I mean we can keep adding to this list to an obnoxious degree. The joke was sufficient as is. It’s doubtful they omitted them because they don’t think they’re bad people lol
Persecution by religious extremists is one of the few places “slippery slope” arguments make sense.
If they say their religious text being against LGBTQ issues means they have to be against it too…
Well, there’s a whole bunch of really fucked up shit in all the major religious texts. Especially the Abrhamic ones.
So they’re either lying, or there’s a lot more shit they’re just waiting to force on everyone else.
You could be straight as an arrow, but you probably don’t want your parents deciding who you’ll marry based on how many goats they’ll get.
Or them taking it all the way back to Abraham himself and saying if a father hears a voice saying “kill your family” you’re supposed to fucking listen to it. Never forget that’s the starting point of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
A schizophrenic who killed his brother and stopped from killing a son at the last possible moment.
See it’s not really a slippery slope argument though. It’s kind of like the pro life crowd. Saying if they get one thing that it will lead to others isn’t a slippery slope, it’s that we know the ultimate goal. Zero abortion for any reason. There is no assumption of it cascading, it’s understanding that it’s a stepping stone because their intentions are very clear. This is the same with anti-LGBT folks. They just want LGBT people to not exist. Whether that means they want to be able to pretend they don’t exist or other more heinous intentions such as “conversion” or even death, we know the ultimate goal. Zero rights, zero representation, and zero reminder they exist.
TL;DR: The laws these groups want to pass are the first or second of many. It’s a march towards a clear end goal. We don’t need to argue that’s it’s a slippery slope because they’ve clearly laid out the theoretical path they want to take.
If you know anywhere else to post the fundraiser, please feel free. Lana is usually so depressed these days she can’t really manage anything with it, and I am running into a wall.
I’ve seen this before and it’s definitely an interesting outcome of Iran’s social system. Does anyone know if this applies to both amab/afab individuals? I’ve never seen that called out in these articles. It would be surprising if afab trans men were given the same rights as cis men, given the huge disparity between the sexes in Islamic regimes.
