Obama has a plan to give you... Teh GAY!
Family Reserach Council Claims Obama Has A ‘Plan’ To ‘Impose Homosexuality’

Earlier this month, the far-right Family Research Council (FRC) sent a fundraising action alert fearmongering about the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which has been introduced in both the House and Senate and President Obama says he is “pushing hard to pass.” “This law would punish anyone in the workplace who dares oppose homosexual behavior, cross-dressing and other unhealthy behaviors,” said the FRC alert.

In a four-page solicitation letter mailed to supporters this month, which was obtained by ThinkProgress, the conservative organization went even further in its rhetoric, claiming that President Obama wants to “impose homosexuality and silence Christianity in workplaces”:




In the body of the letter, which was signed by FRC President Tony Perkins, Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) is quoted as saying that ENDA legislation would mean that “the federal government would be dictating to religious institutions and organizations whom they must hire.” The letter also claims the law could lead to an “employer telling you to remove the Bible from your desk because it is offensive to the homosexual or cross-dresser he was forced to hire.”

These claims are ridiculous. Despite what Price says, the legislation would not force anyone to be hired. It would only mean that it would be illegal “to fire, refuse to hire, or fail to promote employees simply based on sexual orientation,” as it is currently illegal to do in cases of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Additionally, as the Human Rights Campaign points out, current ENDA legislation “exempts small businesses, religious organizations and the military.”

I have it on good authority that those anti-flu vaccines are full of TEH GAY. Be careful out there!

1. Glad to see the Obama Administration has SOME sort of plan for the gay community...
...instead of the usual weakly winging it or telling the uppity ones to fuck off. :shrug:

5. I couldn't imagine how a gay must feel
every day of their lives, beings with all the things you say in your sig line. I love you all just as much as I love my family and have the utmost respect for your cause. If I could change things I would have a long long time ago

6. Thank you very much - the good news is more and more come around
to understanding every day. I get pissed about the legal set backs and the fact of the majority voting on the rights of the minority often enough - but the simple fact is, I've seen more progress in my lifetime than I would have ever dreamed even 15 years ago.

But I'm waiting/working towards the day when a kid doesn't get kicked out of his house or consider suicide as an option when he or she comes to the realization that this is who they are.
