Today, lesbian gay and bisexual people have a new global organization

[KrustyKrab]

It’s baffling to me how people want to complicate their life’s with labels.   When it comes to the alphabet group I keep it simple.   I think you’re either gay or bi and since lesbians are gay, why do we need the term lesbian?   I also know that nobody can actually transition their sex to another, so, I don’t believe in the transgender myth nor am I going to participate in some people’s fantasy world that thinks a dude can be a girl.  I see that as a gay dude that likes to play dress up and pretend.   

So yeah it’s GB to me, gay or bi only.  It simplifies it all for me, probably not popular with some of ya that think there’s endless genders but……

4 months ago I'd laugh at the notion of going after marriage or IVF, but this is more Christian Nationalism every day, so its probably gonna go back to the late 90s for me.

I have a feeling it's going to be an interesting fall session...

Clarence Thomas says precedent might not determine cases on upcoming supreme court docket
The court is expected to weigh in next session on same-sex marriage, which it legalized in 2015

Settled legal precedent in the US is not “gospel” and in some instances may have been “something somebody dreamt up and others went along with”, the US supreme court justice Clarence Thomas has said.

Thomas – part of the conservative supermajority that has taken hold of the supreme court over Donald Trump’s two presidencies – delivered those comments Thursday at the Catholic University of America’s Columbus School of Law in Washington DC, ABC News and other outlets reported. His remarks preceded the nine-month term that the supreme court is scheduled to begin on 6 October.

“I don’t think that … any of these cases that have been decided are the gospel,” Thomas said during the rare public appearance, invoking a term which in a religious context is often used to refer to the word of God. “And I do give perspective to the precedent. But … the precedent should be respectful of our legal tradition, and our country and our laws, and be based on something – not just something somebody dreamt up and others went along with.”

Among the various cases Thomas and his colleagues are expected to weigh in on is a request to overturn the 2015 Obergefell supreme court decision that legalized marriage for same-sex couples nationwide. Other cases being mulled by the supreme court for its 2025-2026 term involve tariffs, trans rights, campaign finance law, religious rights and capital punishment.

Issues aside, I thought conservatives were supposed to be for gradual change? Someone has taken the brake lever off the clown-car.

Alito's predicted rationale:

"Because homosexuality was considered a sin, a mental disease until the 60s, illegal for many years, and before that holes were drilled into the head to let out the gay demon, we can establish provenance that homophobia is indeed a traditional american value to be upheld. Ergo, same sex marriages are now considered Antifa and God still hates queers."

And then he'll cite some case from 1688.

Let me check something before I move on.

According to a may 2025 Gallup poll, 68% of Americans think same-sex marriage should be recognized by the law as valid

Alright, so essentially a landslide super majority of Americans think it should be legal.

Alito's predicted rationale continued:

"Because acceptance changed only recently, it's not as ingrained into traditional American culture, and thus not representative of the most traditional values." 

Nevermind, we also made black people eat at dirty tables outside for 70% of our history as well, but that's the BS logic he used on Roe.  Let's just throw out 50 years of due process because if the bitch floats you know she was evil. Who needs the science of buoyancy anyway?

And then some bullshit about how the states want it more then the 62% majority that didnt want it, even though that is probably just a planned intermediary step anyway. 

Just saying, you think I am outspoken with my empathy for transgender being turned into an untouchable caste, force excluded from LGBT, or made bolshevik-like scapegoat, wait until one of the two remaining selfish dominoes falls. 

I think even Ayn Rand would be jealous of my fucking fountainhead at that point. 

But it appears that's what the fall of 2025 WANTS!

[UltraBudgie]

There's the fire.

Sounds like we're past the buoyancy-test.

You've discovered the weakness of Rules for Radicals.

It doesn't work if they're too angry to follow rules.



It's almost like Someone wants civil discord...

Supreme Court’s conservative majority prepared to rule against conversion therapy ban

A majority of the Supreme Court signaled Tuesday it is prepared to rule against Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy” for minors, with several justices indicating they sympathize with a licensed counselor who says the law violates her First Amendment rights.

In one of the most significant cases the high court will address this year, the justices were asked to decide if states may ban the discredited practice, which purports to “convert” gay people to heterosexuality or transgender people to cisgender. The outcome could have sweeping implications: Advocacy groups say roughly half of US states have banned the therapy for minors.

During a surprisingly low-key and short 90-minute session, several justices appeared to reject the idea the state can regulate “talk therapy” the same way it may regulate medical conduct. Much of the debate seemed to focus on how Colorado would lose, rather than whether it would do so....

Justice Samuel Alito, another conservative, pressed Stevenson on another point: How much stock the court should put into medical consensus. Alito described medical consensus as “very reasonable” and “very important” but then pushed Stevenson to acknowledge whether the consensus can change.

“Have there been times when the medical consensus has been politicized – has been taken over by ideology,” Alito asked. “Was there a time when many medical professionals thought that certain people should not be permitted to procreate because they had low IQs?”

Isn’t that a reason, Alito asked, to apply First Amendment protections rather than deferring to the medical consensus on conversion therapy?

Readying the Lady Gaga Illuminati Artillery for immediate field deployment!




Gonna have to do this again, I guess...

Sucks though, because the first 12 years we had our law nobody brought it up, but then 2025 happened. 

Alitologics: because consensus has been wrong in the past, like with low IQ reproduction, we must not listen to CURRENT concensus because they could be wrong about gay being natural. 

Well you know, Sammy Boy The Honorable Justice Samuel Alito who isn't a lost in time phobic asshole, there also was a concensus that homosexuality was a mental disease too, about the time frame of the example you use.  Idiots couldn't breed and queers were sick. They went together! The complimented each-other's Huxley inspired proto-eugenic phobias. Guess they dont anymore though?

Only this supreme court could use that rationale. And fuck them. It wouldn't be so annoying if it wasnt so predictable.

Just as a point of syntax, aren't they all Q? I mean, I hear that used as an umbrella term. Like G is a type of Q, as is L and B. Is that offensive to just call them all Q? Not in the nasty name-calling way of course. Crap, it probably would be taken that way. Hmm.

Anyway if it was, then you could ask them what their 'anon' thing is all about.

Why does "who you sleep with" need a global organization?

Seems like a waste of time.
