Obama’s AG sues North Carolina, likens bathroom privacy law to segregation

Image
  The Justice Department filed a lawsuit today stating that North Carolina has violated federal civil rights laws by overturning ordinances mandating that transgender people can use the restroom and shower facilities of the opposite biological sex. Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced the federal case at a press conference late this afternoon, likening laws that bar biological males from using female showers to Jim Crow laws and segregation measures that forced blacks to use separate drinking fountains. “This is not the first time we have seen discriminatory responses to historic moments of progress to our nation,” said Lynch in a press conference scheduled for 3:30, which began half an hour late. “We saw it in the Jim Crow laws that followed the Emancipation Proclamation. We saw it in the fierce arguments against   Brown v. the Board of Education ” - the 1954 Supreme Court decision that overturned segregation. “And we saw it in the state bans on same-sex u...

Homosexual authoritarian radicals with militant tactics

Defenders of marriage and the traditional family continue to lose battle after battle to the purveyors of sexual liberation. So predictable have their defeats become that the judicial  coup  at the US Supreme Court over same-sex “marriage” surprised no one.

Now if we can start showing concern for the freedoms of others, who already face plunder and prison at the hands of the sexual radicals, we will become leaders of a constructive response. In fact, the impositions on Christians so far are very mild compared to  what others have endured . It is time to step back and look at the broade...

Hundreds rally behind sacked Atlanta Fire Chief, gay activists praise mayor

Supporters of now-former Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran, who was fired last week over his Christian beliefs , rallied at the Georgia State Capitol Monday, while homosexual activists are praising the controversial firing, and some are warning about the case’s implications for religious freedom . Hundreds of Christians and faith leaders held a January 12  rally  to support Cochran and religious freedom legislation currently under consideration in the Georgia House. The gathering started out at the Georgia State Capitol before participants marched to Atlanta’s City Hall to present 28,000 signatures to the mayor’s office in support of the bill. Cochran was fired  by Mayor Kasim Reed January 6 after a  30-day suspension stemming from Cochran’s authoring a Bible study for men that discussed the Christian definition of sexual purity in two segments of the 160-page book. The brief passages touch on homosexuality along with other things, and their frankness upset ...
