Conservatives always link bestiality and homosexuality, because they see gay people as no more than animals, subhuman. So of course a subhuman would just fuck everything else subhuman, so they make that fucked up link that having sex with another consenting adult, somehow means you're gearing up to fuck animals.

They or his wife wants to fuck dogs and is projecting.

No, it's because they view sex as a relationship between a man and his sex object.

[–] Poayjay@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It also helps paint homosexuality as some perverted kink

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 15 points 10 months ago

This is also why they have a problem with trans people. They think people want to “wear a sexual kink in public”.

Trans people don’t do it because they get off on it.

I never considered that aspect of it, horrible. Bad enough equivocating people that do those things with someone's preference. 'Subhuman' is beyond. I just can't understand caring that much who someone else loves let alone hating for it.

This is how you funnel money to people in government positions. Their spouses give "talks" across a "wide variety of timely topics" for money.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 38 points 10 months ago

TL;DR; I'll just fill in the punchline from all of the previous, similar news articles: Mike Johnson and his wife are self-loathing sexual deviants. Got it.

I read the title and thought “wow that’s unexpectedly cool of her to proactively go after terrible homophobic websites and get them taken down somehow…“. Then I read a little bit more and realized it was HER website. Of course.

THANK YOU for explaining!!! I didn't read the article (heh) and I was like, "what the hell is with all these comments? Who are these people???"

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Bet you this guy gets caught in a wide stance at some point.

[–] charliespider@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Like simultaneously pro-life AND pro-NRA?

😉

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

No like "just asking for some tp" under a stall divider.

[–] erranto@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Heads don't fall that easily.

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Somebody's hiding their light under a bushel!

Where do you buy these nonflammable bushels

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Right next to the bushes that burn but are not consumed; aisle 35B, third shelf.

If she actually believed her own bullshit then she would be GLAD that she has a more prominent platform from which to spread her beliefs.

[–] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

Seriously. Deeply held religions convictions my ass.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Being gay is nothing like those two. Glad it is gone.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

Christians are animals lmao.

Why does this guy look like someone asked an AI to create a real life Alfred E. Neuman with glasses? It's uncanny.

well at least she took it down

edit: i was being ineffably sarcastic

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 4 points 10 months ago

This is arguably a bad thing. The damage her shitty website could do is nothing compared to the damage that her husband can do if they're successful in whitewashing his history. They haven't stopped believing these things, they just don't want the public to know they believe these things.

Oh Poe's Law...
