IRS Grants Anti-LGBT Hate Group Family Research Council Church Status From IRS

LIES & GARBAGE: Family Research Center Hate Group Attacks “the so-called Equality Act.”

Via email blast:

While many across our country are facing severe winter weather crises, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives is creating a different type of storm in our nation’s capital as they try to push through one of the worst bills imaginable – the so-called “Equality Act.”
 
I realize that by now you may be tired of hearing about the Equality Act and the problems it poses. Yet we have been warning about it for some time because it represents a grave threat – not just on one issue – but to many of the values that our nation holds dear.
 
And the threat is truly serious. The Equality Act would overhaul our federal civil rights framework to mandate abortion access and special privileges for sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI), leaving many to suffer the consequences, including women, children, medical professionals, and people of faith.
 
The Equality Act mandates an anti-life, anti-family, and anti-faith agenda upon all Americans.
 
Please contact your Representative today to tell them NOT to cosponsor and NOT to support the Equality Act.
 
Here is a brief overview of some of the problems with the Equality Act:
 
The Equality Act jeopardizes women’s privacy and safety.
 
The Equality Act’s expansion of the Title II “Public Accommodations” definition means that females would no longer have privacy in public bathrooms, locker rooms, showers, or even battered women’s shelters. State and local laws to this effect are already causing fallout: A kindergartener was assaulted by a boy in her school bathroom. A rape survivor was forced to quit her job when her employer began allowing men into women’s private facilities. A man was allowed residence in a shelter, and nine women are suing because they were sexually harassed.
 
The Equality Act unfairly penalizes female athletes by allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports.
 
For example, biological boys won first and second place at a Connecticut girls’ high school indoor track championship. As a result, two biological girls fell below the threshold to advance to the next meet, inhibiting their ability to be seen by college recruiters and obtain scholarships. Scholarships are sometimes the only avenue students have to pursue higher education, which could lead to better job opportunities and better pay.
 
The Equality Act would undermine real civil rights gains women have made.
 
For example, the Small Business Administration Office of Women’s Business Ownership, whose mission is to “enable and empower women entrepreneurs through advocacy, outreach, education and support,” would have to give biological men who identify as women access to its programs.
 
The Equality Act would interfere with the medical profession.
 
It would force doctors and others who provide legitimate hormone treatments and surgical procedures for patients with certain physical conditions to offer those treatments for individuals with gender dysphoria. Their moral or medical opinions about assisting individuals in physically altering their bodies would be disregarded. Medicine would be politicized despite science telling us these treatments are actually harmful. A 2011 Swedish study, one of the most robust on the issue, found that post-surgery individuals had a suicide completion rate 19 times higher than the general population. The risk of psychiatric hospitalization was 2.8 times higher even after adjustment for prior psychiatric disease. Additionally, death by neoplasm (a benign or cancerous mass) and cardiovascular disease was 2 to 2.5 times higher. There is also evidence that puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones can cause cancer, heart disease, diabetes, blood clots, stroke, and more. The Equality Act’s requirements would override a doctor’s concern about any of these points.
 
The Equality Act could erode parental rights.
 
When Ohio parents declined hormone treatment for their child, the Children’s Hospital of Cincinnati involved child protective services, and the parents were ultimately stripped of their parental rights.
 
The Equality Act would severely erode religious freedom.
 
The Equality Act expressly exempts itself from the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), our flagship religious liberty law.
 
The Equality Act’s expansion of public accommodations could require churches and houses of worship to violate their beliefs regarding how they use their facilities.
 
Its changes to employment law would prohibit some houses of worship from ensuring their clergy and employees abide by their doctrines or beliefs about marriage, sexual behavior, and the distinction between the sexes.
 
Federal aid could be denied to students attending faith-based institutions unless those institutions abandon policies and practices reflecting their sincerely held beliefs about marriage and sexuality.
 
The Equality Act would inhibit faith-based charities’ ability to operate.
 
Faith-based organizations and others play a vital role in the adoption and foster care system and generally receive funding under Title IV of the Social Security Act to help do their important work. The Equality Act would force them to violate their beliefs or shut down, displacing children like the thousands left hanging in Illinois when Catholic Charities was shut down under a similar law.
 
The Equality Act could be the most pro-abortion legislation to pass the House in a decade.
 
Not only would this bill expand “public accommodations” to include health care providers, but it would add sex discrimination as a protected class. It would then define prohibitions on “sex discrimination” to include preventing treating “pregnancy…or a related medical condition” (which can include abortion) less favorably than other physical conditions. This change would essentially create an abortion mandate. In conjunction with the RFRA exemption and expansion of what constitutes a public accommodation, this also jeopardizes long-standing federal conscience laws that protect those opposed to abortion. The Hyde Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer funding for abortion, would also be in jeopardy.
 
The Equality Act shamefully attempts to usurp the civil rights movement’s history and legacy.
 
In no way are one’s sexual conduct and inclinations equivalent to skin color. Suggesting or implying as much diminishes the hard-fought gains of this movement. Indeed, scientific evidence shows that “sexual orientation” is quite fluid and that “gender identity” is not fixed. But if the Equality Act becomes law, its backers may use the courts to force its ideas into public school curricula around the country. Indeed, the idea that these notions are equivalent to skin color is false, and failure to recognize this falsehood only harms all affected.
 
The Equality Act mandates an anti-life, anti-family, and anti-faith agenda upon all Americans.
 
Please contact your Representative today to tell them NOT to cosponsor and NOT to support the Equality Act.

Gird your loins boys and girls because this is the type of pure bullshit every homophobe and hate group across America will be spewing over the next few months. We cannot be passive and hope Congress does the right thing.

WE MUST FIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE EQUALITY ACT FINALLY PASSES!

Top 10 States With the Most Active Hate Groups Per Person

Judge Rules Indiana Hate Groups Cannot Challenge LGBT Rights Laws

In 2015 Mike Pence, signed a “religious freedom” bill into law in Indiana that caused a  national uproar because it could be used to discriminate against gays and lesbians. Days later, legislators made revisions blocking its use as a legal defense for refusing to provide services, goods, facilities or accommodations on the basis of race, religion, gender, military service or sexual orientation. Pence fearing boycotts of the state then signed those revisions into law.

Various Indiana anti-lgbt hate groups including the The Indiana Family Institute, Indiana Family Action and the American Family Association of Indiana then filed a lawsuit against the newly revised law claiming that the changes threatened to “substantially burden” a person’s ability to follow his or her religious beliefs. (Their definition of “person” includes religious institutions, businesses and associations) And would also hinder their ability to speak out against same-sex marriages and would expose them to claims of discrimination in hiring.

The lawsuit also challenged local civil rights ordinances that include protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity in Indianapolis, Carmel, Bloomington and Columbus, which is Pence’s hometown.

On Wednesday Hamilton County Judge Michael Casati canceled the trial finding that the “conservative groups” failed to prove they were harmed by the changes or by the civil rights ordinances. Casatit did not elaborate on how he reached the decision.

At the time of this posting 21 Indiana cities or counties — representing about 38% of the state’s population — now have local LGBT protection ordinances.

Federal Judge Rules That A Hate Group Can Be Called A Hate Group

Via The Associated Press:

A federal judge says a liberal advocacy group has a First Amendment right to call a Christian ministry a hate group for its opposition to homosexuality. U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson threw out a lawsuit filed by the Florida-based Coral Ridge Ministries Media Inc. against the Southern Poverty Law Center of Montgomery, Alabama.

The ministry sued the law center, Amazon and others in 2017 because it wasn’t included in a program that lets Amazon customers donate to nonprofit groups. The suit says the refusal was because the law center had labeled the ministry a hate group for its stance against homosexual behavior.

Thompson’s 141-page decision stated that the watchdog organization has a free-speech right to make the claim, but he didn’t address whether the ministry is a hate organization.

“Any organization we list as a hate group is free to disagree with us about our designation, but this ruling underscores that the designation is constitutionally protected speech and not defamatory,” said Karen Baynes-Dunning, interim president of the SPLC.

SPLC defines a hate group as an organization that attacks or maligns an entire class of people, typically over characteristics such as race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity. SPLC is based in Alabama, which is where the ministries filed its lawsuit and Thompson is a U.S. District Court judge.

Thompson also dismissed Coral Ridge/Kennedy Ministries’ claims against Amazon

Boston Straight Pride Parade A Bust, Marchers Outnumbered by Counter-Protesters and Riot Police

Boston Straight Pride Parade A Bust, Marchers Outnumbered by Counter-Protesters and Riot Police

Only about 100 – 150 people showed up today to march in the much hyped Boston “Straight Pride Parade”. Despite the months of publicity they were out-numbered by far larger crowds of counter-protesters and a heavy police presence.

Organizers from the group Super Happy Fun America (SHFA) staged the march from Copley Square to City Hall Plaza to draw attention to the straight or heterosexual community. 

However, the parade the parade and some of its featured speakers consisted mostly of Donald Trump supporters many of which have ties to far-right organizations like Resist Marxism and the Proud Boys, two groups that have been associated with violence at similar events.

Boston Pride tweeted a statement about the parade, writing in part, “It has become increasingly clear that the Straight Pride Parade is organized by a group of white supremacists and is an attempt to bait the Boston LGBT community, as well as racial and ethnic minority communities in Boston. It’s a trolling event, designed to get a rise out of vulnerable communities.”

At 7 p.m. Saturday, Boston police had arrested 34 people. Four officers were injured, and none of those injuries were considered serious.

PayPal Cancels Boston's Straight Pride Fundraising Account, Labeled "Hetrophobic"

PayPal Cancels Boston’s Straight Pride Fundraising Account, Labeled “Hetrophobic”

Clutch those pearls!:

Super Happy Fun America received an email from PayPal on July 29, 2019 notifying us that our account had been permanently limited. This means that we can no longer use PayPal to collect donations. In the same manner as other corporations, they accused us of violating their “Acceptable Use Policy” without citing any violation. In fact, they didn’t even bother to fill in the space on their template. This is an act of cowardice likely designed to avoid a lawsuit by not having a reason on record. We will prove them wrong!

PayPal is just the latest corporation to cancel or suspend Super Happy Fun America’s accounts. BlueHost suspended our website. Patreon and Constant Contact both cancelled our accounts. Super Happy Fun America is a civil rights organization advocating on behalf of the straight community.

Massachusetts General Law c.272, s.98 prohibits discrimination based upon sexual orientation. Other states have similar laws. Super Happy Fun America will hold global corporations to account for their hate against our community. After Netflix attacked Super Happy America and straights two weeks ago their stock plummeted. If corporations think that they can get away with heterophobia then they better think again.

You can watch a clip of slob Straight (Far-right extremists, including the Proud Boys) Pride‘s John Hugo whining like a little man-baby about the “backlash” he has received on a segment of Watters World that of course was done on FOX News earlier this month.

LGBT Journalism Conference Blows Up After Emcee Calls Some Attendees ‘Things and Its’

LGBT Journalism Conference Blows Up After Emcee Calls Some Attendees ‘Things and Its’

The National Lesbian and Gay Journalists’ Association (NLGJA) annual conference blew up last Saturday night after the emcee of the organizations closing dinner Marshall McPeek, a meteorologist at a Sinclair-owned ABC affiliate station in Ohio called some attendees “things and its.”

McPeek during the final event of the conference, which was hosted by Fox News, began his remarks by saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, things and its.” The comment was widely regarded as offensive to trans and nonbinary reporters in attendance, with several taking to social media to express their concern.

McPeek returned to the stage to apologize and has since voluntarily resigned from the organization.

The NLGJA noted in a statement that McReak was a “volunteer emcee” at the event.

“We’ve worked hard for many years to make NLGJA an inclusive organization for transgender and nonbinary journalists,” the NLGJA wrote in the statement. “People were understandably hurt and offended by last night’s remarks. As journalists, we understand uniquely that words matter.”

“We apologize and are committed to working to make NLGJA more inclusive and diverse,” the group added.

Full disclosure:  I was once involved with the NLGJA and Fox News is a major contributor to the organization thanks to Adam K. Pawlus, NLGJA’s executive director and resident republican.  

Major Cities Across America Reject Hosting the Next Republican National Convention

Major Cities Across America Reject Hosting the Next Republican National Convention

Via The Hill

Cities across the country are turning down the opportunity to host the 2020 Republican National Convention, where Donald Trump is expected to be nominated for a second term.

“Most of the cities that have turned down the RNC are Democratic cities,” said Evan Siegfried, a New York-based Republican strategist.

“Their leaders do not want to suffer blowback with their residents for hosting Trump and neither do they want to have local business owners angry because protestors smashed their store windows.”

Any convention attracts protestors, but the interest and passion stirred up in the Trump era, breathlessly covered by cable news networks, is expected to attract throngs of presidential critics to a host city in 2020.

Adam Bruns, managing editor at Site Selection magazine, said any city hoping to host a mammoth event like a political convention would have to take security, protests and disruption into account.

“Unlike most corporate site selections, conventions bring armies of protestors — virtually a complete menu of side evens with their own security and traffic demands,” Bruns said.

Only three cities are even in the running to host the GOP in 2020 — and only one, Charlotte, N.C., is public and open about its interest.

As for the Democrats they are currently reviewing bids from at least eight cities.

Well for the RNC they can always have it at Mar-a-Largo!

D-List Hate Group Leader "Porno Pete" LaBarbera Join's Z-List Hate Group MassResistance

D-List Hate Group Leader “Porno Pete” LaBarbera Join’s Z-List Hate Group MassResistance

It has been announced that D-List hate group leader “Porno Pete” LaBarbera of the now (hopefully) defunct Americans For Truth About Homosexuality and who is best known for going “deep undercover” at the Folsom Street Fair will be joining the Z-List anti-LGBT group MassResistance.

From the announcement made by MassResistance:

Peter LaBarbera, a premier front-line culture war fighter with a stellar career going back to the 1980s, has joined the MassResistance staff. “We are extremely fortunate to have Peter LaBarbera,” said Brian Camenker, president of MassResistance. “MassResistance has been expanding and we have needed someone of his caliber for a while. It will really bring our fight to a new level.”

These days, most people know Peter LaBarbera as president of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality (AFTAH), which has gained national stature. AFTAH will continue to post high-quality material on the LGBT issue, while working more closely with MassResistance.

“Pete truly understands this larger battle in a fundamental way that 95% of today’s pro-family leaders and activists simply haven’t grasped,” said Camenker. “The power of truth and not backing down – fearlessness – is so fundamental. I can’t overstate how important that is when confronting the vicious and militant LGBT movement infiltrating our schools and society.”

MassResistance is best known for its continually losing battle against LGBT rights for the past 20 years in Massachusetts.  

The group which is on the extreme fringe right is so embarrassing that even the Family Research Council refuses to recognize them and were banned from sponsoring a table at the Conservative Political Action Conference after organizers found a video of Camenker saying that there is “a place for being insulting and degrading” in the fight against LGBTQ rights. LaBarbera quickly came to Camenker’s defense.

LaBarbera has also been promoting Camenker’s recent book “The Health Hazards of Homosexuality,” including offering copies of the book to supporters in exchange for a $100 donation. To date none have been reported given away.

Porno Pete and Brian Cankersore.  A match made in hell.

* A Few Fun Facts about Brian Camenker and MR:

— Published a propaganda book titled “The Health Hazards of Homosexuality” 

— Says this is a “war” and God wants LGBTQ activists “destroyed” because “they would send us to concentration camps if they could”

— Claims anti-LGBT Christians are suffering like Jews in Nazi Germany: “I saw what happened to Jews in the 1930s and 40s and much of that same thing is happening to Christians now”

— Said gay people are like Nazis: “The Big Lie technique (like other remnants of Nazism and the Nazi movement) has been a focus of the homosexual movement since it coalesced in the late 1980s and began to use the media on a large scale…The Big Lie was first described by Adolph Hitler in his writings, and later refined and put to use on a large scale by Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda.”

— Says equality activists go after vulnerable kids: “They go after kids who are troubled kids who have their own issues — psychological, emotional, what have you — and they try to tell them that they’re really ‘gay’ or ‘transgendered’ or something like that”

— Said: “Research shows that homosexual relationships are fundamentally dysfunctional on many levels, and “marriage” as we know it isn’t something they can achieve, or even desire. This is about putting the legal stamp of approval on homosexuality and imposing it with force throughout the various social and political institutions of a society that would never accept it otherwise. To the rest of America: You’ve been forewarned.”

— Said of LGBT activists: “They will attack anybody who speaks out. … That’s the depraved way these people work.”

— Brian’s organization is known to stand outside of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community events and stealthily take photos and video, including secretly filming folks visiting the restroom. They recently stood outside a bathroom and filmed transgender women who were going in to use the restroom

— Compares LGBT advocacy to Jim Crow laws: “Homosexuality is unnatural and you have to have—just like you had to have the Jim Crow laws to keep the races apart—you have to have these laws and diversity trainings and constant propaganda to keep it going”

South Carolina Republicans File Bill To Classify Same-Sex Marriage As “Parody Marriage”

According to the South Carolina Statehouse website, a bill titled the “Marriage and Constitution Restoration Act,” was introduced in the House, read for the first time and referred to Committee on Judiciary on February 15, 2018. “‘Parody marriage’ means any form of marriage that does not involve one man and one woman,” read the bill. “‘Marriage’ means a union of one man and one woman.”

From the bill:

Whereas, all forms of parody marriage and all self-asserted sex-based identity narratives and sexual orientations that fail to check out the human design are part of the religion of Secular Humanism; and

Whereas, the State of South Carolina’s decision to respect, endorse, and recognize parody marriages and sexual orientation policies has excessively entangled the government with the religion of Secular Humanism, failed to accomplish its intended purpose, and created an indefensible legal weapon against nonobservers; and

Whereas, in the wake of Obergefell v. Hodges, 135 S. Ct. 2584 (2015), there has not been a land rush on gay marriage, but there has been a land rush on the persecution of nonobservers by Secular Humanists and an effort by Secular Humanists to infiltrate and indoctrinate minors in public schools to their religious world view which is questionably moral, plausible, obscene, and is not secular; and

Whereas, it is unsettled whether or not sexual orientation is immutable or genetic and is therefore a matter of faith; and Whereas, parody marriages have never been a part of American tradition and heritage; and

Whereas, parody marriage policies and sexual orientation statutes are nonsecular and policies that respect, endorse, and recognize a marriage between a man and a woman are secular, accomplishing its intended objective.

This coming from a state that the age of consent is 16 and you can marry your first cousin.

Oh, and by the way South Carolina: your BBQ sucks.
