Why do strict religious governments in the Middle East resemble Republican and Conservative governments in the west so much?
Because religious conservatism looks the same, regardless of where it happens
Because they’re both religious extremists
I will never understand the mind of religious nuts. Stealing, killing, cheating, crimes that are explicitly written in stone as commandments: "ah that's ok it's human nature". Kissing someone you like: "noooooooooo"
So they're fine with cheating with someone's wife, but without kissing?
Their mind is: whatever is done to extend religion, YES!
If you don't say it, they don't exist.
So banning the word will eliminate the behavior?
That’s some epic magnitude magical thinking there, for damn sure.
It’s like when some places in the US stopped testing for COVID - no tests = no positive results = no COVID. Flawless logic.
They don't want to eliminate anything. That's just an easy win in the hearts of fanatics and one more layer of oppression. Like if there are lack of them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Iraq What's more there to add?
Although, eradicating homosexuality as a possible thing from a public speech has weight. Mixing them with whatever-you-can-think-of too.
If someone less brainwashed could've had some compassion for a 'misguided', 'ill-informed' person, now they'd not even know if they were charged for being gay (or a sin of sodomy, yup) when this state hangs them. In the media, they would be not unlike a serial child rapist. And gay people just don't exist anymore, yeah, just deviants.
Also, their 'honor' thingie. Their families and
quiet supporters'enablers' would be even more publicly embarassed and looked down than before, if not treated as complicit in their 'crime'. It may increase the lasting damage on their lives.Imagine being a parent of a hanged 'sexual deviant' in Iraq. You aren't even a failure, you created a monster. And you are, probs, a monster yourself. Lets add some mob justice to spice things up!
I have a pretty shakey understanding of their current national mentality, but I think it is bigger and more dangerous than a kek on them, silly undoers of the Big Gay in one stroke of a pen.
Ron DeSantis: I choose to believe
The only allowed expression from now on is "fabulous".
They can't seem to think about anything else than sex and homosexuality. Must be exhausting.
In other news, Ron DeSantis seen taking notes while learning of this development.
Ronald, not Ron. No nicknames in Florida until he gets a signed form from his mom permitting him to use Ron.
How closeted can you be... They kiss each other in the cheek, sometimes lips, but using a word is too much?
