politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Its the same shit as satanists
how is The Satanic Temple demanding equal rights the same as bigoted harassment and bullying by the Heritage Foundation?
False equivalence
again... explain how The Satanic Temple demanding equal rights is the same as bigoted harassment and bullying by the Heritage Foundation
yeah, because straight men aren't oppressed, whereas the non-christians that TST advocate for are.
TST doesn't, but The Heritage Foundation sure does...

not that it matters, unless you're claiming that only an entity with the "power" of liberal companies that you hate could be considered bigoted or a bully...
Moving the goalposts
What rights don't ex-gay people get?
Answer the question
You still refuse to explain how they don’t already have that right
Explain.
They used to not have the right to marry in the US, and many people advocate for that to return. In some places on this planet, they don't get the right to live.
There is no one even advocating to take rights away from straight people, let alone beheading them.
And what rights are those?
"Oppression totem pole?" Wouldn't you be more comfortable commenting on Truth or Stormfront than Lemmy?
What a weird take. What's the punch hierarchy?
Anything that lets straight, cis, white men cry about others getting rights as if it cost them anything other than their perceived superiority.
