n March, the Family Research Council, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has identified as an anti-LGBTQ hate group, plans to hold a “DC Christian Heritage Tour and Summit” and will hold some events at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.

According to its website, from March 28 to 31, visitors can “enjoy five-star accommodations” at Trump International Hotel. The group will get dinner at the hotel on Saturday and will hold their brunch and worship service there on Sunday.

“There will be opportunities to discuss issues and policy while receiving up-to-the-minute briefings from national leaders, members of Congress and, pending approval, a White House briefing,” wrote Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council (FRC).

The FRC supports conversion therapy, a harmful practice that falsely claims to change someone’s sexuality and gender. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry has said these “therapies” lack scientific credibility and increase the “risk of causing or exacerbating mental health conditions.”

In a recent email to supporters, Perkins wrote, “We must resist politicians who advocate for adults and/or children to be prohibited from seeking psychological and spiritual help when they suffer from unwanted same-sex attraction or gender confusion.”

Ah yes,then Perkins has these words of Wisdom......................

“Scripture does speak to the poor, it does speak to the immigrant, but it also speaks to the rule of law,” he said. “In fact, in almost every instance you read in the Old Testament about taking in the poor, immigrant and stranger, it is then that they have an obligation to operate by your customs and laws. It’s the assimilation, it’s the rule of law.”


So, what did your "Christians" do exactly what to the Indigenous People of this country.....................FUCK YOU

I think a law should be passed to tax your ass............in fact "every church"....................

First things first: the upper echelon of any of these groups do NOT want abortion made illegal. There is a lot of money to be made fighting abortion, and if it's outlawed all that goes away.

My best guess is they want the Religious Test Clause of the Constitution repealed.
