Yes I'm noticing the use of emergency powers to do something similar to Marxism.The issue, of course, is far more fundamental than anything to do with transgenderism or pronoun usage. The destruction of the family structure is a fundemantal tenet of Marxism. My wife spent the first 37 years of her life in the USSR, and undermining the family structure was a core policy. The Indiana case is simply an example of what is a far wider and deeper problem. What is jaw-dropping and highly suggestive of demonic infuence is how quickly so many seemingly sane people have started to see this sort of thing as "not only OK, but really making a lot of sense." WHAT???

Well society can do what it wishes, but if an entity is born with a dangly thing in between his legs, I will call Him, "he" "him" for that is what God will call him.
Yes, it cuts across many issues. There is some sort of collective madness that is difficult to explain in non-supernatural (demonic) terms. Even people my own age whom I know and like now hold views so completely evil, and so different from what ANYONE would have believed 50 years ago, that it's disorienting. I don't even know what to say to them.It's global delusion. It was never more apparent than with the coronavirus psychosis.
The Pope clearly has some problems living the truth and expounding it to the church. But this goes beyond the fact that these were Catholic parents. I have seen on the news laws proposing legal punishments for not using what they consider are proper pronouns of the LGBTQ community.Dev-- noted in other coverage of this story is the fact that these were Catholic parents.
Why does that matter? The Courts are emboldened by the Pope's stance on transgender issues, as well as all things LGBTQ+++ and all the nonsense that goes with it. These parents have no support from their Church.
This Pope is more likely to bless a gay union and host a transgender luncheon, or funeral party in a Cathedral than step up and say it's wrong for parents to lose their own kids over this issue. He provides the ultimate cover, and gender-affirming care for all the deviants.

In the USSR, parents were seriously fearful of what their children might hear them say IN THEIR SLEEP and report to the authorities.The Pope clearly has some problems living the truth and expounding it to the church.

That is terrible. I wonder how the child feels about that.
Is this actually what happened? I would like to see court documents on this. Conservative media has a long history of dispensing false information especially on this topic
I'm sure hate groups will have a something new coming out shortly.In the USSR, parents were seriously fearful of what their children might hear them say IN THEIR SLEEP and report to the authorities.
What a weird slippery slope. How am I supposed to keep abreast of what those in the ever-changing and ever-expanding LGBTQ++++ (or whatever it's called these days) community want to be called today or tomorrow?
Being a member of a minority is not a whim.Considering that transgenderism and all its variants is largely an absurd fad, with self-identies fluctuating on a weekly if not daily basis, how can failing to abide by someone's current whims possibly be a basis for legal liability?
Reminds me of how segregation was defended by saying there were "colored" business just doesn't the street or "they have their own water fountain so they don't need to use the one designated for good people"This sort of thing opens the door to the same sort of abuse we see when a gay couple (is "gay" still an OK word in the LGBTQ community?), with a reporter in tow, targets a Christian bakery even though there are five other bakeries in the vicinity,
You mean a cake that baker would make for anyone else.and the community wrings its hands over the ghastly discrimination the loving couple suffered at the hands of the Christian beast who wouldn't make them a special cake.
I see this as a deep spiritual darkness overcoming the world. One more reason I think we are close to the end of the age.Yes, it cuts across many issues.

It was probably the child that turned them in I think.That is terrible. I wonder how the child feels about that.
Oh, yes, so do I. I often say to my wife, "If I weren't a Christian AT ALL, what has taken place over the past 25 years (or less) is so bizarre and inexplicable, so close to what the Bible predicts for the Last Days, that I think I'd be taking a serious look at Christianity ON THIS BASIS ALONE."I see this as a deep spiritual darkness overcoming the world.

Much love!
No, being a genuine LGBTQ++++ person, on the basis of genetics, biology or even aberrant psychology, is not a whim. This is, however, a MINISCULE portion of the LGBTQ++++ community. Those for whom it's a passing fad, little different than being a "Jesus freak" was a passing fad in my college days (quaint as this may now seem), is indeed a whim.I'm sure hate groups will have a something new coming out shortly.
Being a member of a minority is not a whim.
The analogy between racism and a concern about the forced celebration of LGBTQ+++ proclivities and practices is badly flawed. Moreover, most Christians engaged in creative activities, be it cake-baking, art, photography, writing or anything else, would be unwilling to use their talents in the depiction of offensive heterosexual activities as well.Reminds me of how segregation was defended by saying there were "colored" business just doesn't the street or "they have their own water fountain so they don't need to use the one designated for good people"

That's a lot like why I became Christian. It was 1981, and I had just finished reading two books on end times prophecy. Even then, the world scene was so much like what the Bible described, I was convinced!Oh, yes, so do I. I often say to my wife, "If I weren't a Christian AT ALL, what has taken place over the past 25 years (or less) is so bizarre and inexplicable, so close to what the Bible predicts for the Last Days, that I think I'd be taking a serious look at Christianity ON THIS BASIS ALONE."
Really. That's even worse.It was probably the child that turned them in I think.
I remember hearing about Nazi's that their children would turn the parents in. Nothing new.Really. That's even worse.
