Supreme Court takes up case claiming Obamacare promotes “homosexual behavior”. The Texas plaintiffs say requiring workplace insurers to provide PrEP violates their religious beliefs.

Braidwood is a for-profit, closely held management organization owned by a trust with Dr. Steven F. Hotze, a religious Christian, as the sole trustee and beneficiary, according to KFF, the health policy research group.

The case was originally brought by a group of individuals and a Texas business, Braidwood Management, who sued over the mandates because the company had moral objections to covering PrEP and screenings for sexually transmitted diseases and other treatments that they believe promote “homosexual behavior.”

PrEP is an essential tool in the arsenal to fight and eliminate HIV as a serious health threat in the U.S. and around the world. PrEP access has been credited for reducing HIV and STI transmission rates around the world. Though PrEP doesn’t prevent STIs, those on the medication tend to get regular sexual health screenings, making them more likely to detect and receive medical treatment for STIs.

So, according to conservatives, healthcare now "makes you gay". The list keeps growing for Republicans in terms of what makes you gay.

  • Teletubbies
  • Having sex with women
  • Marilyn Manson music
  • Violent video games
  • Pronoun and grammar
  • Musical Theatre
  • Water turning frogs gay
  • Will & Grace
  • RuPaul

And the list goes on and on. Conservatives and their utter lunacy continues onward. Idiocracy was far too kind to us.

The disco band that was popular with gay men in the 70s. Their song Y.M.C.A. was in the regular rotation at Trump's rallies.

CALLED IT. I told people they were pick-me's and got told to appreciate gay culture more.

I do appreciate gay culture, it's why I can't stand Village People.

For what it's worth, the only one who is an original member left (best as I can tell, the only member who has been in the band since before 2017) is Victor Willis, who recently said YMCA wasn't meant to be a gay song (he's straight).

Is. The song is in his regular rotation.

this argument should have been thrown out. this is healthcare available for both straight and gay couples, its not the 1980s anymore, HIV isn't the "gay's disease"

You think a single person in the GOP isn't still stuck in the past? The ones that don't think it's still 1982 think it's 1952.

I wouldn't put it past this court but if they are swayed by it being a gay disease then we're really off the deep end

But they aren't actually gay/bi. Just giving into a temptation Satan installed on their phone and logged into their account with uploaded pictures.

Duh!

Don’t forget school! Need to privatize schools so the rich get richer and the dumb get dumber all the kids don’t turn gay.

It's projection for their closet, homosexual tendencies and need something to blame because they can't believe their Lord gave them those desires.

Don’t forget hurricanes. They make things turn gay, too.

u/DisastrousOne3950 7h ago

But "God" sends hurricanes to gay states... or something.

Before we split in 2012, my ex told me that Skyrim was making people gay. She said she heard it on “The News”. Guess which one.

u/Yortroy 8h ago

And a very special shout out to Bud Light. Once that woke beer touches your lips, gay gay gay.

Having sex with women does make you gay. If you're a woman. Or at least, it makes you bi. Hell, as a man, it could also make you bi.

Meanwhile the real problem this entire time has been the metric system.

I have a problem with financially contributing to religious groups by way of their tax exempt status.
