Oh really, well how generous of you. As you didn't reply to any of the points I made in my posts - I will respond in kind,
Maybe because your points aren't worth my time? Or I may be cooking up a long response for you?
There are places in the world where someone with your views would be executed, so don't expect everyone to think some of the perverse things you believe in are acceptable to all - they aren't, get over it.
So in other words your telling me that the belief that
this statement right here
"we oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values."
that this is blatantly homophobic since it allows for someone to beat up a gay person and receive no criminal penalties if their religion says to do it.
That I would be executed for being against homophobic people... Alright. Go on.
You especially seem to hate Republicans and anyone that doesn't agree with deviant behavior
There's a line between deviant behavior, and straight up harming others and making it legal to do so because it's political viable, you should be aware of this oh great one. Maybe homophobia isn't and shouldn't accepted, nor should it be legalized in a way that protects someone from criminal penalties since their religion said to do so. Which the republican party in Texas, wants to do.

Again I'll give you a ability prove me wrong. All you got to do is
"we oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values."
give an alternative, logical, explanation to what this sentence means.

You seem to be obsessed with gay stuff and trans stuff. Nobody gives a hoot if you want to prance around in a dress and call yourself whatever you want. As for your interpretation of laws, well since I assume you're not a lawyer or in any position to make laws, you should stop whining and leave that stuff to people that spent years of their lives studying the law.
Your posts are unhinged and you have a lot of hate in you, have you tried seeking therapy from a professional.

Why the FUCK would the republican party of texas write that as one of the things they WANT TO DO. Clearly they must care to go write that as part of their fucking platform targeting trans and gay people maliciously.
I only have to care about it because your party FORCES me to counteract IT'S BULLSHIT in it's attempts to hurt my peers and everyone it's seeking to hurt. I would GLADLY fuck off and stop talking about it, but I literately can't because their actions continue to be malicious towards those groups of people.
As for your interpretation of laws, well since I assume you're not a lawyer or in any position to make laws, you should stop whining and leave that stuff to people that spent years of their lives studying the law.
that's not laws, those are written agendas for the republican party. So your argument here is null.

So in other words your telling me to love a party that is actively looking to, and hurting gay and trans people?
No of course I'm going to fucking hate them for having so much hate for my existences. I am Bisexual, I have two trans partners.
Are you seriously telling me to go say "Go republican party" as they actively try to ban gay marriage again, and continue to demonize my partners?
No, that would be fucking stupid.

Republican party, clearly cares about it. We already went through this. Keep saying that no one does, but that party does care, care to fucking make it as agonizing as it can be as a gay or trans person.

Yep, I'm all for paragraph 317 as well. Marriage should only be for men and women, as it has been for thousands of years and still is in most parts of the world. The gays can have a civil partnership or whatever, after all it's just a bit of paper isn't it.

I don't understand the carbon tax scam and how everyone falls into it. Clearly if there is any damage being done to the planet, it is mostly done by the ventures of the industrialists with their asphalt, concrete, factories, waste, automobiles, and wasteful lifestyle/culture that they've peddled to the world over the past century. And now the industrialists with their little Davos buddy clubs, get together and blame all the carbon on humans, animals, and their farts, then decide that they must tax the people for their destruction of the environment.

I would think that the solution would have been to put a chain on the industrialists a long time ago and continue riding horses, which happen to be a self driven, self reproducing, biodegradable, fertilizer producing, vehicle that runs off plant life, but no people are stupid and would rather have their wasteful toys than attempt to live in accord with nature.

Most religions in the world belive marriage is only between a man and a woman - are you discriminating against religous people? Some would call you a bigot with that attitude.
Your religion only applies to you, your religion does not apply to me. Your rights end where mine start, and mine ends where your starts. So no, I'm not discriminating against your religion. I'm discrimanating against your attempt to use you religion over my rights.

Your gay/trans views only apply to you, they don't apply to me
And you don't have the right to regulate marriage so it only applies to your view. Your being exclusionary, that's being a bigot. The actual definition:
a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.
You already admitted you despise Repubilcans and those who's religious views don't accept your views on the gays or trans being married
No, I'm fine with religious people, I've been blessed by the hand by a christrian as non christian. I've gone through buddhism, Chrisanity and Wiccan.
I don't care if someone loves their god, or their god tells them to x,y,z. I care when it begins to hurt peers and unfairly target them. Which is exactly what the republican party is doing.

They are using religion as the excuse to hurt gay and trans people. To give them no civil or criminal recourse. I don't hate them because they identify as the republican party.
I hate them for the very actions they do to my peers and neighbors. While I don't have a religion, I do thoroughly believe to take care of your neighbors and peers. The republican party completely violates that. Because at any moment, my neighbor can be trans, they can be gay, or drag, and that party is actively doing every legal change they can to worsen their life.

Religion is fine until it starts hurting others.
You started swearing and getting all uppity when your views were challenged. Basically you are an unhinged bigot and also a hypocrite.
No, I'm neither. Because unlike the republican party, I don't hate them because I have extreme vitrol in my heart or fear of others. I hate them because they actively hurt others. My hatred of them comes from a source of love for people, as I watch their rights, their life violated by a political party, and makes me angry. My rage comes from the need to protect people, and watching someone/party actively kick them down over and over and over again, forcefully triggering that response of needing to protect.
The republican party's hatred comes from fear, and refusing to understand those people.

I get unhinged because I actually believe people should be equal, I don't believe you should be discriminated against for your sex, gender, or whatever the fuck. But it ends if you try hurting another or worsen their lives.

The republican party, doesn't believe that, and acting that belief. They seek to harm.

Same sex marriage doesn't hurt you. Removing it hurts my peers and I. It is a exclusionary act to ban it, not a inclusive one. Removal of it hurts my peers and I. Removal of hormone therapy, only seeks to hurt my peers. It doesn't effect you, but you want to remove it anyways.

Gay marriage is a form of cultural appropriation, in fact all the said core values of the so called Woke movement are culturally appropriated.

marriage is a cultural universal. Almost every civilization had some form of it. So no, it's not.

There's no woke movement. That is you being told they are. There was a hatred for left handed people. It was so strong, that left handed people faded out of existence due to the culture non stop forcing and turning them away. Only until they were accepted into society, did suddenly many show up, until it plateaued. Because more and more of them got to become comfortable with who they were.

How is what we are seeing here any different? That party has associated Gay, LGBTQ people as woke. And they want you to be against them.
How is this no different than Christians battering the hands of left handed people because "it invokes the devil"
How is erasing their existance, through making it harder for them to talk about who they are, any different from that.

1. Marriage was a spiritual rite practiced by cultures around the world, it's key is in the religious systems which are mirroring natural design. The Male and the Female unite into one flesh, both figuratively through the union of opposites, the two made one, etc. and literally through the process of reproduction.

2. What was that about left handed people again? Was their some sort of world wide slaughter of people born left handed that I've never heard about? And when did they invoke devils, and how come I as a right handed person not invoke devils? I am confused.

I feel like the Texas GOP threw all the possible things they could ever think of at the wall, and somehow all of it stuck with their userbase. Somehow. Texas gonna Texas. This is why we're one of these pathetic go to answers for classic dumb American state, right next to like, Alabama.

I know Texas education sucks, but straight-up abolishing the DoE sounds like actual insanity--I know they're going to defend it because they want to have the oh-so-totally accurate textbooks that teach such fundamental Texan topics like "slavery wasn't that bad guys", and "Texas woulda totally won the civil war and we were in the right anyway, and the Union should feel bad for winning", and "we'd rather kill ourselves than teach kids sex-ed and how to understand their bodies".

One I don't think was in your post was that the Texas GOP does not believe in requiring a safety inspection for cars--so, it would allow cars that are barely functional or at risk onto the road, which seems like an incredible threat to all drivers. I can't see any reason why they wouldn't want to require cars pass a mechanic's test.

One interesting one that was actually useful was getting rid of the Texas toll road fees, once the debt of building the toll road is completely repaid through said tolls. Houston is near unnavigable without the toll roads here, and it'd be fantastic to not have to choke up a few dollars every single day just getting around tow easily. I guess a broken clock is right twice a day.
