#Politics #CityCouncilStJoe
The Council meeting ran three fucking hours long. Good news is they paused all board nominations and will revisit their process. Even better news: the queer-supporting side significantly more speakers. Horrible news: the Christianists told the Council they were put in power by God and that is who they are accountable to for protecting children. Now dinner and a drink because I am completely depleted.
@publickovacs Pity they werenāt put in power by Christ to show mercy, kindness, and hospitality to all.

You are not joking! The Christianists were bitter white cis men, claiming to be oh-so straight (which is always weird to me), all talking about eternal death and an angry God. True descendants of 17-th century Puritans. Sinners in the hands of an angry God, as the title of the famous Puritan sermon goes. Claiming they had a duty and direct word from God to testify. I never had a direct word but I imagine Jesus weeping or projectile vomiting about this behavior.
