An intense financial
shakedown - is taking place in a number of states to accomplish one twisted
goal: to appease militants in the LGBT community and permit "gender
identity" to dictate which bathroom they use. The result: grown men, who
allegedly "identify" as a woman, will legally enter a bathroom being
occupied by girls and women.
Just days ago,
Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant signed the Religious Liberty Accommodations
Act, a bill protecting businesses and individuals from being forced to
participate in LGBT events.
The Act was
overwhelmingly passed by the Mississippi Senate and House and protects persons,
pastors, and closely held corporations from discrimination by the state or
state agencies, due to sincerely held religious beliefs or convictions.
The bill includes
marriage-related industries, adoptions and adoption agencies, churches and
pastors, businesses with private facilities like restrooms and lockers,
employers' grooming standards, and expressive activity of state employees. It
also permits clerks and others to recuse themselves from performing marriages
or issuing licenses for unions contrary to the grounds above, protecting the
right of conscience.
The bill's passage is
truly commendable and a powerful affirmation of religious liberty protections
for the people of Mississippi.
In response, the ACLU,
the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), and Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) were
quick to stage protests and to threaten action against Mississippi lawmakers.
MGM Resorts International, Nissan, Toyota, Tyson Foods, AT&T, IBM, and Levi
Strauss & Co all denounced the law as "discriminatory."
In North Carolina,
unless Governor Pat McRory repeals the Public Facilities Privacy and Security
Act, dozens of CEOs of American corporations in the pockets of LGBT activists
are threatening to remove revenue streams and major sporting events; the Obama
administration is poised to remove millions in federal funding to strong-arm NC
leadership; and other states and jurisdictions have banned travel to North
Carolina.
These corporate leaders
and liberal lawmakers have bowed to the LGBT agenda in calling such laws
"discriminatory." I call them
commonsense laws that protect the privacy and safety of women and girls. Bathroom
bills that allow men to use the women's restrooms and locker rooms are nonsense.
A biological man should use the men's restroom. How simple is that concept?
Liberty Counsel has
offered North Carolina state leaders our legal services and counsel in that
state's case since the sitting attorney general is refusing to defend the law.
Our legal team is
entrenched in the front lines of the battle to
preserve liberty, life,
and family every day, including "natural"
marriage. Our nationwide
"Push For Liberty" campaign is rallying citizens to stand for
marriage and to push back against judicial tyranny and corporate coercion.

Gays and
Trans-genders have not been added to the US Civil rights Act as protected
classes, but the Supreme Court Gay Marriage error has prompted State
Legislatures to try to pass laws to protect Pastors and business owners from
lawsuits.
Our
“global corporations” have intervened with this blackmail scheme at their own
risk. Most voters in most states would gladly avoid doing business with these
“global corporations” to punish them for meddling in voter rights and many
voters are doing this.
In
Georgia, we just had Governor Bad Deal refuse to sign our Pastor Protection
Bill when the NFL threatened to take Atlanta off the venue list for “all-star”
games. This follows a contentious $400
million bond voters are saddled with to build a new Braves Stadium. The
“jet-set” wants us to pay for new stadiums every 20 years. Voters are really
tired of this “trickle-up” redistribution of their wealth. With big jumps in ticket prices, I expect
ticket sales for these events to slump.
