Woke theme
Who will be the first to suggest that Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde can become the symbol that there are now countries in Asia that seem to believe that Christianity is a rainbow flag organization?
Now homosexuals are allowed to marry in Thailand. On Thursday, a new law came into force in Thailand that allows same-sex marriage. On the same day, thousands of gay couples flocked to the church to get married. The bill was voted through in June last year. The Thai government states that the amendment to the law marks a proud moment for gender equality work. "Today, the rainbow flag flies proudly over Thailand," writes Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra in a post on X. See the feature on SVT News.
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde preached at the traditional service in Washington that is held the day after the presidential inauguration. In her speech, she chose to draw attention to people who feel anxious about the coming years of Trump rule. "There are children who are gay or trans in Democratic and Republican families, who are afraid for their lives," she said, asking the president to show compassion for LGBTQ people and people who are in the United States illegally. Top Republican MP Mike Collins is screaming at X that the bishop "should be expelled". In another post on the platform, tech giant Elon Musk wrote that Mariann Budde was affected by a "woke virus". President Trump also shows strong dissatisfaction with the bishop and writes on Truth Social that Budde is "nasty" and "hates him". He also believes that she should apologize. "The so-called bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a left-wing radical Trump-hater," Trump said in a post. See the feature on SVT News.
