@fernfieldflower @soledadobrien Most people work hard. If working hard was all it took to be a billionaire, there’d be a lot more billionaires.

@lleahgold @DPumagualle @ananavarro @Lin_Manuel Why would anyone be talking about “same sex parents fucking each other”?

When we acknowledge the existence of hetero couples, is that about sex? Or just normal human relationships?

People in same sex couples have normal human relationships. It’s not all about fucking, weirdo.

@htownastro @JeremySWallace @BetoORourke You are so excited about dunking on me that you keep saying dumb things.

This wasn’t legislation. It was an executive order, later overturned by the courts.

Democratic legislators did not pass any laws about vax mandates. You are either lying or misinformed. Check yourself.

[Beth @McphailBeth]

@htownastro @JeremySWallace @BetoORourke Literally no mention of legislation in that article. Just a hospital policy.

Come on, man. Don’t be calling people morons when you’re busy throwing around lies and they call you on it. Words have meanings.

@Welder_Jack69 @Henry43194920 @DPumagualle @ananavarro @Lin_Manuel Wow, hon. All that anger you have inside you for someone you’ve never even met and nevertheless have completely mischaracterized. That sounds like a rough way to live your life.

All it takes to heal is a little empathy. Try it! It’s nice!

Nobody likes mean people.

@JeanneDeauxSays @washingtonpost Fascinating. The word “blow jobs” doesn’t appear in the bill at all, so you seem to be paraphrasing here. Are you saying you believe “sexual orientation and gender identity” just means “blow jobs”?

😬yikes. Sounds like you need better schools, dude. You sound pretty uneducated.

@LintheQ @Henry43194920 @DPumagualle @ananavarro @Lin_Manuel Spell it out for me. Explain how my correct identification of homophobic sentiments is bigotry. I’m fascinated by this line of reasoning.

[Beth @McphailBeth]

@htownastro @JeremySWallace @BetoORourke Hey Bruce! No legislation of this sort was passed. Maybe you should check your sources?

@RipWhee81121102 @JeremySWallace @BetoORourke What plans has Abbott floated to help with the nursing shortage?

[Beth @McphailBeth]

@LintheQ @Henry43194920 @DPumagualle @ananavarro @Lin_Manuel Are you asking me if I believe it’s homophobic to claim that being gay isn’t a normal thing?

Yeah man, I stand by that. Not sure how it can be characterized as bigotry, but I know some people feel the need to lash out when someone else points out their bigotry.

@HelmMatthews @equalityAlec Here’s the issue though - the majority of the time I hear the term “defund the police,” it’s being incorrectly tied to Dem politicians by disingenuous right wing politicians and commentators.

@AlexRiv33872112 @Henry43194920 @DPumagualle @ananavarro @Lin_Manuel Oh, Alex. I’m not offended by the words. I’m offended by the hatred and the willingness to dehumanize people one doesn’t agree with. I recognize that’s kind of a high-level concept tho. It’s okay if you’re not there yet.

[Beth @McphailBeth]

@Henry43194920 @DPumagualle @ananavarro @Lin_Manuel I may use the word “fuck” for emphasis but I don’t call people nasty names.

You should really examine your attitudes about LGBTQ folks, esp if you are going to keep claiming one as a friend.

I believe there’s hope, even for someone as hate-filled as you.🙏

Bye now.

[Beth @McphailBeth]

@Henry43194920 @DPumagualle @ananavarro @Lin_Manuel Real gem of a parent we got here. I hope someday your kids read the kind of language you use to talk about others.

[Beth @McphailBeth]

@Henry43194920 @DPumagualle @ananavarro @Lin_Manuel Acknowledging that gay and trans ppl exist and there is nothing wrong with them is not the same as an orgy, but go ahead with your overblown rhetoric.

It’s YOUR homophobic/transphobic garbage that should be kept away from kids. Don’t teach kids to hate others.

[Beth @McphailBeth]

@Henry43194920 @DPumagualle @ananavarro @Lin_Manuel BEING GAY IS NORMAL. I prefer to teach the truth, not homophobic nonsense.

[Beth @McphailBeth]

@Henry43194920 @DPumagualle @ananavarro @Lin_Manuel Your best friend is “a gay,” but you don’t think it’s a normal way to be?

Yikes. I hope your friend never finds out how you really feel. That’s fucked up, man.

Being gay IS normal. And if you’re trying to argue otherwise, you’re being homophobic.

[Beth @McphailBeth]

@Henry43194920 @DPumagualle @ananavarro @Lin_Manuel “Teach them that garbage”?

What fucking garbage are you talking about? The existence of people who are gay? That’s just facts! Yes, I want to teach them that!

[Beth @McphailBeth]

@Henry43194920 @DPumagualle @ananavarro @Lin_Manuel Dude. The tooth fairy is fictional. Gay people are real. I don’t want or need kids to “grow out of” knowing that they exist. We are preparing kids for a world in which gay people are very real and have the same rights as everyone else. You want to hide their existence from kids?

[Beth @McphailBeth]

@Henry43194920 @DPumagualle @ananavarro @Lin_Manuel And why on earth shouldn’t young people know that there are gay people? Why do you want to erase that population? THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING GAY. Kids’ heads won’t explode bc they learn that some people love people of the same gender.

[Beth @McphailBeth]

@Henry43194920 @DPumagualle @ananavarro @Lin_Manuel Regardless of what you think is the reason for this law, it explicitly says there can be no mention of sexual orientation. In other words, teachers can’t tell 3rd graders that gay people exist.

So when a kid asks why someone has two moms, how should teachers respond?
