Wrong headline Mey Rude. The appropriate one:
Mormon Ken Jennings won't support Gavin Newsom for president due to transphobia
But I comprehend Mormons love of indoctrination.

Now repudiate your stupid religion, Ken.
Imagine if a man with that kind of raw brainpower didn’t spend so much of it maintaining the cognitive dissonance of being a ‘liberal Mormon’.
Ken taking this stance is a good thing. Sincerely, why use this moment to go after him? This is the problem with the left—we don’t know how to take a win. Unless it’s perfect, we gripe. Like please stop.
How many more children do you need to rape in order to satiety your coalition that never works? It's literally the same party pointing at each others beams.
Nonces taking down the competitors, to reap more abuse.
No, I won’t stop.
He is responsible for the views of the group he is a member of, especially on this issue.
Saying nice things now and then does not relieve him of moral culpability remaining a member of a group that has actively and knowingly driven queer and trans members to suicide.
It’s like a member of the Nazi party meekly proclaiming “Not all Jews are bad guys”.
Brandon Sanderson, beloved author and Ken Jennings’s college roommate, has spoken on this.
He feels he can do more good by being a voice of progressiveness within the Mormon church than by leaving it. I can respect that.
Because raping kids in churches is more progressive than sending civilians to deathcamps and genociding queers.
Do you retrospect what you respect?
I respect people trying to make a regressive organization less regressive. If they go around publicly decrying the group, that group is more likely to simply reject them than to consider what they’re saying.
You just described the neoliberal tactic for the past 60 years of deescalating regressives, that created Donald Trump…. If you respect the deescalation of the child rape groups to stop raping less, you have 5 ethno genocides LDS has to deescalate further. Native Americans are not pleased with LDS’s current subjugation.
