Cahn’s writing argues, in summary: the Stonewall riots of 1969 which launched the modern gay-rights movement opened the floodgates to another realm, from which ancient pagan deities returned to Earth, including the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar, who is resentful at being marginalized for thousands of years and hungry to return the favour against Christianity.
Reminder: These people are not trying to say anything true. They trumpet deliberate falsehood as a demonstration of power: “Because I can get away with slandering you, I therefore have power over you.”
The more absurdly false the lies they tell, the more power they are laying claim to. The right response is laughter and mockery, not rebuttal. They are standing up in front of the public in a clown outfit, proclaiming that foolishness and idiocy must be treated seriously.
Also reminder: a claim is not evidence. Claiming a god exists and said things, even to the point of writing it down, is not evidence of that god existing.
What you believe matters. Try to believe as many evidently true things as you can.
As if Ishtar could pull that off anyway. It’s well known that she is a useless goddess who can’t even find Gugalanna when Mommy is trying to drown humanity
“oh no, gay people exist, let’s ban everything”
Fucking idiots
“While the town has not cited specific grounds for the potential restrictions, discussion about it has centred around art with LGBTQ themes.”
Surprise!
Seems unconstitutional as fuck…
I’m not sure who concluded that banning art with lgbtq+ themes would create constitutional problems, but a complete ban wouldn’t create problems.
The NH state motto is “Live Free or Die”. The motto is even on vehicle license plates. They’re going to have to substantially reduce the font size to get “Live Christofascism or Die” or “Live Far-Right Totalitarianism or Die” to fit on there.
I grew up in a similar small, northern-NE “arts/tourist town” (not in NH), where, generally speaking, part of the learned ethos was that “minding your own business” was a virtue. If this kind of shit ever took hold there the town would be finished - no more tourists = no economy at all. That would of course be great for the down-country wealthy who could then swoop in and buy up land and historic old houses, close to skiing, for pennies on the dollar.
Horrible people
Deplorable, even.
I saw this movie once about a town that completely banned dancing, but that was probably completely different.
The apocalyptic shitstain author that the most bigoted in a crew of council bigots admires has this idea:
…in summary: the Stonewall riots of 1969 which launched the modern gay-rights movement opened the floodgates to another realm, from which ancient pagan deities returned to Earth, including the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar, who is resentful at being marginalized for thousands of years and hungry to return the favour against Christianity.
Once again making the LGBTQIA+ world really badass and appealing
The 1A completely protects displaying art in public. The limit of the town govt’s power here is taking down art it owns (e.g. statues in parks) and refusing to put anything up.
Oh look! More crazy Republicans. Whodda thunk it.
