The Catholic Church and LGBTQ+ “inclusivity”

“Gay Priests? About Bloody Time, Catholic Church!” 🌈✝️ Hold onto your rosaries, dolls, because the Catholic Church is finally showing the tiniest sliver of progression. New guidelines reportedly suggest that gay men might – might – be allowed to become priests. But before we start throwing glitter in celebration, let’s take a closer look at this hot mess. The Catholic Church, infamous for its long-standing homophobia and exclusionary practices, seems to be dipping a reluctant toe into inclusivity. These new guidelines, while not groundbreaking, hint that gay men who remain celibate may be deemed “worthy” of serving God. Gee, thanks, Vatican – how generous of you. 🙄 But here’s the gag: queer people have always been in the church. From the choir directors serving soprano realness ...

It is all because of the gays if Los Angeles is burning!

Breaking News: Gays Blamed for Wildfires in LA—Again! 🔥🌈 Oh, Mary, grab your fans because this is too much! According to a so-called “expert” (and we use that term loosely), the gays are apparently the reason for the wildfires scorching Los Angeles. Yes, really. Seems like we’ve moved on from being blamed for hurricanes and economic downturns to now setting California ablaze! It’s giving Desperate Housewives meets The Da Vinci Code, and frankly, we’re howling. “The Gays Did It” – A Tired Old Tune 🎶 Apparently, when life gets tough, people still find it easier to blame queer folks than, you know, actual causes like climate change, deforestation, or poor urban planning. But sure, let’s all believe that gays sipping oat milk lattes on Santa Monica Boulevard are summoning wildfires with ...

The Vivienne wasn’t just a Drag Race UK champion; she was a trailblazer who showed us that a scouse queen could conquer the world while kee...

LGBTQ+ Meta staff and the case of time off for “mental illness” – the saga continues

Meta’s Hate Speech Chaos: LGBTQ+ Employees Speak Out, and the Fallout Could Be Massive 🌈 In a shocking turn of events, LGBTQ+ employees at Meta are reportedly calling themselves “mentally ill” and taking time off work after the tech giant decided to relax its hate speech policies. This isn’t just a workplace issue—it’s a signal flare for the broader community and a potential harbinger of even darker days ahead. 💔 Let’s unpack this drama, darlings. Meta’s new policy, which seemingly allows certain types of hate speech under the guise of “freedom of expression,” has understandably left its LGBTQ+ employees feeling unsafe, unheard, and disillusioned. Some are even claiming that this shift in policy violates the company’s own ethos of fostering inclusivity. And honestly? They're not wrong....
