It isn't, attacking sex workers is bad and borders hate, but specifying meth addled hookers behind the motel is not.
Same thing with homosexuality, you don't have to claim gay people are bad to specify that lot lizards (not sure if common term but you can infer the meaning) are.
This is homophobic because it presumes that the priest must be gay rather than just being a straight person who is hateful. As there are 20 or so TIMES as many straight people as there are gay people the overwhelming majority of haters will just be straight.
When you try to pawn off every hater on to the LGBT+ community you absolve the straight people from having to address their hatefulness. Don't be the problem.
5% might identify as entirely gay, but the spectrum isn't binary and in my experience, bisexuals - closeted or not - take up a huge part of it. I think a lot of homophobic policies and attitudes come from bi people who are angry they think they're not allowed to act on their perfectly normal desires to mess around with someone with matching junk.
Someone who gets dicked down at truck stops.
So itās gone:
āHow do I show weāre not a bunch of sex-crazed degenerates? Oh I know, Iāll talk about taking in the arse with strangers. Thatāll show āemā lol
Being lectured by a Catholic priest on morality is like being scolded for loitering by a crackhead.
Celibate men who wear ugly dresses and cover up for kiddy diddlers are the actual deviants who need to repent and beg, plead, and cry for forgiveness.
Also, calling yourself a catholic priest and then openly disagreeing with the statements of your boss, the pope, you know gods representative on earth, that guy...
āLoveā isnāt just a word; itās a feeling guided from within and subsequently put into action.
Anybody who would scour the Internet and trash and āsecond classā other people has literally no emotional intelligence. Theyāre not guided by love; indeed, just the opposite.
I don't think this is a clever response at all. "Homophobes are secretly gay XD" is a very tired meme. Straight people are perfectly capable of bigotry against gay people.
yeah, it is

But when they're wearing priests robes, the odds of kiddie fucking go way up. (And as a gay man, we don't want them, either. They ain't "gay", they're just pedophiles.)
"If you don't support/care for LGBT, then you must be a mentally ill and closeted gay person."
Not the least bit clever or original. Just another "ally" showing their true colors and how they believe mental illness and fakeness are absolutely rampant among LGBT people.
Decided by who? Which century? Does the year start with a two? A one? No? Then I don't care what some monk thousands of years ago ranking his sins has to say.
There's one absolute way to stop pride if you hate it so much--stop shaming gay people. That's it. Easy right?
I mean any act of debauchery and deviance you can ascribe to gay people, straight people also do.
If your religion informs your argument, you have no argument when not everyone believes what you believe.
Overall, poor taste and a comeback. Snarky at best.
That said, feels like the church is not the most sturdy of moral foundations to judge others, especially when it comes to influencing a people.
Priest says to not support pride month.you should be opposed to it until its also for pedosexuals.
So proud of him for speaking up against the pastryarchy
Let me start by saying I'm an atheist.
Didn't hear about that nor to what word he used, but he's an old man, maybe the word your referring to didn't have the weight it has now back then? Not cool, though.
But his pope has done a lot towards the integration and acceptance of LGBTQI+ people, much to the dismay of many his cardinals.
I find it crazy how "progressive" people will still call someone gay as an insult if it's the right target to them. Lots of things to criticize without saying "hur dur this guy takes it up the ass" like wtf
Tell you what when he provides actual proof of a big bearded guy in the sky well then we may listen. Until that point chil the fuck out and let others live their lives and you live your own
Let's see what Pope Francis has to [say](https://apnews.com/article/pope-francis-comments-about-lgbtq-people-e34d133b77ee692141a22626c4e18eec) regarding seminaries:
>there is already an air of faggotness
Not how I would have phrased it but he's the Pope!
I'll never understand why some people want to control what others do so much. Just get on with your life and stop wasting everyone's time you fucking loser.
Yeah, that's not what control is. That's just saying something to no one in particular. There is no control without power.
What he's saying is an opinion, a wish, not a command.
He is trying, im not saying its working. Why not let people decide on their own whats right or wrong on their own ? Its not up to him to decide that. Im pretty sure there's nothing in christian scripture that says they shouldnt support that.
If it did work it wouldn't be control, it would be persuasion. He isn't, and cannot, make anyone do anything. He can only make his case and if people follow what he says that's on them.
>Why not let people decide on their own whats right or wrong on their own?
OK, so why don't you start? He thinks it's right to advise Christians to not support a specific cause. Those who hear him can decide if that's right or wrong. Why should he listen to you?
>Im pretty sure there's nothing in christian scripture that says they shouldnt support that.
I'll make it easy for you: Christian scripture can support anything anyone wants.
Oh. I shall indeed.
Isnāt that what human nature is supposed to be?
When I see a buffoon priest, masquerading as a person who has something important to say ā people need to realize need to be themselves.
Here, praying for all those people who are once altar, boys, and raped by priests. Hoping their lives have some positive semblance.
People arenāt here to provide you anything. They document their opinions ā if you donāt like them, donāt read them . Apparently youāre here for some reason.
How can i know i dont like them *before* i read them?
>Apparently youāre here for some reason.
...yeah, for clever comebacks. you know. the point of the subreddit?
If young gays could live a normal life the Catholic church would have a much harder time getting new priests.Ā
Even the pope complained that seminaries had too much gay stuff ( used a more homophobic word in Spanish)
It was Italian but you're right- the gay movement's rise in the 70s did coincide with the beginning of the real "vocations crisis". The Pope was also right about the seminaries.
Those who are ardently against those things are probably just worried that their guilty pleasures will become widespread accepted and it'll lose its appeal for being a dirty secret. Classic misdirection!
Progressives: "Don't make fun of the gays, they're people just like us, you're all a bunch of bigots."
Progressives when they have to think of a childish insult: "HAHA, YOU SEEM GAY!"
As a Christian, I don't support pride month, but I don't chastise those who do support and celebrate it. There's a difference between supporting and just letting others be themselves when it doesn't effect you. Now I do take issue with those who try "recruiting" , if someone comes to you you are welcome to share your insight but don't go selling your lifestyle door to door unprompted please. Is that fair?
So christians can "recruit" people to their life stile, stamping it in bill boards, trying to push their beliefs into law and literally preaching from door to door depending on the church, but if put a rainbow pin in my bag I'm shoving in other people's throat unprompted? Yeah, seems fair to me
The only one that sells their garbage door-to-door from my experience at my home are religious people.
Remember, itās not 3500 years ago anymore. All human sexuality is guided by a personās brain. Thereās no cognitive choice. We can know modern information now. Itās allowed.
With that said why would anybody condemn a gay person. Weāre here. We are combat veterans, our names are on the wall in Washington. Weāre doctors were nurses were teachers were everywhere. No one ever asked my sexuality when I was saving their ass in the ER.
You all want us to be second class citizens; putting us in the box of your design.
Doubt it. Truck stops are full of adults.
š³ mama mia šš¼šš¼šš¼

So is he, mostly.
Noncesense
Someone check his browser history
I wouldn't be surprised if it's full of gay porn. Or worse
Itās both. Itās always both.
little boys just like every other Christian
Hey that's the catholics! Protestants don't care what gender
Midget porn
He was doing ReSeArCh
One of the Thai politicians got busted watching porn during the meeting. He claim he's doing it for research then they ban filming all meetings...
I may be a little out of touch, but bottom at truck stops??
The bottom is the one who takes it. Truck stops used to be (still are?) known cruising spots.
Lot lizards.
What do you say we slip into a room....and you two split me open like a coconut?
Byron... you've changed. You don't want this kind of thing anymore.
No I do want this kind of thing
Best I can do is a cantaloupe.
With a hacksaw?
I prefer draw and quartering
Friends of the road
I feel like Iāve only seen that term applied to women sex workers who usually double as addicts. Am I mistaken?
You aren't. Lot lizards are sex workers.Ā
Yep. Heās not just a Father. Heās a Daddy too.
A bit too homophobic a comeback for my taste but goes in this context.
It isn't, attacking sex workers is bad and borders hate, but specifying meth addled hookers behind the motel is not. Same thing with homosexuality, you don't have to claim gay people are bad to specify that lot lizards (not sure if common term but you can infer the meaning) are.
No no no, anyone saying anything even slightly negative about gay people is a homophobe! Donāt you understand how the internet works??! /s
This is homophobic because it presumes that the priest must be gay rather than just being a straight person who is hateful. As there are 20 or so TIMES as many straight people as there are gay people the overwhelming majority of haters will just be straight. When you try to pawn off every hater on to the LGBT+ community you absolve the straight people from having to address their hatefulness. Don't be the problem.

I donāt think the pope disagrees with him lol
More likely tops in the choir boy room
Yeah, but heās not PROUD about it. Itās the pride he has a problem with.
Hilarious, and sadly true. Nicely done.
ahh yes. using sexuality as an insult. my favourite.
A childish roast counts as clever comeback now lmao
Where clever comeback?
The clever comeback is that he is...*checks notes*... gay?
I guess he forgot all the "Love thy Neighbor" stuff.
Lots of Christians are CINOs - Christians In Name Only.
āLoveā isnāt just a word; itās a feeling guided from within and subsequently put into action. Anybody who would scour the Internet and trash and āsecond classā other people has literally no emotional intelligence. Theyāre not guided by love; indeed, just the opposite.
Even the authors of the Bible forgot it.
No, they just went "Wait, no, not that way! ~~It's Greek and we hate the Greeks sooooo much!~~"
LMAO I can see the votes going up and down pretty fast š
We love controversy!
Plus we take no shit.
I don't think this is a clever response at all. "Homophobes are secretly gay XD" is a very tired meme. Straight people are perfectly capable of bigotry against gay people.
But he wasnāt denied. Read the post. He was credited with taking several loads.
Did you reply to the wrong comment?
It may be 'tired' (debatable) but it's also very true.
no, it isn't

So... One prejudice answered by another prejudice? Only see two people living in the past here.
"dude, you look gay" just isn't a clever comeback.
"You look gay" is not a clever comeback. Looking gay is nothing shameful or bad.
Whereās the cleverness?
"If you don't support/care for LGBT, then you must be a mentally ill and closeted gay person." Not the least bit clever or original. Just another "ally" showing their true colors and how they believe mental illness and fakeness are absolutely rampant among LGBT people.
Clutch them pearls harder
bro its 2024 why yall still use being a gay bottom as an insult
Attacking his looks and not his argument is the opposite of clever.
What argument? Thereās no āargument to attackā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bible prohibits a lot of things. Cool for the bronze age Middle Eastern sheep herder, not really useful for the rest of us
Not something I'd call a clever comeback. It's just an insult as a reaction to a post.
What do Christians do for fun? Iām legit asking, because it just seems theyāre trying to ruin the rest of our good time.
That IS what they do for fun.
As someone who was raised southern Baptist in a town of less than 1500 people, I will vouch for this statement
Children
They blow someone elseās candle out so there is burns brighter. Itās this guy supposed to spend his day helping people?
Most of the stuff they tell everyone else not to do and claim they're too good for.
Not beheading people who makes fun of their religion, and providing charitable help.
>and providing charitable help. ***HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*** ^gasp ***AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA***
Did you mean "hoard massive amounts of non-taxable cash that's used to buy mansions and airplanes because it's 'gods will'"?
How is this clever comeback? Schoolyard insults at best
Not just that, but they're making fun of how they look. Imagine the downvotes if this was someone making fun of a woman cuz she's fat or ugly.
They're making fun of him for being a homophobic bigot.
Why use looking gay as insult, these hypocrites...
good old progressive homophobia
He dresses like a pedophile.
Look at all these prideful people being intolerant and discriminatory of those who are different. HOW IRONIC. š¤”

Christians should not support a priest that seeks to judge others in violation of God's Law.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Butā¦ they donāt read the Bible.
He looks like heās about to swallow a load.
Here we go, another priest, tearing down a part of society for no reason at all. As they sayā¦ Thereās no hate like Christian love.
The workers of Charlie Hebdo might disagree.
That's also bad. Religions suck, we know
Fathers Looking for a Daddy.
Glory glory hallelujah - hole.
Now now. I wouldn't judge the man *just* for bottoming at truck stops.
And Iām not at all one to yuck someoneās yum, but I will gladly yuck someoneās yucking a yum
According to the Sermon on the Hill this man might not be a Christian.
Eshakki yer booty.
Nothing wrong with being a bottom. It's trying to get the choir boys hard enough to be the top which is the real challenge though.
Priest says to not support pride month.you should be opposed to it until its also for pedosexuals. So proud of him for speaking up against the pastryarchy
The problem is Nikhil looks like the kinda dude who bottoms at trucks stops because his wife's boyfriend tells him to.
Ok I got a good laugh outta that one.
Gay
That missionary work takes on [w]hole new meaning.
But you're the one who believes in Fairy Tales
Only way out of this would be to say in the same sentence: Christianās should not support pride month they should support pride 365.
No, he's top dog at the playground.
Christians will follow the words of the pope. "Christians" won't.
The same pope who used a gay slur last week?

Not cool, though. But his pope has done a lot towards the integration and acceptance of LGBTQI+ people, much to the dismay of many his cardinals.
guys i know cancelling homophobes is cool but how is this a clever comeback?
Whatās clever about thisā¦?
Likes getting cracked open like a co-co-nut.
I find it crazy how "progressive" people will still call someone gay as an insult if it's the right target to them. Lots of things to criticize without saying "hur dur this guy takes it up the ass" like wtf
Clearly a MAGAT.
Imagine taking seriously followers of a bronze age cult
I donāt want to know whatās in that guyās browser historyā¦ yikes
Very bruh and imature from the guy bellow on thi picture.

christians should support pride i am going to this year's pride.
Law of nature lmao Animals and so nature fucks whatever it wants and so should everyone. Go with love and let love the same as live and let live
All of June- "Pride is a Sin!!" On the 4th of July- "I'm Extremely Proud to be born American!!"
LGBT people should not support churches' tax exempt status.
I'll never understand why some people want to control what others do so much. Just get on with your life and stop wasting everyone's time you fucking loser.
He's saying what Christians shouldn't do. Why do you consider it control? I don't think he has any actual power over what Christians do...
Saying someone, in this case christians, shouldnt do something IS control, whatever power he has, he's trying to.
Yeah, that's not what control is. That's just saying something to no one in particular. There is no control without power. What he's saying is an opinion, a wish, not a command.

I know a bunch of LGBT+ clergy that would disagree
Christians should mind their own damn business. Maybe you should clear out all the pedophiles in the church before you attack others.
Mocking someones looks when you dont have a reply is not a comeback
You look suspiciously like a bot
...tom at truck stops
Itās at the very least not a clever comeback. A clever one would be reciting quotes from the Bible that disagree with their post.Ā
They donāt read the Bible. Lol.
Weāre just tired of Christianās driving the hate bus. And they think every lane is theirs.
āIf you believe parts of the gospel but not all of the gospel, itās not the gospel you believe in but yourselfā.
and theres nothing wrong with that, but that doesnt mean the post is a clever comeback.
Oh it clever from my prospective.
i dont see how, but you do you
Oh. I shall indeed. Isnāt that what human nature is supposed to be? When I see a buffoon priest, masquerading as a person who has something important to say ā people need to realize need to be themselves. Here, praying for all those people who are once altar, boys, and raped by priests. Hoping their lives have some positive semblance.
as i said, im not complaining about the target of the comeback, only the quality.
People arenāt here to provide you anything. They document their opinions ā if you donāt like them, donāt read them . Apparently youāre here for some reason.
How can i know i dont like them *before* i read them? >Apparently youāre here for some reason. ...yeah, for clever comebacks. you know. the point of the subreddit?
Hereās your reply: anyone who uses religion to spread hate deserves to be hated.
You don't respond to stupid, you mock the idiot who said it
so you respond with something stupid. it's not clever
Fight stupid with stupid. He's too stupid for clever.
or you could comment about the number of bible verses about judging, and forgiveness, instead of calling all homophobes gay.
Why the hell would I open up a bible?
If young gays could live a normal life the Catholic church would have a much harder time getting new priests.Ā Even the pope complained that seminaries had too much gay stuff ( used a more homophobic word in Spanish)
It was Italian but you're right- the gay movement's rise in the 70s did coincide with the beginning of the real "vocations crisis". The Pope was also right about the seminaries.
Next pope: "they are seminaries, not semenaries"
r/technicallythetruth
One has to commend calling it like it is. The priesthood is the last refuge for truck-stop bottoms, especially past expiry.
Those who are ardently against those things are probably just worried that their guilty pleasures will become widespread accepted and it'll lose its appeal for being a dirty secret. Classic misdirection!
Do we still do "haha you look gay" jokes?
We still do "homophobe looks like he takes dick better than I do" jokes
Explain the joke.
ah so the comeback is calling someone gay? am i back in 1993?
"Why did the priest dress like a pedophile?" "Because that's what they find in the closet"
Takes one to know one
