Hellish Grammy show proves Hollywood doesn’t respect religious beliefs

The internet was ablaze Sunday night after a satanic Grammy performance which conservative critics decried as sickening. The

described as about a “family man having unsafe sex.” At the Grammys, Smith and Petras, who identify as non-binary and transgender, respectively, are surrounded by fire, red lights, and provocatively dressed dancers carrying whips or pantomiming demonic possession. Smith eventually dons a hat with cartoonish devil horns while Petras performs from inside a cage. The music video for the song was no less risqué – a cabaret show featuring androgynous burlesque dancers, contestants from RuPaul’s Drag Race and a cameo from a gay porn star.

is a prime example – because they don’t actually care about equal treatment. They only care about protecting the people or beliefs that deserve it – those they perceive as oppressed or victimized – and gleefully say, “To hell with the rest.”
