The homophobic thread :>

Translated, that means the cocksuckers are winning the right to be recognized as cocksuckers and assfuggers. Verde is dancing with glee while posting this goddam stupid garbage because now he don't have to hide in the supply closets and slink around the rest areas after dark. I believe there's a hidden message in that Laurel and Hardy dancing gif; "Free at last, free at last, thank the flying spaghetti monster, we're free at last."
We poor, poor bigots may be losing, but faggots are still lowly faggots, and that's about as low on the scum and freaks of nature scale as you can get. Be proud of your lowly standing in society, it's the only pride you deserve.

Guess How Much That Anti-LGBTQ Law Is Costing North Carolina

... The Grand Total

Adding all that up, the total cost to North Carolinians so far from HB2 protests is slightly more than $395 million. That’s more than the GDP of Micronesia. And the bulk of it is from sporting organizations, who even five years ago would likely not have waded into political territory like this. But experts aren’t that surprised that the NBA, NCAA, and ACC have taken this step now. “They’re not out on a limb here,” Durso says. “They’re in line with their base.” The near unanimous outcry against HB2 and in support of the NCAA and ACC confirms that. Legislating discrimination has become an expensive bad habit.

The NC GOP is bad for business.

The NC GOP is bad for business.

With the Romney and Jeb! campaigns and the rest of the clown cars for both elections, SuperPAC donors had zero Return On Investment (ROI). Even Karl Rove's SuperPAC funding Congressional battles had a near-zero ROI.

The NC GOP has topped them, giving donors a negative ROI.

[homerfobe]

Why HB2 is important to enforce in NC.

I can't believe a man can look down into his pants and swear he's a damn woman. Same with a woman swear she's a man.
What's wrong with these freaks of nature?

Elon Poll: N.C. voters oppose HB2, razor-thin margins in governor, U.S. Senate races



Q: Regardless of what you think about HB2 itself, do you think the national reputation of North Carolina is better, worse, or about the same since HB2 passed?

Better: 11.4 percent
Worse: 59.9 percent
About the same: 23.1 percent
Don’t know: 5.1 percent

So much for the myth of blacks being bigoted against LGBTQs. They're just a few token churches that get trotted out by the homophobes now and then.

Fascinating, the supposed bathroom victims, women, are far less likely to be worried about trans folks. Seth Milner, for example, has never mentioned being personally afraid or afraid on behalf of boys. Seems this is about his own issues and not a group that needs protecting. Maybe women would rather not have McCrory and Seth forcing them to share a bathroom with, say, Laith De La Cruz.

[homerfobe]

Fascinating.... Laith De La Cruz

I bet he is fascinating to you. Makes you cream your jeans don't he. Nasty looking bastard. shewwww!

NC court rejects former magistrates’ gay marriage lawsuit

The N.C. Court of Appeals ruled on Tuesday that two former magistrates have no legal standing to sue state court administrators who informed magistrates in 2014 that they could lose their jobs if they refused to perform gay marriages.

The former magistrates, Gilbert Breedlove from Swain County and Thomas Holland of Graham County, resigned after John Smith, former head of the state Administrative Office of the Courts, issued his guidance memo. The two former magistrates, who described themselves as devout Christians, filed a lawsuit filed in April 2015 seeking to be reappointed as magistrates and to receive back pay and benefits for the time spent resigned from their posts.

The appeals court upheld a lower court ruling to dismiss their case. Both courts found that the plaintiffs lacked standing for their lawsuit because local judges have power to appoint, suspend or fire them – not the state officials who sent the memo.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in the autumn of 2014, state legislators enacted a law allowing magistrates to avoid performing same-sex marriages based on religious beliefs. That law has been challenged in a separate lawsuit.

Devout Christian bigot shirkers lose, again.

[Seth Milner]

A Christian that opposes homosexuality on religious grounds is a bigot shirker?

[rstrong]

When he's shirking the duties of his government job, yes.

If as a church official he won't perform marriage ceremonies based on race, sex, age or whatnot, that's fine. No-one is forcing him to, and he's not forcing his views on others.

If as a government magistrate he won't do it, that's NOT fine. That's using his government position to force his personal religious views on others. He's shirking his duty to not do so.

[Seth Milner]

When he's shirking the duties of his government job, yes.

No-one is forcing him to, and he's not forcing his views on others.
But moving sports venues, taking your business elsewhere, etc. is not an attempt to force your views on others? :-0?>

If as a government magistrate he won't do it, that's NOT fine.
I can agree with that.

That's using his government position to force his personal religious views on others. He's shirking his duty to not do so.
Shirking his duty, yes; but it's not "forcing" his personal religious views on others; no more than others attempting to "force" their views on him.

[rstrong]

No, it isn't. It's not the government moving sporting events and other business. NO-ONE is ordering them to move; they're doing it of their own accord, of their own free will. If you disagree with them you're free to move in your own business or sporting event to take their place. They're saying, "You're free to go along with this, but we don't have to."

That's using his government position to force his personal religious views on others. He's shirking his duty to not do so.
Shirking his duty, yes; but it's not "forcing" his personal religious views on others; no more than others attempting to "force" their views on him.

Just like Kim Davis, he's a government official. And instead of enforcing government policy he insists that he should override it with his own personal policy when dealing with the citizens he serves.

If you seek to become a government official you must accept that you won't agree with every policy. That is the nature of a democracy with multiple political parties and many beliefs, races, religions and more. It's certain that there will be something you disagree with.

Seth Milner fails accuracy, again.

He is forcing his personal religious views on others, both by denying government services to some and by making taxpayers pay for his shirking of his duties.

My "personal religious views" . . . You know something about me I don't?

Yeah, I wrote a pleading letter to Obama demanding that he . . . . well, you know.

Kim Davis’s Anti-Gay Views Might Cost Her County Big Time

It'd be interesting to tally how much the bigots have cost us in almost exclusively losing battles over the last few years.

"Cost US"? Just how much did you lose? If it's gotten that bad, you might have to hock your laptop, huh?
Suck it up, Buttercup.

[O Really]

Dang, Vrede, there you go again. Don't you know money spent by state, local, and federal governments grows on trees, and never costs citizens anything? Depending on the location, money may grow on palm trees, as in Florida, or, in the case of Kentucky where Davis lives it can be picked off the blossoms of bluegrass. No way it could have ever cost you anything.

[Vrede too]

I am utterly shamed that I am not as ideologically socialist, wasteful and repeatedly unsuccessful as homerfobe, Seth Milner and the Christian bigots.

I'm going to go read some Marx, Dorothy Day and Mao now. I'll try to be better, I really will.
