    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.

    That still sounds a lot like the great replacement theory. What about the CCP propaganda? Do you think your party is the most willing consumer of that?

    What CCP propaganda are you referring to? Universal health care?
     
    Both sides! Again!

    when the “Both Sides” comes out this much, it seems to me that there isn’t much of a real argument. IMHO.

    I think this is pretty good evidence that you don't have a real argument here....
     
    Good article
    ===========
    From bathroom bills to sports bills to “religious refusal” bills to health-care bills, transgender children have been under attack in our country for as long as my son has been transgender. Which is to say, his entire life.


    After years of hearing my child tell me he was a boy, I finally understood what he was telling me, kept loving him unconditionally and gave him the space to live his truth out loud. His name and pronouns changed, but other than getting a huge boost in self-esteem and confidence, he remained largely the same child.

    We told the people who needed to know and kept living our lives. We didn’t make a big deal of it, because who he is remained just as miraculous and predictable as the sun rising every morning.


    In 2016, I was invited to speak at a news conference to share my story as a loving mother of a transgender child. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) was about to file suit against the Obama administration over a “Dear Colleague” letter that clarified existing federal law regarding trans students in public schools — saying they should be allowed to use their chosen name and pronouns, and to access sex-segregated facilities such as bathrooms consistent with their gender identity. Paxton disagreed.


    The presser was meant to show that trans kids are not a threat to anyone. It was the first time I’d ever taken to a microphone to advocate for my child in that way, and I was terrified of what would come next. But I had to stand and fight.

    The day the suit was filed in federal court in nearby Fort Worth, my family took the day off to sit silently in the courtroom, serving as a visible reminder that trans-inclusive families exist, trans kids are adorable and children such as my son deserve equal rights. The injunction was granted anyway, and anti-transgender legislation began to distract and infest our state Capitol…….

    So you don't think the Democratic party falls for Chinese disinformation?
    Remind me what party is banging Chinese spies and have Chinese spies as their driver?
     
    Much like the dossier was a strawman or no?

    Nope. It wasn't. Were parts inaccurate? Probably. Beyond that? No. Trump was/is/will be a Russian asset either willingly or as a useful dupe.

    Even when it was proved he is not a 'Russian asset'?
