Transgender Crusade Hits Funeral Homes

People burying their loved ones will not want to deal with freaks.

[Paladin2]

Sounds more like Jihad to me.

[donna]

Do you want them handling your loved ones?

[miss marmelstein]

This is difficult enough not to have to deal with these issues. I’m still reeling from the funeral director at my mom’s wake who kissed me on the cheek! I had only met him a week before and he was no friend of mine. Bad taste and American funerals go back to Evelyn Waugh, I guess.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I have nothing to add because it’ll just be a snarky comment, but...other than that, I love your posts. Thanks.

[Rurudyne]

Sounds more like people in a Romans 1:18-32 condition.

[Morgana]

Kissed you on the cheek? Yea, that is too much. Maybe he was trying to show sympathy and is clueless or maybe he's just a pervert who knows. You know people who work in funeral parlors always are a little strange. I guess it's the line of work, don't know.

Positions with public relations aspects are different from hiring some person to mop the floors.

It’s sad that (assuming the person cannot be utterly insulated from public relations contact) someone has to be so selfish as to not recognize this. One could be more accommodating to the floor mopper.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And now that you’ve condemned them, then what?

[Vendome]

People in mourning don’t want to attend a costume party.

The funeral home won:

If this trend keeps up, maybe the secular screamers might not even be able to make Christians bake the cakes any more. And that’s “Staggering.”

Well as they say, each push has a push back. Pervs did not know how to leave well enough alone.

[SkyDancer]

The GAYSTAPO at it again.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Looks like the religious aspect of the funeral home’s business was honored.

And this really makes sense. If a funeral home wanted to advertise itself as rah rah secular, we give you a grand sendoff to nowhere, then it would have a harder time making this kind of objection stick.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Yes — a positive sign that the court took this into account.

[miss marmelstein]

It happened. I think he was trying to show sympathy. I’m always reluctant to get into it when men overstep their boundaries. Which has caused problems for me in the past. Yes, I think people must be a little strange to get into this line of business. Unfortunately, they do amazing work - taking it out of the hands of grieved families - and tying up the paper work and burial arrangements in neat little bundles.

[Rurudyne]

Frankly, your post was a rather lazy response.

Observing what seems to be people’s condition that they have brought on themselves is not me condemning them.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And yet, “religion” shouldn’t presume to be standing on its own in this world. It’s about God and the ministry of God and about the everlasting.

It may not happen this year or even this century, but sooner or later the whole world will be united in snubbing people who believe in God. And we can’t wail to the world when this happens. We have to hide in God and look to His provision and His plan.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Let me ask, rather, why you observed so.

This, therefore what? Without a reason, egotism sticks up its ugly head as a default. Which we all must avoid.

[fwdude]

If he’s now a “she,” he clearly isn’t the same person they hired. So, there is no case. Just refuse to hire the “woman.”
