Trump DOJ says LGBTQ+ legal protections are "anti-Christian," pledges to erode them further - LGBTQ Nation
4d 3h ago by lemmy.world/u/Sunflier in politics from www.lgbtqnation.com
KILL THE TRANNIES AND THE GAYS!!!! It says to do so in Leviticus.
-Republicans, soon probably.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"
It's right there in the first line of the Bill of Rights.
Right, so they'll just do it without Congress.
Have they even done anything in Congress? Seems like all of their policies have been dictated by the orange absolute monarch.
Voted stuff down is about it
what? you want these people to read now?
if they didnt read the whole bible they sure arent gonna read the whole constitution.
The jokes on everyone who still acts as though they're dealing with rational people in good faith, instead of mentally ill religious extremists, sociopaths, psychopaths, and pedophiles.
Whether they were inherently susceptible, or indoctrinated through psychological warfare, is largely irrelevant. You can't deprogram tens of millions of people, especially while the propaganda apparatus remains.
Funny that you expect these assholes to read.
Oh good, they were looking for that quote. Ran out of toilet paper again.
You think they’d notice it eventually. It comes around on the roll at least once a week.
In case you haven't noticed already, the American government is run by a bunch of fascist that don't care about the rules (they only pretend to when it's convenient).
But don’t you understand that gay people merely existing prevents these people from pursuing their own religion, which includes the serene knowledge that the entire world is like them?? /s
Right, DOJ isn't Congress tho
DOJ didn't exist when the Constitution was written. Courts have long determined that this applies to any state or federal institution.
That was those courts, we've got these courts.
Ugh, I hate how right you are.
the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion - John Adams
We'll see about that
-Conservatives, historically and today
Tell that to Homelander
they claim to be but dont ACTUALLY follow the church nor the Bible
Does anyone remember the New Testament verse where Jesus tells the gay people to all fuck off and that his followers should persecute them? All I remember is him clearly saying to 'love thy neighbors' a lot - pretty gay tbh.
I did read the bible many decades ago, can't remember any such verses - will admit it was a total snooze fest though, so I might've missed it or forgotten.
Wasn't there also that bit about "the Disciple that Jesus loved"?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Their interpretation of the Bible is just as valid as anybody else’s.
Edit: Oof, I must have upset the hardcore Christians. Why else would you downvote this comment?
Correct. And that validity is “zero” or “none.”
It’s a book of fables that enables evil people to do evil. No need to comment back, you can’t change my mind on this.
In all seriousness, what did you actually think I meant by my comment? We are basically saying the same thing. But somehow you act like you’re disagreeing with my comment.
Not sure why you think I would try to change your mind.
I didn't downvote you, but no.. Not really. And people are probably downvoting you just because you're wrong.
Like if someone said their interpretation of the bible is 'that we should all trebuchet kittens at the sun during eclipses' they would be treated as idiots - because that claim has no backing.
Its a book full of fables, correspondence, parables, and accounts of history. It's not written to be highly interpretive - it's written to be proscriptive. That some people twist its wording for their own political or ideological interpretations is something that should always be called out - if they're claiming to be followers of Jesus and their core religious text contradicts them - that's ridiculous, and it's pathetic that a lot of people go along with it unchallenged.
P.s. not Christian BTW.
I think you and I are in agreement about the end result. Fact is, people can and do validate their shitty beliefs using the Bible all the time. Just because your opinion is that they are wrong doesn’t change reality.
When your foundation is built on fairy tales, anything goes.
You think it won't be women next? Then nonwhites? Then non-christians? Then the Final Solution?
We've seen this movie before.
You think it won’t be women next? Then nonwhites? Then non-christians? Then the Final Solution?
Last hired, first fired
then the catholics
... they use a similar logic. First we accept this lifestyle? Then we require it? Before you know it, we will depopulate ourselves into an extinction.
Here's what the article says:
Among its findings, the report targets a 2024 rule which required foster care providers who wanted to receive designated placement status for caring for LGBTQ+ children to receive training on the needs of LGBTQ+ youth, help queer kids access to age-appropriate healthcare resources, and “commit to establishing an environment that supports the child’s LGBTQI+ status or identity.
As impactful and significant as these programs seem, revoking them doesn't sound like a Holocaust in the making. Are gay children so different from straight children that their care requires a training program?
Such a long winded way to say "I'm an idiot" lol
It just seems like the policies being revoked are more virtue signaling than anything else. Both parties are virtue signalling. It's meaningless rhetoric; nothing was achieved.
You know what would be awesome for the gay community? Free healthcare, legal pot, a well-funded Social Security system. They benefit from the same things that benefit everyone else.
Debts higher than the GDP, better worry about how many genders there are. Conservative be dumb as rocks
They don't care about the debt. Unless Democrats are in power. Then they pretend it matters.
As long as someone else is footing the bill they don't care. Until it personally affects them.
Christians are assholes and morons
All religions are backwards and brain rot.
The "best" religious people are those that follow as little of the made up bullshit as possible.
Oh I agree. I just particularly dislike Christians.
Any religious fundamentals is basically a lunatic to me. Islamic Isis or the Christian Trump death cult, they are going to be the end of civilization if we don't stand up to them
Why?//cause America has fucking crazy ones.
then you dislike american christians end of story
Its a long story lol
th DOJ is not the catholic church
Anti-Christian is a good thing ... better yet, anti-religion.
If trump is the messiah, I want to hear from the other bloke.
I dunno. Buddhism seems to be doing well. The Dali Lama doesn't seem to advocate for this.
anti american protestants?
its not the job of the government to obey Christian values. its the job of the government to protect its people, and if those people are gay, the government is OBLIGATED to make their life better like any other citizen.
In a class-based system like capitalism, the state (cops, courts, military, ICE, etc.) exists to maintain the rule of one class over another, in this case the capitalist class. American neo-liberalism has served the capitalists’ interests well for the last few decades, but it is no longer. They need to tighten their grip because they are losing ground economically (to China, specifically).
This is when you see every effort to divide (weaken) and repress the working masses. Minoritized people and leftists are the first to be repressed - they are easy targets because the capitalists and the media outlets spend billions propagandizing the working masses to turn against these groups. This is when you see right wing reaction - as we are seeing now, not just in the US, but in many of the capitalist countries that are allies with US imperialism. This is a cycle that keeps repeating in every capitalist crisis.
It is in the interests of the whole working class - internationally - to recognize this tactic used to divide the working masses (which will lead to even lower quality of life for all) and to instead stand up against this repression and to defend people on the receiving end of US Imperialist aggression, whether this be workers, minorities, and/or countries (Iran, Cuba, etc.).
Meanwhile, the sheep and the goats part just gets ignored
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
I'm sure they'll do some backflips to say "the brothers only mean people I like", but then there's the "who is my neighbor?" part.
29 But wanting to vindicate himself, he said to Yeshua, “Then who is my neighbor?”
30 Yeshua replied, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. He was attacked by robbers, who stripped him and beat him. Then they left, abandoning him as half dead. 31 And by chance, a kohen was going down that road; but when he saw the man, he passed by on the opposite side. 32 Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the opposite side. 33 But a Samaritan who was traveling came upon him; and when he noticed the man, he felt compassion. 34 He went up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil and wine. Then setting him on his own animal, he brought him to a lodge for travelers and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[b] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him. And whatever else you spend, upon my return I will repay you myself.’ 36 Which of these three seems to you a neighbor to the one attacked by robbers?”
37 And he said, “The one who showed mercy to him.”
Then Yeshua said to him, “Go, and you do the same.”
But they're not sincere, so the text doesn't matter.
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
-Leviticus 20:13
^ The only part of the bible they care about.
That one is really about having sex with kids. The wording was supposed to be "boys" not "men". It is saying to be a pedophile.
As if putting the victims to death is any better
GOP: Not like that!
Romans also talks about homosexuality and why it is a sin
but we shouldnt KILL homosexual people like WHAT
They're foaming at the mouth with their hate, and they drool over the possibility of killing the gays. They want this back:
I hope they turn to Christ.
See, that's the thing. They think they are on Christ's side (or he's on their side). The Bible is the absolute word of God, so they think there's a divine mandate to kill the gays and, if the trinity thing means Jesus = God, the divine mandate from Christ is to kill the gays.
Also gay sex is icky to them, so there's an extra bit to justify killing the gays.
Honestly, I'm surprised that we haven't seen a Spanish-Inquisition on this yet, but I'm sure Republicans are working up to it.
I'm a Christian, and I hate this movement so much. I want to hate the people, trust me, but Jesus said to love, so I must. Seriously though, separation of church and state, now please.
Part of loving someone is holding them accountable for their own actions and behavior. Growth is not possible without accountability
Amen to that. I do my best to have meaningful conversations where I can.
You should check out John Fugelsang, he just released a book “The Separation of Church and Hate” and he has a podcast. He is a comedian, and his father was a Franciscan friar and his mother was a Carmelite nun so he’s got a really interesting background.
He also has a bunch of resources (including materials for churches) on how to reclaim actual bible based Christianity with compassion instead of whatever we have now.
Sweet! Thanks for the recommendation, it's in my quick notes that I sort through on Sundays.
He looks and sounds like Banana Ballistics' brother yo
I want to hate the people, trust me, but Jesus said to love, so I must.
Imagine being this cucked by something with zero evidence of existing
That's kinda the whole point of faith. If there was evidence, faith wouldn't be nearly as powerful.
powerful
Lol is that what they told you? Ok bud.
imagine seeing love and going "PORNOGRAPHIC PHRASE" you are just as brainrotted as the skibidi toilet kids
there is a bunch of evidence but you dont like it
Yeah, I didn't mean it sexually but OK
If you've got evidence of a Christian god, then you should submit that shit to the Nobel committee and claim your prize.
the shroud of turin?
Lol are you serious?
indeed
Yet again, the side that screams FREEDOM only wants to take everyone else's away.
For them it’s “freedom to,” not “freedom from.” As in, free to exploit, free to abuse, free to dominate instead of freedom from exploiters, freedom from abusers, or freedom from domination.
For FREEDOM!(tm) they sure want to know what you've got and doing in your pants.
Especially childrens pants
Me to every self-identified LGBTQ+ person shitting on Biden/Harris in 2024:
Me now:
If they had just gone after the non-MAGA Republicans harder!
It's okay, they know now to prioritize that in 2028.
You mean the same Kamala that said "Follow the law" when asked if she'd protect trans healthcare?
And the law to follow said that it was up to doctors to decide whether a treatment was necessary enough to be covered government insurance. Now Trump is rewriting the law to make it illegal for doctors to give gender affirming treatment at all, let alone for it to be covered by health insurance.
There were already several states outlawing trans healthcare which Kamala had no plans to challenge and force them to give healthcare.
The Biden administration already forced them through HHS. https://www.newsfromthestates.com/article/florida-sues-biden-administration-new-regulations-protecting-gender-affirming-care
Are you arguing that the current situation is better somehow?
Those goalposts are on rails my man, you're better off tagging them and moving on.
context is for suckers
Yeah, sucks that the dnc decided the genocide of the Palestinian population, frac mining and also cracking down on immigration and funding ICE was more important than massive LGBT rights overhaul and universal healthcare overhaul. Damn lgbt leftists having morals !!!! Maybe in 2026 Gavin Newsom or Kamala Harris could capitulate MORE to the right, the same people they (rightfully) call fascists! Where can we bring Liz Cheney this time? Bring Bush Jr too!!!
Explain to me why I should vote for politicians sending billions to Israel, a genocidal country, when our country and our sovereign rights are literally eroding at home. I’ll wait. I vote for democrats every chance I get. Midterms and all.
Tell me, when I see the governor of my state running for VP (A man who’s campaign I supported btw) and he says on TV that he’ll “preemptively strike Iran” and his running mate, the current vice president of the country, saying we need to have the “strongest military force in the world” I’m supposed to support that? While democrats fund a genocide? Forget being worse in Gaza than Biden, Biden and his admin still destroyed the city and laughed about it to voters. They killed tens of thousands.
You really think young voters see that, see them touting around fucking DICK CHENEYS DAUGHTER, the Cheney family being one of the most evil families in my lifetime (look up the Wikipedia page for Halliburton Oil Company to get a start).
Seriously I have no interest in the “lesser evils” because everyone is lesser evil than Trump. That’s the most obvious to everyone but fascists. You can’t convince me that Imperial exploitation and genocide and war is ok if it’s not Trump in office doing it. Insult me all you want, doesn’t change reality.
I am a queer person and I know lots of queer people too and I will block you if you try to say anything gross about Palestine and LGBT rights. I’ve had enough of that and I don’t engage with it anymore
All I hear is you justifying why trump needed to win so that you could follow your morals.
Typical, that is very obviously not what I want. I want people to have free health care, free education and more. Show me where Trump wants that.
Show me how standing your ground prevented him from being elected.
What do you mean standing my ground? The state I live in is one of the only places where voting for democrats locally is actually worth it! How is it my fault as a single voter?! I already voted for them!!
In your state you have that power. At the federal level you have to do the least harm.
How is it my fault if I already voted for them though? It’s also the Democratic Party who’s responsible for, oh you know, the ENTIRE party? I’m literally only one vote. If it were my responsibility the republicans wouldn’t have won my city. Do you even understand what you’re talking about here?
That is legitimately the message they take when they lose elections. Clearly, America is a conservative country.
Yes both parties are shit, but they used to be a regular bucket of shit and a large bucket of shit so you could vote for a third party to avoid the shit knowing at worst you'd only get a large bucket of shit.
Now our options are a large bucket of shit and a mountain of shit, and you should vote to avoid the mountain of shit not to avoid all shit because even a large bucket of shit is more palatable than a mountain.
My point is that voting is the very very beginning of your political responsibility as a leftist. There is a lot more to do. And no I don’t mean financially support, I mean organization and community outreach. This should really be seen as something you do first and regardless of who is president. Donate money to your local food shelf if you can, & I mean every month.
Also don’t take what I say too seriously I’m just one guy, I just get annoyed when people bring up establishment democrats and act like if they were president all this would be better. My only gripe is with that rhetoric. You should be doing way more than voting. Like, yesterday.
There's no hate as intense as christian love.
the DOJ doesnt represent the Catholic Church
So the pedophiles running America that are using Catholics as a cover are not associated with the Catholic Church which has a multi-century history of priests, bishops, and popes sticking their dicks into children... hmm... I don't quite believe you.
if someone uses me as a human shield, I do not become their ally
I just find the Catholic Church's whole "We don't support pedophiles" thing funny is a black humor kind of way... considering how often Catholics Priests have to be reminded to pull their dicks out of children. I remember reading the real history of Catholic leadership over the centuries (not the shit they teach in America schools)... it's horrifying and gross how many of the Catholic Church's leaders over the centuries have been pedophiles. And just read the news whenever another pedophile gets caught... it falls into the following categories with religious figures being the number one (and Catholics being a majority in that number one spot - with Protestants and Methodists being tied for second place, and Muslims and Hindus coming in 3rd and fourth): Law enforcement, politicians, corporations, teachers, doctors, men (in general), family members, and religious figures.
links articles proof
I'll list a few. I'm not your personal assistant. use your brain and your favorite search site... and stop listening to the brain rot claiming that all LBGTQ+ people are pedophiles (Ive only seen 3 articles about lgbtq+ pedophiles and those are major exceptions).
every study group focuses on a different thing and their data is skewed by their focus... but it does have a pattern. and yes I forgot about Buddhists and their large pedophile population.

I linked the fun articles. and you missed the Pope saying that 1 in 50 Catholic Priests is a pedophile. there are roughly 400k priests recognized by the church. that's 8k priests raping children. and root here who blocked me cause he can't handle the fact that his priest is very likely to be a pedophile... ignores the fucking sources which have even more fun stats. but then again... he's got his head buried in the sand so deeply that if I didn't know any better... I would suspect that he's one of the 8000 pedophile priests.

In one study, 93 percent of convicted sex offenders described themselves as “religious.” Perhaps surprisingly, many sexual predators consider churches as “safe havens,” Vieth said, with trusting, forgiving adults and easy access to children.
"Described themselves as religious" ≠ Ordained Catholic Priests
- Of the 1050 victims in our sample, 404 had been in Roman Catholic, 130 in Protestant, and 516 in non-religious institutions. The overall mean age at the time of reporting was 52.2 years. Males (59.8%) outnumbered females
Protestants and Non Religious people are the majority in this study and Significantly more victims from Protestant institutions reported having current psychosocial problems.

Hate v. Hate classic America
Got five letters for tyrants. I'm sure all my queer homies who I absolutely have NOT been watching do insane firearm drills for the past 10 years will take that laying down!
The cool part of not having respect for the law is you get to just like, not apply it to yourself!
Entirely unrelated, did you know you can make an AK, semi reliably, automatic with a wire coat hanger? Crazy shit man.
It's pretty clear trump is working for something bigger and the goal is just to wear America down to near collapse so something else can be built in the rubble.
It's also clear most Americans have had way too much privilege in their lives to even live like real humans or care. God bless consumerism, escapism, and denial.
It feels like a nation that pimps its people then offers them drugs to escape until they get pimped again.
That may be the most apt analogy ever.
I mean it's literally what they do, it's not by accident. Mainstream and street follow the same "dream."
I never thought I'd get like ...spiritual or religious, but I've been and it really seems like western cultures live for a "false god". Even the religious institutions.
Something is very wrong. And even the idea of rapture in a weird way sounds like it's possible. Not like people evaporating to be saved, but like all these people disconnected from honest universal reality that live for their nations, false spirituality, and greed/materialism, are going to fall in warlike times. While for the people that stay in tune with reality and the universe it's just another day and they don't fear the reaper so to speak.
It really seems like the conspiracies are truth laced with lies that evil hides behind. Going all the way back to biblical times and Christianity hiding the gnostic gospels in order make religion a tool for power and order.... Taking honest reality from "gods" hands and putting it in the hands of corruption. They separated us from our honest souls. We aren't who the universe meant for us to be. We have infinite imagination but are marketed simple lifestyles that lead to their gains of power. To the point it's like we are farmed with a false sense of freewill to keep us striving in a loop. Not really much different than free range cattle.
As a former born and raised Southern Baptist, it angers and saddens me knowing that - despite the trouble and injustice they may inflict - they are shackled with lies.
First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
I’m a communist and I’m damn well speaking out. Y’all gonna let me burn, or are we going to stand up and fight back before we get to that point this time?
This is what America voted for, because that scary brown lady was just too ARROGANT.
Wait until there's no more naked people on the teeveez, and only three-two beer at your local store. The average American commuter will blame Democrats.
This is what America voted for, because that scary brown lady was just too ARROGANT.
It's fair, but lets not forget the tom foolery that happened with Biden after the first debate. Add to that the religious zeal tRump's base puts out for him.
Biden should have stepped aside after 1 term like he promised (he really seemed decrepit) and let Harris hit the ground with good running space to seperate herself from Biden while also being able to patch up after a performance like she put on in the second debate.
It’s almost as if the Dems are purposely inept when it matters most. Oh wait…
I'd rather have a dysfunctional government than a malicious government.
As an antitheist, I’m fine with religion, as long as it’s only ever inflicted upon those who have made an individual conscious, non-coercive choice to be subjected to its doctrine.
The moment it’s used to justify inflicting anything upon someone without their consent, it needs to be locked in an air-tight canister, with viewing windows, to serve as entertainment, and a warning to other vacuous ideologies.
How is it religion's fault for politics using it?
Politics couldn’t use religion in this way if it wasn’t normalised and tolerated to force it on those who don’t share their beliefs.
Who normalised forcing religion on non believers? Rulers or religions? I don't recall Jesus or Krishna asking for that.
The evangelicals love their old testament violent stuff. They actually want the world to end, think the jews will help and that's why they support zionists.
The evangelicals love their old testament violent stuff.
They HATE so much that they want the world to end so the people they hate will get what they think is really coming to them.
They say religion is the opiate of the masses, but I'd argue it's more just the syringe. Hate is the opiate of the masses.
yeah, caring about others is VERY anti-christ. Jesus would never ever care about others.
Fucking dipshit turd.
Anything except enthusiastic Christianity is “anti-Christian” to these people. Fuck them all.
So it is one nation under Christianity. Hmph.
I'm just waiting for the day they declare that us Episcopalians and our Methodist, Lutheran, and Presbyterian that support of LGBTQ+ folks are heretics and round us up.
No one expects the MAGA Inquisition!
/me snorts at the Montey Python reference.
Sadly, I think we all expect the MAGA Inquisition, though.
I'll bet that Lindsey Graham ("Mee-maws little warmonger") is secretly conflicted right now.
So? They are anti-christian...whooptie-doo...they are anti-scientology too. What does that have to do with government?
I think they're anti Muslim too
Fuck you and your religion.
Todd Flinstone, Fred's uglier and stupider brother.
What page of the Bible does it say to treat people like shit and force your religion on everyone?
I think its a twisted reading of the book of Matthew, which says:
If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.
-Matthew 5:29
So, if the LGBTQ+ people cause them to stumble, they'll cut them down. This is compounded by Leviticus (old testament verse they REALLY care about), which says:
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
-Leviticus 20:13
UnConstitutional. 1st Amendment. Disbarred.
Making Laws to Protect CHRISTIANS? What GOOD Jews!
-The ADL and AIPAC!
What the heck! All other religions are not Christian. They too?
Oh of course. It will probably go roughly in this order - trans, then gay/lesbian, then things like Wiccans/pagans, then atheists, then xtians of the "wrong" kind which will include Catholics, UU, Quakers, etc. If it's allowed to continue long enough, they will be down to just the Southern Baptist style of xtianity.
Of course the things aimed at Jews and Muslims already will ramp up...
They'll stone them too. Its last hired, first fired with this cult.
