Florida considers anti-discrimination bill for LGBT rights [Republican Turncoats]
Fox Orlando ^ | 2/7/16 | Brendan Farrington

Posted on 02/08/2016 11:04:44 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

....this year, some Republican lawmakers are backing a bill that would give lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents the protection against discrimination.....

....Republican Rep. Holly Raschein, the House sponsor of the anti-discrimination bill, which has nine Republican co-sponsors.....

...supporters are focused on its economic impact. The bill is being called the "Competitive Workforce Act" and a group running a campaign to promote it is backed by AT&T, Wells Fargo, Marriott and Carnival Corporation. The argument is that Florida will be able to attract corporations that provide high-paying, high-skilled jobs and the workforce to fill them if it has clear anti-discrimination laws.

Big Business and RINOs team up with a fake argument...they won't be able to get qualified homosexuals to WORK for them if this law isn't passed.

Spitting on the first amendment is Holly Raschein and her big business backers.

No surprise here to note that Republicrats are joining their opponents in placing perverts atop pedestals.

....and who wants to cruise on Carnival? It’s the line of choice for queers and lesbians.

When are honkies and Christians going to get an “anti-discrimination” bill? With the massive illegal alien “refugee” invasion currently going on, we’re coming close to achieving “minority” status.

Chamber of Commerce stooges in action. If you need a list of people to primaryTea Party, look for GOP sponsors of these sort of “special rights for special people” bills.

a bill that would give lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents the protection against discrimination.

Goes hand-in-hand with Loretta Lynch's edit from her boss against Muslim discrimination.

Once again we see evidence of thought control.... Stalin described his converts as "Useful Idiots." The Useful Idiots have destroyed every nation in which they have seized power and control.

How about a bill for God fearing Joe Average middle class white conservative? Better yet, no more bills for anything for the next year.

Already covered by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Homosexuals are not.

Florida was a sensible place to live before millions of libtards invaded.

The minute most of them set foot on the sand they set about recreating the leftist hell holes they just escaped from.

For months and months you can hear them muttering “That’s not the way we do it back home.”

Homosexuals adopt children to have sex with them. What about the rights of children to be free from degenerates?

So this bill for the homosexuals won’t mean anything either?
