Only EVIL people approve of Homosexuals.
Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE". And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

Tell DOJ, “You own this problem and I’m not endorsing anything I don’t believe.”

Actually, my reading of the document is that “silence” will be construed as disapproval by an LGBT employee. I believe that that is a factual statement. The statement is not a threat to a manager.

It is only a threat as far as someone assuming that a feeling of disapproval from an LGBT employee could lead to consequences. You are free to read this into the document, but it isn’t an overt threat.

As I have said, the rump rangers are no longer satisfied to be accepted,they must be publicly praised.

I had a Facebook “Friend” defriend me, because they noticed that I never “liked” and of their pro-gay propaganda they posted, although I never even commented on it....they clearly wanted affirmation, and they simply defriended anyone who didn’t do so....no big loss.

Yes, but according to the most basic tenets of PC theory, if you feel threatened, then you are threatened, and the intent of the speaker or writer is irrelevant.

I guess when Jesus dealt with that sexually immoral woman at the well he really blasted her, didn’t he?

Why is it so hard for people to separate an abhorrence for sin from expressing God’s love for the sinner? Judgement will certainly come, but it is not ours to deliver.

Just like in Stalinist Russia, you were detained if you didn’t denounce anyone to authorities...they figured you must be against the government if you didn’t turn somebody else in.

“DON’T judge or remain silent. Silence will be interpreted as disapproval.”

Will those who choose to remain silent be simply terminated or will they face prosecution? And if so, will they be read the Miranda warning..."You have the right to remain silent..."

Please don’t be a moral idiot.

The woman you refer to was not flaunting her sin in peoples faces demanding their approval..

Time to man-up.

Silence seems like disapproval.

A properly formed piece of mud seems like chocolate cake. But it isn't.

Yes, and that is why it is legitimate to read an implicit threat into the document. I am just pointing out that the wording is not actually a direct threat or even a direct order. The wording is of an observation.
