You don’t like gay marriage?
Don’t get gay married.
You don’t like gender-affirming care?
Don’t have any.
You don’t believe in abortion?
Don’t get one.
Your opinion/religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
Uncle Phishy@Strandjunker absolutely! It’s astounding when they say “live your truth” and rally against it thru legislation

@Strandjunker unless you live in an Islamic country or in the US.
Luna chan@Strandjunker This right here.
Leta_Darnell@Strandjunker It has nothing to do with you and hurts no one?
Seems like the important issue isn't that something exists, but that you have a problem with hypothetical people and somehow think schizophrenics should make laws based on that.

👁Pooka🫣Boo🫵@Strandjunker Problem is that their religion(s) has a history of murder and genocide; and in the meantime, the so-called moderate ones pretend it doesn't matter....
jake has moved to mstdn.social@lednaBM yeah. “moderate” basically means “i’m a right-winger but am embarrased to admit it because i know i’m wrong”
Etienne@Strandjunker
I think this answer is right but steril as it miss the point. What about "Don't like Nazism? Don't hate the <insert a too long list here>."
We live in a society where what other think and take care of will have effects on other people. Allowing to be gay or trans, or finally, who you want to be, has consequencies on the whole society and asking people that think those changes are bad not to care is making the situation worse.
We need to tell why freedom is good. Not simple...

Hands Off Christo@Strandjunker "I should follow this person who's being boosted".... Already following. Well put message. I've always thought the same thing
Doug Kappeler@Strandjunker Andrea Junker for congress or anything else she has the desire for, this woman rocks. If she were in charge of Democratic messaging it would be a major step forward.
enoch_exe_inc@Strandjunker This is a profoundly libertarian mindset and it escapes my understanding how so many people who claim to be libertarians could oppose all these things.
MasterMischief@enoch_exe_inc @Strandjunker They do not want freedom, they want freedom only for themselves.
Justin@Strandjunker but muh religion must be forced onto everyone!!!11!!!1! /s
@Strandjunker AND Mind Your Own Business!
@Strandjunker The World and all of it's inhabitants are my business

@Strandjunker as we say in germany: Live and let live.
Julian Crosson-Hill, ACC@Strandjunker As a good friend of mine used to say, "If you don't like it, you can't have any"
MOyster@Strandjunker This is so fucking spot on! Thank you!
poleguy looking for lost tools@Strandjunker I think the argument is "these things don't affect anyone but the people directly involved" so everyone should be free to do what they please, right? However the third example is not quite the same as the first two. Is an embryo not just a tiny human such that we as a society should debate considering them in our laws as a "person directly involved"? Different areas of law treat embryos differently; in homicide cases for instance. Abortion is more nuanced than "don't get one."
Yamainu 🏳️🌈@poleguy @Strandjunker Not even getting into the science vs “has a soul” nonsense, when the folks who want to disallow abortion are also against contraception and sex ed it amounts to a huge attack and denial of rights on anyone capable of childbearing. And somehow the answer and responsibility is always “Don’t have sex, whore,” rather than “Just get a vasectomy.”
@yamainu @Strandjunker I hear you. Many people just repeat talking points and ramble from one thing to another. Few on the religious side understand the mindset of those they are trying to argue with. Most don't listen.
gary@Strandjunker it is your opinion, people decide on their own personal morality, they don't need to be dictated what is correct
Reid 
@Strandjunker you know they don't actually give a shit about abortion, tho, because, if they really wanted to prevent it, they'd support proven solutions like sex ed, and easy and cheap/free access to contraception.
Menno@Strandjunker
The tricky bit about this argument is that the same could be said about slavery, fgm, childhood marriage...
Not saying those are ok, but hey, we have laws against those things, right? How is the intention behind the existing laws different than the intention of people trying to prevent abortion, gay marriage, gender affirming care?
Science, you might say, but for some people the word of an invisible god is more important.
Discuss 😊

@Strandjunker the problem with opinions is that people feel the need to share them 🤷🏻♂️
