I was a public school teacher for thirty years, and although I loved the children dearly, I would never enter such a homophobic profession the second time. Bigotry is the root of all evil. #publicschool #publicschools #publicschoolteacher #publicschoolteachers #bigots #bigotry #bigot #bigotryisthrootofallevil #bigotryisevil #endbigotry #eschewbigotry #gay #gayrights #homosexual #homophobia #racism #sexism #xenophobia #christianvalues #christianbigotry #fundamentalists #fundamentalism

5. Rampant #Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional #gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to #abortion is high, as is #homophobia and anti-#gay legislation.

When Rainbow advertising is seen in Lewistown, the only thing one can be certain of, is that it's NOT Gay Pride Month. #gaypride #gaypridemonth #gayrights #gayequality #equality #equalrights #civilrights #civil #civility #bigotry #endbigotry #homophobia #endhomophobia #rainbow #rainbows #rainbowadvertising #inclusion #supportinclusion #lgbt #lgbtrights

The NT: In them old cotton fields back home

"Incoming Northern Territory Administrator David Connolly has apologised over his trove of divisive past social media posts, a day before he is formally sworn-in."

"Mr Connolly's past commentary has been labelled variously as sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic and bigoted by various groups including the Northern Land Council (NLC), the Country Women's Association NT and the Aboriginal Peak Organisations of the NT (APONT)." >>

"WARNING: The WRCSB is voting Monday on a motion that would ban pride flags, slogans, and symbols from being hung or shown (even on a sticker!) on school property. Even teacher's personal flags would not be allowed.

Please show up on Monday to show support!"

I will add that their motion also erases Indigenous Peoples by saying the Canadian flag represents all. Kitchener is on the Haldimand Tract, the stolen, occupied territory of Six Nations.

#LGBTQI+ #Guerin #Proudhon #misogyny #homophobia

"Pierre-Jospeh Proudhon is best known as the anarchist who exclaimed Property is theft!, and the first anarchist to fall foul of Marx and Engels’ tendency to viscously turn on those who who refuse to submit to their authority.

He is less well known as a misogynist, and even less so as a venomous homophobe. Here Daniel Guerin analyses Proudhon’s misogyny and homophobia and the raging contradictions brought about by his hatred and the paradoxical consequences this has on Proudhon’s anarchism. Guerin’s research reveals a complex and conflicting emotional relationship with men and masculinity, and consequently women and the feminine, in Proudhon’s life.

(. . .)

Daniel Guerin (1904–1988) was a leading figure of the French New Left, and authored dozens of books on Capitalism, Fascism, Socialism, Marxism and Anarchism. He was an early advocate of gay rights in the New Left, which saw him ostracised from much French leftist publishing houses. His best known works in English are perhaps *Anarchism* and *Anarchism: From Theory to Practice*."

#SueBird was told to not #comeout in the #WNBA. Imagine what #gay #NBA #players are being #told.

Bird opened up about her early days in the #WNBA and having people tell her “#success” would only come if she #pretended to be #straight.

Many of us understand that there is one side of the US political spectrum that has turned truly awful, but what a lot of people don't seem to understand is how that got that way and why they are so adament about their beliefs. Of course there are pragmatic reasons (people who are wealthy and in charge of things want to stay that way) but still it is truly astounding that so many people who are not among the category of "rich white men" will still cling to those who probably despise them, or if not them then people they know and maybe even love. There is a person I know who is employed at a public agency and his direct boss is probably the biggest Trump supporter in the building - oh, and she also happens to be a lesbian. How does that make any sense at all, given what Trump and his followers have said they want to do to #lbgtq people?

Well, a big part of it is religion, and in particular the Christian religion. So many of those people have somehow been convinced that to oppose Trump would be to oppose "God's annointed" even though it is obvious to most of us on the outside of their bubble that Trump is not a God-fearing man, and would probably be among the first to have Jesus shot to death if he ever came back.

But step back a bit - where did this idea of just unconditionally obeying a "man of god" come from in the first place? Well, that is certainly nothing new, after all the early church required its followers to obey the Pope and all the bishops and cardinals and priests and so on. But where did that ever come from? After all, Jesus for the most part condemned organized religion, especially the scribes and the Pharisees of his day, according to the Bible.

So where did #Christianity go off the rails? Well, for years I have been saying that it's because Christians, and especially modern #evangelicals, stopped following the teachings of Jesus a long time ago. Sure, they pay lip service to him and pray to him, but for the most part they follow the instructions found in the writings of the "apostle" Paul. And that is a real problem, because Paul was probably just as deluded ans any guy who's ever started his own cult or sect that is loosely based on Christianity. There are many cults that use the Bible AND other writings (but mostly the "other" writings) as the basis of their religion, the only difference is that the extra writings of Paul (and possibly others who used his name) got included in Biblical canon by the early church. But that doesn't mean they are writings that Jesus would have in any way approved of. In fact, there are cases where Paul's writings directly contradict the teachings of Jesus. Here's a good video on the topic:

Why is this important? Because most of the hate you see coming from the so-called "religious right" is not a part of their religion if you leave out Paul (and also the old testament, but that's another discussion). I have said before, they seem to love conspiracy theories, and you could make a great conspiracy theory that the early church included Paul's writings in the Bible even though they knew he was a "false christ" because if you wanted to control the masses and make them subserviant to the church hierarchy, teaching only the words of Jesus simply would not do. But if you wanted to replace the Christian religion with something that was in many ways the polar opposite of what Jesus taught, then Paul was your guy. And that is as true today as it was hundreds of years ago, and it is the reason so many Christians are deluded about who God has chosen to lead them (and yes, I realize they are to some degree deluded because they want to be, because the delusion reinforces their prejudices and their hatred of those who are not like them). But when they try to stand on their religion as justification for what they believe or do, maybe it is worth asking which religion they are talking about, the one taught by Jesus or the probably totally fabricated version made up by Paul?

EDIT: Here's one more (this reminds me of some dishonest preachers):
