For example, Mystique being transgender and Morph being non-binary.

    intolerance which isn’t tied to any political platform.

    Except for the GOP platform. Being anti gay, anti trans, etc is all wrapped up in it.

      Cite where in the platform it says anything like that.

          That document seems to be corrupted. All I see is they want marriage to be defined as a man and a woman. I can’t copy and paste out of it for some reason, and I can’t even open it in a browser.

          Is that your earth-shattering evidence? That is from 2016, but it is the current platform. I suspect that will change as people really don’t care anymore.

            Exactly.

            Is that your earth-shattering evidence?

            It crossed my mind to link more, but I knew you wouldn’t even be able to handle this one. Best to stick to one at a time, lest you ignore the rest as you often do.

            That is from 2016, but it is the current platform.

            If it doesn’t represent the GOP, then they shouldn’t have it on their site. They chose to keep it up because that bigotry hasn’t changed.

                Agreed. That’s why I stopped after only one. It just not worth it to hunt down the rest of the examples and format them here.

                I’m not gonna put effort in just for it to get dismissed out of hand, ignored, or some other weak excuse to be brought up.

              I don’t see that as anti-gay. I fully support gay marriage but to me that’s a yawn

                  If we use that logic, Bill Clinton and Obama were anti-gay as well. Bernie Sanders, as well.

                    You’re equating a position the GOP presently, publicly stands by to the past positions of individuals who have since changed their minds, and are misquoted.

                    Stop with the unicorns and magic.

                  I think you are confused. My trans friend is married and could have been married before SOTUS approved it.

                  Also, my friend isn’t into gay rights. While you think LBGTQ+ is a monolithic group, it isn’t. She isn’t anti-gay rights, but gay rights don’t concern her. She is VERY into trans rights.

              While I don’t agree with their games. That’s a 1st amendment issue.

              My view is as a government employee. Do your job and shut up.

              I think I get part of your malfunction now. You think all conservatives are socially conservative. I am not. I lean much more left on most social topics. I’m right with military, spending, etc.

              I’m not religious. So the social Bible thumping conservatives I have little in common with.

                He doesn’t think anything, he has provided ypu the platforms own statements on these topics. You think you can ignore reality as a debate tactic.

        It’s the whole “campaigning specifically on attacking trans people and minorities” that kinda gives it away
