Conservatives are freaking out about I don’t care, they’ve proven they are idiots and will believe anything
We will soon have churches for animals that also can operate without taxes
Imagine having a world view based on such fragile bullshit that two animals fucking can shatter it…
Yeah conservatives are brain damaged.
Just see how many of them react to teaching the fundamentals of biology (evolution).
“They’re turning the freaking frogs gay!”
Kind of amazing I didn’t think of that when I read this
I couldn’t help but to think it, he lives rent free in my head.
for a positive counterbalance, the “swans can be gay” meme
Honestly, I’m a wonk, listening to an episode of KF right now, and that quote is so foreign to me because there’s so many other clips I’ve heard more often. Does that make me a hipster if “freaking frogs gay” is too mainstream?
Does that make me a hipster if “freaking frogs gay” is too mainstream?
Yes, but the good kind. The knowledgeable kind.
I’m deeply sad that Alex jones got his hands on that one. There’s a potentially huge effect that birth control has on fish reproduction, but I suspect people dismiss it because Jones said libs were turning frogs gay
Learned? No, that is the wrong word.
They are in violent and vehement denial about facts that are empirically documented and readily observable with ones own eyes.
I mean, that’s the entire conservative/right-wing M.O.
Conservatives are freaking out because they learned that some animals are gay
Are we seriously doomed to have this stupid ass homophobia shoved down our throats by conservative bigots every 5-10 years because they keep getting mad about the same thing all over again? I’ve been listening to this shit for over 20 years now.
I think we’re doomed to have it shoved down our throats way more frequently than that with their recent freak outs.
Also, he mentions 20 years, I have seen it going on much longer than 20 years, sadly. If they seize power via a Ronald McDonald presidency, they will make things far, far worse. I remember things being very hostile toward gays (trans, etc., didn’t really get a mention other than for comedy) at the height of the fear over AIDS. I think the boot lifted a bit from their neck during the 70s, a whole lot of people seemed to view the 80s as their comeuppance for daring to be who they are…
And anyone that votes for Republicans, and yet is not a fully white, xtian, far-right cishet male is absolutely kidding themselves. They’ll have you up against the wall eventually no matter how much Ronald McDonald regalia you might have purchased.
Just know that these asshats take extreme pride in their hate. They will subject people to it until the day they die. Christianity is an eternal well of hate and ignorance. And they want to make sure no one is ever happy, the miserable fucks!
Given their history, I’m thinking yes. And they have more plans than just poutrages on their alternative reality cinematic universe, they want to force their worldview of xtian Sharia Law on everyone.
There’s literally worms in their brains.
They already knew about the frogs years ago.
I was told that all these things happen because Eve ate the forbidden fruit and doomed the world to fall into sin. I guess that is why they hate women so much.
Also, I am glad to hear about another interesting documentary. I’m going to add this to my watch list.
“If animals can be gay, I could be gay, but I am not gay! 😱” - Republican caught sucking dick in an alley
Republican caught sucking dick in an alley
That made me snort :D
That’s not snot!!!
Ironically, you can enjoy sucking dick without being gay. Because sexuality is a spectrum.
If the Republicans would stop being so defensive, they might find a lot to like about the sexuality spectrum.
Pretty much. The intersection of gender and sexuality spectrum means romantic attraction, sexual attraction, and sexual interests can mix and match in a lot of ways.
Uuuuuhhhhhhh none of those words sounds like “male and female he created them” buddy, straight to Hell with ye
“I’m not gay for sucking dick; this dick is gay for getting sucked.”
This is logic.
Oh, this sh*tfest is hilarious.
We’ve known about gay penguins since 1912, and regressives are just now cottoning on?
The conservative education system makes a special effort to misinform/occlude information about certain natural facts of life for generations of people. So every graduation cycle or two, you’ve got a fresh faced cohort of brainwashed kids who have to find out about the gay penguins from 1912 for the first time, ten years after they’ve cemented their bias against homosexuality on “rationalist” grounds.
We’ve been playing similar games with evolution since the fucking Stokes Monkey Trial. Identical debunked arguments showed up in The Panda’s Thumb over a century after they were ostensibly put to bed.
You’ll periodically see this show up in regards to phrenology and eugenics, as well. All sorts of inane long-dismissed claims about how physiognomy clues amateur race-sleuths in to someone’s criminal intent or intellectual fitness or breeding capacity.
Recycling pseudoscience and vaguely sourced gossip is also very popular in anti-abortion circles, giving us all sorts of zombie lies about pagan blood sacrifice of fetuses and elaborate plots to cull the white race.
The dogmatism of western bigotry is baked into conservative ideology. You can find people dredging up the same old tired lies from the 19th century in arguments made before the US Congress and the Supreme Court to this very day.
You love to see it
Learning and incorporating new information aren’t early their strong suits.
I think conservatives freak out any time they learn basically anything.
Or alternatively, pretend it didn’t happen
Bold of you to assume they learn. They just knee-jerk get angry at whatever fox “news” tells them they should be angry about.
Some of them are capable of learning - they’re called 'ex conservatives '.
The rarest of unicorns
It’s pretty common where I live, especially for people who grow up in conservative families. You start out assuming the trusted adults in your life are right about everything (or at least I did), but once you’re exposed to the world outside your bubble, you gradually (or not) change your mind on a lot of things.
I get that that’s different from, say, an adult with fully formed beliefs one day changing their mind, and that probably is pretty rare. Still, out of all the badass lefties I know, most of them did have at least a few years of cringy hardcore conservatism. 🤷
And by conservatives you mean two random twitter accounts that, at least in the article screens, do not mention their political view at all, one random youtube commenter with no mention of political views, and one conservative sports website which is kind of a weird crossover.
Let’s keep it real here, that article is trying suuuuper hard to be edgy with nothing much to cling to. Conservatives stopped talking about gay people in the 90’s.
I’m not talking specifically about this issue or what was said in this article.
What issue or what article?
It was a general statement. Not sure why that’s difficult to discern.
“The Dangerous Consequences of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” Bill on LGBTQ+ Youth in Florida” - Yup, not a word since the 90s. https://www.law.georgetown.edu/gender-journal/online/volume-xxiii-online/the-dangerous-consequences-of-floridas-dont-say-gay-bill-on-lgbtq-youth-in-florida/
You had me until the last sentence.
You may now be my favorite parody account on Lemmy.
I guess prepare to be let down?
I don’t think you could let me down if you tried, friend.
Peruse my comments. Huge let down. But thanks for your support.
The fuck are you smoking? Thomas talked about overturning Obergefell in his Roe ruling. Fuck off.
Sorry dude. I read the article and see the only cites of conservatives losing it are a couple social media comments from random noname people with no clear political view.
I don’t follow foreign politics so I have no clue what you’re trying to say, but in my country the older thinkers give zero fucks about people being gay.
Either way, do you think this article sincerely found conservatives freaking out about gay animals because I do not see that in this article. It does the world no favours manifesting polarization without substance.
<fucks off>
<fucks off>
Yeah, if only you would. But you won’t.
It’s simpler just to block people like you.
Thomas is a Supreme Court justice and his legal ruling in a recent case advocated for banning gay marriage. Perhaps the situation is different elsewhere but in the US there is still a lot of prejudice against queer people among conservatives.
That nuts, thanks for the context.
According to Wikipedia the overwhelming majority of Americans support gay marriage. It actually references the 90’s as the turning point which seems to support my original comment.
What the overwhelming majority of Americans believe doesn’t matter, because the US is not a direct democracy; it is a representative republic. The representatives are elected, and are massively corrupt. The corruption comes in many different forms, like gerrymandering, first past the post voting leading to a two party system, private monetary donations to political campaigns leading to representatives doing their donors’ bidding, revolving door politics, the owner class having ownership over the means of production leading to massive consolidation of wealth which then ties back into private money in politics and the revolving door, etc.
When looking at polling data, the American people are pretty solidly social democrats, but US policy does not reflect that at all; instead, it reflects the will of the corporations and wealthy donors, except for very rare situations where there is a form of direct democracy, like direct ballot initiatives, for example. When looking at bills that are signed into law outside of direct ballot initiatives, 99.99% of the time, it reflects the interests of the wealthy or fascists (since the wealthy prefers fascism over any semblence of socialism, since it keeps them in power).
You: I don’t understand American politics around queer people but I’m gonna tell you that you have nothing to worry about. Fucking idiot.
Yeah I think it is more of a loud minority but it is a strongly held belief for a not insignificant portion of the population, and they hold a lot of political power.
The majority of Americans arent conservative, so what the majority believe doesnt reflect what a minority of the population believe. As for the population of conservatives its about thirty percent, they just have undue influence due to fuckery and outdated governmental systems.
They literally send gay children to abusive camps to “pray the gay away”. You cannot say they don’t give a shit about gay people, they’re just harder to attack so they’re focusing on trans people now.
I don’t follow foreign politics so I have no clue
Should have stopped there.
A true servative learns everything they will need to know for the duration of their life by the age of 13.
They die basically the same kinds of people they were born as.
Lazy reporting. Three comments on X is not a freak out. What happened to journalism? When did it become copying and pasting comments from social media?
It’s lgbtqnation, one of the most crappy outlets when it comes to unnecessarily charged language when it comes to pushing an agenda.
I’m willing to bet the majority of it’s supporters shit on foxnew viewers for being easily manipulated.
LGBTQNation has an agenda? That’s ABSURD! It’s OBVIOUSLY a very balanced outlet as you can CLEARLY see in it’s name! Anyways I’m going to go watch Fox NEWS.
Some poor excuse for journalism is better than anything fox news ever has to say. The time where they had any credibility at all has long since passed. At least those Twitter posts are real…
Wait until they Google “bilateral gynandromorphism”.
Bold of you to assume that they can spell either to a close enough approximation that the Google suggestion is correct…
