It Never Ends.

So now Biden’s necessary and popular child care plan is on the ropes because conservative Democrats might oppose it. Their reason is that the plan contains a provision saying that you can’t have the taxpayers’ money if you discriminate against LGBT people.

These “Christians” with their so-called “faith” that compels them to kick me to the curb and then demand that I pay them to do it — I am weary to the bone of them and my anger toward them. And maybe even more infuriating — because with religious bigots there’s at least a sort of coherence, an evil but predictable logic to their mission — is gay conservatives who’ve been, ever since the Supreme Court ruled that gays are okay as long as they ape heterosexual norms, have been telling us that the gay liberation movement is over, we should all pack up and move on, we won.

This kind of moralistic, legalistic “religion,” and governmental, societal, cultural deference to it, is so deeply engrained in the idea of America that even the people who are directly persecuted can’t see how insidious and corrosive it is. Andrew Sullivan, one of the generation of gay men the Reagan government and its collaborators decimated by religion-motivated neglect and mistreatment, even he will look you in the face and tell you this bigotry is justified in the name of “religious freedom.” I want to fucking vomit.

It. Is. Not. Over. It will never be over. These people are black mold, you think you’ve cleaned it up but it will return and return and return and if you turn your back it will kill you.
