Tennessee Marriage Equality - The First to Fall

This thread is the equivalent of the bigger older brother holding his little sister's hand and slamming it against her face, saying 'Stop hitting yourself"

Take it up with "invalide", then.

never one to mince my words.

mangle them yes, mince them no.

grown men with cocks

Saying it how it is Boiled!

Well quite.

When you claim to represent the LGBT community, and you're telling people that men are lesbians, it's a bit rich to be shocked when they get pissed off.

The fucking hypocrisy stinks.

How many times did they threaten Get the L Out, or the LGB Alliance? It's not just forced teaming, it's forced teaming with threats of violence if they don't comply.

Plus, that's not even what the link says. The OP is inventing a specific backlash, that's not represented by the link, in order to have a go at the very people they're claiming to represent.

So what you're saying is, that it's women's fault that because we didn't give the QT everything we had, LGB people are losing their rights?

That sounds like blackmail to me.

So..let me get this right..something happened on another continent, mainly due to the backlash that had been caused by the T+ forcing themselves onto the LGB, despite many women and homosexual people saying no thank you. The T element brings with it so much homophobic rhetoric that people sick to the back teeth of having to address grown men with cocks claiming womanhood and lesbianhood as miss,

But we here are to blame.

ODFOD.

How are you doing for Twitter screenshots OP? Got what you needed yet, or can we help you out a little more?

The debate is about WOMENS existence, and our human rights. Not about trans. You are deeply, deeply ignorant and misinformed.

You are gaslighting here. So because some on the right wing know what a woman is, all feminists are right wing? Hitler loved dogs. If you love dogs, are you aligned with the right wing? Putin eats cake. If you eat cake, do you support Putin's war? Try to at least have a modicum of intelligence above 9 year old to not make false equivalence arguments. To say nothing of the fact you are attacking women who are increasingly being assaulted by trans activists and the victims of hate speech by the violent, hateful and bigoted anti-woman group you support.

Thread solved in one post. Epic. This is how the six of us and our socks control the USA. <evil cackle>

Incidentally OP, having seen the newly released Stonewall graphic today on what I'm allowed to think a lesbian is, and having seen that I'm not actually mentioned on it at all as a homosexual female as far as I can see and about 99% of it describes it as a trans identity available to anyone of either sex, apparently I'm not L any more. I've been bounced entirely from the LGBT+ definition.

So it's a bit rich really expecting me to be interested in what is happening to the rights of a group who have made it clear I'm nothing to do with them. Particularly when it's the consequences of their own actions that they're reaping.

So TERF island fucked the great state of Tennessee. Go us! I would like to see @invalide's reply to any of the responses on this thread but I fear that it was yet another "fire and forget" post.

Yes perfectly said.

Err like schrodingers feminist? Summat like that

Arabella, I do not for one instant believe that your hard stare needs practice.

This Lesbian wants nothing to do with the TQIA rubbish. It created the backlash we all expected.
But worse the T drove young people to mutilate their bodies and harm their health. It's evil and unforgivable

I loathe the T

Practising.

Poor old our frequent correspondant @invalide . So much angst, so little sense. Unable to attempt even a partial post in defence of their thesis. A poor show even by his very low standards.

Maybe public institutions should be forced to ensure they can accommodate gay couples without forcing individuals to act against their conscious.

I also think it’s imperative that we do not compel medical professionals to carry out procedures that they are morally opposed to. Hospitals should offer the service without compelling individual staff to carry out the procedures. It does only apply to a small number of procedures, which are matters of conscience for some people.

From a purely practical point of view, ensuring that the HCPs carrying out a termination are happy to do so ensure better quality care for the woman. Some HCPs will see providing the service as a matter of conscience just as others may see not providing it that way. It’s reasonable that the HCPs who are anti-abortion pass cases on to others.

So you agree with TERFs being forced out of their jobs because they have views some people don't agree with?

The question is not whether, in the UK, a registrar has to marry everyone (they do). The question is whether the decision to exclude people of certain views from certain jobs is really allowing freedom of conscience.

In the case of registrars and gynae nurses, I suspect 'reasonable adjustments' (pass it on to a colleague) is a possible solution.

The problem we're seeing is that some activists don't want reasonable adjustments. They want forced agreement.

For a registrars office? Sorry I don't agree with this. If a couple is forced to shop all over the county or farther to find a public institution willing to perform their wedding that's not on. The views of the registrar don't come into it - they don't like it they can go work at Starbucks. It's as bad as gyno nurses in public hospitals refusing to assist in abortions. Sweden's got the right idea if you ask me in firing anyone who ducks out of an integral part of their job in this fashion.

Thanks for explaining @LifeExperience. Always good to hear the facts.

I live in Tennessee and it's a good law. All it says is that people with deeply held religious beliefs against homosexual marriage don't have to perform such marriages.

The 1st right enumerated in the Constitution is the right to religious freedom. This bill merely confirms that right.

The fact that millions of devout Muslims, Jews and Christians have moral objections to homosexual behavior doesn't sit well with some, but it's a fact, and in the US it is enshrined in law.

You can believe that if you wish but how do you explain LGBT acceptance going down as the T comes to the forefront? Coincidence?

Hang on, I thought there was no such thing as sex as it was a social construct so no need to have rights for same sex anything?

I wish I could keep up.

This thread is the equivalent of the bigger older brother holding his little sister's hand and slamming it against her face, saying 'Stop hitting yourself '

We all know the real cause behind the harm, and it's not the little sister, and it's not the LGBT community.
