Theater of the Oppressed
What has descended on our country is what we predicted years ago. The Left is not interested in gaining acceptance for homosexuality or transgenderism, drug use, homelessness, illegal immigration, or even election fraud. It is APPROVAL they are demanding. Yes, even for election fraud.
Gay rights was not an effort to afford rights to gays. They never lost any rights. They already had civil unions. It was a blatant attack on Christianity

Luciferase... the name alone gives me the creeps
Just for contrast, https://www.jstor.org/stable/2779118. Christian Intolerance of Homosexuality, historically. I think the Christians might have started it, just to be clear. Religion (Catholic) didn't work for me, (elder priest abused my sister) but after that, I also figured out that some of my Ojibwe/Chippewa near relatives in Canada were essentially forced to become Christians, (1750-) well, then my 'fear and loathing' made much more sense. And my final point, I will not try to convert anyone to being pagan, trees and plants my elders and teachers. Thanks for keeping an open mind.
