Seminary student expelled after years of graduate work for having a valid same sex marriage that would be celebrated as a marriage in many mainline Christian denominations.
This is religious freedom?
So says Bill Barr.

latimes.com/california/sto…
This marriage is valid in all 50 states, could be reported in the New York Times and even the Social Register, could be celebrated by an Episcopal priest or bishop under marriage rites in the Book of Common Prayer ....
But it's an expulsion offense in a seminary?
Sad.
Why don't they just rename this the "William Barr Theological Seminary" so at least students know what they're getting into?

We need more whistleblowers like this man. He lost his job for exposing fraud. The guys he blew the whistle on got 10 years in the slammer.

Because Gene blew the whistle, Vilar and Tanaka went to prison. The Amerindo victims got most of their money back. Without him, none of this would have happened.
But his honesty came at a price–Gene was heavily retaliated against by Bear Stearns. He was chastised, fired, and sued
And Bear Stearns went bust in 2008.
A house of cards.

Single payer health care.
Non-negotiable for a Conservative U.K. government.
But Warren and Sanders are attacked by fellow Democrats for suggesting it in the U.S.?

PM Johnson says UK would walk away from US trade talks if NHS was on the table news.yahoo.com/pm-johnson-say… via @Yahoo
@Yahoo Follow the money.
Of the U.S. politicians who oppose single payer health insurance, how many own stock in or get campaign contributions from insurance companies, health care providers, drug companies and/or medical device companies?
@Yahoo Of course @realDonaldTrump wants to use trade talks to take apart the U.K.'s single payer health care system. That would give U.S. medical device companies and drug companies a big market to sell products at the same price they sell for here. Then go for Canada, Australia ...

Remember the corrupt 2018 "Smith Amendment" that tried to attach a land swap for dangerous sulfide mining to a defense appropriation bill?
Now another senator tries the same trick. The Inhofe Amendment will flood his neighbors to save his own lake view.

“He’s helping his buddies to make sure the lake is full during summer so those very big boats do well,” said Rebecca Jim of Local Environmental Action Demanded ....
Let me guess.
These "buddies" do / do not contribute to his senate campaign?

Same sex marriage from 4 years old, gender theory from 6, all the rest of LGBT from 7. Age appropriate?

The Diocese of Coventry owns the school building. Pressure could surely be brought to bare.

Transgender As A Form Of Social Contagion.

I'm going to cover five different periods of time, and what I believe are four different changes within society. The backstory is needed to set up the first change, and I'll cover the ways in which that change increased exposure.
2/
I'll also be taking some breaks as I write. The parts are -

1). Before mid-to-late 90's.
2). Rise of Transgender and adding "T" to LGB.
3). Butch Lesbian out-migration
4). Rise of social media and self-identification.
5). Development of ROGD as a phenomenon.
3/ The Early Years

Transsexuality started as a study of a different type of person from the usual cross-dressers and transvestites[1]
from what were commonly seen by therapists and sexologists. These were people who sought physical changes.

[1] Descriptive, not pejorative

*Mega Thread* containing over 125 elected antisemitic @uklabour officials

Labour was an anti-racist political party but then @jeremycorbyn became leader with his garbled world view of Israel, and like many of his fans, he can't differentiate from anti-Israel views & antisemitism
1: People like ALAN BULL a Holocaust denier were protected by @jeremycorbyn's inner circle because they thought he might stand a chance of winning a marginal seat

NB: his partner is now a councillor in Peterborough
2: ALAN MYERS @Uklabour council candidate was suspended for stating:"if you say anything against them they cry antisemitism & harp back to the holocaust to curry sympathy"

Has he been expelled from Labour for this form of Holocaust revisionism? Who knows? thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/15250825.…
