Like the reason they turned on Madison Cawthorne and exposed HIS dirty little secrets was because he talked about the orgies publicly.

And like, the fact they went out of their way to expose the stuff about him as he was demanding to be invited is pretty damning, as they actively avoid exposing each others dirt otherwise.

He didn't demand to be invited - he publicly talked about being weirded out about being invited to orgies by a bunch of old people, if I recall correctly.

Oh yeah. It was People generally thinking he wasn’t invited and him lying that he was and that’s why he had his secrets exposed since he revealed it out of spite.

Especially as there’s a North Caroline Speaker right now being charged over allegations of group sex.

[up]Angry letters don't have much effect on federal judges, sadly. They're designed to be above public pressure, can only be removed by Congressional impeachment (no way in hell that's happening), and the 5th Circuit have proven so lawless lately that even the Supreme Court are telling them to tone it down.

Yet another reminder a Constitutional Convention is very much needed now, even if it is currently impossible - because the whole Constitution needs revision to fix the mess we are in, not just amendments.

Random musing.

One of the most hilariously insane takes I ever heard about the Pride month and the LGBT community in general, is that using rainbow as a symbol is cultural appropriation because they stole the rainbow from God who invented it according to Genesis.

I don't know about you guys, but stealing rainbow from God sounds like a gigachad move make LGBT look really badass in my eyes. [lol]

According to “Christians” rainbows are simply a sign that nature is too WOKE.

And since God is against WOKE that means the rainbows have always been a PSYOP by the “Radical Left”.

[up][up][up][up], [up][up] I'm also reminded of how the anti-woke mob actually bitched about Pink Floyd being too woke.

Just because the band has prominently shown rainbow for the 50th anniversary of the Dark Side of the Moon album release. You know, the one with prism on the cover.

And those clowns have the audacity to call liberals a bunch of easily triggered snowflakes.[lol]

I gotta hand it to American conservatives and transphobes (or am I repeating myself).

Their relentless hatred and BS really helped me...in that they made me do research and look for actual statistics in terms of gender issues.

...As well as the fact that they helped me learn the sheer degree of projection conservatives commit in terms of child/teen sexual abuse.

EDIT: [down] Oh, darn. You actually posted during my edit/split of posting.

Just to clarify confusion, before my edit I mentioned how learning more about LGBT rights actually contributed to me de-converting from religion.

[up]Welcome to the club.

Though I will say that they've only pushed me away from organized religion and conservatism.

But yeah, they just project like hell. Probably because they can't imagine anyone else not being as malevolent as they are.

During the research process I also learned the fact that homosexual relationship and gender fluidity have been more common throughout nature and history then I ever known before...

...although that is also partially due to me being a WWII Alternate History webnovel writer, and thus naturally learning considerable amount about Nazi Germany as well as its ideologies and atrocities.

So it's really unsurprising that so much of LGBTQ-phobe movement has strong ties to Neo-Nazi.

Probably because they can't imagine anyone else not being as malevolent as they are.

True that, and I find it really disturbing just how quick and easy they associate children with sex...(shudders).

The most prominent images of Nazi book burning comes from them destroying the Institute of Sexology which was greatly accepting and seeking understand of sexualities beyond what was known.

It's despicable but one part that is funny is how much Bud Light fucked itself over.

They couldn't even do cynical pride-washing right and managed to piss off both the reactionaries and decent people. It would be purely hilarious if there wasn't a human cost.
