And this is exactly the lesson that politicians are teaching kids by restricting teachers from mentioning LGBTQ topics in class.

If it's so bad that it's against the law for teachers to even mention it, then it must be just horribly bad.

I'm stunned, frankly, that this movement started and succeeded in places in the 2020s. I never would have imagined we would still be struggling to have our basic, inherent morality respected.

But we are.

For me, the whole choice thing isn't very important. It's absolutely true that I didn't have a choice about being gay. I am who I am, I'm wired the way I'm wired.

But even if I had made a choice, my choice would have been nobody else's business. Human beings should be free to make their own choices, to love, to experience pleasure, to hold on to joy.

If some religious person has a problem with that, then all I can say is that something about their religion is incredibly fucked up.

Christianity in practice is usually about judging people and holding oneself to be morally superior to people who have different or no religious beliefs.

I think it's really important to point out how distractive and evil that worldview is.

Christians need to keep their noses out of other people's private lives. You need to stop obsessing about sex.

They need to stop being such judgmental pieces of shit. Period.
