I think I've come to the conclusion that a significant amount of people that are against LGBTQ+ are just pissed off that they can't come out because they'll be ostracized by their community or family. Either that or they have religion so far up their ass that they think that if they do this to all LGBTQ+ it somehow makes up for their impure thoughts. And since they can't have it, nobody can. Or it doesn't even exist otherwise they'd be "evil."

"I can't be transgender! Transgender people don't even exist!"

Religion is a hell of a psychosis for sure. Especially these days when things like Christianity are most visibly wielded by one of many many Antichrists. To be clear I actually don't have a problem with real Christians. They're just a minority in their religion unfortunately. But it's crazy the psychological torture/damage that can be done to people. Making them hate themselves over things they have no real control over. For fear of eternal damnation. And the way they ply that trauma and toxicity on others.

There is no such thing as a "real Christian". Setting aside that there is nothing real about it, every mode of Christian arbitrarily emphasizes some doctrines or parts of the Bible and ignores others.

I hear if you put two things in one box you can pay for the one thing at the register. I've only heard about that, though. ;)

I wonder what Agent Orange thinks about people that unlawfully enter the Whitehouse, that unlawfully attack the police. I wonder what he thinks about people that use other people's money to hush up a porn star, or people that steal classified documents ? I could go on but for now, fuck that arsehole.
