Commission says Christian business owners should leave religion at home

The Human Rights Commission in Lexington, Kentucky has a chilling message for Christian business owners who refuse service to LGBT organizations: leave your religion at home.

“It would be safe to do so, yes,” Executive Director Raymond Sexton told me. “Or in this case you can find yourself two years down the road and you’re still involved in a legal battle because you did not do so.”

On Tuesday, a Lexington Human Rights Commission hearing examiner issued a recommended ruling that the owner of a T-shirt company violated a local ordinance against sexual-orientation discrimination. You can read the ruling by clicking here.

“It was a landmark decision,” Sexton said. “This is a very important ruling for us.”

The examiner concluded that Blaine Adamson of Hands On Originals broke the law in 2012 by declining to print shirts promoting the Lexington Pride Festival. The Gay and Lesbian Services Organization subsequently filed a complaint.

“The examiner also ordered Adamson to attend “diversity training” conducted by – wait for it – the Lexington Human Rights Commission.

Take just a moment and let that sink in – a Christian business owner is being ordered to attend diversity training – because of his religious beliefs. That’s a pretty frightening concept and a mighty dangerous precedent.

“That is certainly one of the dangers of an order like that – for the government to step in and order (what is essentially) a re-education of its citizens,” Campbell told me. “That’s a dangerous precedent for the government to engage in.””

Our new tactic has to be along these lines.

So now gays are free to come out of the closet but you’re for forcing others to keep their religious beliefs in the closet?

How enlightened. How hypocritical. Let’s use all the arguments they use about gays and being open and free to express themselves, blah blah blah, and turn it into the very same arguments for christians. use their own logic against them.

and either make them have to allow us our freedoms, or be shown for the hypocrites they are. if they oppose it explain how hypocritical they’re being when it’s people they disagree with. We have to let others we disagree with be free, they simply won’t allow others to do that if they don’t agree with them.

that’s the definition of tyranny. if it’s my logic and i like/agree with them, they can do that and you can’t object, but if you use my logic but i disagree with them, you can’t do that and you can’t object i’m being hypocritical and morally inconsistent.

I wish I had a business, just so I could tell a judge or a “commission” to KMA when I refused to serve the sodomite agenda, I really do. The owner should tell them that the day they order a Muslim business to sell pork and serve sodomites is the day he will attend indoctrination classes. I wish all the bad things in the world upon these evil creeps.

As a rule of thumb, I do my best to avoid conducting business in any jurisdiction with a "Human Rights Commission."

This is where I have no problem with American companies shipping millions of jobs overseas. Hey -- if you're going to have to deal with a totalitarian Communists, you might as well do business with the ones in China, Cambodia and Latin America who will cost you less money in the long run.

A mixture of fascism and moral evil.

Sometimes it just seems so bitterly funny that we’re all concerned about ISIS, Putin, China and whatnot, right when we allow such evil to rule right here in our own midst.

“...leave your religion at home.”

How about they leave their perversity at home. The Founders never wrote about, “Freedom of Perversity”.

It was being planned for years by businesses ordering their employees to “diversity training”, and judges in other states ordering Christian business owners who refused to support there sodomite agenda, to go to indoctrination classes. It will only continue and escalate until a lot of Christian business owners, and employees, just say “No” to these evil people, and put in terms they may understand, by telling that they’ll go when they force Muslims to go.

The good news is that all this sh!t is going to end in the U.S. in the not-too-distant future.

The bad news is that it's going to happen only after the country is filled with Mexican Muslims.
