My take is that if they don't want to serve every client, then they shouldn't be subsidized by the government as they served every client.

Yeah, it's like saying that homosexuality didn't exist in an area because no one was open about it back then. It very much did exist, there is just a penalty for being openly transgressive with the religious status quo back then.

That's a really good take. We don't do that for religious schools, so why with hospitals?

Not surprised in the slightest.

They are right to be mad about the dems doing nothing against Israel, but they need to keep in mind that right-wing is infinitely worse. Remember when Trump killed Soleimani with zero hesitation? Trump would raze Gaza, Iran, and Lebanon to the ground. Not to mention it would be worse for ppl here

Yeah, those religious people still won't forgive him for that either. They'll cheer it on and be relieved regardless of how much he contributed to their cause.

I will never bash theatre kids. It's good training for voice acting, choreography, and character acting.

"How Fascism Works" by Jason Stantley gives a playbook on how right-wing ideology manifests in communities. It always arises out of "sexual anxiety" and a "mythic past".

Just goes to show that even if people hid their sexual orientation as instructed, bigots would still look for any trace of queerness and show it to everyone by describing it in the most vulgar detail to adults and children. Pride allows ppl to describe their sexuality in a positive context.

Makes sense tbh. Christianity isn't really about having good morals, it is about feeling effortlessly superior to undesirables.
