I didn't see a thread dedicated to the Orlando massacre, so I suppose this is as good a place as any to share this. This was recently shared by a fb friend with the caption "time to check our privilege"
Seems like the image affixed to the column is pretty fitting.8 Ways Allies Can Show Up For the Queer Community After Orlando
[. . .]
2. Don’t Vote Republican.
At least not this year, if you feel so strongly about it. Just keep in mind that you’re not allowed to be sad about the Pulse massacre when you’ve been actively promoting people who have been behind loose gun laws, trans panic defenses about bathrooms, and at least 200 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills this year alone.
If you still feel your presumed tax break is more important that saving lives, then you need to admit that to yourself and do some serious reflection on the impact of your actions.
[. . .]
4. Make Us Something To Eat.
Make no mistake: This type of situation stimulates grief and mourning, and grief and mourning are horrible things to go through.
One of the first things to go is one’s self-care, especially when it comes to eating. Make sure we’re eating. Don’t lecture us about the type or quantity of food. Just make sure we’re eating.
[. . .]
5. Don’t Talk Over Us.
This is not your time. This is our time.
Yes, you’re sad. Yes, you’re scared. Yes, you’re feeling things. But I’m sorry, this isn’t about you. The queers are talking right now.
We’re the ones that just lost our queer siblings. We’re the ones that can’t give blood or visit our dying partners in the hospital because of archaic laws. We’re the ones watching the deceased be prematurely outed because they were at a queer club, as calls are going to families from morgues and hospitals.
And yes, we’re the ones that are conveniently being used for political gain right now by our enemies in order to smother a fellow vulnerable community.
And amongst all that, we’re expected to sit down, swallow our grief, and listen to how YOU feel watching us suffer?
No. You have to wait your turn. Your feelings are valid and we appreciate your sadness and anger, but you need to talk about your feelings with fellow allies for right now.

Good hell. The internet gives a platform to unhinged people and they're winning converts. The tragedy could be used to bury the hatchet on some of the differences and find some new common ground, but some people thrive off of the hostility.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostI didn't see a thread dedicated to the Orlando massacre, so I suppose this is as good a place as any to share this.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes.

Love how we Mormons believe that marriage and family are the most important thing in the world. But a gay person has no need to marry or adopt -- definitely not a civil right.Comment

Hopefully you also watched the video. I only got through 3 mins of it before I got interrupted but I'm looking forward to finishing it.Originally posted by CardiacCoug View Post

"landmine-laced". The spirit of Neil Maxwell lives on...Originally posted by Moliere View Post
Gotta say, Miki was a bitch in that class.
Not to pile on too much, since it is in a similar vein of CES videos. But does anyone have those discussions, anywhere? Is there a small-group classroom in some college where a professor leads such vague discussions about civil rights? Is there a bishop anywhere that freely quotes scripture at length and is supremely prepared for this type of discussion?
I was interested in finding out where the new line of 'basic rights' is. It seems like the church has settled on job and housing discrimination. Which is kind of funny, since the Utah legislature compromise still allows for small-time landlords to discriminate. But it was progress."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Weirdest Pretty in Pink remake ever.Originally posted by Moliere View Post
I wonder how many rounds of review that script took before being approved. They really straddled the line there several times. The "just like you can't force someone not to be gay" seemed to be a big step towards "being born gay" while still allowing for plenty of wiggle room, if necessary.
I have to admit, I was Team Miki. But I do agree with Samantha, I think it's time that we finally stop making doctors go around aborting babies against their will. That seems to be the crux of the religious liberty issue.
But I didn't once hear the term same sex attraction, so progress.

Finally finished the video. It's not too bad and hopefully results in more Mormons critically thinking about the issue...and thus changing their opinion.
I do at times wonder if people in the church just assume that everyone else in the church is against gay marriage. I know people are shocked when they find out that I'm for marriage equality, but very few know because I don't proselyte my position.

Nah, she's still OK. The carefully carved out exceptions she cited were forcing Christians to perform abortions and therapists to counsel gays. Apparently she doesn't have a problem forcing clerks to marry gays.Originally posted by Dwight Schr-ute View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.
