I just double checked the ET article and per Politico the SCOTUS ruling was that states can’t ban so-called conversion therapy including that which is intended to dissuade a minor from seeking sex-change, so yay!
Shame on those states who haven’t banned it!!
 
Well, we used to have protection, but ruling like what SCOTUS just made are eroding them quickly.
Evil rot has always been a problem in the world, but godly people are supposed to resist rather than abet it.
The problem stems from the fact that drawing the line regarding moral issues is like waves on the beach:
It is impossible for the line drawn between them not to affect both sides.
Today, more than ever, we should be on the Right. Move Right….
 
Applying GW to politics, for which party should Christians who are U.S. citizens vote later this year--and why?
 
Why are so many people afraid to discuss politics in the U.S.?

Well, the short version is that following WWII the US allowed Marxist professors to infiltrate universities,
which by the 1970s had brainwashed Hilary Clinton to dedicate her doctoral thesis to Sal Alinsky, author of
Rules for Radicals, whose tactics include intimidating political opponents via struggle sessions and lawfare.

Thus, at this time the entire Democrat party and most of the media are essentially Marxists, many subverted
preachers fail to apply Scripture to political issues, and many politicians on the right are RINOs. Only MAGA
led by Trump stands in the way of America being subjugated by fools such as Biden, Harris and Mandami.

People in general balk at conversing anything politically like it’s a sin to speak about it. I find this behavior so incredibly weird!

Yet as Christians, we need to talk about this stuff. This should not be viewed as a private matter, but as a necessary spiritual matter of societal conservation for human intervention.
 
We don't. We don't mix politics with God. We never legislate religion because we become like some fundamentalist Muslim countries.
We can never make someone believe what we want, otherwise the Most High would have made us robots to begin with since The Garden.
We can lead someone to water but we can't make them drink.

This is why we separate these topics.
In this election, i am hoping that Trump wins to counterbalance the insanity from the left.
You just mixed politics with religion.

I find such apathy akin to Esau spurning his blessing.
Incredibly blind and abetting evil.

Yes, I agree.

Isn’t it about recognizing good and evil, talking about the issues, and measuring up the issues with what Jesus teaches us?

Yes, and realizing that so-called Western Civilization is the result of NT morality being salt and light to that part of the world,
so glorify Christ/give credit where credit is due!

Go on……and NOT vote for evil things like Wokism, or rather Vote against such things……
 
Yes, the least we can do is pray and put feet to our prayers by:

voting for the better candidates/party,
contributing to worthy causes (beware of WinRed).
serving as precinct chairs or in election locations if physically able.
At this point in time, Red is much better than Blue. No contest!

I don’t like the Woke agenda, and the Leftist liberalism that is fascist Marxism/ Communism.
 
How might Joshua 6:2, 17 & 21 and 1Sam. 15:3 be applicable to Iran's current governors?

It may be that God is using the USA to punish the evil Iranian leaders,
so that they will not be able to murder their own people or attack other nations any longer.
 
As I flipped my calendar to June, I noticed that on June 1 is written:
"First Day of LGBTQ+ Pride Month".

Do your calendars have this?
(Mine was published by Walmart.)

How does GW apply to this politics?
