I don't see anything wrong with everything but the underlined, and even then, the only people who are wanting women to use the men's restroom is the anti-LGBT rights movement.


To be honest, I really don't care much if women piss in a cup in the middle of a trip in the middle of tall grass.

It's pissing ffs.

Okay, so then, let Allah judge those who he will judge. For the rest of us, who don't believe in Allah, to be honest there really isn't any persuasiveness to anything you just said, so to be frank it does not really matter to us, so it naturally won't be our consideration. For one, my Gods, and the Gods of many, have no issue with it.

I'm perfectly happy with my Gods, and I respect your right to follow your god, but ultimately, I don't follow your god, so I still prefer to celebrate humanities natural diversity in sexuality and gender identity. :)

Being LGBT is not a "major transgression". It is people just wanting to be treated the same as everyone else.

Don't try to impose your crap on people who have better things with their lives than worry about what the main character out of somebody's bad trip thousands of years ago wants.

Typical for the camp of tyrants and disbelievers to hate the supreme truth of what Allah has sent down to humanity have you heard of Sodom and the Prophet Lut?


What happened at Sodom was an act of attempted rape. Therefore, it has no bearing on consensual sexual activity. Also, if being anti-LGBT were really some sort of "supreme truth", then logic would be against LGBT equality. Instead, however, we find the reverse to be true. Therefore, the supreme truth is that its ok to be LGBT. Anything otherwise is a lie.

As an atheist, I respect those that are religious, however, those that are religious shouldn't oppress others because of their beliefs. Yes you can say that LGBTQ community is against your beliefs, but nonetheless, please show them respect as we're all equal

If Allah is not for LGBT equal rights, then not even Allah is worth worshipping, because Allah would be evil.

The Inverse Function doesn't just apply to Christians.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Child abuse? Nah. In order for it to be child abuse, there has to be intent to hurt the children. Since the parents thing they're helping, it legally can't be abuse.

Child endangerment and negligence, on the other hand... Those just need shitty parents to stick.
