    At the risk of sounding like an edgy reddit atheist…

    God isn’t real, and most of those teens don’t believe in him as there is no evidence such a thing exists.

    Considering LGBTQ+ is a protected group in the USA, surely the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s comments are tantamount to criminal harassment if not hate motivated harassment.

    If all Americans went out and voted in their congressional elections, you guys wouldn’t be in this mess. I worry that the US will fall into fascism not because of Christian nationalists, but because of excessive political apathy.

      If all Americans went out and voted in their congressional elections

      Ever hear of gerrymandering?

      While you’re at it, try counting the polling places per capita in blue neighborhoods versus red ones.

      When you’re done with that, check how many polling places per capita colleges have, how many college students have to travel several states on a Tuesday in order to vote.

      Then check how many voters are struck from the rolls using flimsy excuses.

      Lastly, check how difficult it is for the working poor to get enough time off work, childcare etc.

      If all Americans COULD vote, everything would be a lot better, but victim blaming without doing a goddamn thing about voting rights like neoliberals are doing isn’t helping.

    God should’ve made them not LGBTQ+ then Mike. Seems like Johnson’s argument is with God. Good luck with her.

    Seriously, who can possibly be so invested in the personal lives and relationships of others?

    I genuinely don’t understand how you can waste your time with that amount of hate.

    It’s extremism, plain and simple. Live the life you want and let others live theirs.

    Be kind. Support one another despite any differences we may have. Seriously, WTF?

    Meanwhile, God is good with the US setting yet another firearm mass murder yearly record because for sure God is a second amendment advocate.
