Steven Hotze, a Republican donor from Texas and Houston-area physician, has been on an anti-gay campaign since 1982. In that year he launched a petition in Austin, Texas, to legalize housing discrimination against gay people. He called gays "criminals" and "soldomites". He alleged that giving protection from discrimination to LGBTQ people is "like thieves and murderers trtying to gain political power."

Hotze has tried without success numerous times on numerous anti-gay issues. Until the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in 2015. This idiot launched a "Faith, Family, Freedom" tour using a cacophony of anti-gay slurs from his usual rhetoric saying he was fighting a "wicked, evil" movement to informing the Houston Chronicle that "Kids will be encouraged to practice sodomy in kindergarten."

Now Hotze is suing the US federal government to roll back PrEP. The Supreme Court will hear the case in the next few weeks. As an article in today's Guardian points out, "A decision in his favor could upend healthcare access for LGBTQ+ people across the country – and derail a wide array of preventive treatments for tens of millions in the process."

With another of Trump's idiot as Health Secretary, who is to say what Trump's court will decide.

I don't think he did, and neither did the Guardian. Soldomites, people who have sex with soldering irons, are protected under the constitution.

Yep. It's always been my contention that these people are just closet cases

And a few of the gay haters who are community leaders, actively promote family values or are preachers have in fact been caught in real closets with their pants down.

Indeed, they then cry a lot, preferably on TV, and are forgiven!

On matters of speeling, the Grauniad is hardly a reliable source. Nor ("posing as a somdomite") was the Marquess of Queensberry.

You're right about soldomites, though.

Hail Tpyos!

The Guardian  has got a lot better to be fair, and still tries to report on news, as opposed to the Mail or the Express which have become comics.

Soldierites might work? Especially if Guardsmen?  See Rumpole, ' the Guardsman's defence'. (Showing my age)!

See Churchill :"On the coldest night of the year? It makes you proud to be British!" (On hearing that Ian Harvey had been caught with a guardsman in St James's Park)

Yes, and young teammates who gangbang a drunk girl one of them picks up at a bar. I have a feeling it's more about them seeing each other having sex than being with the girl.
