Oak Lawn United Methodist Church in Dallas Texas responded to Governor Greg Abbott’s order to remove rainbow crosswalks across the state by painting its front steps in rainbow colors

This is the statement from the church:

“Silence is not neutral. Silence in the face of harm always sides with the oppressor. Painting our steps in the colors of the rainbow is a visible witness to the gospel we preach: that every person is created in the image of God and worthy of safety, dignity and belonging. We are being Christian. Our steps are a declaration in paint: every LGBTQ+ child of God deserves safety, dignity, and joy - without apology.”

Texas approves “parents rights” amendment that could enable harm against kids


Say what??

The "vague and broad" amendment could enable parents to justify child abuse or allow state agents to arbitrarily define acceptable parental standards.

Most people I saw agreed that this wasn't the case to do it with, even with this SCOTUS who will make up facts to justify their rulings.

So I've seen these horrific unisex bathrooms that the GOP have been demonizing. It's just water closets with actual doors instead of stalls with a sink area to wash hands. That's it.

Churches: Numbers for our congregation are dwindling. What should we do?

Member: Maybe start being more inclusive to members who are LGBTQ+?

Churches: That's it! More sermons about them going to Hell. Genius!

Trump administration ‘inadvertently’ deported transgender woman to Mexico despite judge’s concern she may face torture there

Correction from the replies. It's still not legal just recognized. So if you're from a country that doesn't have same sex marriage, you still can't get married. But if you are married abroad, you're recognized as married.
