Ohio Hates Fags ... And Anyone LGBTQ+

Oh Ohio, you are so Tennessee.

In the latest state to come for the LGBTQ+ community and our access to healthcare access, Ohio will now allow medical providers to refuse to administer any medical treatment that violates their moral, ethical, or religious beliefs.

In other words, they will not offer healthcare to any of us because of their warped belief in God.

Even more troubling, is how the politicians in Ohio snuck this new bit of hate into a 700-page document of last-minute amendments to the state’s two-year budget bill, which Ohio Governor, and Republican because of course, Mike DeWine approved last week.

Even more frightening, is that this new provision allows anyone providing medical care—from doctors and nurses to researchers and lab techs–and anyone paying for that care—like your insurance provider—the “freedom” to decline, well, actually refuse, to perform, participate in, or pay for any health care service which violates “the practitioner’s, the institution’s, or the payer’s conscience as informed by the moral, ethical, or religious beliefs.”

Funny how they can so easily toss around the word ‘conscience’ when refusing medical help to a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

So, they just need to say God, and they can turn away a member of the LGBTQ+ community from getting the healthcare they need, or the insurance payments they need to cover their healthcare expenses.

Governor Mike DeWine could have struck that hate-filled anti-LGBTQ+ language while signing the rest of the budget into law but declined to do so—even though he issued 14 other line-item vetoes—because … bigot … hater … homophobe … Bible thumping asshat. And as bigots do, they try to hide their bigotry as best they can, as evidenced by DeWine actually having the nerve to say that this provision won’t change the standard of care in Ohio.

Except it does if you’re LGBTQ+.

DeWine seems to think that if you go to a doctor who is a God-fearing homophobe, that doctor will deny you service, but will refer you to someone else; if a lab gets your tests results—say for HIV—they won’t process them because God Hates Fags, but they’ll pass your tests along to someone else.

It all sounds so nice, except, even if the someone in the medical profession does attempt to make that referral, a quarter of Ohio’s population lives in rural counties, where LGBTQ-friendly medical care is sparse; so good luck getting health care if you’re LGBTQ+.

Ohio doesn’t care about the LGBTQ+ population.

Mike DeWine doesn’t care about the LGBTQ+ population.

The GOP buried this hate in the bowels of some 700-page list of bills because they don’t care about the LGBTQ+ population.

It’s time for the LGBTQ+ community, allies of the LGBTQ+ community, and anyone who believes that any kid of hate is wrong, to one by one, person by person, office by office, remove these bigots from positions of power.

You see, as it is happening in Ohio, right now there are more than 250 anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced in state legislatures in 2021, breaking the previous “record” in 2015. 

We have fought for the right to work, to live to breathe, to marry, to adopt, and still the Republican party comes for us in any way they cane.

The fight is not over; the march goes on.

And lastly … fuck you, Ohio.

Hate, Alive and Well In 2021

I … well, I was going to say ‘hate’, but my grandmother used to get on me for  saying it, and so I began using loathe with every fiber of my being—See? That sounds better; so, I loathe, with every fiber of my being, organized religion.

I have always thought its main purpose was to ‘us’ and ‘them’ the world; set ‘us’ apart, and supposedly above, ‘them’.

I’ve told this story before, but it bears repeating: when we first moved to Camden and began meeting people, we got all sorts of questions: Where are you from? Where will you work? Where do you worship?

Screeching halt. Worship? I wasn’t expecting that, and because I tend to speak my mind, shoot from the hip, talk first and think later, I’d say I wasn’t much of an organized worshipper.

Well then, they’d invariably ask, how do you talk to God? And, again, not thinking, perhaps, I’d say that, if you believed in that sort of thing, isn’t God everywhere, and if He, and sometimes I’d say She just to mess with folks, is everywhere, why do I need to sit in a church and worship? I could talk to Him or Her anywhere at any time.

That was almost always met with silence, followed by, ‘Well, have a nice day.’

So why talk about his, again, today? It seems the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee voted this week to expel two churches for being LGBTQ-inclusive.

Yes, both the Towne View Baptist Church in Kennesaw, Georgia, and St. Matthews Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky have “been removed from the convention [because they] affirm homosexual behavior. 

Those two churches; they like The Gays; they think God likes The Gays. And so, they’re out.

In 2021.

You know, I don’t know much about organized religion, but even as a child, going to church with my parents, we learned that God loves everybody.

And then I learned that it’s just the bigots that run the churches that hate.

An Open Letter To Clarence Thomas

Dear Clarence,

I saw the good news from SCOTUS … that the Court decided the lawsuit against anti-marriage equality Kentucky Kounty Klerk, Kim Davis, who was jailed in 2015 after refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, to continue. Davis had argued that a legal doctrine called qualified immunity protected her from being sued for damages by couples David Ermold and David Moore as well as James Yates and Will Smith, but SCOTUS said ‘No, ma’am.’

Good news, no?

Maybe not, because then you wrote, for yourself and Justice Alito, that while agreeing with the decision not to hear the case, it was a "stark reminder of the consequences" of the court's 2015 decision to legalize same-sex marriage case. You wrote:

“Those with sincerely held religious beliefs concerning marriage will find it increasingly difficult to participate in society without running afoul [of that SCOTUS ruling] and its effect on other antidiscrimination laws.”

And then you said:

"Davis may have been one of the first victims of this Court’s cavalier treatment of religion in its Obergefell decision, but she will not be the last. … Since Obergefell, parties have continually attempted to label people of good will as bigots merely for refusing to alter their religious beliefs in the wake of prevailing orthodoxy."

I have two words for you, Clarence … fuck off. Wait, I have two more … fucking hypocrite.

You see, Clarence, you, a Black man, married Virginia, a white woman, in 1987 … a mere twenty years after the Supreme Court ruled that laws banning interracial marriage violate the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. At that time peopled argued that interracial marriage was against “God’s law” and should therefore remain illegal.

So, you see, Clarence, but for a 1967 SCOTUS ruling, you could not have married your wife because people believed God wanted the races to be separate. And now, you want to make same-sex marriage illegal because people believe that God wants marriage to be only between one man and one woman.

And don’t get me started on which religions rules we’ll follow, Clarence, though it’s clear you only listen to the bigoted anti-LGBTQ+ faiths, while ignoring those religions that have come to accept and embrace same-sex marriage, as well as those who are non-religious and think faith should have no place in our laws. And that leads us to that whole idea that this country was founded on a Separation of Church and State, which clearly means that religion has no place in making law in this country.

So, Clarence, kindly fuck off, Clarence. What might you say when a group of religious bigots decide they want to roll back the legality of interracial marriage, and who knows, that may well happen when you let faith dictate law, I hope you won’t mind giving up your wife.

I, however, will not give up my husband, nor will I give up the right for members of my community to marry the person they love.

So, again, Clarence, kindly fuck all the way off.

The other morning, watching the morning news over breakfast, there was a story about a Lance Armstrong documentary, wherein Armstrong compares himself to LeBron James and Michael Phelps, though I forget exactly when they were stripped of their title for using performance-enhancing drugs. But I digress. As I ranted about ‘Lance Armstrong’ Carlos looked at me and nodded in that way that I know means he has no idea of whom I’m speaking.

“Lance Armstrong.”

“Oh.”

Loooooooong pause.

“Do you know who I’m talking about?”

“Neil Armstrong,”

“No.”

“Oh. Who?”

“Lance Armstrong.”

“Oh.”

Loooooonger pause.

“Do you know?”

“No.”

I thought for a minute he either believed a bicyclist rode a bike on the Moon, or that an astronaut won the Tour de France.

I say this to him on a daily basis … ever since he informed me of the law. But Tuxedo really does the big arching back tail straight in the air stretch!

Last week, Wylie, Texas Mayor Pro Tem Jeff Forrester asked Eric Hogue ,Wylie’s  GOP mayor, if Youth With a Mission, could lead a prayer at the next city council meeting. Hogue said in an email that it was a good idea, as long as a man lead the prayer; he cited two Bible verses about women remaining silent in church, saying he takes them literally:

“So I have always requested that a man lead the invocation. I understand not everyone agrees with me, but I can’t go against my conscience.”

After Hogue’s email was posted to Facebook, he clarified his ignorance by saying women can be president, a CEO of a major corporation, or anything they want, but they cannot—because of two Bible verses—lead the invocation at a city council meeting,

Hogue has been mayor of Wylie for 12 years. He is also a pastor; he is also a professional magician who once moonlighted as “Clinky the Clown.”

Maybe it was Clinky at that council meeting? No … even clowns aren’t that dumb.

Meanwhile in that Hot Mess of a Swamp-filled White House … Zach Fuentes, _____’s former deputy chief of staff, won a $3 million federal contract to supply respirator masks to Navajo Nation hospitals in New Mexico and Arizona 11 days after he created a company to sell PPE  in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Bad news, the Indian Health Service [IHS] says that 247,000 of the masks delivered by Fuentes’ company—at a cost of roughly $800,000—are unsuitable for medical use. An additional 130,400, worth about $422,000, are not the type they asked for.

But, hey, he’s a _____ ally, so just hand him the keys to the vault.

Dear Evangelicals,

Your savior demanded that “our” churches and houses of worship be opened at once, but did he bother to go to church. Nope. He played golf.

I’d ask if you feel stupid now for supporting this lying charlatan, but I know you don’t because, while y’all are a lotta things, you’re not Christians.

Amy Cooper, that white woman who tried to use NYC police officers as her Racism Valet because a black man asked her to leash her dog, has issued a public apology. Cooper said she was sorry and that her call wasn’t motivated by racism:

“I’m not a racist. I did not mean to harm that man in any way.”

Yes, Amy, you are a racist because you clearly felt that adding the word ‘black’ before man would get a quicker response; you are a racist because you began shrieking into the phone as if that evil black bird watcher was physically attacking you.

Cooper has been fired from her job … sorry, not sorry, and the Humane Society saw the video and took her dog away from her.

Good.

COVIDIOTS in Alabama flocked to the beaches over the holiday weekend, creating the perfect petri dish for the virus to spread. And judging by some of the comments of these fools to news media, the Ignorance Virus runs deep in their veins:

One young man said:

“I’m just here just to have fun and meet everybody and be cool, When it’s my time to go, it’s just my time to go.”

It’s not just you you’re affecting and, perhaps, infecting, asshat. That’s the issue; the fact that you think frolicking on the beach is okay even if it kills you, shows that you are brain dead already.

A young woman said:

“Everybody’s gotta [die] somehow. I don’t wanna die but if that’s what God has in store for my life then that’s okay.”

Do me a favor, then, asshat; when you get sick please refuse all medical help and just go … since that’s God’s plan.

Larry Kramer died yesterday. He fought the AIDS pandemic; fought the government who sought to forget about us; fought the medical community which tried to treat us as less than; fought the pharmaceutical companies who sought to make coins off our lives …and deaths.

He spoke for us when we couldn’t say how we felt; Larry told our stories for all the world to hear.  In a world growing louder by the second, Larry’s voice, full of anger, resentment and hope was the strongest one out there.

He took on presidents and corporations and hospitals and mainstream America. He made sure we were seen and heard.

He acted up, he acted out, he stood up, and he spoke out.

Larry Kramer is a hero. Rest now …

Now … Charles Leclerc is a Monégasque racing driver, currently driving in Formula One for Ferrari, and hotttie fashion model.

He looks like a tasty little morsel.

Ooh.La.La.

Franklin Graham Doesn't Hate The Gays Y'all ... He Says So

Anti-LGBTQ evangelist Franklin Graham went on anti-LGBTQ FOX News host Laura Ingraham’s show to prove to everyone he is not a homophobe because his organization—Samaritan’s Purse—the group funding the makeshift coronavirus tent hospital in Central Park, makes all workers, including health care providers, “read and adhere” to a statement of faith that says gay people should be hated.

The text that workers are asked to adhere to asks them to agree that marriage is “exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female” and the unrighteous are sentenced to “everlasting punishment in hell.”

And, as Laura Ingraham does, she asked the wrong question:

“Why are you being attacked for opening a field hospital?”

Um, Laura, you tool? He is not being attacked for opening a hospital he’s being attacked for making people sign an anti-LGBTQ+ Hate Pledge. Still, Frank played the victim:

“We believe marriage is between a man and a woman… That goes back to the beginning of time to the first man and woman that God created. We have a statement of faith that we require our employees to sign and in that is a marriage is between a man and woman… And that is very offensive to some people in the gay community. I’m not homophobic.”

Not homophobic, huh … please to explain. Frank, why you have called The Gays child molesters when the Boy Scouts president called for an end to the ban on gay leaders...

Why you threatened to leave Wells Fargo Bank after it featured a gay couple in an ad...

Why you said God would smite Obama with lightning for celebrating Gay Pride…

Why you pitched a hissy fit over Target’s gender neutral toys…

Why you blasted Obama for inviting LGBTQ people to see the Pope…

Why you boycotted the Girl Scouts over their support for LGBTQ rights…

Why you called for a boycott of Disney over a gay Beauty and the Beast character…

Why you called called on Pete Buttigieg to repent for being gay…

Why you thanked _____ for banning the LGBTQ+ Pride flag at U.S. embassies…

Why you denounced Taylor Swift for supporting the LGBTQ Equality Act…

Why you blame The Gays for the spread of STDs…

Why you called Chick-fil-A’s CEO to ensure the chicken restaurant chain remained anti-gay…

Why you defended a pastor who read an anti-gay prayer aloud in the Virginia legislature.

If it looks like a homophobic hater, and rants like a homophobic hater and bullies like a homophobic hater, then it’s a homophobic hater and can fuck off.

ISBL Asshat of the Week: Arizona Homophobe Doug Ducey

Arizona’s Republican governor, and asshat, Doug Ducey, says he is “against discrimination in all its forms” …except for The Gays; anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination is just fine with him because there are too many laws already.

Arizona already has laws on the books prohibiting discrimination based on things like race and gender and national origin and religion and there’s just no room on the books for new laws to protect Arizonans based on their sexual orientation and gender identity.

Of course, LGBTQ people aren’t protected in 28 other states either, but in Arizona it’s apparently because the governor doesn’t want any more laws, so LGBTQ people? Too bad.

Ducey was responding to that recent ruling by the Supreme Court of Arizona in which a couple of homophobes, Joanna Duka and Breanna Koski , sued the state to be allowed to discriminate against LGBTQ Americans—see my original post HERE—because, according to the court  every American has the right to “express their beliefs in public,” which “includes the right to create and sell words, paintings, and art that express a person’s sincere religious beliefs.”

Like invitations, cuz that’s what Duka and Koski sell. And Doug Ducey praised the ruling:

“The court was able to find a place where they could respect the First Amendment and religious freedom. And we’ll continue to be a state, because it was so narrowly decided, that doesn’t accept discrimination in these forums. I’m against discrimination in all its forms.”

And yet he refuses to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected classes in his state, so clearly, since he’s against discrimination, Ducey thinks LGBTQ people are less than human, led than other people. And that’s been made clear because Doug  Ducey has not only opposed marriage equality but he’s against domestic partnerships as well.

Much like a certain bigot in the White House, homophobe and asshat Doug Ducey packed the state supreme court with anti-LGBTQ+ conservatives after expanded the size of the court, allowing him to appoint justices that would further the same hate-filled agenda he has fought for most of his career.

He says Arizona has too many laws, but he clearly has no problem having laws allowing LGBTQ Arizonans who pay taxes, own businesses, serve in the military and contribute to our economy to be discriminated against.

Seriously, Arizona, you can do better than this, can’t you?

Doug Ducey, an old school gay hating homophobic family values Christian conservative who says he hates discrimination while praising it and doing it is our Asshat of the Week.

Brush & Nib Sued So They Cannot Get Sued ... What? Huh?

You want to know what the world is coming to? It’s this …

The owners of Brush & Nib Studio—a print shop in Phoenix—recently won a major LGBTQ discrimination case to keep them from having to print wedding invitations for same-sex couples.

Yes, in 2019, people are still suing to be allowed to discriminate, but that’s not what the world is coming to; it’s this …

Brush & Nib  Studio has never been accused of discriminating against anyone, and they have never printed invitations to a same-sex wedding. They sued preemptively for the right to refuse to print same-sex wedding invitations, should that situation arise.

In 2016, Brush & Nib sued the city Phoenix, arguing that the city’s ban on discrimination violated the company’s freedom of speech. Brush & Nib co-owners, bigots, homophobes, asshats, Joanna Duka and Breanna Koski, say they are “devout Christians” who wanted to overturn the civil rights law before any complaints could be filed against them.

Duka and Koski also want to post a sign in their window saying that they refuse to serve same-sex couples. I wonder how these two vile human beings would feel if they began seeing signs posted in businesses that said they refused to serve “devout Christians”?

And don’t get me started on any spot in the Bible that says hate is devout.

Brush & Nib’s operating principles were drawn up by the religious right legal group and says the business “is owned solely by Christian artists who operate this entity as an extension of and in accordance with their artistic and religious beliefs.”

It does not specify what their beliefs are. But I can guess: their beliefs are Hate; plain and simple. And that’s what the world is coming to; allowing people to sue so they don’t get sued for discrimination when they discriminate.

There you have it; and if you live anywhere near Brush & Nib, and opt to use their services, keep in mind that you are supporting hate masked as Freedom of Speech.

_____'s Gay Hating Gay Boasting Hypocrisy

It seems like it was just last week… cuz it was … when _____ bragged about his endorsement from the Log Cabin Republicans, an ALLEGED LGBTQ group, saying he was the best ally of our community. And for a hot minute, right after he was elected, it appeared to be true …

Fourteen days after his ill-attended inauguration, _____ did something  that, at first, seemed like the right thing to do: the White House put out a press release promising to safeguard LGBTQ rights, specifically claiming that _____ would not overturn a 2014 Obama administration executive order protecting LGBTQ employees of federal contractors from workplace discrimination.

And then he began chipping away at our rights, and late last week it was announced that his administration would like to make it legal for LGBTQ Americans to be fired simply for being themselves. The White House is filing a series of briefs in three critical LGBTQ rights cases set to be heard by the Supreme Court this fall as to whether the protections of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, religion and sex, extends to sexual orientation and gender identity. 

In Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia and Altitude Express Inc. v. Zarda, gay men say they were fired because of their sexual orientation, while in R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission takes up the case of a funeral director named Aimee Stephens who was fired from her job after transitioning to female.

Can you, or me, or any LGBTQ American be fired just for being LGBTQ? Well, after that first of many thousands of lies he’s told America in general, and our community specifically, _____has made it clear that his position is: Yes, you can.

And yet the LCR still stands behind him, licking his … boots? We are being shoved back into the closet by a man who has called himself our greatest ally, and who promised not to do this very thing.

The DOJ is also trying to overturn a ruling that set a major precedent back in 1988—Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins—that defined “sex discrimination” as including gender stereotyping. In that case, Ann Hopkins was denied a promotion at consulting firm Price Waterhouse because, as a Lesbian, she was viewed as too aggressive. The court found that this type of stereotyping fell under the definition of sex discrimination.

And all three new cases—Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia; Altitude Express Inc. v. Zarda; R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission—are relying on the Hopkins decision to show that discrimination based on sexual orientation or transgender status is a form of gender stereotyping. 

Don Zarda, a skydiving instructor, was fired after revealing to a client that he had an ex-husband; had he been female, such an admission wouldn’t have triggered a dismissal. In Stephens’ case, she’s being accused of violating the funeral home’s dress code, but had she been a cisgender woman, there would be no violation. But the DOJ brief discounts that argument, claiming that discriminating against Stephens was OK because the funeral home owner, Thomas Rost, would’ve also discriminated against a transgender man.

Oh, well doesn’t that make it all better.

The DOJ brief also mentions Thomas Rost’s religious beliefs, even though they’re not part of his argument. The brief makes sure to quote Rost’s assertion that allowing Stephens to present as a woman “would be violating God’s commands if [he] were to permit one of … male funeral directors to wear the uniform for female funeral directors while at work.”

But it’s not just SCOTUS and the DOJ; using religion, and let’s be queer, it’s the white Christian faith, as a shield for bigotry and homo- and transphobia, _____’s Labor Department has proposed a rule that makes it easier for companies to discriminate against LGBTQ workers because of God.

Now remember, this is from the guy who called himself our greatest ally, and who promised to keep us safe from discrimination, but, again, just last week a reporter at the Washington Blade asked _____ if he was OK with his administration taking steps to make it easier to discriminate against LGBT people in the workforce and _____ refused to answer, saying, instead:

“I’ve done very well with that community and some of my biggest supporters are of that community, and I talk to them a lot about it. I think I’ve done really very well with that community.”

Well, sir, that community, other than the self-loathing asshats in the LCR who have yet to jump ship because they’re enjoying a nice tax cut which helps them look away from hatred and homophobia, is not with you.

And our allies are not with you.

And even if you call yourself our ally, be clear that in 2015, you pulled in just 14% of the LGBTQ vote, and I don’t see that number getting higher this next time around.

We’re here.

We’re queer.

And we see you as the lying homophobic jackass that you are.

God Hates Fags, BLOTUS Says So

That picture is of the old White House, the one that tried for inclusivity; the one that allowed for religious freedom as long at it wasn't used as a weapon.

I miss that White House.

This new, hate-filled, traitorous White House and  it's Department of Health and Human Services have announced a rule that would allow healthcare workers—doctors, nurses, emergency personnel, and hospice workers—to refuse service to LGBTQ Americans by citing their religion as justification.

Cuz God Hates Fags, y’all.

In addition to being anti-LGBTQ, the rule would allow healthcare workers the right to refuse to provide birth control, refuse to treat women who have had abortions.

Cuz God Hates Women Who Want The Rights of Choice.

And so, let’s be clear, about the right to refuse service to LGBTQ Americans. This doesn’t simply apply to those with HIV or AIDS, though that is vile enough, but it means a healthcare worker can refuse to treat LGBTQ citizens for any ailment, or condition, simply by invoking the name of God.

Oh, you have a cold? God says too bad.

You’ve been hit by a car? Sorry, God told me No.

You’re  gay? Not helping. Bisexual? Keep it moving. Transgender? Please leave.

All because _____ wants to appeal his base of hypocritical, faux religious evangelicals, who are really just bigots and homophobes.

And anti-women.

St. Ann's Catholic School Bans Gay Couple's Child; Thousands Protest

St. Ann Catholic School, a Roman Catholic grade school in Kansas, have denied enrollment to a kindergartner who is the child of a same-sex couple.

A few years ago, this would have been met with applause from other parents, and locals, but this time around some 1,000 people—half of whom are members at St. Ann—have signed a petition asking church leaders to reconsider their decision:

“Respectfully, we believe that the decision to deny a child of God access to such a wonderful community and education, based on the notion that his or her parent’s union is not in accordance with the Church’s teaching in Sacramental marriage, lacks the compassion and mercy of Christ’s message.”

You know, cuz Jesus never said a word about The Gays.

And yet, by way of a reply, school Superintendent Kathy O’Hara said:

“[The] Church’s teaching on marriage is clear and is not altered by the laws of civil society. The Church teaches that individuals with same sex attraction should be treated with dignity, however, the challenge regarding same sex couples and our Catholic schools is that same sex parents cannot model behaviors and attitudes regarding marriage and sexual morality consistent with essential components of the Church’s teachings.”

I love that she says the Church teaches that Gay Folks should be treated with dignity, while denying their children the right to an education at a Catholic school, and the claims that same-sex parents are somehow immoral or bad role models.

The height of dignity! Not lost on me is the fact that an institution with a history of rampant child sexual abuse paints themselves as the moral compass for the ways to raise children.

You know, cuz a priest raping a child is bad, but a child raised by a same-sex couple is somehow incapable of teaching morality.

And then we have St. Ann’s pastor, the Reverend Craig Maxim, who further explained Catholic Hypocrisy:

“[Allowing this child to attend school]  creates a conflict for those children and what is experienced at home. It also could become a source of confusion for other school children.”

Um, and here’s where I’d say to the not-so-good reverend, that children aren’t the ones with the issue, it’s the parents who teach the children that a child of a same-sex couple is different or less than.

The children are taught to hate by their parents and by the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Oh, and the hypocrisy grows because this Catholic school accepts students who are not Catholic, who do not follow the teachings of Catholicism, or perhaps any faith at all. But those kids are deemed worthy, while the child of a same-sex couple is ostracized.

And while other children are raped by the very hypocrites who push this ideology forward.
