<>A federal appeals court says a government agency cannot enforce anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination employment rules against a Texas company owned by a conservative Christian
A federal agency cannot force a Texas-based conservative Christian business to comply with policies barring discrimination against LGBTQ+ employees or job applicants, a federal appeals court has ruled.
The decision by a panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity cannot deny Braidwood Management an exemption from anti-discrimination policies designed to protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination under Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act. Braidwood is entitled to the exemption under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, the ruling said.
“Being forced to employ someone to represent the company who behaves in a manner directly violative of the company’s convictions is a substantial burden and inhibits the practice of Braidwood’s beliefs,” Judge Jerry Smith wrote for the panel of three 5th Circuit judges.
Braidwood wants to make sure it is not required to hire or retain any employee who “engages homosexual or transgender conduct,” according to the district court judge who first ruled in the case in 2021. And the company objects to EEOC policies forbidding gender-specific dress codes or requirements that employees use “bathrooms that conform to biological sex.”

Whoa - Happy Pride Month!
Giving new meaning to the month of June
Good news story of the day. Next step is to outlaw their lifestyles...again.
They only wanted tolerance ? Nope. They wanted capitulation of Christians and worship of their perverse lifestyle and degeneracy. Yes, they most certainly are coming for the kids.
Bkmk
Thank god it is over today.
It’s been a wonderful 4th of July celebration already! No more EEO crap for university admissions, no catering to gays against your faith, and no forcing taxpayers to pick up student loan debt. This is icing on the cake.
Sorry, Biden’s fake admiral transvestite Richard Levine called for a “summer of luv.”
Whatever happened to hiring the best person for the job?

Quotes from the twitchy thread:
“As Pride month draws to a close, I want to thank each and every person who made Pride so toxic that only pedophiles will ever want to be involved again.”
“If it wasn’t for Dylan, people still might be drinking the piss water that is Bud Light. Thank you, Dylan.”
“If it wasn’t for Target, people still might not know just how deeply involved corporatism is with the pushing of trans ideology onto little children. Thank you, Target.”
“If it wasn’t for the naked bikers in Seattle riding bikes adorned with rainbow flags, people still would think that it was just a myth. Thank you, bikers.”
The Twitchy thread continues on thanking several people and groups for showing their true colors during “pride’s decadence” month.
They pushed and they pushed and they pushed too far! The progressive leftist pedophiles misjudged seriously when they came for the children.
That went the way of the DoDo Bird. That was when America was a Great Country. In 2020 the American people said, via their votes, “We no longer want to be Great and prosperous. We want to be a Nation of degenerates.” Therefore, they kicked out President Trump, an honest man who wished America to prosper. And elected in his place Lying Joe Biden, the biggest liar and pervert in the history of man to rule over them.
Who said they are not hired because of descrimination?
They aren’t hired because of discernment. They are not qualified.
It will never be over
I don’t like the idea of “exemptions” from leftist dictates. This right should be and is the company’s right by default, by no one’s leave.
