The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment gives you the right to worship or not as you choose. The government can't penalize you because of your religious beliefs.
Sharia, Islamic law or Sharia law is a religious law forming part of the Islamic tradition. It is derived from the religious precepts of Islam, particularly the Quran and the Hadith As we witness yet again the brutal and bloody consequences of religious intolerance in the form of ISIS, we have a majority of Republicans pining for a Christian America. Proponents of converting the United States into a theocracy do not see the terrible parallel between religious excess in the Middle East and here at home, but they would not because blindness to reason is the inevitable consequence of religious zealotry. “The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”John Adams
The Trump administration is rejecting requests from U.S. embassies to fly the rainbow pride flag on embassy flagpoles during June, LGBTQ Pride Month, three American diplomats told NBC News.
The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay community against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Christopher Street Liberation Day on June 28, 1970, marked the first anniversary of the Stonewall riots with an assembly on Christopher Street and the first LGBT Pride march in U.S. history, covering the 51 blocks to Central Park.
Lots and lots of this and that, mixed with Jesus/Mohammad/Elohim bigotry, insecurity, fear of being emasculated, too feminized, and always for the children, but homophobia is and always has been around. Parents who will give their last breath for the fetus will turn their backs on their LGBT children. Politicians will establish harsh and cruel and mainly Unconstitutional dictates against abortion and female reproduction but give one shit on assisting or aiding in the health/welfare/education and pursuit of happiness of the six-week fetus which seems to be their only priority. I am a homosexual, you are a heterosexual, neither one of us decided in utero which we would be. Ain’t life just that full of mysteries. June is Pride month, why…because in June the LGBT community decades ago had enough of second- or third-class identity…and ever since have been the easy target for the bully so afraid to be real, in his or her own life, and so ready to play God…that common sense, and sensibility is foreign to their thinking. I WILL NEVER AGAIN remain silent or afraid or feel LESS THAN…those days died when my self-esteem found life! Gay Pride Month is here, I am Queer, and the picture of my husband Joe and I is the best way to celebrate our free and equal status as humans!
