    That’s not JFK. It’s Harvey Milk, an early gay rights movement advocate and the first openly gay person elected to office in California.

    Also the meme wasn’t ‘about how religion is the problem.’ The song and meme suggest the problem is artificial separations, othering people, judging them, treating subjective reality as objective truth. No heaven or hell because all there is is this life. No imaginary borders that mean you are meant to prioritize ‘us’ over ‘them’. No killing them or dying for us. No religions telling you that those in other religions are wrong, immoral, dangerous, evil, etc. The take away is meant be that we should seek peace, equality, and inclusivity. That were all the same at our core.
