Gay rights supporters push beyond marriage to broader legal protections
The Houston Chronicle ^ | June 27, 2015 | Paul Kane, The Washington Post |

Posted on 06/28/2015 4:36:53 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Fresh off their biggest legal victory, gay rights supporters began to expand their efforts beyond same-sex marriage to a broad push to rewrite civil rights law and extend protections to other personal and financial actions.

A liberal coalition spanning gay rights groups and traditional African-American leaders turned its attention to a new legislative bid to outlaw discrimination against homosexuals in employment, housing, financial dealings and other regular actions not protected under the Supreme Court's ruling declaring same-sex marriage a constitutional right.

"You can be married on Saturday, post your pictures on Instagram on Sunday and fired from your job on Monday," Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., the lead sponsor in the House of the new legislation, said Saturday.

After Friday's ruling, Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., the sponsor of the legislation in that chamber, emailed thousands of supporters asking them to get behind the new bid because, despite the marriage decision, it is still legal in some states to "kick someone out of a diner or other public accommodation because of who they love."(continued)

The Book of Revelations states that the Anti-Christ will be a man of “unnatural affections.” I’ve been watching the brainwashing for decades, knowing that things are being set up for his worldwide rule and his agenda.

When the White House exposes itself as being a gay flag, we are now Sodom and Gomorrah. Most of the world will worship that Beast and deny Christ on His return. It is all been revealed in Bible prophecy. Not one prediction from scripture has yet to fail.

The Books of Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelation are a hologram of the same period of time. Daniel from the world’s perspective, Ezekiel from the Jewish perspective and Revelations from the Christian perspective.

The minor prophets and New Testament scriptures add details.

It is time to look up. Our salvation draweth nigh.

It's already there. Citing the 14th amendment made it so.

True. However the Bible also states that not all men will follow the beast and they will be beheaded for refusing to bow to his ways. In Revelations, they are known as the “Tribulation Saints. Many will become Christians during that time. They will suffer greatly before they die.

Really want to piss off the homosexuals?

There’s several ways. Show them tolerance, but not respect.

They crave society’s respect. They demand it, even. They expect it now, after the idiotic USSC decision. And when they don’t get it, it drives them crazy.

Little things, like always using “homosexual”, not “gay” or “same-sex”. Pointing out that homosexual behavior is a biological dead-end. Pointing out that they are only 2.5% of the population, not 10%. These things drive them insane!

Tolerance, but not respect.

the queers are trying to create new laws for themselves so that they will become lords over everyone else.

They didn't get here without already infiltrating media and boardrooms. They already are on the way to lording it over everyone else.

349 corporations pushed for the Supreme Court to rule this way. Many of them took to socialist media to cheer when the ruling came. Some have been doing advocacy tv advertising. It does nothing to advance their bottom line or sell more product or build market share. It's political action.

Fairies and Communists by Jack Paar

There used to be a time when it looked like the Communists were taking over show business. Now it's fairies. They operate a lot alike, actually; both have a tendency to colonize. Just as there used to be no such thing as one Communist in a play or movie, now there is no such thing as one fairy. Where you find one, you usually find a baker's dozen swishing around. I had a little game I used to play when I was an actor in Hollywood, back in the days when Communists or Communist sympathizers were nearly as plentiful in the film capital as yes-men. If I spotted someone in a picture who was a Communist or leftist, I could usually pick out several others. They always came in sets. Now I play it a different way. When I hear that some fairy is producing or directing or acting in a play, I can often name some of the rest of the cast, even if I've never heard it. But Communists and fairies do differ in some respects. The Hollywood Communists had their "Unfriendly Ten," who refused to testify before a Congressional Committee, but the fairies are overfriendly. They do say no occasionally. "When a fairy says no," Alex King has observed, "he almost throws his back out of joint." The poor darlings, as they sometimes call themselves, are everywhere in show business. The theater is infested with them and it's beginning to show the effects. "The New York theater is dying," the late Ernie Kovacs complained recently, "Killed by limp wrists."

The dance is a mecca for the gamboling third sex, which prompted Oscar Levant to observe that "ballet is the fairies' baseball." The movies have long been a happy hunting ground for them, and now they're starting to take over television. No TV variety show seems complete without a group of fairy dancers leaping about with balloons.

George Jean Nathan wrote long ago, "What we need is more actors like Jack Dempsey. Jack may not be much of an actor but his worst enemy cannot accuse him of belonging to the court of Titania." Alas, things have been getting worse ever since.

The increasing emasculation of our stage seems to stem in part from the influence of actors from England, where homosexuality is rampant in the theater. Kenneth Tynan, the British critic, has acknowledged the growth there of the theatrical phenomenon known as "camp" whose distinguishing feature, he says, is a marked inclination toward the dainty, the coy and the exuberantly fussy. "High comedy in England is nowadays hostage in the camp of camp," he lamented. "With each new season its voice gets shriller and its blood runs thinner."

Formerly playwrights were writing plays about fairies and now they're writing plays for them. There was a wonderful scene in Peter Pan when Mary Martin turned and asked the audience if they believed in fairies and they answered with an affirmative roar. I began to get worried when the cast started drowning out the audience.

Not only have homosexuals taken over a leading role in the theater, but the theme of homosexuality is becoming increasingly prominent on the stage as witness Advise and Consent, Compulsion, The Best Man and Tea and Sympathy, some of which have been produced on both the stage and screen. Recently, not one but two versions of the life of Oscar Wilde were showing in New York.

A half century ago Wilde was jailed and disgraced in England for "The love that dared not speak its name," yet today actors found guilty of the same offense become not only famous but honored. One of England's most noted actors and a popular American male singer have both been convicted of homosexuality without it adversely affecting their public lives or careers.

I first noticed the widespread prevalence of homosexuality in Hollywood, which boasted a Fairyland long before it had a Disneyland. Fresh out of the Army, and rather naive, it became as quite a shock to discover that some of Hollywood's biggest he-man stars were actually more interested in each other than in the glamorous actresses they made love to before the cameras. One virile looking Western star was such a gay Caballero that he had to be restrained from riding side saddle. Another gorgeous hunk of man, whom millions of girls sighed over, had his voice dubbed by another actor to disguise its girlish quality. Other male stars, known as AC-DC types, are ambidextrous and can't decide what to do when confronted by "His" and "Hers" towels. In New York they are prominent in all of the arts. They cavort in ballet. They flutter on the Broadway stage. And they are everywhere in television. Wherever there is one you will find others. They are highly organized and indefatigable at assisting each other.

Although fairies are usually cool toward women, for some reason they seem irresistibly attracted to comediennes. Perhaps being a comedienne is unnatural for a woman, like playing the bass fiddle or pole-vaulting, which may be the reason why they have such an attraction for the limp-wristed set. There always seems something terribly sad about many comediennes, for all their talent, as they are almost inevitably surrounded by these demimales. I once mentioned on such famous comedienne to a friend of mine. "She is terribly amusing," the friend said. Then he added, wistfully: "Of course, she has no alternative."

Once Wilson Mizner, the noted wit, was having lunch at a New York hotel with Marshall Neilan, the director. At an adjoining table were several fairies, giggling as gaily as four suburban housewives having butterscotch sundaes at Schraffts. Annoyed by the girlish carrying-on, Mizner began directing audible disparaging remarks at the group. The giggling died away and the group began to direct some cold glares at Mizner and Neilan. Still Mizner continued to aim his loud barbs until violence seemed imminent. Neilan suddenly became philosophical. "Wouldn't it be strange," he mused, "if on Judgment Day it turned out they were right?" I feel quite sure it won't - but that's their problem. I just wish they would leave show business alone, and stop leaping about with their balloons on television.

We occasionally have fashion shows on our program so I've had a chance to observe at firsthand the havoc that limp-wristed designers and hair dressers and make-up men have wrought upon once beautiful girls. When they finish accentuating the hollow cheeks, the pallor and the blue circles under the eyes, the models look less made-up than embalmed. One night a group of them trooped out modeling bathing suits and they were so skinny and unfeminine I thought it was the mile relay team from the YMCA. Gradually I've become so accustomed to seeing these bony, boyish figures that I was pleasantly surprised one night when one model appeared displaying a full-blown figure with ample curves. Later I commented backstage on how rare it was now to see a model with curves. Our wardrobe lady chuckled cynically. "When she took off that bathing suit and dropped it on the floor," she said, "it bounced for five minutes."

Another lovely girl who managed to escape the ministrations of the fairy Svengalis is the 1961 Miss Universe, Marlene Schmidt. She is a tall, ravishing blonde with a figure like God intended woman to have, without alterations by Slenderella or some delicate designer. I asked her measurements and she told me they were 95-45-95! This was in centimeters, it turned out, but even measured in inches her endowments were opulent. The reason she still possessed her naturally lovely figure and rosy-cheeked, healthy face, I discovered, was that she was a recent refuge from East Germany and our fairy fashion fraternity hadn't gotten their clutches on her yet. Because of all this I've started my campaign to save our starving models by sending them CARE packages. For Christmas I plan to send my friends cards with notes saying that donations in their names have been made to Jinx Falkenburg.

I hope that all red-blooded men will rally to my crusade to have girls look like girls again. If we show our determination I'm sure that women will throw off the tyranny of fairy designers. They have nothing to lose but their falsies. Meantime, I must go now and give a blood transfusion to Suzy Parker

GWB and several Senators have purchased ranches in Paraguay. They know it’s coming. They have their bolt-holes waiting. If I remember correctly, W’s ranch has 400,000 acres.

I agree, there is more to come. I think a big push will be made to repeal the 2nd Amendment and take away our guns to control secession movements.

Yes, the Lord is near! Read Romans 1:18-end. Homosexuality IS God’s punishment to the unbelieving. I think that is why Christians have been constrained by Him and unsuccessful in their opposition to it. God is exacting His wrath. The ungodly are reaping it within their own tortured bodies even while celebrating it! God knows what He is doing.
We believers must stick together and protect our own during this time of trouble.

I think y’all are missing the point here. The nugget in this BS is there. “Acoalition of (queers) and African Americans”. Most blacks are agin queer marriage. They gotta do something quick to keep them on the Rat plantation.
