Bullies-R-Us: PayPal pulls 400 jobs from NC over bathroom law, but keeps business with gay-killing regimes

Image
English: Logo of PayPal. Español: Logotipo de PayPal. Русский: Логотип системы PayPal. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) PayPal , the online payment system, deserves the “hypocrite of the year” award for pulling hundreds of jobs out of North Carolina for a bill refusing men access to women's restrooms while doing business with regimes that kill or imprison homosexuals, according to Rev. Franklin Graham . PayPal has decided not to open a global operations center in Charlotte after Gov. Pat McCrory – a former mayor – signed a bill overturning a city ordinance that would have legally forced businesses to give biological males access to girls' restrooms, showers, and other public intimate accommodations. Since signing the measure, more than 130 businesses have threatened the state with economic sanctions over the bill. “PayPal gets the hypocrite of the year award!” said Rev. Franklin Graham. “PayPal operates in countries including Saudi Arabia , Nigeria, and Yemen for Pete’s...

Bullies-R-US: Washington, NY ban state travel to Mississippi over religious liberty law

Image
Pro LGBT Andrew Cuomo, supports immorality but is not satisfied with that now demands everybody bows to LGBT agenda. Really Mr Bully? The fallout from Mississippi's new religious freedom bill protecting people of conscience from being forced to participate in same-sex ceremonies has turned into a battle of the states. Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant signed the " Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act " on Monday. "I am signing H.B. 1523 into law to protect sincerely held religious beliefs and moral convictions of individuals, organizations, and private associations from discriminatory actions from state government or its political subdivisions," Gov. Bryant explained. Already, New York and Washington have banned certain law-abiding citizens from traveling to Mississippi in an effort to economically blackmail the state. Washington's Governor Jay Inslee and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray have barred state and Seattle city e...

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) BATON ROUGE, Louisiana , - A spokesperson for Democratic Governor John Edwards says religious liberty protections enacted under Edwards' predecessor will be reversed "in the near future." The same spokesperson said Edwards is considering a religious exemption in a pending " non-discrimination " executive order that would protect the religious liberty of business owners, religiously-affiliated organizations, and other groups and individuals with sincerely held religious beliefs about marriage and sexuality. According to Deadline, Edwards press secretary Shauna Sanford told the site that the governor "will issue the executive order, but it is in the drafting stage. As far as Jindal’s religious liberty order, the governor intends to rescind it in the near future.” Last year, then-Gov. Bobby Jindal signed an Executive Order ...

Teachers unions back bill allowing adult males to shower with young girls in Massachusetts

Image
A bill that would allow adult biological males to shower or change alongside young girls has earned the endorsement of two prominent teachers unions in Massachusetts. State legislators are considering a bill that would specifically open all public restrooms, shower facilities, and locker rooms to transgender people. "An Act Relative to Gender Identity and Non-Discrimination" ( H.B. 1577 ) would add "gender identity" to the state's protected classes able to access all public facilities, such as private changing areas. Lawmakers specifically exempted "lawfully sex-segregated facilities" when it passed a 2011 ordinance granting transgender people protected legal status, but included school restroom facilities. "The issue with the latest bill is not that it opens up opposite sex restrooms in the schools, because they're already open in the schools at this point in Massachusetts," Sean Ryan , director of communications for the pro-f...

Furor at Catholic high school after nun presents Church teaching on homosexuality

Image
CHARLOTTE, NC , April 2, 2014  – A North Carolina Roman Catholic school is holding a meeting today to address the concerns of parents and students who say they are outraged about remarks a visiting nun made criticizing homosexuality, divorce, and sex outside of marriage during a recent speech. Dominican Sister Jane Dominic Laurel, who often speaks to high school and college-age students on matters of sexuality, gave an hour-long presentation to students at Charlotte Catholic High School on March 21 called “Masculinity and Femininity: Difference and Gift.”  School officials told the  Catholic News Herald  she spent about half her allotted time discussing homosexuality, blaming its rising influence in part on fatherless homes created by divorce and extramarital sex.  Sister Laurel is a member of the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia , often called the Nashville Dominicans, which is an order known for its fidelity to the Magisterium. Although th...

Jesse Jackson: Yeah, I’d marry homosexuals

CHARLOTTE, September 4, 2012,– The Reverend Jesse Jackson has said he would have “no problem” performing a same-sex wedding ceremony, “if I was asked to.” Jackson made the remarks to reporters in Charlotte , where he had arrived for the Democratic National Convention . “Beginning with the Voting Rights Act of 1965 , to the inclusion of blacks, Hispanics, 18-year-olds, and women, opportunities are now unlimited,” he  said .  Both Jackson and the Democratic Party platform wholeheartedly support same-sex “marriage.”  “We’re taught that being gay is a sin to be overcome through conversion. Without that you go to Hell,” Jackson  said . “If your theology is rooted in that Biblical view, then there’s not much room to grow.” One of Jackson’s former aides has claimed Jackson’s interest in homosexuality is more than theological.  Tommy Bennett , who worked as Jackson’s personal  travel assistant  at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition , filed a sexual...
