How much do you want to bet that this guy has been on the internet calling people snowflakes unironically?
Pride also is notably not a religious belief. Its a belief in fundamental human rights and equality under the law.
If my religion was that "all government is evil" then there's no amount of government that would not offend my sensibilities. Notably a lot if "sovereign citizens" believe exactly this and happen to be religious christians.
This should be treated with even more ridicule than sovereign citizen beliefs because this is being offended by a belief specifically opposed to the equality of the law.
Tell me a story about the US without telling me it's a story about the US.
Why do so many right-wing Christians sound like the villain from a Criminal Minds episode?
Like...this MFer thinks he has a right to make other people not exist for his comfort. Fucking psycho when you dig into it.
Too bad thats not how secular nations work. I could just make up a random religion or worship the spaghetti monster and then sue if I saw something that I considered sin. Most religions say its sin to worship something other than them so I could sue christian churches because from my view they were committing sin
So they can take down the flag but that means no Easter decorations or Christmas decorations and definitely canceling the Christmas holiday because I don't want to be forced to celebrate your beliefs you weak twat.
I wish I could sue his church for having to share a world with Eric Batman
christianity has become religion of hate. Either that or people like these shouldn't even be considered christians anymore.
"Liberty Counsel" isn't a very good name for an organization that seeks to restrict the ability for individuals to freely express themselves.
This is literally what qualifies as "shoving it down our throats" when conservatives say that LGBT+ folks can live how they want but not shove it down everybody's throats. That's my personal experience with conservative relatives and locals, at least.
Being reminded that certain "other" people exist without being hunted down is all it takes to set them off.
So while the lawsuit is a stupid waste of resources, the basic dickhead at the center of it is probably genuinely motivated to pursue it.
I'm never going to understand people, of any religion or political affiliation, who honestly think they have some kind of right to be free from offense.
Grow the fuck up. Your neighbors' enjoyment of some dick doesn't affect you in any meaningful way.
It does affect them because they are always thinking about their neighbour's dick 24/7.
Oh if he wins this is going to be amazing. Personally I don't like having to walk past my bosses tacky personalised number plate, can I sue for that?
Sounds like a right snowflake
I want to sue Eric Batman's parents, or whoever the fuck decided on that dogshit name.
I assume this is an effort to create another suit that will get all the way to SCOTUS so that white Christian nationalists get yet another carve-out of everyone else's civil liberties.
He should adhere to the words of his supposed god, specifically “if your eye offends you, pluck it out.” Don’t like seeing the pride flag? Don’t fucking look at it.
Maybe just try and turn your cheek when driving by it you little baby snowflake.
The article is hilarious to me because they just use his last name and I'm just visualizing Batman working at a DPW place for decades and being offended by Pride flags.
I will bet all of you $100 each that this man also has a Grindr account.
It's hard out there for a wimp
lmao cry about it idiot
pride is unstoppable 💜💛🤍🩷🩵🤎🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Meanwhile my church:
(ALT: The words "The Episcopal Church" in white above a variation of a shield graphic that has a blue field in the upper left with a series of white crosses forming an X shape; pink, blue, brown, black diagonal stripes on the right; the classic Pride rainbow colors of purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red forming the remaining sections with a white cross holding them all together)
EDIT: I tried to use a spoiler tag/format but I apparently suck at that. Sorry. Don't sue me!
