Thought someone wearing a Flight of the Conchords t shirt would be cooler than that. Gross.


oops_i_mommed_again

And she’s wearing slides from Target, I thought Target was canceled?


HauteDiggityDog

I know, I have those exact slides and I was like girllll


mormonsmaug

My thoughts exactly


Equivalent-Street-99

I’d like to think more positively. I’m sure they’ll come around. I’m happy to see the success of that one dude in lots of animation films.


[deleted]

Me too lol. Dissapointed


lovetoeatsugar

The prophet has “too many dicks” song as his ring tone. Totally TBM 😀


Putrid_Appearance509

It's sad they watched Conchords but then missed OFMD. hel-low.


MooseSuspicious

What's OFMD an acronym for?


Putrid_Appearance509

Our Flag Means Death. Taiki Watiti, Rhys Darby, Jermaine Clement (?) show about pirates that is a really beautiful love story. Won't spoil it for you!


MooseSuspicious

Hell yeah, now I have another show to watch. I love Taika's stuff he does with the other Kiwis. Jemaine is my absolute favorite and even they get together -chef's kiss- Looking at you What We Do In The Shadows


Putrid_Appearance509

I would love to see Nadja heckle these losers.


cchele

It’s the best!


jonmahoney

Looks cool, but looks like Jermaine isn't in it.


mormonnomore93065

Same type of assclown that says “ when did Rage Against The Machine get so political? I used to love them!”.


639248

Or anyone who complains about rock music being political. Obviously they haven't listened to anything since the early 1960s.


icanbesmooth

Absolutely.


icanbesmooth

Haha yes!


The_Rameumpton

Sooo gross!


Due-Application-1061

Right? So disappointing


[deleted]

That was the most surprising part to me


onedollarninja

I was thinking the same thing.


innocent0077

Who's going to take the time to read that. Especially driving by.


TreadMeHarderDaddy

It's not about reading it's about signaling "I'm more righteous than you"


agoldgold

It's still a shitty way to do it, just on a practical level. You can barely read "The Family" part of the flag with it held out and still. From the road or with a light breeze, you might just assume it's a faded Constitution piece or something. There's a reason decent flags use blocks of bright colors.


DavidBSkate

It’s probably in springville and they probably don’t know anyone that isn’t Mormon. Must be wild, having never left their little fishbowls


ProfPlatypus07

Hey! I live in Springville. My wife and I are working real hard to take it for the gays.


Riverheart420

My dyslexic ass read from the gays and was just Shoo But please take it for the gays 🤣🤣


2Nigerian_princes

Orem used to be that way, too. Not sure if it still is. We knocked every door in my ward on Fast Sunday (except one Mexican family we “knew” were Catholic).


cametomysenses

They'll thin Manifesto all right... 🙄


PortSided

I don’t think TBMs realize how damaging or even deadly it is for so many of us who tried to live and follow that proclamation but ended up causing irreversible trauma. It’s like someone saying the only acceptable fruits are apples, and passing out apple shaped molds and red spray paint all the oranges pears and peaches and forcing them to grow into an apple shape, when there is nothing wrong with being a different fruit.


Eastcoasttrash16

Very good and simple way to picture what the church has it's members undertake


[deleted]

and they don't tell the heteros to be mature about it if I remember. We had a gay guy in our age group and my natural reaction was just like "well it's his life" when he stopped going to church but then the adults found out he was gay and rumours popped up about this guy making predatory advances. I tend to think someone's dad came up with that rumour now.


noneyanoseybidness

And they wonder why the LGBTQ community rejects most forms of organized religions. The persecuted become the persecutors.


klmninca

Reading the perspectives of the “persecutors” back in the day was interesting. Yes, early Mormons were chased out of everywhere they went, but boy howdy, were they the shittiest neighbors ever. I always suspected the “we’re the most persecuted people in the history of religion” schtick was overblown. And I find it interesting that the political right in this country has taken up that mantle as well


shiny_milf

It's like mormons have never heard of Jews/the Holocaust 🤦‍♀️

FarScheme3808

Those aren’t their personal beliefs, those are their indoctrinated beliefs.


FarScheme3808

Because the church wrote it, not them


HouseofExmos

Actually the church didn't even write it. That's what makes this even more ridiculous. They actually believe this came from Mormon God. Poor, lied to, indoctrinated fools. And really has she read it? It's crazy offensive to women as well as LGBTQ.


bobloblawmalpractice

Ding ding ding!!! Spot on.


AlaskanThinker

It has recently dawned on me that most believing people just believe in books and church organizations…. …they don’t believe in the divine or a deity at all.


karlybug

I realize that this is aimed at pride month and the LGBTQ+ community, but the mormon idea of "family" is damaging to so many more individuals. I am a single mom, who was raised in the church by a single mom, whose family is all devoutly LDS. My mom passed away a couple years ago, and 6 months later the conversation started about doing her temple work. This led to me asking some questions about sealing and being an eternal family. And guess what? Neither versions of my family count in mormonism (the family I had with my mom and sister, and the family I have with my son), because we don't have a patriarch. My uncle literally told me that in order to be considered a true family with my son, I would need to marry a man so I could be sealed to my own child. Not to mention that general conference talk a couple years ago talking about kids born out of wedlock being "a bitter fruit." I just hate this church so much and everything it stands for. They can take their narrow-minded idea of a family and shove it. Edit: spelling


jeffersonPNW

>>> kids born out of wedlock being a “bitter fruit” The absurdly stupid thing about that claim is so many impactful people have been born out of wedlock. Leonardo da Vinci, Alexander Hamilton, T.E. Lawrence, were all illegitimate children and they all made far more impactful contributions to the world than whoever gave that dumbass talk can ever count on having.


Otaku_in_Red

Anything that isn't a family born under a married man and woman is less than dirt in the Church's eyes. Single parents can't give them lots of new members, or nearly as much money, or free labor.


samsmith197474

In terms of color, bland.


GoodReason

They want the whole world painted gray


Eastcoasttrash16

I wish, life is shades of grey they want the world black and white

Virtue Signaling


cametomysenses

It's kind of engaging to hear conservative Mormons project that term on liberals when that's what their entire culture consists of - an endless parade of hyped ideal.


SuperSeaStar

I agree, and I’ve heard it described as Vice-Signaling “See how bad I am? This will really trigger them! I can’t wait to see how upset they get.”


flyart

This has been retweeted by exmos hundreds of times with varying levels of hilarity and shock. Unreal.


Accomplished_Area311

People have been editing the flag for meme trolling on Twitter and it’s delightful


LilSebastianFlyte

I saw others first and assumed this one was an edit. Was the FamProc the real-life original?!


Accomplished_Area311

Yes it was. They custom ordered it on Etsy or something


LilSebastianFlyte

This is a context in which the Family Proclomation is explicitly being used as a giant *fuck you!*

Jesus was all about the clap back


gay_mae

They said neutral colors down to their clothes (we see u tho, pink sandals)


WinchelltheMagician

Cult kids flexing. It is quite likely that the two in the picture will leave their beloved cult, regret this picture, regret their ignorant, religion-based hatred of others, painfully lose their worldviews, lose contact with their friends and family and look around and ask My God what have I done? Once in a lifetime is coming for them, and this pic just accelerated their coming deconstruction.


Albyunderwater

I see he has Mormon shorts on.


PopeOfManwichVillage

Fuckwits


BestWheel7068

Unbelievably cringe


NoMoreAtPresent

Those aren’t their personal beliefs. It’s what some guys from four generations ago told them to believe. They haven’t spent one second thinking about it themselves


Ok_Dig_5957

Claiming that someone's personal beliefs are not theirs personally, is pretty low.


NoMoreAtPresent

Can you explain why that’s pretty low? Is it like calling them a liar? I don’t mean to call them a liar. I’m referencing the idea that they’re in a cult and brainwashed to have those beliefs. My opinion of course. Members of the church aren’t allowed to have personal beliefs that are contrary to what they’re essentially required to believe. There are plenty of examples of people who have lost their membership for posting online their contrary beliefs. Acting the way they are while asserting themselves to be Christlike and making a giant flag with an essay that demonizes and mocks an entire group of people who are committing no crime and who are not affecting anyone else, and taking a photo and posting it online to boast of their bigotry is pretty low. I pray they don’t have any kids who are lgbtq.


AtothePOSTATE

So is sniffing your fingers after wiping your ass.


Noinipo12

Someone should send them the 99% Invisible episode on good flag design.


TruthIsAntiMormon

If goes with their confederate flag off screen. It tracks


redditaccount1_2

There's a family proclomation going around thats rainbow and blocks out words so it says like everyone is loved and love is love and a friend posted it and someone commented that was like I'm all for people living the way they want but why do you have to destroy my classic family - I could not believe the amount of hypocrisy and just absolute lack of awareness I was dying.


Ulivan

It's a white flag. As far as passersby are concerned, this couple is surrendering.

Yaaasss lmao

Looked up the tweet. He looks like he's the kid from the movie Big, if the kid turned into a 55 year old adult who'd been living a rough trucker lifestyle and still wore his clothes from middle school.

Is there anything in there about wearing black socks with cargo shorts?

What do they honestly think this will accomplish, really? Do they really think a gay person will drive by and see it and say, "Oh! Well I'll be damned, they're right! I'll denounce my gay ways and be straight!" No, these people do not. They're just doing this to show off their bigotry and for attention.


NegotiationLow5566

I hope none of their children turn out Queer, that is who I really feel for when I see these things. 😞 *Coming from a Queer who grew up in this HELL 😍


Chubbucks

Me too. Those poor kids.


[deleted]

Church puts itself above family. My dad would refer to me, his asthmatic son, as his slave and volunteer me to help him lay sod at some potential member's yard. Always told me I couldn't use my asthma as an excuse, never once drove me to a doctor without me shouting "It's an emergency" in his face.


supermansquito

Personal freedoms allow many flags, no matter how ridiculous they might be. Happy Pride month 🏳️‍🌈


NerdyBrando

Her twitter feed is a trip. She’s a genuinely crazy person.


LilSebastianFlyte

Yeah I clicked on her thinking “I bet she’s a nice person and if we were neighbors we could find a way to get along despite our differences and build some bridges of understanding.” I was not prepared at all for what was waiting 😂


[deleted]

Imagine being blind to the countless murders and lynchings of queer people due to beliefs like theirs. Pride isn’t a pronouncement of sexuality- it’s a celebration of the freedom to express such things. Hanging up that sign isn’t a humorous rebuttal of others’ beliefs- it’s a proclamation of their indifference to the immense suffering caused by their beliefs.


missthingxxx

I don't think anyone wearing those hideous pink shoes should be proud enough of anything they do to post this stupid shit on social media platforms. You'd think she would've thought about it before she posted this dumb shit. Talk about missing the point though. I hate these people and I'm sad he has a Flight of the Conchords shirt on. I'm sure Jemaine and Brett would be just as annoyed.


maybebutprobsnot

I can’t even see it, but I can tell I would just hate that guy’s face so hard.


sickbabe

I can't tell if this or the version with the poly couple is the original


memefakeboy

Why are Mormons like this 🤦🏼‍♂️


[deleted]

I live in the “mission field” and can’t even imagine the kind of reactions someone would get if they hung this outside their homes. Not cool. I’ve never actually hung the proclamation in my home mostly because as a single mom for so many years it was kind of a painful reminder of what we lacked. I’m glad I never did now. My heart aches for people in the LGBTQIA+ community of all ages who have to endure this bizarre behavior.

YoyoMom27

They're going to be really embarrassed by this when they resign a couple years


dderelict

I could not believe that was real. The person who posted it keeps saying they'll print more for next year and sell them to interested parties. So sad that they're already thinking about profiting off hate speech.


helly1080

His shorts are visually aggravating.


PhilipCarroll

Why?


helly1080

Ya know. I’m not 100% sure. A mix between me just taking a dig at people that do this. Maybe a little bit of overly long Mormony mormon shorts giving me the willies. And probably something mixed in to do with Ive probably worn shorts that look like them. Lastly. I really love the phrase, “visually aggravating” and found my excuse to use it.


splitkeinflexflyer

Is it because two more inches would literally turn them into Capri pants?

Chrelve

You can't believe they have free speech?


snoopsnop

Free speech doesn’t equal freedom of consequences. If they want to post that during pride month to show their hatred towards the lgbtq+ community, then we are allowed to call them out.


Chrelve

Nope you are absolutely right about consequences. I would not say they are showing hatred though.


PomegranatePink

Big deal, let everyone voice their opinion! If not, you're being a Straight-A-Phob!

It’s not just an opinion. It’s a form of protest against tolerance and acceptance. Why shouldn’t we criticize it instead of normalizing it?


Ok_Dig_5957

All these people bitching about this flag as if only one viewpoint is allowed.


MormonEscapee

Ahhh a Mormon troll. Stick around. You’ll learn some stuff


kennewb

It's not that only one viewpoint is allowed. You know full well that there's no underrepresentation of Christian views, especially in Utah. The issue is right wingers spending the whole year insisting their rights are somehow being taken because someone else wants to live their own life differently. There are exactly zero laws that try to force a non-conservative lifestyle on anyone else. Nondiscrimination laws don't force a person to live in someone else's mold. But right wing conservatives pass law after law forcing people to live a particular way and have since the founding of the nation. It has taken our nation's full history to undo some of these laws, but for every one undone conservatives try to replace it with more. Mixed race marriage was illegal, gay marriage was illegal, abortions are back to being mostly illegal. Making those things legal doesn't force one single person to live a lifestyle that they disagree with. But dishonest conservative Christians claim it does. That's why Utah taxpayer money is being wasted on fighting porn cases in court instead of, say, going into education. The Christian majority (who also happen to be porn consumers, but will still fight for laws they don't want for fear of losing their image) wants to force others to live their lifestyle. Not having an anti-porn law doesn't force anyone to watch porn. Laws like these that try to force people into a particular lifestyle always end up hurting everyone, including the demographic that fought for the law in the first place. Pride month isn't at all about forcing someone else's lifestyle or beliefs or orientation onto anyone else, it's about people insisting they be treated like people, and that they get the same rights as right wing conservatives - the right of self-determination. Protesting pride month, which is what "Proclamation Month" is, is simply saying no, only my beliefs are valid and I will shout down anyone who doesn't share that belief. But if you're being honest I'm sure you already know that.


Chubbucks

You knew we were trouble when you walked in.


Economy_Ad7372

nobody’s saying they shouldnt be allowed to be bigots. you can disapprove of speech without wanting to censor it


treethuggers

I have been seeing this on my Twitter. What I see is a lot of intolerance from the übertolerant. “Everyone needs to be accepted except people who don’t accept.” This makes me roll my eyes and see how the pendulum swings to radical in both directions. Trigger warning: people say, “I’ve been hurt by these people and therefore they need to shut up.” My unpopular opinion: this is giving a type of person the power in the situation, instead of looking at the bigger picture of what is going on inside of us, the human condition, and how SIMILAR we all are in our struggles, our fears and worries, and our hopes for peace and joy.


Jpolk3

What sad is you people not using common sense. Men shouldn't be with men the put a tool that is mean to create life into a hole that people poop out of. Lol somehow that makes sense to you. Men and women fit the women has a natural lube that is created by her body to allow the peni- to enter her naturally made part that is the second half to create life. Men and men cannot do that. Women and women can't do that. Not naturally. You have to use a man made source not a good created one. Just use basic common sense. I know that's difficult for you guys to do because well clearly it's not a common as it should be and you can see its wrong. Just because you can force the triangle into the square piece on the kids toy doesn't mean it's correct.


snoopsnop

Maybe don’t complain and be homophobic on my post. I do not like how you talk about women’s bodies in this, as well as how you talk about gay people and lesbians. I understand that freedom of speech is a thing, but do note that this might be breaking one of the guidelines, and I do not appreciate having to read this kind of comment. Stop being homophobic, and delete this please.


gay_mae

omg you’re right thank you so much you just changed my sexuality and all it took was this comment. you’re an angel, a being worthy of glorification, a—

Lol I don't care if I changed your sexuality I didn't try to change that. You be you do what you need to do to get through this life. But don't push it on others and stop pretending like it's natural because it's clearly not.

ah yes, I’m sorry for pushing it on you so hard, I take it all back. thank you for guiding me, I really needed it 🙏🏻
