      Worse: religion on the other side of the world did this. It was US Evangelicals who spent decades and tons of money to make this happen.

    I see a lot of comments that seem not to have read this relevant part of the article:

    Gombe State, where the arrests took place on Saturday, is also one of the northern states with a Muslim majority where Islamic Sharia law is applied alongside the federal and state judicial systems.

    Under Sharia law, homosexual relations are punishable by death. However, this sentence has never been applied in northern Nigeria. The NSCDC spokesman refused to say whether the suspects arrested on Saturday would be charged under Sharia law or ordinary law.

      Straight up. A while back Nazi incel Nick Fuentes defended child marriage and grooming, and most people in the replies agreed with him.

      The relationship between pedophilia and religiosity/conservatism is as clear as day. Pedocon is as much of a theory as the theory of gravity.

    Does it bother anyone else that the camera isn’t centered between the yellow and green or is it just me?
