace sign, hands, a rainbow decoration on one student’s overalls and a message that said: “Stay healthy.”

    Parents complained about the rainbow and blasted the colors of two students’ clothing which they claimed represented the transgender and bisexual Pride flags.............

    Transgender teenagers who begin gender-affirming treatments using puberty blockers are overwhelmingly unlikely to discontinue hormone replacement therapy moving forward, according to a new study published Thursday in The Lancet.

    The gender identity clinic of the Amsterdam UMC hospital center in the Netherlands conducted the study, recruiting 720 adolescent patients who had been diagnosed with gender dysphoria and prescribed puberty blockers. Of the cohort, 98 percent (704 patients) reported continued use of hormone replacement therapy in a follow-up after starting.

    “To our knowledge, this study is the first to assess continuation of gender-affirming hormones in a large group of transgender individuals who started medical treatment with puberty suppression in adolescence,” the study said.

    These results run contrary to one of the major political talking points against gender affirming care for transgender youth: that kids, when given time and space, largely move past gender dysphoria.

    This false narrative has been used to justify bans for gender affirming care, despite this study confirming past research about transgender youth who seek medical transitions for gender dysphoria...........

    Even if it's just 1/1,000,000 that discontinue use, every single one of them will be interviewed on FoxNews in prime time.

    I hope so, because no one knew this was going on until a few started covering it and going 'undercover' to find out the truth. Turns out it is happening. Remember, you all assumed it was not happening at all because it was too extreme. Now the left is all for it and defending it. Is that goal post moving?
    You support hormone replacement therapy in minor for the treatment of gender dysphoria?

    You think drag shows are evil? Lol.

    They may not be evil, but you have to admit, $20,000 dlls to stage drag queen shows in Ecuador, that's a bit much.

    It used to be that drag queens basically were clowns, men dressed in overly exaggerated women's clothing and make up lip sync'ing to Cher and Dolly Parton songs in night clubs. And they are still men dressed in overly exaggerated women's clothing and make up, but now drag queen is a "gender".

    And if anyone gets upset with the clown comparison, you have issues.
     
    Moms for Liberty are evil. You should research a group before you give them blanket approval. I don’t believe anything they say - they are a group that is being paid by some anonymous donor to take over school boards. They are not acting in the interest of American public education.
