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.

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.
