Pro-LGBT Corporate America strong-arms Kansas into submission

Image
Religious liberty and the best interests of vulnerable children hang in the balance as Corporate America again flexes its immoral unfair muscle to coerce and bully a state into bending to the will of LGBT special interest groups.   Apple, Google and Amazon––along with more than 80 other tech companies––have declared their opposition to the Kansas  Adoption Protection Act , warning of “dire" economic consequences” if the legislation is enacted. The group of organizations, which calls itself “ TechNet ,” sent Kansas legislators a  letter  on Friday calling the measure a “license to discriminate.”   The proposed legislation is aimed at preventing the state from denying financial aid it would otherwise award to faith-based adoption agencies who, because of their “sincerely held religious beliefs,” choose not to place children in the homes of gays and lesbians. The campaign is orchestrated by the behemoth Washington, DC -based pro-gay lobbying organization, the  Human R

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

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.

Official portrait of Vice President of the United States . (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Vice President Joe Biden equated gender ideology with civil rights in a recent speech, at the same time calling marriage supporters homophobic. Gays and lesbians should not fear "those shrill voices" working to oppose homosexual "marriage," Biden said, because Americans "have moved so far beyond them and their appeals to prejudice and fear and homophobia." The potential Democrat presidential contender also took the occasion to attack the character of candidates from across the political aisle, stating, "There's homophobes still left – most of them are running for president." Biden used his remarks before the annual dinner for the homosexual activist group the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) to advance his support for allowing those suffering from gender dysphoria to serve openly in the military. "No longer is there any question transgende

Facebook users can choose between 50 ‘gender identity’ options

Image
– Facebook has 1.2 billion users – and now it has nearly as many gender categories to match. The social media website unveiled a new feature today that allows users to jettison male or female and describe themselves by dozens of “gender” labels. Is Facebook now Gaybook? Under the “gender” section of their profile, users may click on “custom” and type in dozens of options, including “pangender,” “genderqueer,” “bigender,” "agender,” “gender questioning,” “androgynous,” “cisgender,” and “neutrois.” Peter LaBarbera , president of  Americans for Truth About Homosexuality  joked, “Do you remember the good old days when there were only five genders?” He told LifeSiteNews he was thankful they had not included the term “genderf—k,” a growing self-identity among those who embrace a fluid view of sexual identity. Still, Facebook's list of potential “gender” terms is large and growing. “Way to go, Facebook – smash that gender binary !”  wrote  John Becker of Th

BENTONVILLE, AR , August 29, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The world’s largest retailer has quietly notified its more than 1.2 million U.S. employees that beginning next year, full-time workers can share company benefits any domestic partner of their choosing, whether gay or straight, married or unmarried. Arkansas-based Walmart , the nation’s largest private employer, sent out a postcard this week announcing plans to let employees share benefits like health insurance and life insurance. In a  memo  explaining the decision, the company said it was trying to keep pace with the competition, stating that “of 30 retail competitors, all but two (Publix and Stop and Shop union plan) provide either same- or opposite-sex domestic partner coverage.” The company also blamed ObamaCare and the recent Supreme Court decision striking down a portion of the Defense of Marriage Act for its new policies, saying that offering coverage for everyone was easier than trying to navigate the newl
