"You're gay, you don't get loan forgiveness."

"I'm not gay."

"Prove it."

"Prove it? How?"

"Doesn't matter, everybody's gay, nobody gets loan forgiveness."

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

As I read the headline, it's sounds like they are removing LGBTQ organization from the list of places you can work to get loan forgiveness...

So they wont deny your loan forgiveness if you are gay, just if you work for a place that has a mission to help gay people.

Still fucking disgusting, because I would bet that there are christian organizations that still get forgiveness.

Doesn't matter, everybody's gay[...]

And just like that, we've returned to the 2000s.

Republicans don't even speak English anymore. They speak ragebait. Congratulations if you managed to get through that entire first quote without clicking away.

Kiss civil rights goodbye we’re in the turd Reich now

My first reaction was also that it seems like an easy win in court. I hope that’s true

Once you get to the SC they'll just roll ever for Trump

djt Admin over morning coffee: What could we do today to try making them hate us?

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago (7 children)

I need a trumper to explain to me how this isn’t discriminatory. Explain to me like I’m as mentally challenged as your average maga cultist.

[–] Victoriathecompact@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I admittedly stalk the r/conservative and r/republican subreddits.

1% is like "let's not do what the democrats were trying to do to us.. we're better!", 60% is like "yeah take that. Now you know what it feels like!". The rest just post "Thank you President Trump!"

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 days ago

They’re a bunch of knuckle-dragging mouthbreathers. Nothing anyone preaches in that shithole is relevant to anyone outside of their own inbred circus of a choir.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

It is discriminatory. And that's how Trumpers like it. The greatness the MAGA movement wants to return the country to is Jim Crow, segregation, child labor, etc.

They want you back in the mines with no PPE or health plan. You are expected to work until you're no longer useful, and then immediately die.

[–] AniZaeger@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It is discriminatory, and that's the point. He wants to see if he can get away with this, and when he does (because we all know SCOTUS will give him their blessing), he'll move on to people who have the "wrong" choice of religious preference, the "wrong" political beliefs, and the "wrong" immutable characteristics.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

It's all moving toward prohibiting gay and interracial marriage. That's the ultimate goal. You are only allowed to fuck who they allow you to fuck.

[–] Stabbitha@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

What on god's green earth makes you think trumpers want non-discriminatory policies?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Likely they'll say it's to "pay back for DEI".

"It's not discriminatory, you're discriminatory."

Unassailable logic.

Sometimes I wonder what happened to the Gays for Trump crowd. I hope some have changed course. But the ones I’ve been able to look in on seem to be caught in the denial step.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago

I was a high profile gay because I came out in school and they nearly killed me. Won the Mathew Shepard scholarship. Somehow since then my mom has drifted so rightward, she's supporting these assholes now. She told me she's a "member of the log cabin republicans" which is when I told her she's no longer welcome in queer spaces, and cut her off.

She used to be pro-choice. When Roe fell, she said "maybe that's a good thing." I'm 100% sure she'll say the same when Obergefell goes. Maybe Lawrence too. Walking back her rights, her son's rights is OK as long as brown people are getting hurt.

Moments like this are why people like me who are educated either want to leave the US or exit out of society entirely.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 103 points 3 days ago (9 children)

I hope EVERYONE knows they won't be getting ANY loan forgiveness. The whole work in civil service and get forgiveness is a myth and won't be happening.

This seems pretty on brand. Is this surprising anyone?
