I think that I understand. To translate, Pastor Doug Wilson gets very excited when he hears the salacious details of two consenting adults. Specifically, he is notably engaged when discussing same-sex couples engaging in fondling, oral stimulation, and anal sex.
Arrest Trump for the Bubba commentary then, I won't forget that Epstein history for a long time.
Doug Wilson made headlines after giving a sermon at the Pentagon as part of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's monthly Christian worship service.
Is there a slot for a Muslim worship service? How about a Hindu worship service? Is there time in the schedule for a Pagan worship service?
No doubt he'll volunteer to help identify these criminals undercover
When I was young I worked a grunt-work job with some repulsive people, people I never would have associated with otherwise. Once I was doing some grunt-work with a guy I'll call Tony. (His real name is also Tony. Fuck you, Tony.)
Tony was a legal adult. Tony had graduated from high school and had a full time job, a car, a place to live, etc. Tony was the sort of performatively super-hetero guy we used to call "macho." Always making comments about women's bodies, taking every opportunity to suggest a level of sexual experience he surely did not actually possess, etc. I was very young, I was very naive, and even I thought Tony was full of shit.
On one particular day, Tony was cheerfully and self-righteously showing how macho he was by ranting about "the f*ggots," how much he hated them, how despicable they were. As if this was just a totally normal topic of conversation among young blue-collar men-of-the-world such as ourselves.
I told Tony that I was actually in favor of encouraging as many men to "turn gay" (I never imagined that was a real thing, I was just trying to express this in a way he'd hear) as possible.
Tony's demeanor changed. His face darkened. He looked at me and said something like "What the FUCK did you just say?" He was genuinely upset.
I told Tony that if more men were gay, that could mean more unattached women in the dating pool for me. If more men were gay, it would mean more unmatched ladies out there for him.
I wouldn't say it took him a long time to work through this, exactly, but the contortions of his face made it clear there was some working-through involved. He was sort of floored. Derailed. Off-balance. He tried to recover: “Oh yeah, that would work out that way,” with a weak smile and not much conviction. It was pretty obvious that this had never occurred to him, not for one second.
I’ve wondered sometimes, in the years since, if he was closeted himself. But how could I know, really?
Closeted or not, I think he was into homophobia for the permission it gave him to hate An Other without reservation or regret. He thought of homosexual people as exotic and far-away, a phenomenon with no actual relevance to his daily life. And of course, that very attitude, that culture, that environment, made it next to impossible for him to meet any real person who would openly identify as homosexual. His hate made homosexuality exotic in his environment, and that exoticism gave him permission to indulge his hateful impulses, a vicious cycle.
Queer men are sometimes more masculine-looking than straight men, both in appearance and in interests, if I can for a second stereotype a group of people I know fairly well.
Interesting insight. I hope Tony didn't end up predictably, beating on some poor woman in a trailer park.
Mercifully, I got an opportunity to leave that job, and instead work at a public library.
As a result, I never saw Tony again.
So that's funny.
Yah, this guy has a well-used Grindr account.
Tell us about your ladybugs, buddy.
One of the funniest things I've heard was a very religious guy saying: "Gay guys I find disgusting, but lesbians ...". I couldn't help but chuckle.
By the way there was no context to this, he just started the conversation like that.
Just a reminder that if you haven't already, check out if there's a Pink Pistols, Liberal Gun Club, or Socialist Rifle Association (SRA) chapter for your area.
These front-facing organizations have been thoroughly infiltrated by bad actors, at least in my local area.

Sounds like guy in the closet. No one cares what other folks do as consenting adults that much unless they are trying to block scrutiny of something they do that they are ashamed of.
its always how it goes.
Give it time, he'll either be discovered with a rentboy in europe, or with a computer full of child pornography.
No, and this is going to be interesting, because I’m a Bible guy. If you go through the Law of Moses, you won’t find any legal prescription of lesbianism.
So no for the boys but yes for the ladies.
Just because there was no law against something (when the law applied mostly or at times only to males) doesn't mean it was considered ok or consequence-free.
he's one of those straight guys who get off to lesbian porn, perhaps....
You know that shit's on his mind 24/7. He should get down on his knees and think!
I'd wager the horniest gay nymphomaniac doesnt think about cock and gay sex as much as the average republican does.
He's getting down on his knees, but he ain't doing any thinking, just like his client requested.

I want Hegseth prosecuted for piracy & war crimes.
Pretty sure this guy also wants to bring back slavery. Of course he imagines himself to be an owner, not a slave.
People like him made me reconsider freedom of religion. I think any religion advocating for stripping other people's rights and or wanting to dominion over society first should lose any state funding and tax exemptions, and any religiously motivated act of terror or conspiracy attempt of subverting secular democracy should be also be punished with one's religious rights getting stripped in prison.
All religions should lose state funding and tax exemptions. You can still practice your religion but why are we giving them money.
That’s my interpretation of separate of Church and State.
Freedom of religion needs a firm separation if church and state.
These theocratic monsters are trying to remove both.

How is this any different than sharia laws?
You'll be surprised, where Mohammed got his inspiration from.
Jesus 👍🏼
How about you prosecute child traffickers instead
if he can't have em. No one can!
Gold news, frotting is safe! I'll be frotting with the boys to cleanse our undying souls. Amen!
Also, no mention of pedophilia!
He also believes that having sex with children is just the bee's knees!
And so fascism continues its rise... Ya'll ready, artists and intellectuals? Because you'll be next, if memory serves me right 👍
Y'all want to list acts not included
