NBCOUT Religious freedom or religious restrictions and narrow minded thinking. What you do privately and personally is no one's business. That is freedom.
NBCOUT Hey The 'Q' isn't for Queer!! It stands for QUESTIONING!!
NBCOUT It’s one thing to treat an illness, it’s another thing to placate someone’s hallucination that they can be a different gender than the one they were born unless we agree that that’s an illness within itself.
