The Lame Duck Session is underway with two crucial items on the menu, the Respect for Marriage Act and the Electoral Count Reform Act

It was a lawsuit in the news. Maybe you were in a :see_no_evil: :hear_no_evil: :speak_no_evil: mode and lalalalalalalalaed :hear_no_evil: your way out of hearing about it… to avoid cognitive dissonance, no doubt.

Nice. Get that religion dig in every chance.

Maybe the SBC shouldn’t have spent thirty years talking about how their only political concerns were the three Gs, God, guns and gays.

I didn’t make them do that. Or make them sell their religious principles out for worldly political power in the GOP for that matter.

Cool story.

Your ploy is an old one. You people trot out this ploy any time you face opposition in this issue. I could not care less if you write an entire thread about me having some suppressed but driven curiosity and desire to engage in homosexuality. Tell me all about my Jungian shadow and my self loathing. It’s one of the very few tools you people use to shut people like me up. Do it man. See if I care.

The real interesting thing is this: I mention some laws and I mention a well known legal case. And you… YOU … created an ad hominem in response. The whole world forum is watching.

I bet it does.

Not a big issue for me, but it is amazing how they seem to always name bills that do the opposite of the title.

Ya gotta look at the IQ bell curve to see why they do it.

For reals. To take umbrage at mentioning religion in this discussion, after the religious right made and makes it an issue, is pure hypocrisy.

Except that Congress has express authority in the Constitution to write laws pertaining to the effect of public acts between the states.

That means federal jurisdiction on the subject law.

All they talked about from like 1978-2015.

Then they decided to unswervingly support the first openly atheist president in American history.

Wow. How detached from reality you clearly are with that statement. Openly atheist president?!!

Yup. And in the courts, the objection mist likely to succeed is religious.

And, conveniently enough, the bible story of Cyrus justifies their support of Trump. It’s all rather tidy.

That you have no other argument than to attack religion is interesting.

Is it a tacit admission that critprog has a religiousity to it? I wonder.

So basically let’s make a law that outlaws atV shows like Modern Family.

That’s healthy.

Your pretense is ineffective in light of the fact that it is an issue of national and international significance.

Here is Clinton declaring to the international community that it is so important to the Obama administration.

SECRETARY OF STATE CLINTON HUMAN RIGHTS DAY SPEECH – FREE AND EQUAL IN DIGNITY AND RIGHTS

The US State Department of the Obama administration cared so much that the issue is at the heart of international conflicts and the integrity of our allies in the EU.

So try again Tommy… try to defend your second ploy of saying “who cares”.

Oh… @TommyLucchese

Once again, I will repeat that in a free nation, adults should be able to choose what they do in their bedrooms. But indoctrination of children through normalization of the behavior by any person and the teaching of it in public schools should not be legal.

How is that going to protect individuals from not recognizing homosexuality?
