Beto O’Rourke handed the Christian right a talking point it’ll use to bludgeon the left for years to come. onesarahjones writes
Beto O’Rourke Photo: Mario Tama/Getty Images Beto O’Rourke is not going to be the president. Not this time, as Jonathan Frakes would put it. But as his campaign enters what must surely be its final stages, the candidate has begun to flail in increasingly more dramatic ways. In some cases, he is entertaining, and also correct. The National Rifle Association should probably lose its tax-exempt status, as he suggested a few weeks ago.
The internet tells me that it’s National Coming Out Day. Even if it weren’t, I would prefer to do almost anything but discuss the rights of churches that oppose basic rights for LGBTQ people. Their teachings are cancerous. They drive people to suicide. I grew up in these churches, and I wish it were socially unacceptable to belong to them. It offends me personally that their teachings occupy any corner of any human heart. For these reasons and more, I wish I could agree with O’Rourke.
