Whatever rights the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission is safeguarding, the right to engage in commerce doesn’t seem to be among them — not if you’re a believing Christian, anyway.
In a shocking decision, a commission examiner made a recommended ruling last Monday that a Christian businessman violated a local ordinance against sexual-orientation discrimination by refusing to print T-shirts with a pro-homosexual message. As Fox News’ Todd Starnes reported, “The examiner concluded that Blaine Adamson of Hands On Originals broke the law in 2012 by declining to print shirts promoting the Lexington Pride Festival. The Gay and Lesbian Services Organization subsequently filed a complaint.”
The examiner, Greg Munson, also demands that Hands On Originals go in for “diversity training” — conducted by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission (LFUCHRC) itself — within the next 12 months.

Will they tell that to the Sharia folk?
I’d like to order 100 shirts emblazoned with:
“EFF the FASCIST Greg Munson!”
Certainly they are already losing their businesses.
These are evil times.
It is long past time to tell fascists to go to hell.
Seems like I read about that in Revelation somewhere.
Refuse the ‘training’.
Count it all joy........
This was too much to ask, however, for executive director of the LFUCHRC, Raymond Sexton. He told Starnes that it would be “safe” to leave your religion at home, or “you can find yourself two years down the road and you’re still involved in a legal battle because you did not do so.” Sexton also told Starnes that the Adamson ruling “was a landmark decision … a very important ruling for us.”
I can't thinking that government attempts to enforce orders like this are the exact reason why the founders included the 2nd amendment in the Constitution.
Does Qreq Munson have an actual job that produces somethinq worthwhile? Maybe there could be a way to order that product from him, and he could be forced to print shirts with that messaqe, or face re-education.
Keep pushing this mooselimb crap up our asses ya fool negro.
Lexington is a very liberal area of Kentucky. Fortunately, one of the few.
I’ve got your ‘diversity training’ right here, pal.
Diversity training?
Bite me. Lock my ass up but you will never see me in a class being taught that homosexuals are not engaged in perversion and that I must accept and promote that.
I suppose that the same would apply to a muslim meat market when it comes to providing ham and bacon?
That’s the goal of the left, to criminalize Christianity.
And homos are currently a very effective weapon to that end.
Louisville and Lexington: two hotbeds of perverse liberalism here in Kentucky. Fortunately, these two cities aren’t representative of the rest of the state. Unfortunately, perverse liberalism, like the ebola virus, is highly contagious.
I’ll take 2 dozens T shirts with this guys picture on it next to a young boy , with the caption, “Support Sodomy”
