    I feel like the intent of the wearer can make this shirt work both in a pro-witchy-lesbian way or in a pro-churchgoer way.

    Is this evidence I’ve missed the joke, or is that the joke?

      I don’t see how this is a pro-church sort of vibe. Nobody in the churches i grew up in would talk so openly about this sort of thing, and especially not in such a sarcastic manner.

      Doubly so since it’s a dude wearing it; if being trans is a sin, then joking about it sarcastically is definitely taboo.

      I thought the joke was making fun of pat robertson’s wild quote “the feminist agenda encourages women to kill their children, practice witchcraft, and become lesbians.”

      I read the shirt as “sorry missed church /s, i was too busy fucking around with things that are horrible for church-people to bother with it lmao”.
