Beyond marriage, challenges ahead for gay rights groups (no agenda, eh?)

Even as same-sex marriage edges closer to becoming legal nationwide, gay rights advocates face other challenges in 2015 that may not bring quick victories.

In Congress, for example, liberal Democrats plan to introduce civil rights bills in the House and Senate that would outlaw a broad range of discrimination against lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people. However, Republicans will control both chambers in the new Congress, and there is no sign that GOP leaders will help the bills advance.

Absent such a federal law, activists will seek to pass more nondiscrimination laws at the state and local levels, but some efforts are meeting resistance. A conservative-led coalition in Houston is trying to overturn a gay rights ordinance approved by the city council in May, while a similar ordinance passed in August by the city council in Fayetteville, Arkansas, was repealed by voters on Dec. 10. …

Their goal is now to rob anyone who disagrees with them of their livelihood. And to make freely speaking opposition to them or their wants a hate crime. Before you know it they will start suing for reparations.

Oh yes, and they will want public funding for sex change operations and probably to force businesses to fund them as well. Also everyone will have to fund their reproduction shenanigans since they cannot naturally reproduce.

I shudder to think what else. Of course any group that has anything to do with children will be forced to “celebrate” their perversion.

When a movement has won all its original fights, and starts casting about for new ones, that’s when they transmogrify into pure oppressors. The movement against the Democrat’s slavery and the Democrats’ Jim Crow has become the movement of the Knockout Game. Keeps their attention off the destruction of the black family and Planned Parenthood’s Negro Project.

Oh, they’re not done yet. Homosexuality is going to be labeled a disability and then we’ll all have to pay for them. There’s nothing a homosexual likes more than pity, unless it’s government handouts.

That’s just it, Ghost. I think their aim will be relentless lawfare, persecution and revenge against everybody who doesn’t bend the knee to their agenda.

I don’t think so! If homosexuality is a disability then it is no longer normal.

At the mall this past Christmas season I was shocked and nauseated by the degree of homosexual PDA that I was forced to witness.

That, surely is the next phase, to get everyone used to seeing men French kissing me in public.

Why would they do this?

Because they don’t reproduce. So they must obtain “recruits” by converting children into homosexuals.

This is their ultimate goal...free access to children to recruit them.

You are correct, sir, and the only way they can achieve that goal is to destroy Freedom of Religion as guaranteed by the Constitution. Simply put they wish to eliminate your right, based on your religious faith, to believe that active homosexual behavior is a sin.

Sodomites are enemies of the country. Some sympathy still exists on FR, but thankfully it is dying out. Sodomite = liberal = commie = terrorist enemies of the USA

Religious freedom and LGBTQRST rights cannot coexist.

“freedom of religion and to live those values.”

OUR Values, not simply those values.

...”At the mall this past Christmas season I was shocked and nauseated by the degree of homosexual PDA that I was forced to witness.”...

It just occurred to me recently some of the differences in the races regarding the dissolution of the family..If you think about it, among blacks, the absence of the father who has refused to accept responsibility for the children he has sired seems to be the main destructive force while, among whites, it seems to be homosexuality and feminism. Homosexuality does not produce children and feminism aborts them.

It is all about that gay marriage signature, ie an enlistment for life in their warfare.

The man quitting wife for a man will be called a poor gay man and she will have to pay. But a man quiting the gay partner for a wholesome life will be dragged by the courts like the worst of adulterer causing mental anguish and criticism.

Gay marriage is an evil sex racket.

The camel has his nose under the tent and it won’
