Does anyone think this homophobe would actually be able to do his job professionally and effectively if a gay man was drowning and required mouth-to-mouth?
(Yes I know that the AHA no longer recommends bystanders use mouth-to-mouth with CPR but trained professionals like lifeguards still use it)

As long as we’re talking about bigots demanding the right to punish other people for legal rights: Here’s a couple University of Texas professors demanding to be allowed to punish students for getting abortions.

It’s a clever get-rich scheme for bigots. Win or lose, he can plaster the ring-wing blogosphere (Facebook) with ads talking about how his faith was attacked. The place is full of ‘em pulling down a ton of dosh for their “nonprofits” that “educate” about “religious discrimination.” My FB-using ancestors have their Facebook feed overflowing with the smarmy face of that Colorado baker who refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding and the woman from Kentucky who wouldn’t issue a marriage license for a same-sex couple.
Those grifters know their business!

I don’t see where he requested assignment to a different beach, so this is a self-inflicted wound.

Ah.
No mere ‘lifeguard’ this; turns out he is a philosopher.
I’m with @libelle; I smell a grift.

But pride flags are like fentanyl. He could accidentally touch one and turn gay and/or trans.
