I’m sick of Christians who work for the public suing because they don’t want to do their jobs.
If you cannot serve the whole public, quit your job in public service.

That someone who believes in the Bible and is professionally contracted to prevent people from drowning is being upset they are doing that job near the Biblical symbol of a covenant not to drown humanity again is making me drown in the irony.
Please send help.
Wow I hadn't even thought of it that way. For real.
Snowflake.
“The colors, they’re too scary!”
Right wing conservative "Christians:"
Libs are snowflakes!
Also
I'm triggered by a sequence of colors!
Right wing Christians (don't put it in quotes, don't do a No True Scotsman, they're Christians) hate rainbows now and I can't love it more because it ruins their precious Noah story for them.
It's even dumber because a rainbow doesn't necessarily mean LGBTQ. Sometimes rainbow is just rainbow.
Kids love rainbows. I'm an adult and I love rainbows. They are literally fun colors and beautiful.
If your religion is making you hate rainbows, it might be time to take a look at your religion and the batshit stuff it teaches you.
The rainbow was God's sign of the covenant with all people. Does he reject God?
What does he do if a man needs mouth to mouth?
I think you can just say "No Homo" and do whatever. Sources needed.
The lack of socks cancels that out.
How many bets this asshole goes on and on about how people are too easily offended and cancel culture is out of control?
I'll sue every building with a cross inside since Christianity offends me.
The fact that he was able to sue.. especially in the state of California of all places. This could actually be a trend for the entire nation.
White light is a tightly squished rainbow, so I guess these people's only option is to all go blind.
I mean, more blind than they're now.
its a funny post, but I'm almost completely certain you cant contract "they are" here, but I could be wrong
Here's something they can do
I wish people, regardless of personal beliefs, experiences, or values, would learn to appreciate one another for the things they have in common, and stop being triggered by the expressions of those characteristics that we don't.
I love so many people that don't vote, worship, recreate, or otherwise live life like I do. That doesn't change who I am, and I would never want to change who they are.
Stop hating each other FFS.
I read the headline and thought this was the onion
Oh. You’re … not from the USA are you? Just a guess
What if the homophobic lifeguard sees someone drowning that "looks gay"? I don't know if this guy can do his job.
Bigoted fuck
Little typically works at Will Rogers Beach, long considered a safe space among LGBTQ+ beach goers. The beach is so popular with queer residents and visitors that it earned the nickname "Ginger Rogers Beach.
Why doesn't he just ask to be stationed at a different beach? He's offended by a flag, but not a bunch of men and women making everyday PDAs right in front of him?
Because it's all bullshit and he's just a greedy asshole who wants to make a quick buck at taxpayers expense. Fuck him.
Jeffery Little, who has worked for the city for 22 years, filed a lawsuit on Friday claiming he is being discriminated against for his evangelical faith by being made to stand in the same vicinity as the Progress Pride flag. Little alleges he was suspended from his role with the department’s background investigation unit last year after he took down three LGBTQ+ flags during Pride month.
The Los Angeles county board of supervisors voted last year to require the rainbow banner be flown during the month of June at government buildings, which includes lifeguard stands. Little, who claimed the flags present a “direct conflict” with his religious beliefs, fought to be placed at stations that would not fly the flag, as they did not have the right flag poles to fly any banner.
I gotta go to work so I’ll leave that to comment for myself.
The lifeguard seemed particularly triggered by the turquoise and pink stripes on the original Pride flag designed by Gilbert Baker, which represent magic and sex, respectively.
Gonna go out on a limb and say that this man is no fun at parties.
Wait shit that's an option? Can we get a version of the progress flag with magic and sex pls?
This lifeguard only THINKS they're a Christian. A real Christian wouldn't care because not only does GOD love all, but we're all made in his image. Gay L, straight, Bi, Trans, Asexual. All of us.
He's a Christian like any other and Christians will have to recognize that their beliefs are responsible for a lot of homophobia, instead of saying that anyone who makes them look bad is not a "true" Christian.
Stop kink shaming guys, it’s clear this dork has a persecution fetish!
As it never rains in southern california, this guy has never seen a rainbow in his life, pretty sure.
