German Catholics Voted for Greater Transgender Inclusion and blessings for same gender couples

From March 9th to 11th, the more than 200 members of the assembly will consider whether to approve two LGBTQ-related documents, one about same-gender blessings and one about gender identity, which come from the Synodal Way’s working group on sexuality and relationships. Both documents are on their second reading, which means if a majority of assembly members and two-thirds of the bishops members vote in favor, the texts are formally adopted.

Today, 11-March-2023, the assembly of the Synodal Way in Germany overwhelmingly approved a document appealing for “concrete improvements” in the church for transgender and intersex people. The document seeks the full inclusion of gender diverse people in the sacramental and pastoral life of the church, as well as a reconsideration of Catholic teachings on gender.

Yesterday, 10-March-2023, the assembly of the Synodal Way in Germany formally and overwhelmingly approved a document that calls for the church to bless same-gender couples. 92.6% of the assembly’s members, which include both bishops and lay leaders, voted for the document, including 80.1% of participating bishops. The document also objects forthrightly to the Vatican’s ban on such blessings, too.

Do not assume that this will be a slam dunk when it comes to the people's vote. We will have to work very hard on a get out the vote campaign, otherwise we may lose when it come to the final vote. Organizations like the ADF, Liberty, and the Roman Catholic Church will work very hard against this referendum. Oddly, the LDS Church may support us this time around. Remember, they supported the Respect for marriage act.

Keep in mind who the political leader, prime minister, Viktor Orbán is. A Trumpian right wing-nut.

To the members of the Jacksonville First Baptist Church who sign this pledge, welcome to the New Westboro Baptist Church. Good job, throwing Jesus and his gospel out with the bathwater. Your well on your way to becoming a Southern Poverty Law Center designated hate group.

As a retired health care provider, I believe that eliminating a step in protocol is inappropriate especially when it involves irreversible procedures used in gender care. For such care to be creditable, there must be a diagnosis of gender dysphoria by a health care provider that is qualified to make that diagnosis. This is why lawmakers need to stay out of the business overriding well thought out medical protocols. No professional organization, that I know of, has suggested dropping the diagnosis of gender dysphoria by a qualified health care professional before a plan of gender care is initiated.

SCOTUS has an easy out of this case if they don't really want to get involved. Petitioners, 303 Creative, LLC, Lorie Smith, does not have standing to bring this case because they have not experienced a concrete harm. However, the conservative Christian nationalist justices have already indicated they are willing to throw out the test for standing in favor of "just discrimination" masquerading as "religious liberty."

One of the things that has happened in the central valley is that a significant number of registered Republicans have changed their registration to No Political Party (NPP). That means they cannot vote in the partisan primary, but they do vote Republican in the general elections.

Just a gaggle of bigots and homophobes.

Thank you for all your work.
