Personally I am tired of having this crap crammed down my throat. Where are my rights and beliefs?

I agree! I never understand why in this situation the Christian group does not counter with a discrimination complaint of its own. Do they not understand that Christians can also be discriminated against? Why do we just sit there and take it? We need to stand up and start complaining for being discriminated against.

That struck me as awkward wording as well...

The american leftist gaystapo is just begging for another inquisition, or worse, a crusade.

They just couldn’t leave it alone, could they.

The attempts by these vile, nasty, nihilistic, self loathing homosexuals to destroy anything that they perceive as opposition to their spiral of self destruction will never be satisfied, ever.

Seems like an odd story to me. I never thought of the AFA as a “charity” in the first place.

[[ because he considers the group’s traditional Christian positions discriminatory.]]

Huh- I guess the constitution is meaningless now?

Good grief!

Just ban Christianity because its “discriminatory” about an immoral lifestyle.

The only 2 charitable organizations I will donate to are Wounded Warriors and the Salvation Army.
All the rest are run by QUEERS and CROOKS.

Christian groups - indeed all conservative groups - hate controversy. We’ve gotten that “turn the other cheek” down so well it’s now a second nature. We’re the good guys, they (the liberals) are the ones with the black hats and we don’t want to be anything like them, do we?

Maybe, as I’ve read in another comment here, we DO need another crusade. I doubt tar and feathers would be sufficient to end this attack on decency. Our usual reply to attack is to talk nice so we won’t make them angry. Actually, our response should be to counterattack and punish them until they’re unable (or unwilling) to initiate war again. As a case in point, neither the Japanese or German governments have indicated a desire to make war against us since 1945. Like most here, I would rather NOT kill people like we did in that war but if someone is to die, I’d rather it was those who make war against us instead of us, our children and our grandchildren.

The same goes for those among us who work to destroy our way of life. That would merely be the beginning of a series of physical attacks on our homes, our jobs and - inevitably - our persons.

Never be “nice” to Liberals!

To: detective; All
Low-Information Christians need to wake up and learn their 14th Amendment protections.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Note that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect so-called LGBT “rights” like they did with the rights expressly protected by the Bill of Rights for example. So low-information, pro-LGBT agenda state officials are unthinkingly using constitutionally unprotected, politically correct gay “rights” to trump constitutionally enumerated rights, the 1st Amendment-protected rights of religious expression and free speech in these examples.

Citizens with religious convictions should note the following regarding their 14th Amendment protections. Acts 22:23-30 shows that Paul claimed his rights as a Roman citizen to save himself from being flogged.
