“1 in 4 high school students identifies as something other than straight- what are they being taught in school?
Maybe that they don't need to hide who they really are now?
Why do so many of these people think people can be convinced to be gay?
Because they spend their entire lives convincing themselves they aren't gay
Most homophobia comes from straight people. Closeted self hating gay people are not a voting bloc. If every LGBT person in the country was closeted and self hating they still wouldn't be a large voting bloc.
Don't blame homophobia on queer people.
I don't believe in God, but man, Republicans do a bang up job of making them look like a raging asshole unworthy of anyone's worship.
If this is what the Christian God is actually like, Lucifer had the right idea.
When you read about Lucifer you quickly realize he wasn't evil, he was more of a freedom fighter. The Christian God acts like a dictator. God tells everyone that God is good. Everyone has to do what God says otherwise you get God’s wrath and punishment. Everyone who stands up against God is evil and punished. God tell people to do terrible things to show their devotion. There is no democracy in God’s kingdom.
These are all attributes of dictators. If people don’t do what they say then they are killed, hurt and their families as well. They make people kill other people and do other terrible things to prove their devotion. They spread propaganda against the people standing up against their regime. They make themselves out as the good guys.
Lucifer stood up against God’s tyranny and was made out to be the bad guy. That is my point of view.
These are all attributes of dictators. If people don’t do what they say then they are killed, hurt and their families as well.
Or in this case, tortured for literally eternity with the most horrifying pain imaginable, with no chance of escape or respite, in an unimaginable forever of suffering.
Because he loves you.
Because he loves you.
...and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow, (snaps fingers), just can't handle money!
Just admit you’re queer already, Mike Johnson. It’s ok.
Why does he hate America so much he’s calling for divine retribution? Thats something Osama bin Laden would have said.
Christian Nationalists are quite similar to Islamic Terrorists in their beliefs. Other than a few minor customs and the language, it's the same. Islam is a branch of Christianity after all.
Religious extremists are surprisingly similar regardless of the religion.
Conservatives are such creepy weirdos when it comes down to it. The cons in America have a lot in common with the likes of OBL when it gets down to it. Both are part of an Abrahamic cult and worship the same god, even if one group tends to call that god Allah. Of course they differ on a few things like rituals and the story arc of the character of Jesus in the Abrahamic Cinematic Universe. But on many of their so-called "morals", they tend to agree.
Johnson is also proclaiming he is Moses.
When do we send him into the desert for 40 years?
I second this motion.
Sorry in advace, West Texas.
I used to think Kevin McCarthy was the dumbest Speaker of the House in US history.
There is always a bigger fish
✅ Fuck a child
⛔️ Be lgbt and don’t fuck a child
Jeez. It would be a real shame if God punished us by depriving us of Mike Johnson.
I was promised that the COVID vaccine would make all my blood congeal. I've thus far have made it to promises of "God will punish us" without one hint of life threatening coagulation.
I've already survived a few "raptures" in the past decade. Bring it on, God!
Ok, so leave it up to God then. If he's such a tough guy, then the US government doesn't need to make policy to protect these LGBTQ+ heathens, the big man will take care of it.
Stunning - they found an even more extreme whack job than Jordan.
Preaching in his position should be an immediate expulsion.
He's a moron of the delusional flavor.
How is this f*cktard speaking on behalf of anyone…?
Be great if someone could hack into his CovenantKeeper or whatever the weird-ass porn tracker him and his son bond over, incest-style
When Mike Johnson goes to heaven and bangs on the pearly gates demanding to be let inside, Jesus will ask, "I'm sorry, do I know you? Because you sure didn't know me."
Bring it. By the way, what was this POS doing working on the Sabbath? Straight to hell with this heathen.
This guy needs to be out of power. Maybe more Congress people will leave and the Republicans will loose the majority. Otherwise we'll have to vote out the Republicans in the presidential election.
Jesus is his imaginary friend who tells him right and wrong. Crazy.
Sounds like he's starting to get impatient waiting for his god.
I've got a few suggestions on how he can speed things along.
Colt .45 and two zig zags?
If your fake "God" had any real power, those teens wouldn't have been born LGBTQ, now would they?
This guy is a repressed homosexual. Bet.
Those teens are your political death Mike. They will never be Christian conservatives.
In the bible god punished the atheists cooperating together to build monuments to themselves with... misunderstanding.
Before that, he punished the humans who hurt other humans with diluvial genocide.
In their own lore it shows that it's better to be an atheist who loves their fellow man, than to be a god-fearing human paraquat.
OH NO WE WENT FROM .1% TO 1% OF TEENS BEING GAY! WHAT A HUGE LEAP OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOo
Can people stop voting in these retards please
Smite me harder daddy
Hopefully God starts with Mikey. Assuming the super space wizard supreme actually exists and cares at all about anything.
He better hope to god there is no god, because any true god would only punish fear-mongering idiots like Mike Johnson and anyone else idiotic and stupid enough to spread such nonsense. What we need are billions more LGBTQ folk, and far fewer pieces of walking excrement like Mike Johnson.
I don’t think we need billions more, just for the billions we have to feel safe expressing it.
If god was a good, loving god, they would punish Mike Johnson because he is abusing their faith to attack others.
If god was a hateful, fire and brimstone god, they would punish Mike Johnson because why not?
Isn't having to see this man every day in the press punishment enough?
What should we do, Mike? Throw them off tall buildings or something?
This SOB probably thinks being bi means having sex with 2 people at once
