“We are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state—we are a moral state,”
Once again, without intending to, Woods demonstrates the disconnect between religion and morality. While the two things are not mutually exclusive, they are very far from the same thing. He evidently conflates his particular brand of Christianity with morality. However, the history of what Christians acting in the name of Christianity have done to their fellow humans doesn't exactly support his claim. Given a free hand, they would create a world where everyone needed permission from the clergy for just about everything.
Hey Woods! A 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙 died. And because they didn't fit into the narrow little boxes your bigoted religious beliefs demand, you call them filth that you want to keep out of Oklahoma. You disgust me.
You and those who agree with you are also in a bigoted state (of thought) and apparently are incapable or unwilling to recognize the realities of gender that some people experience. This doesn't even mention your utter lack of empathy or compassion at the death of a child who was in the process of trying to discover who they were.
You, sir, are despicable ... period, end of discussion.
This shows just how far the NSGOP has moved to the right. Just a few years ago, this sort of call for genocide was limited to the hate preachers of the NIFB. Now it is standard Republican rhetoric. Woods can go fuck himself. With a cactus. Sideways. Sans lubricant.
Further evidence that all the current right wing moral panic on transgender medical care for high school students has nothing to do with concerns over kids but is just LBGTQ animus. A kid is dead and this guy doesn’t give a shit.
After hearing for years, again and again, from every right-wing asshole under the sun, in the most vitriolic rhetoric, that trans people are a danger to the rest of society, that 𝘸𝘦 cannot be allowed to use the bathroom for fear of 𝘶𝘴 hurting 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮, what happens?
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴?
A trans kid gets beaten so badly in a fucking bathroom that they fucking died.
Let this child's face be the answer every time some wingnut fuckhead proposes the next bathroom bill- and the one after that, and the one after that.
A Christian state, Woodsy? Um, no. You may be tied with Georgia as the 8th most devout state in the country, but the country and your state are secular in accordance with the Constitution/secular law.
More relevant is the fact that your 43rd-ranked Oklahoma is also ranked 48th in Education. One can readily see why, given the attitudes of you and your ilk.
I have said many times here that I have been in the gay rights fight for more than fifty years. And this is why. A 16 year old kid was either murdered, or murdered themself after incessant bullying.
It will never surprise me what comes out of the mouth of anti-gay, and now, anti trans chri-stains-- misspelling intentional. There is nothing so horrible that they will not say it, or do it or think it. And the thing is, It sounds an awful lot like hate, and usually is, at the base of it Is what is at the base of all bigotry.
DESPITE AND CONTEMPT.
I am better than you, and I will make sure that you know it. I am better than you and not only will I make sure that you know it, I will do so by justifying whatever harm caused to you .
So much of bigotry is the always present, always assumed, and completely unwarranted faith in a holy-wholly-holey imaginary superiority-- as a chri-stain, as a putative moral person, as a self declared chri-stain, as a "hetero sexual", and as an allegedly human being.
A child is dead, and this chri-stain on humanity feels very righteous about it.
What exactly was the “filth” he was so concerned about? He didn’t elaborate. It was clear, however, that he was referring to an openly non-binary teen. For people like him, all lives mater, including the unborn… unless they grow up to be LGBTQ. In which case their murders are tolerable in the name of Jesus.

One more exhibit on why the FBI needs to take over the investigation of Nex Benedict’s murder. It’s a HATE CRIME with perpetrators in high office.

FILTH ?! FILTH ?! They were an human being who will never have the chance to unfold their wings and fly.
What a great man with greater values such as hitting a woman and belittling people who refuse to conform to his fucked up substandard.
"We want to lower taxes and let people be able to live and work and go to the faith they choose."
Let me guess, as long it's the right flavor of christiansanity.
Jesus Effing Christ. Tom Woods is an effing asshole.
Tom Woods slogan: “Jesus loves me but he can’t stand you.”

No hate quite like Christian love.

Tolerable? Encouraged is more like it.
To Woods IS THE FILTH!!!

Hemant writes so well:
