The United States has this thing called the separation of church and state, so if this has to do with religion I would like to inform you now that if would go against our own laws as a country to impose our own religion on others via laws. I would also like to ask you if you could force yourself to have romantic feelings for someone of the same sex as you. If you can't, why would a queer person be able to? Another question I have is, can you yourself stop having romantic feelings towards someone as if you had a switch to turn those feeling off? No? How about simply turning off all romantic feelings for people of the opposite sex? Still no? Then why would a queer person be able to? Someone shouldn't have to live their life alone because the way their brain is wired? Yes, I phrased to make sure it can't be mistaken for a choice because it's not, love is triggered by hormones that aren't consciously produced. We have no control over those feelings, shouldn't be forced to remain alone because of them, and we shouldn't use religion as an excuse to take away other people's rights. Please excuse my bad writing, I have trouble putting thoughts into words.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
