I know it’s Reddit and all Republicans are like literal nazis and all, but what has Oz ever said or done against gay people?

Oz personally has no problem promoting ~~snake oil~~ questionable health supplements even after graduating from medical school and becoming very wealthy on the way. He will do whatever the fuck someone pays him to do. Proven fact.

Right now the people he owes in a big giant huge way are the leaders of the GOP who are absolutely committed to nominating judges who believe rights long enshrined in law are all up for review. Absolutely committed to bringing god and Jesus into your life like it or not. Prayer in school? Hey if the coach wants you to kneel down and worship a funny planet while wearing special underwear that's his right. Likewise if the coach thinks you should bow to the east 3x a day that's just his religious freedom and he will in no way hold it against you during your performance review. Not at all. 😂. Funny if it wasn't terrifying. Now imagine you're a gay atheist who has been thru conversation therapy twice.

Why would a Muslim ever commit to bringing Jesus into peoples life or Christian prayers into schools though?

Exactly. The only people who do that are Christians. If a Muslim attempted to pray publicly in schools on a prayer mat there would be reasonsssssss why they can't. One might be the chaos of trying to accommodate every possible religion so let's cut to the chase and not have any?

The gop candidates are spouting Christian nationalism and the national gop is happy for whatever gets them votes.

Because he will do whatever it takes to keep his seat at the table once he gets it, which means doing what the GOP tells him to do.

I’m more concerned about what he will do (to LGBTQ, to women, to education, to Social Security, Medicare, etc.) than what he’s said or done. Because Oz will do whatever his party tells him to do to keep his seat at the table.

He had someone on his show years ago to talk about conversion therapy.
