Justices signal support for Catholic preschools in clash between religious and LGBTQ+ rights - POLITICO

The Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared inclined to side with Catholic preschools challenging Colorado’s universal pre-K program because the state won’t allow them to exclude children with same-sex parents.  

The Colorado program, approved by voters in 2020, deliberately includes faith-based preschools. But it requires participating schools to abide by the state’s anti-discrimination laws, including protections for LGBTQ+ people…

The Supreme Court faces another term jam-packed with controversy

Among others: St. Mary Catholic Parish in Littleton, Colo., wants the state funding guaranteed in the state's universal pre-k law. But it doesn't want to admit LGBTQ students or students with gay or trans parents. The parish maintains such admissions would violate church's right to the free exercise of religion. The state counters that funding the church school would violate the state's anti-discrimination law…

Pride flag reinstated at Stonewall after it was removed by Trump administration

"We won't let Trump erase LGBTQ+ history. Stonewall was a rebellion. Stonewall was a beginning. Today, Stonewall is a call to action once again," Nadler said in a statement posted online. "I'm proud to be at Stonewall today as we re-raise the Pride flag. It's flying once again." 

The removal of the flag marked the latest effort by the Trump administration to rewrite the country's history by removing material the president and his allies find disagreeable from US national parks and museums. National Park Service workers recently removed panels about enslavement from the walls of the President's House in Philadelphia in response to a presidential executive order…

Christian group ‘deceived’ supreme court about LGBTQ+ research, cited scholars say

"It's deceptive," Rosky said of ADF's selective quotations. "Lawyers owe a duty of candor to the court. You cannot offer false evidence, and if you do so accidentally and find out, you have to correct that … They claim our work supports conversion therapy when our work clearly and specifically condemns conversion therapy on the same page they're citing."

Pride Month vs. the Bible! - YouTube

 Welp it's June, and that means LGBTQIA+ Pride month! At least that's what it means for many. For a minority of people, June is national grumpy homophobe month. One thing about the grumpy set is that they really love to use the Bible to shore up their dogmatic belief that gay folks (and trans and bi and all the other acronym-represented people) are going against God. So let's talk about it. Our first segment is about pride itself. The word, that is. Is the rainbow community committing the worst of the 7 deadly sins every June? Pastor Mark Driscoll sure seems to think so. Then we'll dive into some of the passages of the Bible folks use to justify their anti-LGBTQIA+ stance. Do those passages mean what those people say they mean? And even if they do, are modern believers required to follow them?
