CA Legislators Blame Religious People For High LGBT Suicide Rates
The Federalist ^ | June 27, 2019 | Glenn T. Stanton

Posted on 06/27/2019 10:04:59 AM PDT by detective

Legislators in California have discovered yet another way to make it clear that mainstream religions holding to the sexual teachings of their sacred texts have no business doing so in the Golden State. Why? Because these faiths, which billions of good people worldwide happily hold, do not embrace homosexuality. This includes the three largest: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

In a resolution that recently passed the state assembly, “the Legislature calls upon all Californians to embrace the individual and social benefits of family and community acceptance” of LGBT people. It singles out especially faith-motivated individuals and organizations.

These legislators make a very ugly accusation against such people. California lawmakers are planning to spread the idea, with the power and moral authority of the state, that such religious beliefs actually kill people, including children. The text of this bill boldly states:

WHEREAS, The stigma associated with being LGBT often created by groups in society, including therapists and religious groups, has caused disproportionately high rates of suicide, attempted suicide, depression, rejection, and isolation amongst LGBT and questioning individuals

Homosexuals commit suicide at much higher rates than any other group. Legalizing homosexual marriage was supposed to end that. It does not. Homosexuals despise themselves and want to end their miserable, joyless lives.

But Democrats always want to portray homosexuals as victims. Religious people are their latest scapegoat to blame for homosexual suicide rates.

This blaming society nonsense has to end...

These people have mental disorders that manifest themselves in their behaviors... As such they are always going to have higher suicide rates than the general population (just like all people with mental illness do).

It doesn’t matter how OPEN or ACCEPTING a society is of these behaviors, they ALWAYS have higher suicide rates, because people with mental illness are more likely to commit suicide... PERIOD.

This lie has to stop! Society and its acceptance or rejection of sexual behaviors does not influence suicide rates of these individuals.

CA Legislators are complete dumb*sses.
But, then again since they are Democrats, and even worse - California Democrats, that is a given.

We see the grim results of today’s high school eddikashun. And since the idiots then went to CA ‘colleges’ (and we KNOW they didn’t study anything even close to hard) their meager knowledge was lessened by the time they received their box top degrees.

Shove it, CA legislature. Pick up your asshat badge at the door.

So I guess since it’s a life or death situation, we need to defensively send religious people to the gas chambers.

I blame the folks who washed their hands of it and announced that these crazy people were not crazy and did not need support for their mental illness.

“Homosexuals despise themselves and want to end their miserable, joyless lives.”

This is not true, they commit suicide because largely they suffer from mental disorders, that for political reasons are not treated or even admitted to.

Period.

Is California really going to order Muslims to tolerate the LGBT group? I’m not holding my breath.

This is a very important article. I believe the stage is clearly being set for what is to come for people of faith, and that is submit or die. We already know “the lawless one” will not have affection for women.

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.

Hopefully there would be some "sudden Jihad syndrome".

California is committing suicide. Well...its a liberine and lgbt etc. society and they have disproportionate high suicide rates and viola. There may be a tipping point...and the libertnes and lgb’s having once enjoyed their time in the sun...succumb to their own excesses and nature.( e.g. disproportionate HIV...STD..depression...HPV...CMV..physical abuse..etc..cancers). The land will vomit them out. Whole societies do die out y’all

Religious people? Sure. Because we can’t blame soul-destroying spiritual rot, rampant venereal disease or mental illness. It must be religious people.

They have high suicide rates because they KNOW they are defective people. And they get in weird anti-social situations for their predilections.

At least now these enabling commies admit homos have a problem.

Homosexuals suffer from nearly every mental and physical ailment at rates much higher than the general population. It is 100% their own fault.

In our leftist, Neo-marxist, post-modern social climate, their narcissism and victimhood will have no end, and it will be encouraged by leftists with very specific political and social-engineering agendas.

Christianity: Love the sinner; hate the sin.

Judaism: I’m not Jewish, don’t know for sure how Jews approach it.

Islam: I highly recommend you take another gander at how Christianity approaches this topic, and then get with the program.

About 40% of trannies off themselves. Consider:
The surgery is irreversable, and costs north of $50,000, so a lot of them bankrupt themselves, trying to match the disturbed fantasy they see on TV of the opposite sex.

Heterosexuals, 98% of the population, avoid trannies. An instinctive reaction, that says don't screw anyone crazier than you.

Homosexual men want nothing to do with biological women, let alone self-hating ones with manufactured penises, and massive scars on their chests from breast reduction surgery. Male trannies are parodies of women, who dress like cheap hookers.

Female-to-male trannies are even worse off. Gay women HATE men, and feel contempt for women who try to imitate what they view as their oppressors.

This all leaves transexual emotional train wrecks outside, in the cold, with only the DNC telling them to continue dumping thousands, every year, for hormone therapy and solitary nights until they swallow a bottle of tranquilizers, washed down with a fifth of Jack.

One other opinion. Psychiatry is nonsense, like Wiccan, phrenology and crystal therapy. Until they can prove their witchcraft with numbers, they are spouting occult spells.
