In another demonstration of the new majority’s priorities, Democrats passed new rules barring “discrimination” against “LGBT” staffers in the U.S. House of Representatives almost immediately after taking office. Proposed by Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus head Rep. David Cicilline, D-RI, the measure was part of a rules package passed on the first day of the new legislative session, the homosexual site  PinkNews   reports .

The legislation puts in the crosshairs anyone who believes God created people male and

Their message: If you don’t want to be gay anymore, well that’s just too bad. In another example of lawmakers creating an environment of intolerance while trying to legislate tolerance, Rep. Jackie Speier , D-CA,  introduced a resolution in Congress this week , co-sponsored by Reps. Ted Deutc, D-FL, and David Cicilline , D-RI, to discourage and discriminate against young people seeking help with homosexual attraction. Congresswoman Jackie Speier. Her effort follows a recent state effort in California, the first in the nation, which prevents young people from receiving counseling or therapy to deal with unwanted same-sex attraction , even if expressly desired by the youths. Signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in September, that law is currently being challenged in court. Rep. Speier  beli
