Regardless what misguided California lawmakers think about Christianity, please consider this.

Patriots need to elect a new patriot Congress in the 2020 elections that will not only promise to support PDJT’s vision for MAGA, now KAG, but will also promise to the following.

The new patriot Congress needs to exercise its 14th Amendment power to make penal laws that discourage state actors from abridging constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected freedom of religious expression where anti-Christian states like California are concerned.

From the 14th Amendment:

The Supreme Court had put it this way about Congress’s 14th Amendment power to strengthen constitutionally enumerated protections.

“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA! Now KAG!

The brutal criminalization of Christianity is the goal of Democrats.

They are laying the groundwork.

The suicide rates don’t get any better in societies where there isn’t a “stigma”.

Over the past 30 years I have at least seen 3 CDC studies that state homosexual lives are shortened on the average by 20 years.

(Aside: And no I don’t normally make a habit of reading CDC research literature! I just came across them and found them interesting because they were so diametrically opposed to popular notions!)

I believe those studies focused only on males. I don’t remember any mortality statistics for females.

Remove the word “homosexual” and place something else in the sentence. The ask yourself this question. If there was “Something” that reduced the age of mortality by 20 years would not the government have an interest in discouraging it?

Think of cigarettes, alcohol, drug use? All behaviors, all discouraged by the government to one degree or another. Does the government hate those people by discouraging that behavior? Maybe the government is actually showing more “love” by encouraging those people to change their behavior and maybe live those extra years?

Back to the issue of homosexual mortality statistics on women (lesbians). Has anyone seen those?

The studies that I have seen say homosexuals are over 15 times as likely than non homosexuals to attempt and/or commit suicide.

About 40% of transsexuals attempt/commit suicide.

Male homosexuals more likely to commit suicide. Lesbians more likely to attempt suicide.

High rates of suicide are a characteristic of mental illness.
No external factors need be invoked.

These perverts are mentally ill. They kill themselves because their are mentally ill...and apparently without hope they will ever be able to be normal. Oh, well. That’s freedom.

I read the story of a college boy that wanted to be a girl. He had full acceptance by his family, friend, school, therapists and even his church (he met with the pastor often for counseling.)

He ended up killing himself. He wrote that he realized that he would never be the perfect woman he wanted to be. (I was telling my son this story and he said “No woman is either!”)

The boy’s mom said how he was always the perfectionist in everything he did.

"I would send copies of that legislation to every Mosque in California and surrounding states. I might even add a cover letter indicating it is specifically about Islamic intolerance."

That is a great idea.

These people have mental disorders that manifest themselves in their behaviors...

Bingo! And when is the last time anyone has made this statement in any kind of debate or discussion? NEVER...it is the fact that must not be mentioned.

“About 40% of transsexuals attempt/commit suicide.”

There are some studies that number is a bit overstated. The trans cult uses it to sway the kids - and also to pressure the parents and doctors and society. “Would you rather have a child of the opposite sex - or a dead child?”

And most of the recent transgenders have pre-existing mental health issues. And most of the ones in the last ten years are teenage girls. (Up about 4,500 PERCENT in 10 years!) It is a social contagion like anorexia and cutting. And no wonder the person tries to kill themselves after they realize sex change procedures didn’t solve the actual problems.

I pray that the madness will soon go the way of the other surgery that was to magically make life better for some people - the lobotomy. Another popular procedure that was quickly picked up by the medical community with no real long-term studies on the outcomes.

I almost can’t count the number of comments of “bring back the coliseum” from rabid leftists. What they are expressing, they’ll eventually push to legislate.

Why wouldn’t they?

AFAIK, Chaz hasn't had bottom surgery.

I don't think it has been very successful in *any* trans-man.

Heck, look at all of the biological men that want to have functioning penises when they have erectile dysfunction.

That's a difficult enough surgical procedure, but it can work.

I don't see how you can get much in the way of results when you start with NO penis aka a vagina.

I think we should encourage all our enemies to fight each other every chance we get. :)
