I’m Depressed

The right wing fanatics are using the virus as a distraction while everyone is focused on COVID-19 they haven’t been idle.

In Poland the conservatives and the Catholic church have continued their attacks on us.

Poland is considering a bill that would throw teachers in jail for teaching sex education. The bill links pedophilia and homosexuality.

The Parliament of Poland is set to vote on the “Stop Pedophilia bill” today. It does not address sex with minors, but instead focuses on sex education in schools.
[…]
The bill’s explanation of why sex education is bad brings up homosexuality multiple times, including a statement that says sex ed teachers “groom and familiarize children with homosexuality.”
Out magazine wrote…
The bills come against a backdrop of increasing hostility and attacks against LGBTQ+ and women’s rights in the former Soviet satellite. Both the “Stop Pedophilia” and “Stop Abortion” bills were the result of petitions signed by 250,000 Polish citizens. A third of the country has declared itself as “LGBTQ-Free” and a Catholic Archbishop claimed his country was afflicted by a “rainbow plague.” In February a Polish judge refused to stop a homophobic campaign by the ultra-conservative NGO Fundacja Pro in which the group drove vans around Poland with banners and loudspeakers blaring “Paedophilia is 20 times more common in homosexuals. They want to teach your children. Stop them!”
The bastion of pedophiles, the Catholic Church is call us pedophiles how sick! The bishops and cardinals have no problem with lies about us as they hide their pedophiles in their flock.



Meanwhile back here in the states a recent poll finds us losing support from the people.
Fewer Americans oppose Religious-Based Refusal of Service To Gay People: Poll

(WB) A new study on LGBT issues made public Tuesday has found a modest — but noticeable and sustained — drop over time in opposition to business owners being allowed to refuse services to LGBT people.

The study, conducted by the non-profit research organization PRRI, found 56 percent majority of Americans oppose allowing a small business owner in their state to refuse to provide products or services to LGBT people, if doing so violates the owner’s religious beliefs. Meanwhile, 37 percent of Americans support such denials of service to LGBT people.

Although a majority of Americans have opposed religious-based refusal of services for some time, the strength of that opposition — based on previous iterations of the survey — has fluctuated in the last five years.
[…]
Support for non-discrimination protections includes majorities of both political parties, religious groups, and nearly every major demographic group, the study found.
I would love to see a poll that also asks if they are in favor of religious discrimination against blacks and other religions. I would be that people would be aghast is people were allowed to discrimination on religions groups but find it okay to discriminate us.
