How dare Rick Rubin. Gross.
Y'all, Kid Rock singing about sexually preying on children doesn't matter to Christofascists. That was his "former life." He's "born again," an ordained minister, and is making a gospel album. He's got, like, the perfect evangelical testimony.

Greatest irony is that the same groups who tout “parental rights” supremacy are also now campaigning against LGBTQ marriage rights because “what adults want shouldn’t be more important than a child’s needs”. Apparently kids need a male parent, but don’t need to survive polio.

This is absolutely unacceptable for a child protection expert and is a violation of so many best practices. Knowing queer people are not a threat to children is Abuse 101. 🤦🏻♂️😤

I have to admit: James Dobson in the #EpsteinFiles is not something I had on my Bingo card. He wasn't a direct predator but it seems he *was* a resource for them.
Robert Evans underestimated it when he called Dobson a bastard.

Dobson was definitely one of the demi-gods often quoted in my fundamentalist evangelical upbringing in the 1980s. He's definitely a contributor to my leaving organized religion and never returning. Once you let yourself think rationally, these views are immoral and just crazy.
