Department of Public Works employee Eric Batman claims that having to see a Progress Pride flag flying outside the department’s Alhambra, California, headquarters during the month of June effectively forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin” in conflict with his sincerely held Christian religious beliefs, according to a lawsuit filed in March by anti-LGBTQ+ evangelical nonprofit the Liberty Counsel.
Group opposed to liberty for others calls itself the Liberty Council. And misspells it.
“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” That doesn’t mean you, motherfucker.
Nowhere in the Bible does it mention the Pride flag.
There is pride and there is Pride
The first has Christ on their side
The latter knows not battle won
And thus cast out brightest sun
B happy b love but know divinity
Server client holy internet trinity
World b illusion the Buddha sed
The wolf inside is the wolfs fed
Entanglement is all u r made of
Make sure knot not lust but luv
The first has Christ on their side
Just so their’s no misunderstanding by the illiterate and ignorant, I’m saying Jesus stands with us LGBTQ+ people. Therein, with no cultural structure to enforce positive behavior, the sexually immoral people (rapists, molesters, public masturbators, peeping Toms, etc) don’t get the same feedback to save themselves from themselves.
Would be fun to see this lawsuit succeeding.
The Satanic Temple would have a field day suing everything christian by this precedent.
A satanist could even argue it causes them physical harm to be subjected to “holy” imagery against their will, if the scriptures are to be believed.
Fascist sues because he’s reminded daily that he could be a nice and caring person if he wanted to
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you… The United States of America
It’s hard out there for a wimp
How much do you want to bet that this guy has been on the internet calling people snowflakes unironically?
Oh wow i really thought this was an onion article…
So can all his coworkers sue them because they have to look at this bigoted piece of shit every day?
It must be hard to be this fragile little bitch of a bigot.
Ya know…I really hate that people use the term “snowflake” to describe soft sensitive people. My logic is simple. When I grew up, I was taught that snowflakes were unique and beautiful. Individually a work of art on their own or can work together to form something greater.
I don’t want that beautiful word to describe these foul creatures.
Instead I suggest they are called “little bitches”. Use that term instead of snowflakes from now on.
Hey now, us bitches work hard! This pathetic human being that can’t look at a rainbow flag without feeling shame, regret, and evil, he needs therapy.
Therapy and a long time spent in exile away from society.
Besides, where would you be without bitches and their bitchcraft? Absolutely maidenless, that’s where.
Agree.
Rotten Shitbag could also work.
Hey, rotten shitbags probably melt eventually too
Jet fuel melts rotten shitbags!
“We Shitbags are a proud people!”
Shitbags sound useful for certain scenarios.
Why not just rotten turd?
Yes, gendered insults are much better.
I haven’t associated bitch with gender, like, ever. Language evolves over time
So you don’t think that the reason “bitch” is used to insult a man as being weak has anything to do with the fact that it’s a feminine slur?
Nope.
I’m not totally disagreeing, but I also can’t square it with the term “asshole”. What does the term for someone being mean have to do with the end of your digestive tract? Why do “cunt” and “pussy” have almost opposite meanings, and “cunt” being very similar to how we use “dick” or “asshole” to refer to a person?
All of those holes and appendages have necessary function and can be fun to play with.
Different terms for excrement is much better in my opinion.
What does it mean to you?
That guy from the story
In what way is “little bitches” gendered?
Wait, are you thinking I’m using the definition of “female dog”?
Okay, what definition are you using?
Someone who’s weak, submissive, pathetic, and blames all others for their short comings and insecurities.
“Weak, submissive, pathetic” like the traditional misogynistic view of women? The one that gets applied to men to suggest they are being feminine as an insult?
In no way did I ever say women are weak, submissive, or pathetic. That kinda seems like you drawing your own lines.
I’m pretty sure people started calling conservatives snowflakes when conservatives used it to bitch about participation trophies and that kinda stuff. So it’s use it’s use is a critique of conservatives using it for absurd things when they themselves are so sensitive to a lot of things.
Oh, yeah, I get the orgin. I still don’t like it.
Pendejos in Spanish
It’s somewhat apt though, given that they got the term from Fight Club - Just more proof that they wouldn’t understand satire even if it cockslapped them in the face.
Where’s the satire in Fight Club?
Tylee Durden is am allegory for toxic masculinity. He talks a big game about individuality and self-determination, but Project Mayhem is even more strictly conformist and anti-individualistic than the corporate culture it’s rebelling against.
People like Andrew Tate watch the movie and think Tyler Durden is an example to be followed but they don’t even take on his critique of capitalism.
Like. In his speech at the start, about how your possessions own you, he’s not wrong about society. But instead of offering a real solution, all he does is gather men with social issues into a rage-fuelled terrorist cult which he can’t even control. Much like the One Ring uses good intentions to corrupt its wearer to evil, so Tyler Durden uses genuine feelings of dissatisfaction and disaffection men feel in the late 20th century to pointlessly destructive aims, ultimately reproducing the very power structures they claim to fight against.
In the early years of the alt-right and 4chan/b, the derisive use of snowflake was a counter to the notion that everyone is special, noting that while snowflakes are unique and beautiful, they’re also superfluously abundant.
It smacks of social Darwinism, the notion that there’s too many people and fair treatment of them all is unaffordable, which is only the case when a few hold an extremely disproportionate amount of wealth and power.
(As an aside, the extreme wealth/power disparity that we see today is a symptom of the decay of a society that precedes decline and collapse, at least as we’ve seen in history. Before the US, an embarrassment of riches was exactly that. In the states, since the rise of the gold rush and the railroad barons, extreme wealth in the US has become an object of admiration and aspiration. The American dream is to join the billionaire class, no matter how rarely it actually happens.)
Shitflakes, Bo Banders
Fixed it, just for you
little bitch of a bigot
That’s got a ring to it! It’s fun to say, and I hope one day I get to use that to insult someone withthat phrase.
We’ve done good work here today!
I like “suppurating assholes” for this reason.
Calling them “snowflakes” is just to point out their hypocrisy.
What’s hard is living in a country that seems to care more about this snowflake bullshit than health care and wages.
Fragile + Bigot… There’s something there
Fraggot
Biggile?

Has he considered reading the Bible and following the teachings of Jesus Christ? It might help him understand what Christianity is supposed to be about.
It might help him understand what Christianity is supposed to be about.
Don’t bother. Satan will claim his own soon enough. In the meantime, resist.
Do you really think they are reading their book?
Also which one? They’ll pick the one that most fits what they want.
If they are reading anything but the new testament then it is just a history lesson.
Which translation, which interpretation? It’s hard to say the New Testament is a single work with just one commonly understood message.
Most self-described Christians are Devil worshipers. If your religion preaches hate, you’re not worshiping God, you’re worshiping Satan.
But Jesus it too woke and gay for Reighwing Christians
This is literally what qualifies as “shoving it down our throats” when conservatives say that LGBT+ folks can live how they want but not shove it down everybody’s throats. That’s my personal experience with conservative relatives and locals, at least.
Being reminded that certain “other” people exist without being hunted down is all it takes to set them off.
So while the lawsuit is a stupid waste of resources, the basic dickhead at the center of it is probably genuinely motivated to pursue it.
Based on their rantings, I have a pretty good idea of their intrusive thoughts about having things shoved down their throats. Such thoughts must give them disturbing feelings.
Tale as old as time…
I see confederate flags round here all the time and I don’t feel forced to celebrate the confederacy… idiot.
It’s important to see both sides of any argument. The winning side, and the losing side.
Well … you don’t see Nazi flags in Germany today but you can see them in USA. “Freedom to be idiot” is a great thing.
this guy does not deserve his last name
He’s the opposite of Batman
Manbat?
Oppressing people for money sounds a lot like Batman. I guess he’s not beating up the people he steals from yet.
Fucking snowflakes
