Aren Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) https://twitter.com/sameerakhan/status/1666221058624741378?s=46&t=78umILWrWi0Uoyyg-utNEw A Democratic member of a Maryland city council blasted Muslim children as on the side of "White supremacists" after they spoke out against sexuality discussions and materials in classrooms during a heated school board meeting Tuesday evening. "This issue has unfortunately does put… some Muslim families on the same side of an issue as White supremacists and outright bigots," said Democrat Kristin Mink of Montgomery County Council for District 5. "I would not put you in the same category as those folks, although, you know, it's complicated because they're falling on the same side of this particular issue." Mink made the remark after Muslim children from the district spoke out against their parents' inability to opt them out of lessons they deemed violated their faith. She argued Muslim families do not have the religious right to opt their children out of LGBTQ books, similar to parents' inability to opt their children out of studying evolution. https://news.yahoo.com/maryland-democrat-blasts-muslim-children-110413102.html Edited June 7, 2023 by Aren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LustSpell Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Not my state 💀 Go the hell away. Sex education is a basic necessity for preventing teenage pregnancy, STDs and overall health.

MotoPapi Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) Maryland is a solid blue state this will be a wake up call for when being woke goes too far or needs some boundaries. Extreme right or extreme left are not good. I’ve lived all my life in this state and I’ve always felt accepted as a queer person. This is so unnecessary. and Montgomery county at that… their public schools are top 5 in the country. Full of diversity.

Harrier Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 obviously there are nuances and caveats, but homophobia doesn't really have a color. all kinds of straight people around the world hate us at least to some degree. all we can do is stick together, galvanize the support we do have, and try to weather these waves of cultural backlash that just seem inevitable at this point 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is far gone from its original definition. So it’s been gone too far. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishtail Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 What does all this "White Supremacy" non-sense got to do with Muslims being homophobic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aren Posted June 7, 2023 Author Share Posted June 7, 2023 1 minute ago, Fishtail said: What does all this "White Supremacy" non-sense got to do with Muslims being homophobic? Before 9/11, Arabs/Muslims were seen as white in America and mostly voted conservative. But after that, Republicans became increasingly Islamophobic and Muslims felt otherized, so they started voting for Democrats even tho they didn’t agree with their political stances on social issues. But for the past few years, Republicans have started courting Muslims again since they realized that radical evangelicals and Muslims basically share the same values. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosque Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) To be fair, white religious Americans are absolutely at the forefront of the anti LGBT crusade in the USA. But the situation looks pretty dire elsewhere. Most Muslims in the West aren’t this violently homophobic, but many violently homophobic people in Europe are Muslims (compared to their share of the population). it’s not a coincidence that a large percentage of LGBT people from Muslim families are extremely anti-Islam due to their firsthand experiences. But white liberals love to dismiss those voices when it is convenient to their ideology. Edited June 7, 2023 by Dephira 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s quite a few white liberals who acknowledge that religion is responsible for a HUGE amount of persecution and war throughout the centuries.
