I have never been so proud of Missourians.
At least our kids aren't bigoted assholes.

Quote:Students forced members of the Westboro Baptist Church to flee – after the hate group tried to protest a transgender homecoming queen.
Kids at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri elected their classmate Landon Patterson as homecoming queen last week, with overwhelming support from the student body.
However, the news attracted hatred from the anti-gay lobby – with the Westboro Baptist Church attempting to stage a protest outside the school.
It did not go their way, however, with a large group of counter-protesters rallying to drown out the group.
The students carried signs reading “Love wins” and “Westboro Baptist Church needs Jesus”, while chanting “long live the Queen”.
Patterson said previously: “Going in, I didn’t know what to expect.
“I’ve dreamt about it, freshmen year like ‘oh I wanna be that girl out there walking’.
“To have my students and friends vote for me, makes me feel welcomed and loved. For who I am.”
Pro-Landon supporter Brian Scheetz told KFVS: “We want to show that Landon is a part of our community and a big part of the school. As a friend of my son’s, we’re just here to show our support.not go their way, however, with a large group of counter-protesters rallying to drown out the group.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
