HOE PASS SWEEPG GAY AND TRANSGENR EQUALY LEGISLATN

It was the send time the Democratic-led Hoe had passed the measure, known as the Equaly Act, which seeks to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to add explic bans on discrimatn agast lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr people both public and private spac. Several Republins assailed the Equaly Act as dangero, leadg one top Democrat, Reprentative Sean Patrick Maloney of New York, to acce them of believg that gay and transgenr people “are morally ferr, and that firg should be permted. ”In a landmark cisn June, the Supreme Court led that the 1964 civil rights law protects gay and transgenr people om workplace discrimatn, and that the language of the law, which prohibs discrimatn on the basis of sex, also appli to discrimatn based on sexual orientatn and genr inty.

”Lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr people often enunter prejudice hog, cred, jury service and public spac, as only 22 stat and the District of Columbia prohib discrimatn based on sexual orientatn and genr legislatur regularly advance laws that lim lol LGBTQ+ protectns. ”On his first day office, Bin signed an executive orr directg feral agenci to implement the Supreme Court’s Bostock lg and to enforce any regulatns banng sex discrimatn on the basis of sexual orientatn and genr inty, as last October, Bin told Philalphia Gay News publisher Mark Segal that passg the Equaly Act would ensure “no future print n ever aga roll back civil rights and protectns for LGBTQ+ dividuals.

HOE PASS GAY BILL OF SPECIAL RIGHTS TO ADVANCE HORRIFIC ABE OF RELIG LIBERTY

Every one of the dozen or so leadg homophile groups is actively volved layg down a thick screen of ceptive and distractg language, thereby hopg to divert attentn away om what they are actually tryg to acplish. For example, s “Media Reference Gui, ” the Gay and Lbian Alliance agast Defamatn (GLAAD) scrib the term “special rights” as a “rhetoril ventn of anti-gay extremists seekg to create a climate of fear by portrayg the pursu of civil rights for LGBT people as sister, ” and specifi the followg:.

” Anti-gay extremists equently characterize civil rights and equal protectn of the law for lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr Amerins as “special rights” an attempt to energize opposn to anti-discrimatn and equal opportuny laws.

HOW SPECIAL ARE “GAY RIGHTS”?

Homosexuals evably trot out a long and imprsive list of jtifitns as to why “straight pri” paras should be banned, mostly based on a long history of ually fabrited victimizatn, but their ratnalizatns are irrelevant. This has already occurred Canada, where the Canadian Rad, Televisn and Telemunitns Commissn (CRTTC) has forbidn licensed statns to broadst any programs portrayg homosexuals or homosexualy a negative light for any reason whatsoever.

The rult of this mpaign of timidatn is that televisn shows and movi variably portray all homosexuals as people of the hight possible moral liber, and any flts that they do posss are enarg, humoro and nsequential.

AFTER YEARS OF PROGRS ON GAY RIGHTS, HOW DID THE US BEE SO ANTI-LGBTQ+?

For example, the Canadian homosexual group EGALE (Equaly for Gays and Lbians Everywhere) has e-mailed threateng not to pro-fay webs and has openly discsed the tactic of filg an avalanche of harassment lawsus agast them. …” Hours later, Harvard’s Bisexual, Gay, Lbian, Transgenr and Supporters Alliance nmned her statement, llg “heteronormative, ” and mand that future speakers be allowed to speak of man-woman fai only if they also approved of homosexual “marriage. Homosexual activist groups have mand that those who oppose gay “marriage” be forbidn to n for public office, be banned om workg for ernment any pacy, be barred om attendg law school or om practicg law, and be fired om their jobs whout reurse.

Meanwhile, to our north, fluential Canadian homophile groups have mand that anyone who believ that marriage should be a unn between one man and one woman mt be forbidn om attendg law school or om practicg law.

GAY RIGHTS

Partly due to this murr, the homophile group SMUG (Sexual Mori Uganda), assisted by the Amerin group Center for Constutnal Rights (CCR), filed a lawsu agast Pastor Lively Feral urt, accg him of “crim agast humany, ” as well as nspiracy and “vlatg the laws of natns. It do not occur to the homophil that they are also forcg a relig viewpot on the rt of ― the Unarian view that homosexualy is harmls and acceptable, and that homosexual “marriage” mt be legalized worldwi. In Europe and Canada, a number of pastors who have read what the homosexuals em “anti-gay” passag the Bible have been fed and imprisoned, and there are ser homophile attempts to have the Bible clared “hate lerature.

”27 To get around the problem of Scripture vers such as Romans 1, the homosexuals have even published their own versn of the Bible lled the “Queen Jam Versn” (QJV), which is sanized of all passag that might be terpreted as beg cril of homosexualy. A [naturally] anonymo homosexual an open sexual relatnship wh his male “partner” brought a Human Rights Tribunal plat agast the Anglin Bishop of Auckland, New Zealand, Reverend Ross Bay, for not allowg him to bee a prit. Homosexuals have mocked and ridiculed the Catholic fah for s, often parodyg s most cherished beliefs, such as the Holy Mass, through blasphemo plays and “street theater” (see the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” if you have a st iron stomach, at and).

HERE'S WHAT FLORIDA'S 'DON'T SAY GAY' BILL WOULD DO AND WHAT WOULDN'T DO

” While homophil mand the right to relentlsly and thlsly stereotype anyone who oppos any element of their agenda for any reason whatsoever as “homophob, ” “haters” and “bigots, ” they claim that anyone who dar stereotype gays any manner mt be charged wh a felony hate crime. [6] Homosexuals and their sympathizers also nmn all other “straight pri” events, cludg “heterosexual awarens month, ” and attempt to prevent dividuals (pecially stunts) om exprsg any opposn to the gay rights agenda, cludg punishg high schoolers who wear “straight pri” T-shirts (see the Wikipedia entry on “Straight Pri” for many exampl).
