I’ve looked into getting involved locally. Unfortunately, the game is stacked against anyone with an unconventional work schedule, who works long shifts, who is non-white, queer, or disabled, who is a non-English speaker…
It’s set up so the majority of people who wield the power and influence are fairly affluent, privileged groups. This is by design.
The pope is not going to fuck you, no matter how much you defend him online.
Unless of course you’re a little boy. Then he probably would.
No the churches can all burn though with all the queerphobes and church leaders inside, ridding the world of a violent hate group forever <3
I hope the Pope gets killed instantly and horrifically. I need some uplifting news.
Nice job trying to excuse and downplay homophobia. I’m old as fuck, and we’ve known for a very long time these words were harmful. If your family just accepted the norm at the time and upheld a status quo that harmed and erased queer people, and then never changed to the point that they would just stop, then fuck them. They’re bigots, and they’re not good people.
And yes, I have family who speak English, Spanish, Korean, Swedish, and Norwegian, and only the completely dogshit ones who I’d never claim or associate with are bigots.
Fuck the pope, and fuck everyone who’s making excuses for him being a bigot.
It seems ableist to assume someone’s mental health is what causes homophobia
My grandpa had dementia when he died and thought I was his brother, and I also never heard him say queerphobic words
It’s a funny thing, though. My dad is an old man, and I’ve never heard him use a homophobic slur.
There’s a sort of twisted reason, though. Fascists need a manufactured enemy to whom they can attribute blame for society’s ills – in this case, the myth of a “border crisis.” It’s sadly effective too, and somewhere around 70% of right-wingers in the US believe it, many of whom are so ignorant they don’t realize they’re complicit in bolstering fascism.
