teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Quote:At the start of this LGBT+ History Month, Netflix unveiled its new series about Alexander the Great, only to see complaints that the streaming service had “turned him gay”. When these drew the response that Alexander is widely believed to have had same-sex relationships, a typical reply was that this was “unproven speculation”. As a patron of LGBT+ History Month, I see this as an opportunity to argue for the importance of knowing our queer history.

Quote:X-Men Fans Push Back Against Anger Over Non-Binary Character
Morph, or Kevin Syndey, is a shape-shifting mutant that was killed off in the first episode of “X-Men: The Animated Series” in the ‘90s—but eventually returned to work with Mister Sinister, one of the franchise’s notorious villains.
Some comic-centric news sites and Youtube channels—along with posts on X—criticized the decision, saying the show is “ruined” by the inclusion of a non-binary character.
Fans were quick to defend the decision, saying that those expressing furor missed the point of the franchise—which has historically been used as an allegory for the Civil Rights Movement and addressed other social issues.

So a tale of social commentary of blind hatred, and the power of inclusion is "ruined" by the inclusion of everyone?
Brilliant. Flawless logic.

“Let's lay it right on the line. Bigotry and racism are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today. But, unlike a team of costumed super-villains, they can’t be halted with a punch in the snoot, or a zap from a ray gun. The only way to destroy them is to expose them—to reveal them for the insidious evils they really are.” - Stan Lee
