Buttigieg claps back at Barrett's usage of 'sexual preference'

Her stances on LGBTQ rights faced increased scrutiny after Barrett used an outdated term to refer to them.

When asked to clarify how she would rule on LGBTQ issues like marriage equality and employment discrimination if they came before the Court, Barrett said:

"I do want to be clear that I have never discriminated on the basis of sexual preference and would not discriminate on the basis of sexual preference."

While the term "sexual preference" was widely used in the early 2000s, the terminology is considered outdated as the term "preference" implies that one's queerness is a choice—a pervasive falsehood that's been used to justify the persecution of LGBTQ people across the globe.

After a string of viral appearances on Fox News, Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor and Democratic presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg, made waves in the LGBTQ community when he—an out, gay man—came closer to the presidency than any LGBTQ candidate in history.

Buttigieg:
My *preference* is that the winner of this presidential election should choose the next justice.

Texas passing a law that allows social workers to discriminate against LGBT people.

Fuck Texas with a rusty machete.

Leave it to the south, and all those years of inbreeding to come up with such an original idea.

Jesus would be so proud.

Just sent this to the office of the texas governor

Since you are the result of inbreeding, I can see why you're so fucking dumb.

When did you first have sex with your mom? How often do you fuck your daughters? Who is better, your daughters, or the sheep?

You are a piece of shit!
Kindly choke on a bag of cocks

Pope Francis voices support for same-sex civil unions

[The Architect Of Fate]

I confirm this is true

A discussion on the subject of gay marriage will last exactly 5 seconds . Till it switches bitching about how the playoffs have been disrupted by a player strike or Covid ensues. Or how bad or good the Leafs are doing this year . As a Canadiens fan i find that last bit particularly hilarious .

Pope Francis voices support for same-sex civil unions

Fuck the pope with a red hot tire iron. "Civil Union" is not matrimony as the RCC defines it. He's giving up nothing.

[The Grand Nudger]

Ish. The catholic line has long been that catholic belief could never approve in any way of homosexual behavior, not morally, not legally.

He's giving that up, but only because they see no other way to continue to fight marriage equality outside of a separate but equal policy.

[Fake Messiah]

Pope is getting his holy ass whipped by bishops who still want to hate/ persecute gays, and who even seem to consider the pope a heretic

US Cardinal Raymond Burke hits out at Pope Francis for sowing 'confusion' among Catholics by endorsing same-sex unions and says the pontiff's 'private opinion' does not 'correspond to the teachings of the Church'

American bishops have hit out at Pope Francis for endorsing same sex unions 

Cardinal Burke said Francis's remarks are 'devoid of Magisterial weight' and 'do not correspond to the constant teaching of the Church' 

Cardinal O'Malley and Bishop Tobin also spoke, calling remarks 'private opinions'

Francis called same-sex couples 'children of God' and 'have right to be a family'

Which was expected, which is the role they play. If we keep in mind that his position is designed to allow the catholic church to continue to argue for inequality, we realize that they are not the other side of the catholic team ganging up on him.
