At the risk of sounding like an edgy reddit atheist...
God isn't real, and most of those teens don't believe in him as there is no evidence such a thing exists.
You know what I love in my government? Religion /s
The weirdest part is if an uprising ever happen in the US due to their decades of terrible policy making; they'll blame the gays and Muslims for it all. So yes, their technically right...
Again with the fear mongering over people that mean absolutely no harm to you as a human and are not ruining the country at all, maybe just to your career for being a prick
Pretty sure Jesus would say "love thy LGBTQIA+ neighbor" if he were present, but no, gotta crusade against the minorities because of some Old Testament law that was fulfilled by Jesus's sacrifice in the New Testament anyways
Not to mention the perpetual insinuation of America = Ancient Israel 2.0 which is a load of crap, this is an agnostic nation and always was

This "reasoning" is quite similar to what patriarch Kirill of Moskov declared a year ago, with the difference that it referred to the depraved "West" (not US specifically). He was harshly criticized by western media and even ridiculed for being expression of a retrograde and superstitious approach to religion.
Ironically, now the most democratic country of the world, the homeland of freedom itself, is having its political (not even religious) leaders telling basically the same thing.
How quickly the tide turns.
Most democratic country is Norway.
USA is at position 26.

I'm having difficulty with the bit where you call the USA the "homeland of freedom itself". I know Americans like to believe they live in the best country in the world but the evidence to the country is pretty substantial.
Personally I think that a free country probably doesn't have a police force that's killed more of its own citizens than a hostile nation state could ever hope to achieve.

Did anyone read the email? It’s basically out of 1940. Also,
Johnson may not realize that the reason why more youth identified as non-heterosexual in the CDC’s 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System survey was because it changed its questions on sexual identity. The most recent YRBSS survey included the two following new options for students to describe their sexual identities: “I am not sure about my sexual identity (questioning),” or, “I describe my sexual identity in some other way.”
Lmao. “NO! You have to be SURE about it! Have straight sex NOW!”

In mysterious ways, right?
Mike longed to see depraved gay teens being punished, but he can't watch those videos without his son knowing.
Can he smite the hate-filled GOP first?
Why would I repent to a god so insecure it can’t handle mortal mockery?
Someone found dad's yiff stash and really pissed him off
Well it would be his own son who found it because they are browser activity accountability buddies

Of course the first people they'll come for is trans people and other people will allow it
We need some sort of sanity test before allowing people to take office in the U.S.
