I think we need to listen less to old people who have failed to keep up with the times. Sure, they have wisdom to impart as well, but in many cases they're just people stuck in the mindset that what worked for them in 1973 is still the best way to do things in 2023, as if nothing's moved on.

Book bans are sweeping US schools. A surprising new victim? The Bible | Arwa Mahdawi
When Utah’s Republican lawmakers decided to clamp down on ‘pornographic or indecent’ texts, they won’t have had the Old Testament in mind, writes Arwa Mahdawi

Not "banned", though. Simply moved out of reach.

Specifically the ones that tell them to stone certain people to death, and to beat their children with rods.
Don't forget the ones about Gays being bad and God will nuke your ass(But he's the good guy, trust me bro) if you tolerate them or some such.
Whatever faith I have in the US government, especially regarding the bureaucracy, is gone.

So there was this school board meeting in Glendale where "concerned parents clashed with LGBT advocates" being breathlessly and credulously reported on by the media...
Except it's the same crowd of fascists who always travel from state to state to indulge in gay bashing. And people pretend the media has a left wing bias

But hey, it's totally okay that children read passage about women lusting after balls as big as donkey, in fact, they should be forced to.
Don't forget jizzing like horses. That's important too.
Anyway, I do find it amusing that even thousands of years ago, guys were so worried about their womenfolk running off with some well bedicked foreigner that they put it down for posterity in their religious texts.
I assume you have only good opinions about the same crowd of "lgbt+ advocates" who equally travel to get into those fights.
fighting to protect people and their rights, and fighting to attack people and deprive them of their rights are pretty different. It’s only logical to treat them as such.
What if I told you that neither group is doing either of those things, and both are trying to capitalize on wedge issues to advance their political influence? Would you believe that people who like swastikas don't actually care about LGBT things in schools, but see them as an opportunity to garner support for their cause? Or that the people who seem to conveniently discover global communism as the solution to all problems have no particular connection to the children in those schools?
OK, this is something that happened
You know what also happened? Pat Robertson died.

Aye it's Jim! And Liz again! And the white rabbit. Frolicking among the fields of wonderland, rescuing imaginary children,OK, this is something that happened

Forgot for a while they exploited Chris Cornell's suicide to insert into their narrative. That has rejuvenated a slumbering anger. A motivational anger at least.
No, I wouldn't believe that, because their cause specifically involves discrimination and violence against LGBT+ people.
This is like saying, "the Nazis don't care about race, they just use race to advance their cause [of attacking other races]!" It's nonsense.
If we indulge in a Pat Robertson line of reasoning, him dying at the beginning of Pride Months shows that God has signaled his support of the LGBT community, especially the trans people, given the current discourse
You don't understand.
If Pat Robertson lives, it's because god wants him to keep up the good fight againest the gays.
If Pat Robertson dies, it's because god is finally calling him home.
It's always a morton's fork with people like this.
Just like if a bad thing happens to someone they don't like, God is meeting out Justice/Wrath whereas if a Bad thing happens to someone they like, God is testing their resolve. It's never God meeting out Justice/Wrath to the faithful, because HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT(except when he does).
No, I haven't recently discovered Deuteronomy 28. Why do you ask?
Would be interesting to see the secrets reports on UFO. Loads of "radar technician only got the job because his uncle is rich" and "Turns out Florida man was trying to teach alligators to hang glide" stuff, I bet.Whatever faith I have in the US government, especially regarding the bureaucracy, is gone.

Since the right to protest or otherwise speak your mind is fundamental and paramount I tend to see protests from the point of view of idealism, so it kind of breaks my heart to hear people go on tours of protests to maximize the calculated impact of their speech instead of engaging in honest conversation until they convince people. It's a such cynical outlook when compared to the ideal of letting people know your position and convince you of it. Then I remember that that's the tactics the civil right movement did against segregation so I've just accepted that my ideal is just an ideal and actual change seldom or never is carried by them alone.
I would believe that they care about LGBT issues. Not their main issue, but yes. The Nordic Resistance Movement's (self described national socialists) formulation is that they have no issue with what consenting adults do in their homes but take umbrage at public displays of homophilia or other activities that seeks to normalize or exalt unnatural phenomena, and that a healthy and functioning family is obviously formed by a man and a woman. So yes, straight from the horse's mouth: they care about that stuff.
