LGBT Groups: Christians ‘Have No Place in Government’
In a Christian Post column Samuel Smith reports:
LGBT activist groups are outraged that the Trump administration’s Department of Education invited speakers from two prominent conservative Christian family organizations to participate in a panel discussion on fatherhood held in advance of Father’s Day last week.
Politico reports that experts from the Family Research Council and Focus on the Family were invited to speak at a day-long conference hosted by the Education Department that addressed how fathers can be engaged in their children’s lives.
Both FRC, headed by Tony Perkins, and Focus on the Family, led by Jim Daly and founded by James Dobson, are known for advocating in accordance with biblical beliefs on sexuality and the belief that marriage is only a union between one man and one woman.
However, the pro-LGBT advocacy group Human Rights Campaign believes that the organization’s’ beliefs in traditional marriage and opposition to same-sex marriage should make their employees disqualified from being given a government-funded platform to voice their views on marriage and family.
This sentiment was echoed by Senator Bernie Sanders during the questioning of Russell Vought, who was nominated by President Donald Trump to be Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget:
The First Amendment to the Constitution reads:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Groups like the Family Research Council and Focus on the family and individuals like Russell Vought, are exercising their right to exercise their Christian religion.
GLAAD has labeled the Family Research Council and Focus on the Family “anti-LGBTQ hate groups.” In April 2017 the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) had their Free Speech bus damaged. According to NOM:
LGBT extremists did everything in their power to prevent us from completing the #FreeSpeechBus tour to promote a national conversation on the biological nature of gender – including engaging in violence, property damage and acts of intolerance, as well as coordinating with anarchist groups – but I’m pleased to say that we overcame them and completed the tour this morning in Washington, DC.
NOM joined with CitizenGO and the International Organization for the Family (IOF) to sponsor the tour as a way of provoking a national discussion about the biological truth of gender and to hit “pause” on the headlong push by the left to redefine gender based on “identity” and “feelings.” Throughout the tour we encountered the ugly side of the LGBT movement, which repeatedly engaged in violence and assault, and inflicted substantial property damage, in a failed effort to derail the bus tour.
Shockingly, we also discovered the deep coordination that exists between Democratic politicians, LGBT groups and extremists, including anarchists who are bent on destroying civil society.
America’s public schools, via homosexual groups like the Gay, Lesbian, Straight, Education Network (GLSEN), have worked to recruit America’s youth to the homosexual lifestyle. GLSEN has used the mantra of bullying and ideology of diversity to gain access to our most vulnerable, our prepubescent children.
