Bullying LGBTQ Kids Is the Christian Thing To Do

There once was a bill to ban bullying of LGBTQ students in Kentucky. It was approved overwhelmingly by a House Committee, but now it has stalled in the House itself. How does this happen? It would seem so simple: protect children from bullies. How does this not just fly through the legislative process?

Well, opponents of the bill, who probably oppose any bill that would have the acronym LGBTQ in it, are saying that religious freedom and free speech.

Wingnut Mike Harmon

One such wingnut, is Representative, and Republican, of course, Mike Harmon, who says that he believes homosexuality is a sin, and that students who share his faith-based belief should not be prohibited from saying as much.

See what he did there? He wants to allow Christian students to bully gay students. Just the Christian ones, though. Heathens would be punished.

And Mike Harmon adds that rules against bullying are already in place in Kentucky public schools, where they are required to implement anti-bullying programs and report bullying to law enforcement. So, he filed an amendment to the new bullying bill that would allow Christian students to condemn other students' sexual preferences as long as that expression of a religious belief does not include physical harm or damaging property.

Oh, so the good Christians can taunt the gay kids, call them every single foul name in the book, and be freely allowed to do so as long as it causes no physical harm? I guess emotional harm doesn't count, because, well, those fags don't really matter, now do they?

Harmon thinks the Christian bullying will start and end with one student saying to another, I think homosexuality is a sin. How naive of him to think that there won't be filthy epithets thrown at LGBTQ students, or does he think it won 't happen because those kids are good Christians. See, to me, if you believe in that sort of thing, that good Christian thing, you would treat others as you would want to be treated.

Mike Harmon's methods are wrong, and won't work, and I hope, if his amendment is approved, and the bill passes, that he is held personally accountable for any physical harm that comes to any LGBTQ student at the hands of some supposed Christian.

You don't tell anyone that bullying is okay if it's only words.
