Christian parents still throw their children to the streets for coming out of the closet.

I fear a time is coming where the LGBT community will be forced back into the closet or into conversion therapy by law with the alternative being the death penalty. That is the ultimate goal of religious conservatives.

I think the society depicted in A Handmaid's Tale is closer than many want to admit.
The new mantra of the Left: "It's Fox's fault."

I look at the issue from the most objective source I can find. It's called, "The Bible." God made two sexes: male and female.

You're joking, right?

People don't always treat people they perceive to be illegal aliens very kindly. Especially in Trump's America.

Maybe that's why she's uneasy. My own child is half Chinese and when we go to places that look like they're full of Trump voting types (blue collar, lots of pickup trucks, mostly white, older) who would support his racist views, she becomes uneasy.

You cannot tell a person how they're supposed to feel.

Is there some reason any of the rest of us are supposed to care what you think is "sin and perversion?"

See how that works?

The most objective source is biology, not your own, personal avenue for spiritual guidance.

Not everyone's Christian. Why do you think the laws here should be? Sounds like a theocracy to me.

Kind of like most of the Middle East.

I know I know. God hates f*gs and f*gs are worthy of death.

It’s the opinion of a PHD in Psychology at Johns Hopkins as well.

Not comfortable with sin and perversion? Why do you support this clown in office? He is the ultimate sinner and a real pervert who loves to grope women’s privates. Hypocrites on the right....

It’s not “kind” to enable mentally ill people into thinking their desire to be the opposite sex is normal. The “kind” thing to do is to tell them the truth and get them the mental help that they need.

You know that's been disproven as any sort of valid position, right?

It's also not kind to be so judgmental.
