He doesn't look like a mom either.
Oh, he looks like a mother... Nevermind.
Technically it would be a son... Nevermind.
i like how moms for liberty's whole thing is that trans women are taking away opportunities from cis women and yet the leader of moms for liberty is a cis man.
I would never cease to point out to them how liberal it is that they don't discriminate by gender for the leader of Mom's for Liberty.
Fenerty said he was unaware of Fisher’s conviction until asked about it by The Inquirer last week.
Are they not doing background checks on these idiots before hiring them?
And spend money?
Perish the thought.
You're talking about a group that doesn't even read the books they want to ban.

It’s almost like they recruit them.
There's an obligatory reminder that he is not a drag queen that should go here. Since conservatives keep insisting that drag queens are all (or mostly) pedophiles.
Not a drag queen, but a Republican grifter, again.

I love how there's one pissed off pedo/Republican down voting everyone in here.
If Republicans had an ounce of good faith I might wag a finger at conflating then with pedos. However they do not so I find this fucking hilarious

The national Moms for Liberty organization held a summit in Philadelphia this past summer, where denying transgender identity for children and removing books from school libraries were major themes.
Meanwhile, back at his church:
Fisher has supported Trump’s campaigns; a 2020 report by WHYY included a mural in support of Trump that Fisher said was painted on an exterior wall of his church by children he worked with in his congregation.
The charging documents allege that Fisher had oral and anal sex with the 14-year-old boy in January 2011
Fisher said he took the plea bargain to get out of the county jail, where he said he experienced violence from other prisoners.
Wew. That was a wild ride.
Yeah that’s enough internet for the day..
Anybody really surprised by such a relevation?
I'm sure some are, but they shouldn't be. Meanwhile, the MFL assholes are probably claiming it's all just a smear campaign.
Yeah, those pesky lefties and their time machines going back in time to frame good people years before they joined MFL. When will they learn that neo-cons are smarter than them and will quickly figure out their conspiracy while failing to provide any evidence every single time.

The dude running my local M4L has strong pedo vibes.
Any time another dude is more interested in someone's kids than their parents are? Alarm bells.
I get it, there are lots of well meaning men who care about kids. Unfortunately they present the same way as predators, and I err on the side of caution.
Men are not the only ones who can sexually abuse children.
It's a numbers game. I have to deal with the same thing in my field- men are not allowed to provide one-on-one hygiene care (bathing, toileting, cleaning waste) for female adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
Since we're talking about children instead of my field, 96% of people who sexually abuse children are male. Even factoring in that female perpetrators might be underreported, that is a stark number, so when people say they err on the side of caution, I'm sure you can see why only using female staff for this job would seem safer.
Are there perfectly healthy, nurturing men who pay the price? Of course. But not as many of them as potential sexual predators it seems.
Fuck me sideways, I've never seen such a perfect response to essentially a 'not all men' comment (granted this is the more unusual flavor of 'not just men's but still)
Thank you!
It's a response I developed explaining to people why men aren't allowed to work alone with women in my field. I often throw in, "If you were a predator, what kind of job would you look for?"
People with developmental and intellectual disabilities are five times as likely to face this abuse as their neurologically typical peers, because many of them can't report that abuse as effectively.
It's my experience that the few men of the world who find this stricture upsetting do so because either they are pretending to be one of the "good" ones in order to get close enough to abuse someone, or because they believe themselves incapable of abuse and chafe at being paint with the same brush. To them I always ask; which is more important to you, that you aren't being seen as a potential predator, or that we have a system designed to keep as many people as possible, as safe as possible? Because we can't have both.

Obviously but statistics exist and you know who MOST offenders are? Men.
Fisher said he took the plea bargain to get out of the county jail, where he said he experienced violence from other prisoners.
So he used his position as a pastor in the African American community to advocate for prison reform, right? That seems like it'd be a pretty popular position in that community.
You say he instead decided to demonize trans kids? Well, ok, then.
Moms For Liberty, more like Assholes with Casseroles.
Karens with Time
At this point, I think I'm more surprised when the Republicans have an upstanding patron that isn't a pedophile, rapist, or crazy religious figure.
You seriously can't make this up any more.
It's usually all three at once
Everytime.
The call is coming from inside the house...
Gosh, it's almost like pedophilia and sexual abuse is a solid Republican value at this point.
