Chick-fil-A Targeted
Today Uganda announced a bill to legalize murdering gay people. National Christian Organization paid a preacher to go to Uganda and help their lawmakers with the bill. Chick-fil-a funds National Christian Org.

If you eat at Chick-fil-a, this is what your money goes to.

Chick-fil-A’s only connection to any of this is that its owners — not the company — through their separate foundation donate to the National Christian Foundation, the 8th-largest nonprofit in the U.S. That foundation works with Christian charitable groups. And there’s a weak connection between a tiny percentage of the groups NCF works with and anti-LGBT ministers in Uganda. Yet connecting those groups to ministers does not connect them to this legislation. Even Snopes admits “it’s not clear to what extent National Christian Foundation-funded entities were involved in the creation or promotion of a bill to make homosexuality punishable by death.”

Warren’s Sneer
I’m a Dem primary voter and have supported marriage equality my whole life, but this answer makes me like Warren less. It’s sneeringly condescending, revels in the failures of another person, and assumes gender for no apparent reason other than to antagonize https://t.co/JGvvUfAp9H

Recall the the moment when Hillary Clinton probably ensured her electoral college loss was when she disparaged Trump supporters as a “basket of despicables” who were racist, sexist and homophobic, and that this happened at a fundraiser with wealthy LGBT supporters in a Manhattan penthouse, with Barbra Streisand providing the entertainment. There, too, the attendees enthusiastically clapped and cheered their support, oblivious to how their candidate’s remarks were likely to be heard outside the liberal bubble.

Beto’s Unsmart Idea (and more)
The leading Democratic candidates have a knack for pushing each other further and further to the left — massive wealth redistribution through taxation, gun confiscation, taxpayer-paid abortion on demand until the point of natural birth, “free” college tuition for all, “cancelation” of student loan obligations, etc. etc. But O’Rourke’s latest proposal is so incendiary it may give the others pause.
.@BetoORourke used to seem like a fresh, independent voice on issues like drugs and even term limits, but now he’s all “we’re going to take your guns and tax your churches because Donald Trump is a dangerous extremist who is a threat to the Bill of Rights.”

Glimpses from the Panderfest
Kamala Harris wants to talk about the safety of trans people and wants to bring up her D.A. credentials but cannot seem to reference the role played by the criminalization of sex work.

Decision Pending
As I’ve said before, it would be interesting if the court were to rule that gay and transgender people are protected from workplace discrimination, and then rule that religious business owners can’t be compelled to create messages and participate in ceremonies that violate their faith. That, however, probably won’t happen.
But Gorsuch! — might be the justice who decides that the Civil Rights Act's workplace protections apply to gay and transgender employees. https://t.co/rLJoQPSGgW via @reason

@brad_polumbo: “Left-wing activists routinely conflate the merits of whether or not gay and transgender people *should* be protected under anti-discrimination law with the question of whether they *are* included under the law.” https://t.co/EpivymnZ3c

LGBTQ teens reject describing themselves as gay or lesbian (that is, as actually homosexual). I wonder how much of this is a trendy and politically correct expression of old-fashioned internalized homophobia.
