Christians, some of the most willfully obtuse assholes on the planet, dedicated to obscurantism. One Jerry Boykin, executive vice-president of the Family Research Council, is terribly upset over the cowardice of the Regime, characterised by the Pentagon’s annual LGBT Pride Event.
“This is a social experimentation, and it has so demoralized our military,” Boykin said. “And it’s not just gay pride day, it’s women in the infantry, it’s a variety of things that were part of the Obama administration’s agenda.”
Boykin said that he had “great expectations” that the new administration would be “stopping this kind of stuff,” but was disappointed.
No, it’s not a social experiment. It’s acknowledging and accepting people for who they are, recognizing that they are indeed full humans, who have all those nifty human rights. As for “stopping this kind of stuff”, at least the people in the Pentagon had the integrity to continue inclusiveness and recognition.
“They may be otherwise very courageous people, but when it comes to this issue they have shown no ounce of courage whatsoever, and they’re better people than that,” he said of Trump-appointed Pentagon officials. “It is time to take this on and say, ‘We are not going to celebrate how people have sex.’”
It’s not about sex. It’s not about sex. It’s not about sex. It’s not about sex. It’s not about sex. It’s not about sex. It’s not about sex. It’s not about sex. It’s not about sex. It’s not about sex. What in the Fuck is wrong with christians, that they simply cannot stop obsessing about and over sex? No one wants your disgusting, judgmental noses all up in their sex lives, and no one is interested in regaling you with sex stories. Maybe that’s the problem, I don’t know. Christians of all stripes are one the leading consumers of porn, when in the hell are you all going to get enough, and leave the rest of us alone?
Boykin went on to say that he is “saddened” that Defense Secretary James Mattis “doesn’t see” that “the biggest thing that has happened to our military” is not sequestration budget cuts but instead is “these social experiments where our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, coastguardsmen have essentially been told by the actions of the administration that your primary mission really isn’t as important as a social agenda, and therefore I will put you into combat, I will put you in harm’s way, but what I’m really concerned about is whether we allow women to serve in the infantry, whether we celebrate how people have sex. That is insane as far as I am concerned.”
Your obsession with sex and toxic misogyny are right on the border of questionable sanity as far as I’m concerned. How about you get that looked at? And shut the fuck up while you’re at it.

That last quote is completely incoherent.
Is it the women or the having sex that makes combat dangerous?
I’ll go with women. We are the cause of all evil, y’know.
There must be a way to weaponize *women having sex with women*.
Given the choice of what to spend your fifty billion dollars of military budget on, I’d vote for a women’s social club and gay sex meet over a load of angry pious blokes going out to kill brown people every time.
Just think how many lesbian sauna clubs and gay men’s quilting circles you could get for that!
I hate breaking it to you but
1. All ways in which gay people have sex are also practised by straight people, with or without the aid of toys.
2. You’re thinking more about how other people have sex than is healthy.
Taking the pride to the Pentagon? Well, I guess that’s less problematic than the other way round.
WTF? I just heard that Finnish police will officially join this year’s Helsinki Pride. I thought this was already widely criticized when it happened in Canada a couple years ago.

Last year, a Finnish off duty military officer wore his uniform at pride, which was widely criticized. It was legal only because, ironically, the pride is not officially classified as a protest. I heard they’re now tweaking the law to include all political events.
When it comes to being obsessed with sex Christians are worse than Freudians.
Wouldn’t that depend on what sort of role-playing one likes, and how dexterously they use their noses?
Isn’t that exactly backwards? The whole point of right-wing politics is to put social agendas before practical concerns: “Who cares if he’s good at his job, he’s gay!”
We are simply opposing that idea, defending the right for people to be judged by their merits, not incidental traits. That’s not a social agenda, that’s the absence of one.
See? If I had something intelligent to add to the thread -- like LykeX did -- I wouldn’t be derailed/derailing by this talk of noses.
… I need to get out of the office.
The word “agenda” has significantly gained popularity among bigots lately. Like having an agenda is something bad. Having a hidden agenda may be problematic, but liberals are quite overt about accepting people for who they are. Now what does suggest a hidden agenda, is insinuating language like “experiment”, “lifestyle”, or “agenda”.
