Transgenderism versus Interracial Marriage.
#1
Transgenderism versus Interracial Marriage.
It was widely believed by Christians of all faiths a century to two ago that God had created the races separately, which is why interracial marriage was considered an abomination before God, and therefore, forbidden by natural and divine law.  If Christians win (for the moment) here in the near future with the Supreme Court, and discrimination against trans (such as myself) is deemed to be constitutionally protected speech and/or freedom of religion, how is such any different than a Christian business owner, health care worker, foster agency, etc., denying services, benefits, etc., to interracial couples, if such "offends" their religious beliefs?

RE: Transgenderism versus Interracial Marriage.
When you start out with the basic premise of "God created it" - it's not real surprising that you're going to have a fuckslew of bad ideas......

From my experience, the answer is either A) "It's different from back then because shut up", B) "What the Hell makes you think I'm against discrimination against interracial couples?" Or C) "Maybe I am technically against it, but I'm even more against the government saying it's okay for them to dictate what business can say or do because free market." And something tells me that, these days, B and C are going to be far more commonly espoused than A among right-wingers.
