How a powerful gay lobby group orchestrated the Big Business pressure campaign against North Carolina

Image
The media has made a big deal during the last week about various business interests coming out in opposition to the passage of House Bill 2 , North Carolina’s Bathroom Safety and Privacy Bill. These actions have left many across the state and nation befuddled and scratching their heads. Why are some executives with Fortune 1,000 companies and other businesses speaking out against the bill, which essentially reiterates existing state policy and includes a number of overtly pro-business provisions? And why is the president of a national LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) activist group, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), delivering an opposition letter to N.C. Governor Pat McCrory on behalf of these business interests just days after the bill passed? While LGBT activist groups would like for us all to believe this was a spontaneous uprising of indignation among the state and national business community, a closer examination reveals that it is actually part of a carefu

Governor Deal buries Christian Pastors so LGBT sin can blossom

Deal buries Pastors so LGBT sin can rule Moron  member of the United States House of Representatives. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) As you know, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal has become the latest example of a cowardly Republican who has thrown people of faith to the wolves by vetoing extremely modest religious liberty legislation (HB 757) that would have protected pastors, churches and religious groups from having to participate in same-sex 'weddings' or host them in their facilities. Deal's action makes it open season on Christians, churches and other people of faith who do not want to be personally forced to be a part of a same-sex ceremony that they oppose on religious grounds. Deal kowtowed to wealthy corporate interests who had already severely watered down the legislation by removing most of the needed protections, and then he showed himself to be a corporate lackey when billionaire sports owners and big business chieftains demanded that he veto even this modes

Religious Freedom is now gone in the USA

All across America , LGBT extremists are working overtime to force devout Christians and other people of faith to personally participate in celebrating a same-sex ' marriage ' even when doing so violates their deeply held religious beliefs. Those who have refused to abandon God 's commands when it comes to marriage have been hit with lawsuits and huge fines, lost their jobs and even been put in jail.  This must stop, For years, LGBT activists lied to Americans about gay 'marriage,' claiming that redefining marriage to suit their demands would not hurt anyone. Instead, people's lives have been ruined and the sexual extremists are intent on forcing every person in America to genuflect at the altar of gay "rights." It is outrageous that gay and lesbian extremists have been allowed to discriminate against, harass and punish Christians and others when it comes to marriage. Fortunately, the Mississippi legislature is on the precipice of enacting

Leaders cave into LGBT lies and agenda

Betrayal: In Georgia, turncoat Republican Governor Nathan Deal just vetoed an extremely modest bill to protect pastors and churches from having to participate in same-sex 'weddings' and give some minor protection to religious schools from having to hire someone who openly opposes their religious beliefs. Deal ignored dozens of examples of discrimination against people of faith that have occurred across the country and instead adopted the approach advocated by LGBT extremists that any accommodation of religious objections to gay 'marriage' amounts to "discrimination" against gays and lesbians. Deal and the extremists demand that every single person, religious organization and small business in Georgia agree to personally participate in a same-sex 'wedding' ceremony if asked, regardless of their deeply-held religious views. Backlash: It is now clear that LGBT extremists and the left will accept absolutely no dissent from the orthodoxy they wish to i

Georgia’s GOP gov. vetoes bill to stop pastors from being forced to perform gay ‘weddings’

Image
Facing a nationwide boycott that threatened the economic well-being of his state, the governor of Georgia announced Monday that he would veto a bill to enshrine First Amendment protections for pastors and religious organizations with a traditional view of marriage. The Free Exercise Protection Act (H.B. 757) would have specified that clergy do not have to perform same-sex “marriages,” and that religious organizations do not have to rent out their facilities for such a ceremony, nor do they have to hire anyone if doing so would violate the group's sincerely held religious beliefs about human sexuality. The bill also forbade the state from requiring businesses to remain open on Saturday or Sunday if doing so would prevent attendance at religious services. Gov. Deal , a Republican, said Monday that he favored the early version of the bill. But the NFL threatened to pull the Super Bowl out of the state if it passed. A coalition of Hollywood studios including Disney and M

LGBT Demonic went down to Georgia

The devil has gone to Georgia again, but this time it was in the form of Big Business and cowardly politicians. In a  staggering announcement yesterday morning , the two-term governor of the Peach State has capitulated to big business and decided to give the government a blank check to punish Georgia’s men and women of faith. Days after a watered-down religious liberty bill sailed through both houses of the legislature, Governor Deal has decided that even the flimsiest of protections for churches are too much for Georgia’s Christians. Like Hollywood and Big Business, he thinks the state should be able to dictate what people believe -- and torment those who don’t conform. Sound familiar? It should. Any totalitarian regime operates by the same philosophy. And while the persecution takes different forms, the effect is still the same: faith-based oppression. According to Deal, a bill so weak that it wouldn’t even protect the nuns at Little Sisters of the Poor “doesn’t reflect

Corporate war on religious freedom and LGBT bullies

Attorney Jane Robbins , Senior Fellow with the American Principles Project, commented on the economic threats to Georgia.  "Good people are trying to live their lives according to their faith.  Are we really going to subordinate religious freedom to the love of money?" Pastor Garland Hunt of the Fellowship of International Churches told LifeSiteNews, "There is no plausible reason for the governor to not have enthusiastically signed Georgia’s Religious Freedom Act.” Macon's Berean Baptist Church pastor Joe Bowker told LifeSiteNews of the legislation, "in no way is it discriminatory," because "disagreement is not discrimination." Robbins characterized America’s corporations as assisting bigotry.  “Anti-religious bigots, emboldened by corporate America and the political left, are now waging all-out war on religious freedom. This crass attempt to bully people of faith is un-American." Of the many major corporations threatening bo

Atlanta mayor sacks city’s fire chief over book expressing Christian beliefs

Image
English: Kasim Reed (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The City of Atlanta has sacked its fire chief for expressing his personal religious beliefs in a Bible study publication. The city’s mayor accused Kelvin Cochran, an African- American Baptist church deacon, of “discrimination” and questioned his judgment and management capabilities after gay activists complained about the book. While announcing Cochran’s January 6 dismissal, Mayor Kasim Reed strove to quash any claims that the issue was about Cochran’s First Amendment rights . “This is not about religious freedom,” Reed declared. “This is not about free speech. Judgment is the basis of the problem.” Reed suspended Cochran in November because of what he wrote in two brief passages of his 160-page Bible-study, “Who Told You That You Were Naked?” which was published in 2013. In defining "uncleanness" Cochran wrote, “whatever is opposite of purity; including sodomy, homosexuality, lesbianism, pederasty, bestiality,
