The gay conservative group already had a poor record of defending trans rights. Now it is officially dropping the ‘T’ from its mission.

and I'm sure when they've run out of brown people to put in concentration camps and trans people to bully out of the public eye, and the Trump regime needs a new scapegoat because gas and groceries are still or even more unaffordable, us gay people will have Absolutely Nothing To Worry About. I'm sure Republicans have forgotten all about the years they spent calling AIDS a plague from God to punish the gays, one that we deserved, that Reagan was happy to watch happen until straight people started dying too.

Surely.

    Minority group supporting fascist leader who is persecuting minorities different from him think persecuting a fellow minority group will keep them from being persecuted by the fascist leader they support and are surprised when it doesn't work.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National_Jews

    The Association of German National Jews (German: Verband nationaldeutscher Juden, VnJ) was an assimilationist and nationalist German Jewish organization which was formed during the early years of the rule of the Weimar Republic and during the early years of the rule of Nazi Germany, that eventually came out in support of Adolf Hitler.

    [...]

    Despite the extreme nationalism of Naumann and his colleagues, the Nazi regime did not accept the Association of German National Jews as a legitimate intermediary. Following the passage of the Nuremberg Laws, the VnJ was declared illegal and dissolved on 18 November 1935. Naumann was arrested by the Gestapo the same day, and imprisoned at the Columbia concentration camp. He was released after a few weeks, and died of cancer in May 1939.[1] Most other members and their families were murdered in the Holocaust.[17]

    Trans gender isn't even discussed in the Bible. I feel like they are inventing reasons not to support trans people.

    I mean maybe. If God made mankind in their own image, "male and female" according to genesis, I presume God has all of said parts to be considered likeness.

    Also mildly comical... If the Holy Spirit is the breath that breathes life into existence, I would have to say the egg may be the vessel, but sperm is the holy spirit in terms of likeness.

    This is such a fun conversation. I'm a priest in the Episcopal Church and our denomination has been talking about this for many years now. One of my colleagues made a great counter to the whole "male and female" thing by noting that God also created light and dark and day and night and there's a whole range of things that exist between those two dichotomies.

    Also, there's numerous trans readings regarding Jesus within the Bible itself! For instance, Saint Paul notes that Jesus "is the Wisdom of God." Paul is drawing from the wisdom tradition, which depicts God's wisdom as a woman. Further, Saint John's gospel clearly draws from the book known as the Wisdom of Solomon (from the Apocrypha) for his preface, held by many Christians to be the most explicit biblical statement on Jesus' divinity. Later, saints like Julian of Norwich and Anselm of Canterbury would write of Jesus being our Mother. So there's a rich tradition which recognizes Jesus, a He/Him male, embodying long established and celebrated feminine aspects of God (it's for this reason that I don't usually go for swapping the gender of the Father or referring to the Holy Spirit as "She" because I feel like it winds up masking the more clear, and challenging, divine feminine things about Jesus found in the Bible itself). There's definite trans/gender-queer things going on in these texts!

    Log cabin Republicans are still... Republicans. i.e., not concerned about others less fortunate than themselves nor for the general good. If that were not the case, they wouldn't BE Republicans

    It is stupid enough to vote Republican if you are gay, but then being traitorous against fellow victims of the conservative rage machine is really a human low point.

    Assholes will be assholes. It's nice that they tend to advertise it to the world so you know not to hang around them.

    I encourage them to wear shirts that proclaim their bullshit. It doesn't offend me, it just makes it even easier to avoid interacting with them.

    It's crazy how this sounds just like non-cabin Republicans talking about log cabin Republicans.

    Republican state Sen. Bob Hall, 77, said LGBT groups promoted “unnatural sex,” according to the Fort-Worth Star Telegram, while 69-year-old GOP activist Steven Hotze charged gay people with encouraging “immoral and perverted sexual proclivities” in emails opposing the Texas Log Cabin Republicans’ recognition by the state party.

    “The [Log Cabin Republicans] is a front group for the LGBTQ,” Hotze wrote, which he claims seeks to “force businesses, churches, schools, governments, and individuals to accept, affirm, and celebrate those who promote and participate in perverted sexual activities.”

    Someone should tell these motherfuckers about Theresienstadt, the self-administered Jewish ghetto used for propaganda by the Nazis, until it too was swallowed by the machine and administrator and resident alike went into the ovens.

    That is exactly how I see gay people who punch down on trans people, or Black people that punch down on Asians, etc.

    In an abusive situation, punching down never helps anyone, even the puncher. It just makes the puncher another abuser whose own time is coming too.

    I met a woman at an airport bar at LaGuardia in 2017, and after talking to her for a bit I learned she was a lesbian and then subsequently a Trump voter and supporter. I’m a cis straight white guy and the sentence “oh no I fuck women but I voted Trump because I care about my money” still makes me want to wretch 9 years later.

    For every moment where I feel a sense of solidarity emerging in the general US population I hear someone say that a VP of an oil and gas company is just ‘looking out for their family’ or something else equally bootlicker. I’m legit worried that even this nightmare reality hasn’t been enough to wake most people from their cognitive dissonance

    Yeah, this is very "Sure I'm in the firing line, but I negotiated with the executioner to make sure there are enough people in front of me that they run out of bullets before they get to me."

    Rather than work with others to resist and overthrow the systems of oppression, they think they'll land on the safe side of the purge quota. But then the fascists come back with another box of ammo.
