Not A Holy Place

"you can't wear that in my house. you can become an earning member and buy a house and do whatever you want there" directed towards a child is okay but directed towards, for example, a homemaker wife, is abuse? make it make sense how the former ISN'T?

Why tf does someone need to be over 18 to have basic body autonomy? Why tf does a person need to be an earning member to be considered as a person having inherent worth/dignity/for their word to be taken into consideration (at the very least)?

I have witnessed leftists who believe in prisoners rights justifying spanking and I don't understand. If you can understand that people in power hitting incarcerated people to "correct" them is a violation of human rights and an abuse of authority, how do you not understand the same logic when it comes to parents and children?

You can't say that you hate homophobia and then turn around and give 10% of your income to rich bigots and say "well the church isn't that bad! I still believe in love and that heavenly father loves all his children even if the prophet sometimes makes a silly little mistake and says something hateful and homophobic :)"

If you're gay and still happy in the church then good for you, but don't pretend to be an ally.

And don't try to tell me that those were just mistakes and that the church leaders were just mislead, because Oaks gives a homophobic/transphobic talk every fucking year at GC.
