Pride month reminder: Making fun of the Shatnez laws (the Jewish biblical prohibition of mixing wool and linen in the same garment) and using them as an example of why biblical homophobia is stupid is antisemitic. Many Jews still practice this and it's not a "crazy weird thing!" It's something Jews actually practice in real life and your ignorance is actively harmful when you're punching down on Jewish practice lol please fuck off
I would encourage LGBT gentiles to reblog this
Also: kashrut (no shellfish or pork, no mixing milk and meat) and not working on the sabbath and a whole bunch of other laws. There are real live people who really live by these rules today, and guess what? 99.9999% of them don’t care what fabric blend you wear or what you had for lunch or whose genitalia you touch with yours. Shitting on observant Jews because evangelical xtians have been shitty to you is not revolutionary. It’s just antisemitism.
not to mention the fact that the entire argument of "well if you're homophobic because of the bible then you better ALSO do X, Y, and Z because if you don't you're a hypocrite haha gotchu" is actually not even making the argument you think it is.
because are the many real-life jewish people who DO follow every single one of those laws "allowed" to be homophobic now?
by posting those supposedly clever graphics you're not only punching down on real jewish practice, you're actually encouraging and supporting the basis for modern-day homophobia in the Jewish community.
