#fuck save our children

[100gayicons]

Forty-eight years ago, Dade County Florida, passed an ordinance that prohibited discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Former Beauty Queen, singer, and Florida Orange Spokesperson Anita Bryant initiated a campaigned called “Save Our Children” to repeal the Gay Rights ordinance. It gained nation attention, encouraging other homophobes to enact similar campaigns.

But it also energized Gay Rights Activist to fight back.

At a TV appearance in Iowa on October 14, 1977, Gay Rights Activist Thom Higgins interrupted Bryant by throwing a cream pie in her face. She was shocked, with goo dripping down her face. She attempted to pray to gawd to forgive the Higgins "for his deviant lifestyle" then bursting into tears.

Higgins accomplished what every Gay person in America wished they could do, and for that I thank him.

Although the repeal was ultimately successful, Bryant’s career was damaged, causing her to lose her Orange spokesperson contract.

Soon Bryant's marriage to Bob Green failed and in 1980 she divorced him, citing emotional abuse and latent suicidal thoughts. Her once faithful brethren turned against her and Christian fundamentalists called her a hypocrite and shunned her. Because she was no longer invited to appear at their events, she lost a major source of income.

Bryant became an object of ridicule - going from a model Christian spokeswoman to that of a self-righteous bigot. TV hosts such as the Tonight’s Show’s Johnny Carson mocked her.

In the 1990s both state and federal governments filed liens against Bryant claiming more than $116,000 in unpaid taxes.

Another knife in Bryant’s back came in 2021, when Bryant's granddaughter came out publicly announcing her marriage to a woman.

Her final chapter came in December 2024, Anita Bryant died of cancer. I hope her final days were painful.

One hundred children murdered to produce a litre of Adrenochrome which they sell for $2.2 Billion USD.

There is NO MORE sitting on the fence, you either STAND UP and PROTECT GOD's Children or you DON'T.

Never forget why we started. It always was, and still is about the children.

Crimes Against Our Children

Military is the only way No Deals

All children are our children. 12,660 innocent children have been murdered since October 7th. Along with 16,340 innocent civilians. Ceasefire now. All eyes on Gaza and all eyes on Rafah. This a genocide. Also year 75 plus 136 days of Palestinian genocide. And miss me with that but the hostages bs and that Palestine started it. Idk how to tell you this but these dead people and children were innocent people. And you should also care about them.

[dimiclaudeblaigan]

nah but like

they're "seiros lapdogs" because they're fighting back against the people who attacked them completely unprovoked??? also because it so happens that thales is at garreg mach so they have to go there to reclaim the area to defeat him???

i just hate this because it's just perpetuating things about faerghus and its people that just aren't true. it frames it like they jumped into the war willingly for the church and that they're only here for the church. like nah buddy, it's not faerghus' fault you're out here fighting to protect thales and ludwig.

it also is batshit to me how he and leopold are fighting to stop faerghus from advancing but like... they know what's happening to the empire and that edelgard isn't even calling the shots anymore, yet they still stupidly fight for the very person who is literally razing their country and burning their villages. they know the empire is in shambles and that the kingdom isn't targeting them and is specifically aiming for gm to get it back from who? thales; who, mind, at this point is in his real form and not posing as arundel anymore. everything is laid out plainly, but they still act like faerghus is the bad guy.

but yeah, okay. faerghus BaD for defending themselves, fighting back, finding out who is behind all the puppeteering and heading to take him out. sure, that makes them seiros lapdogs. like what are you, an agarthan mouthpiece??? may as well be like yeah you go retreat and leave you agarthan lapdog. if they don't realize it's Someone Else in charge of course, then ludwig lapdog works fine too.

and it sucks because other than this shit, i like waldemar just fine as a character. it's just like, it feels like they forced someone to have to stick in that final faerghus BaD insult before the grand finale so they just randomly picked someone to remind us that faerghus is Always Wrong as long as they continue to fight back and prevent being attacked in the future.

waldemar here is just basically ag caspar. fighting and risking his life for thales, who is destroying the empire and basically holding the emperor hostage. if the writing here had any decent plot points, they would've all stopped and have been like hey wait, shouldn't we be fighting to get our emperor back? why are we stopping these guys from killing the people who are destroying this country?

and like, they literally went from siding with ludwig during the insurrection to siding with edelgard in this timeline to... jumping immediately back to ludwig as soon as he was at the top of the food chain (thales notwithstanding). as soon as the person in charge changes, they jump ship immediately; then of course get mad that the people they attacked are coming after them... and fighting them as they defend the very people who are letting adrestia become a literal, physical ruin.

it really just tells me that these people don't care about adrestia itself, but status, power and wealth. they don't care about the country itself as long as they're doing well. that's like, the only thing i can get from still fighting with/for ludwig/thales. the fact that they just fight for ludwig again as soon as edelgard is out of commission is also pretty gross to me. they have no loyalty at all.

and it's like, i want to like waldermar and leopold, but they come across as just selfish, entitled and only there for their own asses to be covered. and i get that - that is a realistic take on politicians, but the fact that the game regularly loops back around to faerghus BaD despite that and despite portraying these people as opportunistically selfish is like... what are they even trying to write??

OKAY. to the people observing, hello, i am awake now, good morning. ramble in the tags because honestly i still feel kinda wounded by yesterday but also now im embarrassed by the gravity of my reaction

[sharisquatch]

It's amazing - the difference medication can make.

I'm starting to feel like myself again, starting to feel like maybe I can create things and be willing to share again.

I can feel the urge to write, to make art. I didn't realize how much I have missed this.

It's like there's been so much static in my brain and an endless black hole in my chest, and slowly, it's going away.

i think its funny that in good omens some 11 year old swearing technically did more in stopping Armageddon successfully than the demon and angel main characters who spent the entire series trying to stop the end of the world. like girl, they didn't even get trialed for saving the earth, they got put on trial for being gay with each other really

[zevranunderstander]

we just played a session of our campaign which was like the first HUGE arc finale, and I can only summarise it by saying that nemja's evil ex survived being barbequed by the most powerful magic source in the world because we teleported him away with us, 3 characters got powers / memories back that they didn't have access to since the start of the campaign and nemja's kids (yeah he stole some kids) very likely died a really horrible and cruel and undeserving death and none of these things are on the top 10 of Insane Things That Happened This Session

War on children. Once again “pro-lifers” I’m going to need you to speak the fuck up for these children, or start calling yourselves pro-birthers or say that you only want to control a woman’s body. For fucks sake they’re so traumatized that they’re losing their ability to speak. It’s hard enough for adults to articulate the horrors that they’ve been through, I can’t even imagine how hard it would be for a child to do so. But the hostages/Hamas people need to sit the fuck down and realize that children don’t hold hostages nor are they Hamas. I’m not a parent but even I know that ALL CHILDREN ARE OUR CHILDREN AND CHILDREN ARE INNOCENT. Once this genocide is over I hope that these children can get the mental health care and support that they so desperately need/deserve.

🤮 fucking yikes! Nick Groff is literally interacting with people who use antisemitic dog whistles and promoting a movie made by an Evangelical Christian Q*non person.

[thekimspoblog]

"Prince of Egypt" is one of those movies the internet has decided that you're not allowed to hate.

Too bad I do!
