• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yes, it definitely is.

They should be supported in accepting and feeling comfortable with who they are, rather than being encouraged to become something they can never be.
I agree, but some people call that "transphobic."

It's a Brave, brave new world we live in.

The thought police are coming for us.

That’s true. I don’t think it’s transphobic at all though. I think it’s kinder. I actually think it’s cruel telling a young person they can become something they can never be…especially when it leads to them mutilating their bodies and taking medications that can be harmful.

Yup. You’re so right.

The LGBT movement should be ashamed.

Court order for someone’s pronouns?

That’s ridiculous

If they’re really that offended, that’s on them.

I actually read the article. No, he shouldn’t have been on school ground, but he shouldn’t have spent 400 days in jail.

Ugh
