Using they/them does not mean someone is a demon.
A new front in the gender wars is bigots equating the use of they/them pronouns with literal Biblical demons. The idea comes from the story of Jesus confronting a possessed man possessed who calls itself “Legion, for we are many.” This occurs in the Gospels of Mark, Luke, and Matthew.
This is theologically and semantically nonsense, a deliberate misreading of the Bible in a way that is, frankly, breaking the Third Commandment to further a bigoted agenda. The Rev. Moira Finlay is the pastor and teacher of three United Church of Christ congregations in northeast Wisconsin, as well as the founder of, an advocacy group fighting rape and sexual assault in the church.
Legion does not represent modern uses of they/them pronouns. Non-binary people are not referring to themselves as a plural and do not think of themselves as multiple united beings. Acting as if “they” automatically means plural entities is a deliberate misconstruction of language. It’s worth noting that uses of"they" abound in the canonical Gospels. The fuzzy-headed interpretation used to generate the memes could also apply to John Chapter 17, when Jesus prays for his followers, and he openly endorses the idea of plural oneness as a concept of sanctity.

Ron DeSantis. DeSantis chose a Christian school Wednesday to sign the bills, which also restricts pronoun use in schools and force people to use the bathroom corresponding with their sex at birth. DeSantis has made anti-LGBTQ+ legislation a large part of his agenda as he builds towards a presidential campaign. He signed the bills in front of a cheering crowd at the Cambridge Christian School in Tampa. The ceremony had a campaign-like feel, as opposed to when he signed measures on abortion and gun rights in private.
