It will be interesting to see how this goes, but I expect the teacher will get ready to make a lawsuit against the school somehow.




Edit: about bloomin' time!!!!
I heard this one was getting pay with the leave, as well. People like this shouldn't be teaching in schools. Such a bad influence on the kids. It's awful.

The current ‘Jesus Revolution’ craze that is sweeping across America is not revival, but is paving the way for the inclusion and acceptance of LGBTQIA+ in the Church.


A few things to note regarding this "performance"...
1. The video begins with playing secular music inside of a house of worship.
2. The video continues with this monstrosity sashaying down the aisle towards the pulpit, where "it" takes center stage, upstaging any clergy.
3. It constantly shows off its undergarments and whats bulging underneath, both the front and the back throughout its performance. Would a REAL female be allowed to do so in a church? We know the answer, so why is "it" allowed to do so?
4. This is a short video which does not include the actual "performance" and thats fine. Because all it does is prance around, showing off its sin and lip syncing to an actual female singer. At points in its performance, it can be seen literally jumping up and down as if throwing a tantrum and pointing to itself.
5. That looks like a really old church, how long did it take for the lgbt-holdthamayo crowd to infiltrate and seize control of it?
6. I am no longer a Christian, but I would have left this place IMMEDIATELY if I had witnessed it. And if I had unwittingly brought any kids, I honestly probably would have started swinging on people on my way out the door. This place is no longer a legitimate church in my opinion and I would hold the same opinion if I ever see a mosque engage in this sort of spectacle. However, if it were in a mosque, I admit that I would probably start swinging on fools even sooner.

Yes it would be hard to know unless you see the street evangelists in action yourself.
Whether or not you agree with street preachers, you Americans should see the water glass as half-full and be thankful that Christians are still free to speak publicly in your country. It is rare to see street preaching in Australia.

I'm so glad they have the freedom to do that. I'm not sure it's effective at making converts, yet would never want to see it outlawed.

Sometimes it seems like overstimulation with the competition for attention. There's the preacher, there's the musicians, the vendors, all the people...so many things to look at and so many voices clamoring for at least a few seconds of people's time. I try to stay on the edge of it all.

Anyway, so glad for freedom of speech, even though that has started to disintegrate rapidly in this country.

Transgender pastor claims bias, sues Lutheran denomination
The Rev. Megan Rohrer, who was elected as the first openly transgender bishop of one of the largest Christian denominations in the country in May 2021, has filed a lawsuit alleging that she he was forced out from his post after enduring several months of discrimination and harassment. The denomination, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, declined comment, according to an email from spokesperson Candice Buchbinder.​
Rohrer, of San Francisco, resigned in June as bishop of the ELCA's Sierra Pacific Synod amid allegations of racism after he fired the pastor of a predominantly Latino, immigrant congregation in Stanton, California, on the Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, for which the community had planned elaborate festivities.​
In his lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Rohrer accuses the denomination of discriminating against him for being transgender and deliberately misgendering him and creating a “hostile work environment.” He is seeking monetary damages.​
Rohrer, who now works as a senior communications specialist with a Black nondenominational church in San Francisco, said Thursday that he always felt the support of Lutherans in the pews, but not from the higher echelons of the national church. On his first day as bishop, during a video call, Rohrer said he was misgendered and ridiculed for featuring drag queens at his ordination.​
Rohrer alleges in the lawsuit that he was scapegoated and “publicly shamed as a racist."​
“All my life, I've been an ally for racial justice and to people from marginalized groups,” he said, adding that he chose to remain silent after his removal from office last year so the predominantly white denomination could recognize its shortcomings and pass racial justice reforms. The intent of his lawsuit is not to minimize or undermine any other marginalized group, Rohrer said.​
He also accuses the denomination of retaliating against him for blowing the whistle on labor violations in the denomination when he reported to synod officials that they were categorizing employees as independent contractors to avoid paying them a salary, which is a violation of federal and California labor laws.​
"Similarly, when Rohrer separately revealed the transgender harassment he had been suffering since beginning his job, the Church terminated him, and falsely accused him of ‘weaponizing’ his own identity as a trans person to ‘avoid being held accountable,’" the lawsuit states.​
In August, the Rev. Elizabeth A. Eaton, the denomination's presiding bishop, issued a public apology at the 2022 Churchwide Assembly in Ohio, to members of the Iglesia Luterana Santa Maria Peregrina, describing the events that transpired as “a sharp assault on your dignity.” After the pastor’s firing, the congregation lost the denomination’s financial backing, and was forced to vacate their building and worship in the parking lot.​
Rohrer resigned in June and the next day became the target of a church disciplinary process.​
“I was pushed out of the church for following the directives of superiors,” he said. “And cast as a racist publicly.”​
He hopes the lawsuit will force the church to follow its own policies to treat LGBTQ people fairly and with dignity within the church. Rohrer said he has never wanted to pit two marginalized groups against one another.​
“The church is big enough for everyone,” he said, adding that it is important to acknowledge the “tragic history of racism and discrimination” in the church.​
The lawsuit states that in addition to enduring “nearly-daily hate mail” including death threats as a result of the denomination's conduct, Rohrer, because of his firing, cannot work as a bishop of an synod or even as a pastor in the denomination.​

Well stop being a pervert in front of kids dude :rolleyes:

Memphis drag queen fears Tennessee drag ban bill would empower strangers to call the cops on her for how she dresses
Bella DuBalle, a Memphis-based drag queen, is speaking out against a Tennessee bill that would outlaw drag if it becomes law.​
The text of the drag ban bill says "adult cabaret performances" cannot be performed "on public property or in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult." The bill identifies "male and female impersonators" — drag kings and drag queens — as adult cabaret performers.​
In an interview with Insider, DuBalle called the bill "terrifying" and said she's personally afraid for her own safety. The bill specifies that a second offense would be considered a Class E felony, which carries a jail sentence of up to six years. "I could go to prison for six years for appearing in a public pride parade," DuBalle said.​
The proposed law has already received a majority vote from the state's Senate and House. A modified version of the bill needs one final approval in the Senate this week before it heads to Governor Bill Lee's office. Lee told reporters on Monday that he expects to sign it into law.​
Tennessee's public drag ban proposal is one of the latest anti-LGBTQ bills making their way through legislatures across the country. Drag in particular has become an avatar for right-wing attacks on LGBTQ rights. More than a dozen anti-drag bills were introduced in statehouses just this year. Outside of drag, DuBalle identifies as nonbinary and said she worries the way she dresses could run her afoul of the law if it's passed.​
"I'm scared if I'm wearing gender-nonconforming clothing in Kroger and somebody has their kids and they clutch 'em tight and call the cops, I could get arrested just for presenting the way I present in my daily life," she said.​
DuBalle said the bill could make life hard for trans, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary individuals. Supporters of the bill have argued that it's written to protect children, a characterization DuBalle disagreed with. "There has never once been a child who has been sexually assaulted or harmed at a drag show or a pride performance. If there had been, it would be a poster image for their campaign, we would see it everywhere," she said. "If you want to contrast it with the absolute piles and piles of records of sexual abuse and misconduct in our churches, but we don't try and ban people from taking their kids to church," she continued.
DuBalle said she has noticed a vibe shift among her performer friends in Tennessee. She said their focus is now less on creating a festive and happy environment and more on educating audiences about the political history of drag. She said she's noticed that many of them have begun to include a "somber" statement in their performance to demonstrate how the bill is affecting them.​
The proposed legislation, she said, is an attempt to erase these performers. "We can't ignore it and it's why I speak out in every single show now. It's why we've gotten so loud because if we don't fight for ourselves, we're afraid no one else will," she said.​
Leaving Tennessee is not an option for DuBalle. The state has been her home for 43 years, and she's put down roots there, she said. DuBalle said she also wants to stay to make sure queer kids in Tennessee feel safe there. The bill very much seems like an effort to oust LGBTQ people from the state and discourage them from moving in, she said.​
"I grew up queer in Tennessee and I barely survived it," she said. "I feel that it is necessary for me to stay and fight to change the culture here for future queer kids that are going to be born and raised and can't run away or don't have the ability to leave."​
The bill is part of a growing movement of anti-LGBTQ legislation in the United States. Utah recently passed a law banning gender-affirming care for trans youth. At least 21 other states are considering similar bills this year. One 17-year-old affected by the Utah ban told Insider he's planning to uproot his life and move to Portland. Insider also spoke with the mom of a 13-year-old trans child who said a South Dakota law that bans certain healthcare for trans youth has forced her to find and commute to doctors across state lines. Recently, Iowa Republicans proposed a bill in which school officials and faculty members would be required to get permission from parents before calling students a nickname that does not "correspond to the biological sex" listed on their birth certificate.​

Well most people didn't like it, but there were also many who said that what we were doing inspired them and their church to be a witness. One person would preach and there were allot of people who were drawn in and protested, but most of the protests turned into conversations which led to seed sowing. The holy spirit will draw people and convict them.

I stopped asking people if they wanted a gospel tract as a means to witness, because most decline. One on one conversations with ordinary people don't go anywhere unless the spirit has drawn them. It's basically up to God and who he draws with the spirit.

Christians should not be personally threatening her, but sadly it appears to take a lot more than written complaints to make the church change its mind. IMO all church attendees just should have walked out of the church and not come back until she was removed from the position.

Conservatives warned from the beginning that letting women be pastors would lead to a downward slide in churches. People made fun of that, but yet again they were proved right in the end. We would never have had to deal with LGBT+ religious leaders if people had just said "if you don't agree, start your OWN group.... " and continued saying NO until the pro-women pastors groups went away.

This was trending on Twitter. At first I thought it was just another "this company did bad things in the past thing" but well....
Earlier today on Twitter I saw lots of responses calling for women to publicise all the companies who are doing similar campaigns so we can all boycott them on principle. "Go woke, go broke".
If even ultra-woke CNN did a story on it, it must be getting noticed.


New York CNN
Calls to boycott Hershey are spreading on Twitter in response to the chocolate company’s International Women’s Day Canadian campaign, which includes a trans woman.
It’s the latest example of a brand generating a strong but mixed reaction to a promotional campaign that touches on cultural or societal issues.
