in reply to Large Format Projectionist • • •@Benhm3 I think that's of insufficient cynicism. I doubt he had any genuine values at any point in his life. He got into religion, not because he believed it, but because it was a way to get milk money and power is my guess.
And then he used his money and power to do what the right and mighty do.

in reply to Vee • • •this is something that I’ve started doing with the “arguments against trans people” people. I’ll have them news search “trans person arrested” and read the first few headlines. Then I’ll have them google “youth pastor arrested” and read out the first couple headlines.
It’s always arrested for existing for trans people, and always horrific sexual assaults for youth pastors. Without fail. Throw in state names for good measure, it’s always the same pattern
