  • Do you specifically condemn the Pope for his use of slurs?

    Also, not appreciating you downplaying the fact that the Catholic church clearly believes LGBTQIA+ is a sin. This is not allyship by any stretch of the imagination.

    You know it’s real easy to judge others for the sins of their fathers. How far into your family history would we need to dig to judge you for the rape or murders your forebears likely committed?

    Irrelevant. I’d condemn them. There’s never been an excuse for such behavior.

    I’m only judging the church and it’s shitty pope based on their actual words and actions. They’re still an active hate group in 2024.


  • But as for actually judging people only based on what they say

    How dare we judge someone based on [checks notes] the actual words. they say???

    But let’s focus on the actual things the church believes for a moment. Certainly that’s better, right? Certainly they’re… hmmm… well, yikes!

    But still this is the “good pope” right? So certainly he wouldn’t… oh fuck.

    Well, turns out it’s fair after all to judge him as bring a confirmed queerphobe and the catholic church as a hate group.

    So with this further context I repeat: do you condemn the pope’s repeated use of an actual homophobic slur? (Not that you should require this further context, since he has no excuse for using this term as someone outside the queer community.)







  • Nice job trying to excuse and downplay homophobia. I’m old as fuck, and we’ve known for a very long time these words were harmful. If your family just accepted the norm at the time and upheld a status quo that harmed and erased queer people, and then never changed to the point that they would just stop, then fuck them. They’re bigots, and they’re not good people.

    And yes, I have family who speak English, Spanish, Korean, Swedish, and Norwegian, and only the completely dogshit ones who I’d never claim or associate with are bigots.

    Fuck the pope, and fuck everyone who’s making excuses for him being a bigot.
