I wonder if she knows that it’s already illegal?

Or is she just salty that priests are the ones being arrested?

[–] Kellamity@sh.itjust.works 39 points 2 months ago

I think she does - the bill is about materials being sent home with kids from schools that include sodomy or grooming or the incredibly vague 'lgbt agenda'

It's designed so that instead of banning books individually, they can just sue for anything they don't like.

The headline makes it sound ridiculous - and in a way it is, of course - but it's potentially dangerous. I don't know how much sway her organisation has, if it's big or niche. Hopefully zero

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Except that by "groom kids with sodomy," she means "teach them that queer people exist and that they're normal people."

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, there’s that.

They like changing definitions. Though, if we’re gonna talk about groomers, she’s more likely to be one than drag or LGBTQ, and it ain’t even close.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Definitely. You don't hear stories about drag queens committing sexual assault against children.

You hear a lot of stories of religious figures doing it though...

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

No she's just an idiot with an agenda. Her propaganda software is just stuck in a recursion loop.

[–] hudson@sh.itjust.works 42 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What’s going on in her house…?

Every accusation is a confession…

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Butt sex I imagine. She kinda looks like a woman who is into some backdoor play.

Not judging, just observing. If she wants me to stop saying that all she has to do is stop thrusting her Christianity on the rest of us.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To be fair, buttsex is like, the greatest once you get the hang of it.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I am sure Janet Porter would agree.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago

I want a law that says that "men of the cloth" should be sentenced identically to "regular people" and that any attempts at shuffling those types to other churches should be abetting a criminal, again being pressed to the full extent of the law.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Sodomy ? They are not having sex with the kids.

[–] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

She’s gotten teachers confused with priests.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 2 months ago

But the CrisCo leader said so!

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

I think the feds should get involved any time anyone grooms children for any sexual act. But I think her and I firmly disagree on where each counts

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Would it be morally wrong for me to make a donation to the Trevor Foundation in her name and send her notification of that fact?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 2 months ago

Once you've had the idea, it'd be morally wrong not to.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Conservatives need to come up with a better tactic than banning things that are already illegal.

[–] AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It is illegal, you're right, but they want to destroy the legal definitions of many things so that they can write new ones. So suddenly, teaching kids about how their bodies work becomes "grooming". Being anything other than a straight white Christian male makes you a "sex offender". Reading anything other than the Bible to kids is "indoctrination", and so on.

They've spent many years and billions of dollars studying the power of language and ideas. They have framing the issues from their perspective down to an art form. If you control what words mean, you control debate and democracy.

How do we address the alphabet mafia? You know, the LGBTQRSTD. ...

STD? Maybe she thinks Gomorrah is a venereal disease?

[–] cheeseburger@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 months ago (4 children)

She looks like a wax statue.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don’t normally support making fun of people for how they look but… there is something about that picture

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Even the eyes look like those fake plastic ones

[–] GasMeterCrasher@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She looks like a member of Rockafire Explosion, the animatronic band.

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

She looks like she's visiting Mars for two weeks

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 months ago

She looks like she's wearing a human suit.

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Even worse is that she looks like a terribly done knock off wax statue

Probably is part wax with the amount of caked on makeup they're using

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Wow really, stooping that low to follow and harass me on lemmy

Why is this so important to you ramble81

[–] Brutticus@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

The incessant grooming of our children will never stop until we lock up every single pastor and shutter every church in this country.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I read this as repressed fundie likes anal.
