Department of Public Works employee Eric Batman claims that having to see a Progress Pride flag flying outside the department’s Alhambra, California, headquarters during the month of June effectively forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin” in conflict with his sincerely held Christian religious beliefs, according to a lawsuit filed in March by anti-LGBTQ+ evangelical nonprofit the Liberty Counsel.
Nowhere in the Bible does it mention the Pride flag.
There is pride and there is Pride
The first has Christ on their side
The latter knows not battle won
And thus cast out brightest sun
B happy b love but know divinity
Server client holy internet trinity
World b illusion the Buddha sed
The wolf inside is the wolfs fed
Entanglement is all u r made of
Make sure knot not lust but luv
The first has Christ on their side
Just so their’s no misunderstanding by the illiterate and ignorant, I’m saying Jesus stands with us LGBTQ+ people. Therein, with no cultural structure to enforce positive behavior, the sexually immoral people (rapists, molesters, public masturbators, peeping Toms, etc) don’t get the same feedback to save themselves from themselves.
Oh wow i really thought this was an onion article…
It’s hard out there for a wimp
Fascist sues because he’s reminded daily that he could be a nice and caring person if he wanted to
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you… The United States of America
How much do you want to bet that this guy has been on the internet calling people snowflakes unironically?
Would be fun to see this lawsuit succeeding.
The Satanic Temple would have a field day suing everything christian by this precedent.
A satanist could even argue it causes them physical harm to be subjected to “holy” imagery against their will, if the scriptures are to be believed.
So can all his coworkers sue them because they have to look at this bigoted piece of shit every day?
This is literally what qualifies as “shoving it down our throats” when conservatives say that LGBT+ folks can live how they want but not shove it down everybody’s throats. That’s my personal experience with conservative relatives and locals, at least.
Being reminded that certain “other” people exist without being hunted down is all it takes to set them off.
So while the lawsuit is a stupid waste of resources, the basic dickhead at the center of it is probably genuinely motivated to pursue it.
Has he considered reading the Bible and following the teachings of Jesus Christ? It might help him understand what Christianity is supposed to be about.
Do you really think they are reading their book?
Also which one? They’ll pick the one that most fits what they want.
If they are reading anything but the new testament then it is just a history lesson.
Which translation, which interpretation? It’s hard to say the New Testament is a single work with just one commonly understood message.
Most self-described Christians are Devil worshipers. If your religion preaches hate, you’re not worshiping God, you’re worshiping Satan.
But Jesus it too woke and gay for Reighwing Christians
Sounds like a right snowflake
Sounds like he is very, VERY gay.
That has to be it, right?
If seeing a piece of cloth is so triggering, then maybe that’s an indicator of a much more deep-rooted problem.
The “Christian men” who protest gay rights the loudest are usually the ones who wind up in the headlines when they get caught soliciting male prostitutes at rest areas.
Fucking snowflakes
I see confederate flags round here all the time and I don’t feel forced to celebrate the confederacy… idiot.
It’s important to see both sides of any argument. The winning side, and the losing side.
Well … you don’t see Nazi flags in Germany today but you can see them in USA. “Freedom to be idiot” is a great thing.
this guy does not deserve his last name
He’s the opposite of Batman
Manbat?
Oppressing people for money sounds a lot like Batman. I guess he’s not beating up the people he steals from yet.
