This problem, and many others, started because of the stupidity of making “sexual orientation” a status in the same protected areas as race, gender, religion, etc.
There is NOTHING wrong with being a certain race, colour, gender, religion, etc., and as such they should be protected.
However, there IS something wrong with the act of homosexuality, according to The Bible. This immediately causes a huge problem, which is now playing out.
This was not stupidity. This was the result of a long planned and long executed effort to "normalize" homosexuality. They have been calling the natural repugnance towards sodomites "discrimination" since the 1970s. They have merely gotten more vocal about it in the last Decade, thanks in part to ostensibly gay promoting shows like "Glee" and "Modern Family."
Hollywood and New York has been pushing this meme for quite some time, that being homosexual is exactly like being black. We couldn't stop them from doing this because our side has no voice on national television.
