(October 10, 2021 at 12:36 am)Fake Messiah Wrote: North Carolina lieutenant governor says he "will not back down" amid calls to resign for calling LGBTQ+ education "filth"

North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson said Saturday that he "will not back down" as politicians call for his resignation over recently resurfaced comments in which he referred to "transgenderism" and homosexuality as "filth."

"Let me tell you plainly right here and right now: I will not back down," he said in a video posted to Facebook on Saturday. "I will not be silenced and I will not be bullied into submission. I will continue to fight for the rights of our children to receive an education that is free from sexual concepts that do not belong in the classroom."

"There's no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth," the Republican politician was heard saying in video that was recently posted on social media. "And yes, I called it filth, and if you don't like that I called it filth, come see me and I'll explain it to you."

Yes, Huggy. Find it yourself. You’re a big boy. Take some time away from looking up Bible literacy websites and do some actual research on gender and biological sex. That is your assignment. I’ve already done this work for myself. Come back tomorrow and tell us all what you’ve learned.

Let's just wash the world of the filth that is christianity.

Anyone in government who makes such an unabashedly clear statement against those in the LGBTQ community needs to be summarily removed and barred from ever running for office again. Our government officials are supposed to be there to work for all citizens, not just those their own particular ideologies agree with. Their religious beliefs can inform their own private lives, but they should never be allowed to filter into the legislative world that makes up the laws and protections for every citizen of this country. Then again, for us to make that a reality we'd have to remove just about all of the people currently serving in our government, since most of them allow their religious beliefs to shape everything they do in government.

As much as I'm quite sure I'm going to regret this, I'll answer you. 

An LGBTQ+ inclusive education would mean teaching about the historical impact of specific people in the LGBTQ+ community. Their achievements, the terrible oppression they've faced since the spread of the disease of Christianity into places that historically were supportive of those of different genders and sexual orientations. It would include scientifically based sexual education at the appropriate ages, so that children who aren't straight can know that they are perfectly normal, and be educated on the realities of sex that will make sense to them so that they don't do what most of us have done for the past decades and learn about it from pornography. It would include making sure that the learning environment is inclusive and supportive of them, so that they can know that they are safe in expressing their true selves, instead of hiding in their cocoon of false heteronormativity, creating internalized homophobia that can take decades to unlearn. And it would include access to mental health facilities that would be there to support them as they deal with the very real stresses of being part of the LGBTQ+ community in a world where a sitting member of government can openly be such a pile of steaming garbage that he could call us filth and get away with it, or where their peers can bully them, sometimes to the point of suicide, because of people who refuse to allow topics related to their very being to be discussed openly so that we can stamp out the toxic homophobia that is rampant in schools. 

So, basically, it's a mirror to the struggle BIPOC have been through in this country. Until very recently, and hell, in some places even today, there is such a lack of education and support regarding the lives and history of BIPOC individuals that the trauma is ongoing. That's another area of our educational world that needs a massive upgrade. But in the same way, people fight tooth and nail to keep it from happening so that the existing culure of oppression, and gaslighting can continue.

How much do you want to bet that North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson has a secret account on a site where men meet men for the sexin's? Double or nothing on if he's a bottom or if he's a BOTTOM.

To be fair, this was actually pretty funny. Thanks for the chuckle.
