The Bookworm Beat 9/18/16 — the “people are singing” edition and open thread

“Claims in our day of being progressive and moving forward by accepting the ‘new prevailing views on sexuality and same-sex marriage’ are horribly misinformed … Contemporary views about sexuality are simply a revival of an older and much less loving view of the world.”

But they are also a revival of an older and impoverished view of human beings. Imagine the reaction of a pagan Roman slave girl who learned for the first time that she had value—not monetary value as a piece of goods to be enjoyed or discarded by her owner—but eternal value because she was made in the very image of God.

‘I’m Not Going to Certify Sin’: Man Suspended After Refusing to Watch LGBT Inclusion Video

“In support of an inclusive work environment, as well as exemplary customer service, the Social Security Administration recently announced a diversity and inclusion training on the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Community to our employees. This mandatory video training reminds our employees of their responsibility, as representatives of the agency, to provide the highest levels of service to our customers. The training includes a brief session on tips for increasing cultural awareness in a diverse and inclusive environment. We are unable to comment on specific personnel matters.”

Sultan Knish: Moderates and Radicals in Islam and the Left

Even Obama and Hillary were against gay marriage when they ran for office. In a few years they moved from opposing a policy to threatening to prosecute those opposed to it. That is how the left works.

Mother, 36, and son, 19, say they’ll do anything to defend their love

More vomitus from the Left. “They have decided to go public with their affair in a bid to raise awareness of Genetic Sexual Attraction (GSA) relationships. This is what happens when you cater to sex perverts. All LGBTs are mentally ill and should be treated as such.

You Owe Them Nothing – Not Respect, Not Loyalty, Not Obedience – Kurt Schlichter

Now it seems we actually have a new social contract – do what we say and don’t resist, and in return we’ll abuse you, lie about you, take your money, and look down upon you in contempt. What a bargain!It’s not a social contract anymore – American society today is a suicide pact we never agreed to and yet we’re expected to go first.I say “No.”We owe them nothing – not respect, not loyalty, not obedience. Nothing.
