The homophobic thread :>

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

In addition to not knowing the difference in dead or alive honorees, there's this:

"Since its designation by Congress in 1999, National Military Appreciation Month is the nation’s opportunity to honor the service and sacrifice of servicemembers and their families. Though Memorial Day is the only federally recognized holiday in May, there are a handful of other specific military holidays spread throughout the month including ... and Military Spouse Appreciation Day."

31 members of white supremacist group Patriot Front arrested near Idaho pride event

But, they were just trying to protect children.
White supremacist who targeted LGBTQ+ “pedos” confesses to owning child pornography
He was a Patriot Front militia group member arrested for threatening an Idaho Pride event.


Jared Michael Boyce, a recently arrested member of the white nationalist anti-LGBTQ+ organization Patriot Front, has pleaded guilty to possessing images of child sexual abuse. He had previously accused LGBTQ+ people of “grooming children” and advocated for hanging pedophiles and Jews.

FBI agents reportedly found 22 images of child pornography on Boyce’s phone. The images included “children from toddlers to prepubescents performing sexual acts” and also minors “exposing their genitals,” court documents said.

Boyce admitted that the images belonged to him, the court documents added. He also told investigators that he had had “sexually-themed conversations about children” in an online chatroom, had transferred images of child sex abuse, and had sent an explicit photo of his genitals to a 16-year-old girl.

He pleaded guilty to nine felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and a misdemeanor of dealing in harmful material to a minor, KSL-TV reported. He now faces up to 30 years in prison for the crimes.
:---P
... Shortly after his arrest, Boyce’s mother, Karen Amsden, kicked him out of her house for refusing to quit the white supremacist group.
:---P At least he won't have to worry about being homeless.
... Boyce’s Twitter bio calls him an “Alpha Chad” (a slang term for a sexually active dominant male) and “Patriot through and f**king through,” and he uses the handle @PedosnJooshang (“pedos and Jews hang”).

His mother said that her son told her, “Don’t believe the media, mom. We were just there because they’re grooming kids,” echoing language that rightwing politicians like Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) have been using for months to vilify LGBTQ+ people.

“He’s so misguided and bought into all their rhetoric,” she said. “It just makes me sick.”

Parents clash in Pride protest at US primary school

Heaven forbid that in a school, city, state, nation and world with families of different cultures, including families with same-sex parents, that kids hear about them. Of course, materials citing a mommy and daddy is somehow not "sexual indoctrination!" requiring "parental consent".

Deport all bigots.

That "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" sounds like something I could really get behind, not least due to my extensive experience in their chosen field of perpetual indulgence.
"get behind" :lol:

It's chosen field of perpetual indulgence is using "drag and religious imagery to call attention to sexual intolerance and (it) satirizes issues of gender and morality."
Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence

Is there something you wish to share that we don't already know, nttawwt, and have you considered starting a Kingsport chapter?

So, did you return those books yet?
Uhhh, just like they say "there's more than one way to skin a cat," I say there are many ways to perpetually indulge. You just have to pick one. And for the more intrepid, there could easily be two or three areas of perpetual indulgence a connoisseur of indulgence may engage in concurrently. This is risky for a novice and not recommended. Seek out a connoisseur of known renown and you can't go wrong. Perpetualism.....indulgenceology. Never a dull moment.

Trump-appointed judge rejects Tennessee's anti-drag law as too broad, too vague

too "broad" :lol:
Tennessee’s first-in-the-nation law designed to place strict limits on drag shows is unconstitutional, a federal judge says.

The law is both “unconstitutionally vague and substantially overbroad” and encouraged “discriminatory enforcement,” according to the ruling late Friday by U.S. District Judge Thomas Parker, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump.
"substantially overbroad” :wave:

Image
... “Simply put, no majority of the Supreme Court has held that sexually explicit — but not obscene — speech receives less protection than political, artistic, or scientific speech,” he said.

The law would have banned adult cabaret performances from public property or anywhere minors might be present. Performers who broke the law risked being charged with a misdemeanor or a felony for a repeat offense.

Parker used the example of a female performer wearing an Elvis Presley costume and mimicking the iconic musician who could be at risk of punishment under the drag law because they would be considered a “male impersonator.”

Friends of George’s, a Memphis-based LGBTQ+ theater company, filed a complaint in March, saying the law would negatively impact them because they produce “drag-centric performances, comedy sketches, and plays” with no age restrictions.

“This win represents a triumph over hate,” the theater company said in a statement Saturday, adding that the ruling affirmed their First Amendment rights as artists.
:happy-cheerleaderkid:
...Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson, a Republican who was one of the law’s main sponsors, said he was disappointed with the ruling.

“Sadly, this ruling is a victory for those who support exposing children to sexual entertainment,” Johnson said, adding that he hoped the state's attorney general will appeal the “perplexing ruling.” ...
Bigots are easily perplexed. I oppose exposing children to the sexual entertainment of pols named "Johnson". Don't be such a dick, Jack.

Jack Johnson the johnson's wife, Deanna Bell Johnson, is a lawyer and Tennessee District Circuit Court Judge. Then again, she was dumb enough to marry him. Besides, these pols don't care if their obscene transphobia is legal. Taxpayers will pay for the lawsuits and the real point is appeasing hysterical RW media and pandering to RepuQ bigots, not necessarily winning.

More on Jack's bigotry:
Senator Jack Johnson defended keeping the controversial bust of the Confederate Lt. General and first Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard Nathan Bedford Forrest prominently displayed on the second floor of the Tennessee General Assembly building in Nashville, voting twice on separate occasions as a member of the State Capitol Commission against relocating the NBF to the nearby Tennessee State Museum for permanent display.

Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/facepalm.
:( Ah, found it, also on Reddit, go figure:

Proud Boy attempts to destroy Pride Sign

:lol: Pride > Proud. The heckling is a hoot:
I love her and I want to be friends with her. "You had to have a liberal help you with that".
LMAO! "The boys aren't so proud of you right now!" "You worked so hard, you can do it! You're so close!" "Do it for the BOIS"
‘Put it under your pillow’ okay that was fucking funny
This girl is a master at being a condescending asshole, I love it.
HULK STRUGGLE!
I guess there's more:
I just want to see the first part of the video where it seems like he was trying to fit the whole poster through the hole. That did not work. So he starts to try to rip it to throw it in the bin. That doesn’t work. The camera person shows him how to remove the lid and starts roasting the fuck out of him harder. He already tried so hard to rip it, can’t give up now. Still didn’t work. Surprise! Then he’s like, it’s mine NOW! Harumph.

The best part is that this is one of these moments in his life that he will never forget. Like trying to go to sleep when his brain goes “hey you remember when you couldn’t tear that sign in half in front of them homos?” and flashbacks when he had to open a difficult jar of pickles.

This is humiliation that will keep on giving and giving. Well done team 😌.
Made worse by the fact I’m in my kitchen 8000 miles away laughing at him
When you represent a racist and bigoted bunch of douchebags and try to be hard he ripping a pride sign yet struggle to do so and get blasted on the internet by tick tock video, you know that you’re a loser.
Hey Whack9:
LOL if you're built like an IT guy, don't try to act like a tough guy.

Admission: I'm an IT guy built like an IT guy
:P
As a gay man, this is the gayest thing I've ever seen.
Arrives at home. “Mom!! Where are the scissors?”

What is the world coming to when Cracker Barrel is no longer a safe space for crackers?
Right-Wingers Mocked For Full-Blown Freakout Over 'Woke' Cracker Barrel
The restaurant chain found itself on the growing list of companies targeted by conservative cancel culture.


Conservatives are having a kitten over Cracker Barrel’s embrace of Pride Month and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
"having a kitten" :lol:
The outrage adds the country store and restaurant chain to the string of companies and products being canceled by the right for being too “woke,” joining the likes of Chick-fil-A, Bud Light, Target, Kohl’s, The North Face, Lego and more....
Riiiight, like cons ever shop at The North Face. :roll:

... Right-wingers aren’t happy with those changes, but plenty of people are thrilled ― and many comments on Facebook are celebrating the company.

Cracker Barrel is responding to some of those positive posts.

“We want everyone to feel welcome at our table, and that will never change,” the company said in response to one.

“We truly value what everyone brings to the table and couldn’t be happier to read your kind words,” it wrote to another.

The right’s latest meltdown led to big laughs on Twitter ― and caused Cracker Barrel to trend:
sir, the cracker barrel has fallen

Image
After the great gay purge of 1991, the gays have slowly infiltrated and taken over Cracker Barrel. We play the long game.


Great minds :clap: :

Another failure:
Blue Jays cut pitcher Anthony Bass after latest anti-LGBTQ+ comments

... Bass apologized before a May 30 game against Milwaukee, one day after sharing a post on his Instagram calling for anti-LGBTQ+ boycotts of Target and Bud Light over support they showed for the LGBTQ+ community. Both companies are dealing with fallout from those campaigns, which have included hostile and homophobic criticisms and calls from LGBTQ+ activists not to cave to the pressure.

Bass, who was booed by Toronto fans in his two home appearances since the apology, spoke to a group of media before Thursday’s win over Houston, saying he stood by his “personal beliefs.” ...
Good on Toronto fans!

35 year old pitchers who are 0-0 with a 4.95 ERA in 22 games should probably STFU.

That "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" sounds like something I could really get behind, not least due to my extensive experience in their chosen field of perpetual indulgence.
DeSantis (and other haters) claimed Dodgers stadium was 'virtually empty' after Pride backlash, but the game actually had higher attendance than normal

Desperate bigots lie, a lot. Then, the cowards run shrieking away when their lies are busted.
... "We have asked the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to take their place on the field at our 10th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night on June 16th," the team said in its re-invitation statement shared on Twitter. "We are pleased to share that they have agreed to receive the gratitude of our collective communities for the lifesaving work that they have done tirelessly for decades."

While the satirical group was given a community activism award at Dodgers stadium on Friday, religious groups protested outside the stadium and briefly shut down the main entrance, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who recently launched his 2024 presidential bid, tweeted in support of the protesters and claimed the stadium was "virtually empty." Some conservatives circulated photos and videos, which were reportedly taken before the opening pitch, of a near-empty stadium.

"The virtually empty stadium for the game itself was a powerful image," DeSantis said in his tweet. "Americans are fed up with the nonsense and are fighting back."

In reality, Friday's game surpassed the team's average attendance of 47,800 people, according to Forbes.

"Our paid attendance on Friday night was 49,074," Joe Jareck, senior director of public relations for the Dodgers, told Insider in a comment....
Opps.

Fwiw, 47,800 is well more than the cumulative average attendance for the Tampa Bay Rays (17,186) and Miami Marlins (11,568). They are #27 and #29 in MLB. The LA Dodgers are #1. Bazinga.
https://www.espn.com/mlb/attendance
I blame gullible and stupid Fascist DerSantis, and that has a lot more credibility than his blaming of L.A. gays and allies. Only the train wreck Oakland A's (9,292) are worse than Miami. Ouch.

Ftr, San Diego (39,607) is a strong #4.
The Chicago Cubs (32,939) are a respectable #10.
Baltimore (20,403) is a lame #21.
The Chicago White Sox (19,347) are an anemic #23.

All this extra hate started with that effin' "bathroom bill", didn't it? When the prevalent public image of trans people turned from some little-known issue affecting a small group into an image of an old guy in a dress peeing in the little girls room at the park. Bring in the fear factor of child sexual abuse and tie it to trans people. Give me a Godwin's Law demerit if you like, but Goebbels had nothing on these people.

After years of getting fish slapped and stomped by gays and their allies the bigots setting the RW agenda saw a weakness in the support for trans folks. Of course, their minions are always easily stirred up to fear and hate no matter how illogical the issue. Trans people were always more likely to be victims than perps.

On top of that the trans community MAY have been too optimistic in the wake of gay successes. Perhaps they weren't strategic enough in their push for change. It's not like there has been a trans Will and Grace.
