    Conservatives spent at least two decades saying that queer acceptance is a slippery slope would lead to the normalization of incest, then bestiality, then pedophila, in that order. And then it turns out that being conservative was the thing that led to pedophila all along. So I’m left feeling like every accusation is a confession, and that homophobia is their way of covering their tracks.

    The woman who accused then-Fox News host Pete Hegseth of sexual assault in 2017 said that while she did not have a complete recollection of the night in question, she “remembered saying ‘no’ a lot” and alleged that he prevented her from leaving his hotel room, according to a police report from the Monterey, Calif., police department.

    The student newspaper he ran in college suggested that you can’t rape someone who is unconscious.

    Furthermore, the leadership’s will to indoctrinate is demonstrated by such fiascoes as the aforementioned “Reflections on Diversity” and also “Sex on a Saturday Night.” The latter, a bemusing yet mandatory orientation program, revolved entirely around whether an instance of sexual intercourse constituted “rape.” The actual instance portrayed in the skit was in fact not a clear case of rape – at least not in my home state. (In short, though intercourse was not consented to, there was no duress because the girl drank herself into unconsciousness. Both criteria must be satisfied for rape. Unfortunately, the panelists never cited any legal definition of rape.) Yet the panel – all females in the session I attended – claimed that rape it was. Regardless of technicalities, this esoteric incident was the sole focus of the presentation. The panel ignored the mundane yet profound moral issues surrounding sexuality with which the student is confronted on a daily basis. The administration does the student body a great moral disservice when it implements a program covering the logistics of the one-night-stand, in a very permissive manner, while ignoring the metaphysics.

    He’s been married three times and is a serial adulterer.

    “Pete said he no longer believed in God and family values,” a source with knowledge of the call told Vanity Fair. “He claimed he no longer wanted to seek the limelight. He said, and this quote is as clear as day, ‘I’m a f***** up individual.’”

    I don’t think he’s a secretly gay or bi man. I think he’s the type that’s more worried that men will treat him the way that he thinks women deserve to be treated.

      As long as you clasp your hands in prayer and ask Sky Daddy for forgiveness (which he will grant just because you believe in him) you can do anything. No contrition, no atonement, only profligacy and crimes against Humanity.

        If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

        Trump and his followers are so unbiblical that they seem to exist as a mockery of Christianity.

      Not (just) “idiot”, but evil. The “advantage,” besides populist wank, is creating a new law that is enforced extremely selectively when you want to prosecute people for other, unconstitutional reasons. E.g. “We didn’t infringe on their free speech, they were imprisoned for engaging in gay sex.”

        The thing is, they’ve done this before, several states still have “sodomy laws” to this day. It’s fucking stupid.

    The hottest gay men are the “straight” ones. That’s the forbidden. They don’t want gays to seem straight and that’s why they gay wash so much flamboyant gay stuff for LGBT marketing profits. The divide is on purpose, and it’s not for the good of humanity.

    Getting real sick of all the fucking comments claiming that only closeted people are capable of being homophobic. It’s bizarre how this absurdly homophobic take is so common. Stop blaming gay people for homophobia please. You straight people are indeed capable of being homophobic, as evidenced by this victim-blaming “joke”.

      Nobody is saying being homophobic means you’re definitely closeted, but it’s an open secret that a lot of republicans are.

        Lots of people are. Actually, I can link you to at least 3 people who are saying that homophobia is a thing only closeted gay people do, and at least 6 more implying it.

      if they make everyone they don’t like a criminal, then they can legally enslave them. not that they care about what the law says anyway, but it will appear more legitimate
