Queer Satanic<p>Important contextual information here is that Schroeder is a "Warrior for Christ" Christian extremist already arrested once for calling in a bomb threat on a Pride event in Wisconsin a couple years ago, not just "some helpful guy":</p><p>&gt; Online records showed that Stewart, 42, was jailed briefly Friday afternoon on suspicion of disorderly conduct and having an unlawful assembly, then released on $1,000 bond.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; The Kansas Highway Patrol, which provides security at the Statehouse, said two others who entered the building with Stewart also were arrested for unlawful assembly, Jocelyn Frazee, 32, and Sean Anderson, 50. Frazee had no bond set; information for Anderson was not available online.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; Witnesses and friends identified the young man trying to snatch away the Black Mass script as Marcus Schroeder, who came to counterprotest with fellow members of a Kansas City-area church. Online records show Schroeder, 21, was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct, with his bond also set at $1,000.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; A friend of Schroeder’s, Jonathan Storms, said he was trying to help a woman who also sought to snatch away Stewart’s script and “didn’t throw any punches.”</p><p>Full article:<br><a href="https://apnews.com/article/satanic-grotto-kansas-rally-protesters-detained-1c699af8b373f35df7cfef4556dea3b4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apnews.com/article/satanic-gro</span><span class="invisible">tto-kansas-rally-protesters-detained-1c699af8b373f35df7cfef4556dea3b4</span></a></p><p>Schroeder's prior arrest in Wisconsin:<br><a href="https://www.wkow.com/news/christian-warrior-accused-of-causing-bomb-scare-at-pride-event/article_78cd8094-534d-11ee-9e9f-3fea4ab64267.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wkow.com/news/christian-warrio</span><span class="invisible">r-accused-of-causing-bomb-scare-at-pride-event/article_78cd8094-534d-11ee-9e9f-3fea4ab64267.html</span></a><br> <br><a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/communities/west/2023/09/15/warriors-for-christ-member-charged-with-causing-a-bomb-scare-marcus-schroeder-watertown-wisconsin/70864615007/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">jsonline.com/story/communities</span><span class="invisible">/west/2023/09/15/warriors-for-christ-member-charged-with-causing-a-bomb-scare-marcus-schroeder-watertown-wisconsin/70864615007/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TheSatanicGrotto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheSatanicGrotto</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SatanicGrotto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SatanicGrotto</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Satanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Satanism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Satanists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Satanists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MichaelStewart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MichaelStewart</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JocelynFrazee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JocelynFrazee</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SeanAnderson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SeanAnderson</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TheDevilOfKansas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheDevilOfKansas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kansas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kansas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Topeka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Topeka</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MarcusSchroeder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarcusSchroeder</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChristianNationalism</span></a></p>

A quotation from Baum

   “Tell me something about yourself, and the country you came from,” said the Scarecrow, when she had finished her dinner. So she told him all about Kansas, and how gray everything was there, and how the cyclone had carried her to this queer land of Oz.
   The Scarecrow listened carefully, and said, “I cannot understand why you should wish to leave this beautiful country and go back to the dry, gray place you call Kansas.”
   “That is because you have no brains,” answered the girl. “No matter how dreary and gray our homes are, we people of flesh and blood would rather live there than in any other country, be it ever so beautiful. There is no place like home.”

L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) American author [Lyman Frank Baum]
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, ch. 4 “The Road Through the Forest” (1900)
