> But a group of Christian business owners claimed the mandate pushes them to “facilitate homosexual behavior.” Good to know that only homosexuals get AIDS. ---

To be fair, the version of Christ that they worship really was a judgemental prick who hated a lot of people. ---

“And I tell you that you are **Peter** , and on this rock I will **build** my church…” I stand by the Heavenly spelling. Especially considering the guy wearing the hat. 😛 ---

You know, maybe they WILL be met by a guy wearing a Peterb(u)ilt hat, who will lead them to The Big House. But perhaps he’s not the guy they think he is. Maybe he’s the other one, looking like what they’d expect - just to fool them. 👿 Well, if we’re gonna fantasize about make-believe characters why not go all the way? 🙃 ---

As hoped, the MI Supremes [smacked down the rogues on the Board of Canvassers](https://www.fox47news.com/neighborhoods/state-capitol/two-ballot-initiatives-officially-placed-on-the-november-ballot). The proposals go to the voters. Now the Pubs on the Board are pretending that all along they didn’t _really_ mean to derail any proposals, they actually really liked them, they just had to make sure the fonts and stuff were correct, dontcha know. 🙄 Maybe this should go in the Schaudenfreude thread. ---
