It was a way to not deal with the issue directly, and to give members of the LGBTQ+ community an option to hide who they are and not receive punishment. But it in no way protected them. It was sold as a “compromise”, but was actually a thinly veiled way to continue to suppress the community and enact harsh penalties and convictions for anyone who didn’t follow the protocol.
lol at the 6 (at the time of writing this) trump supporters that downvoted you and are cool with trump pardoning convicted killers, his own sycophants that were convicted of federal crimes, and people that gave him bribes for his presidential pardons at the 11th hour; but not cool with pardoning people wrongfully convicted of a bigoted piece of propaganda turned law with “Don’t ask, Don’t Tell”.
Having been raised in a religious household and having escaped it later in life to become an engineer/science nerd, while being ostracized by my, incredibly, incredibly disappointing parents because they refuse to learn new things or acknowledge scientific studies that conflict with their religious views:
This answer is unequivocally, absolutely, a 100% correct take on humanity and their need for the “simplistic” and incorrect answers religion gives about the world around them.
Well. Now I’ve got another fear to add to the list.
She wasn’t successful in killing the child, so no, no pardon from Abbott. He only pardons actual convicted killers of hate crimes.

The double decker is still around, they call it something else, but you can still order it.
It didn’t happen to him though, so clearly it never happened. He also doesn’t believe in shark attacks, or the holocaust.
Hate to say it, but I agree here.
This is the price paid for not treating real guns with respect. Prop bullets or otherwise.
Yes, but he’s acting as a rallying flag to drive the alt-right together, normalizing their behavior and bringing it out into the open instead of dog whistling.
Without him, they have no lightning rod to travel towards as a coordinated group.
I wouldn’t count Russian Bots as people, but yeah, there’s a lot of noise here trying to make sure trump wins.
And the cycle repeats, again and again, until there’s nobody left
I disagree that religion has nothing to do with it. Religion is the vehicle used for these people to molest children, and religion often protects them when they’re found out.
Religious institutions do an absurdly terrible job of governing themselves, or background checks, etc.
They’re the reason so much of this is allowed to keep happening.
Let’s fuck, Adobe.
Gotta let the shareholders know value is only paused. More value will be created once we finish abolishing the remaining rights of EU Citizen’s privacy.
Shareholders are always worried about their value. Gotta pause growth. Can’t stop growth. Growth is infinite. The universe is infinite, and so is the capitalism machine.
But it removes the ability to liquidate the company to pay off the personal debts as part of the restructuring of the bankruptcy. This is kinda exactly what Alex Jones wanted to happen. Now it’s a race.
I’m going to be so happy to see his death caused by a likely drug overdose. Not because I take joy in his death, but we’ll finally be rid of having to hear about his stupidity and drama every day.
The literal definition of conservatives fits the Pharisees to a T.
You understand they killed him because they were conservatives and didn’t want his “new progressive” ideas from spreading further to the people, correct?
You’re not even trying here. Or you’re really, really clueless as to what conservatism is in politics throughout history.
TL;DR; Jesus was a progressive. The people who killed him were conservatives. If Jesus were alive today he’d 100% be a progressive/liberal. His ideas fit neatly within the progressive and liberal ideals, even 2,000 years later. And just like 2,000 years ago, conservatives today would claim he’s the anti-christ and try and murder him to kill his “progressive” ideas.
We don’t even have to create hypotheticals. We see this with people who actually represent Jesus Christ’s teachings from the book (love everyone equally, don’t judge, don’t horde money, render unto ceasar, help the poor, give up your money to help, don’t build giant churches and temples, don’t be racist, don’t do war, don’t do genocide, etc. etc.), get attacked and death threats from modern day conservatives. Just like the conservatives from B.C.
Nothing has changed. Because that’s what being a conservative means.
You understand that right? It’s literally right there in the name.
