religious freedom

something the republicans cite whenever they want to discriminate against lgbt people, but forget about when they literally ban muslims.
the republicans have lost all right to use the term “religious freedom.”
a bullsh-t excuse used by conservatives and the religious right to justify using their beliefs as weapons to preach against others who don’t believe in what they do. they claim that their right to speech (hate and discriminate) against anything they find immoral or against their ideology should be protected and legalizing something like abortion or same-s-x marriage would infringe on their rights and hurt their “religious freedom” (to hate).

mike: …i’m sorry you feel that way. we’re not going to marry in a church. the county is going to marry us.
tom: f-ck that. that’s wrong and i don’t agree. don’t forget to send me an invite, f-ggot. i’m going to be there with my posse to protest that sh-t. i’m a christian and you can’t force that g-y sh-t on me.
