In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, tech millionaire turned LGBTQ activist Tim Gill said hes aiming to punish Christians who dont want to participate in same-sex weddings.
For more than two decades, the software programmer has poured an estimated $422 million into various gay rights causes. After the Supreme Court ruled gay marriage legal in all 50 states in 2015, Gill turned his attention and resources to targeting Christians.
The election of Donald Trump, who claims to support gay rights but stocked his administration with anti-LGBTQ extremists, has only emboldened those looking to erase the gains of the past decade. Gill refuses to go on the defense. Were going into the hardest states in the country, he says. Were going to punish the wicked.
Allow me to add some context. After the Obergefell ruling in 2015, which forced all 50 states to perform same-sex marriages, several state legislatures passed protections to ensure that those who object to participating in a same-sex wedding for religious reasons have recourse when hauled into courts or extralegal commissions for this belief. Its these state laws that Gill and his various nonprofit entities have decided to go after and persecute Christians along the way.
Heres how Rolling Stone a magazine with a history of throwing journalistic ethics and pesky things like truth and accuracy out the window to advance a narrative that fits their agenda describes religious freedom restoration acts (RFRA): Under the guise of right-to-worship protections, these bills offer legal cover for individuals and businesses to deny service or otherwise discriminate against LGBTQ people, Rolling Stones Andy Kroll wrote.

Bring it!
It’s never enough for them. They always want to go one step further with deviancy.
The citizens of Sodom said much the same until the Angels revealed themselves.
It is not right to worship. That is the way the Progs want it. It is about free exercise thereof.
Thanks for the link. What it comes down to is that libs and LGBT-ers see islamists as “fellow travellers”. The misogyny and gay hatred in islam is, pardon the pun TRUMPED by their common hatred of all things Judeo-Christian and Western. So they seek an unholy alliance of convenience based on the dangerous assumption that an enemy of my enemy is my friend. And we all know what happens when we ASS U ME.
One day Gill will know personally that punishment of the wicked is GOD'S job and Gill will not be the one meting it out.
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight! (Isaiah 5:20,21)
On a related note, back in the early 90’s Louis Farrakhan spoke to 20k+ people at the Chicago Civic Ctr. He had everyone on their feet cheering wildly, including Jesse JAckson, Sharpton, Coretta King, Hosea Williams when he called homosexuality a bigger detriment to the sanctity of the Black family than drugs or racism. His second-in-command, Khaleed Mohammed spoke in front of over 5000 at Queens College. He brought the house down when he declared that any Black man who wears a dress does not deserve to walk the face of this earth(are you listening RuPaul? How ‘bout you Jada Smith?) Yet to this day not ONE word of protest from the HRC, SPLC, GLAAD or any of the usual suspects on the left.
Wealthy faggie with his boy toy & ready to punish anyone who objects. Head of the Pink Gaystapo.
IIRC, the enemy of your enemy can stick a knife in you when convenient.
It is obvious that Mr. Gill believes that his billions will buy those “feet of clay” that he walks on whatever his heart desires. However, our God has said in his word that “no weapon formed against us will prosper.” Gill is positioning himself to punish the people who serve the God of Creation with the power of his paper money. Not a good idea. Psalm 136 makes strong reference to what happens to those who ignore the power of the living God. We will pray for Mr. Gill that he will not perish but will somehow be introduced to our Heavenly Father whose word tells us how to live in this world with the greatest chance of peace and love which is not connected to the insatiable lusts of our bodies. It is obvious that what Gill worships breeds hatred in his heart for those who wish to see things in a different way without hurting him one bit in his life. Why doesn’t he set up his own bakery? Then he would have the right not to serve Christians. Instead, he wants to punish Christians because they are different in their need to live their lives as they see fit. Will Armageddon be ushered in because gays will never be satisfied that they have enough freedom until everyone else’s freedom is snuffed out? Seems like that is what they are after.
Are really sure about that?
For now that is.
They also forget that many Americans are armed to the teeth.
Please see post number 52. Thank-you!
But they view it as one and the same.
If you don't believe in God, then nature created man and woman.
The wicked get punished after their death on Earth. Until then, they have every chance to come to the Lord.
How come the citizens of this country, who don’t know which direction to point their peckers, have all the political power?
I have never met a liberal who understood what the word normal means.
Now I can understand why devout chrstians would see themselves as The Only Ones Out There (and indeed, most of the time they're the only ones who speak up). But why would secular anti-chrstians pretend as if there aren't other religions that oppose homosexuality just as much . . . one of which is the left's current club for bludgeoning opponents (islam)? Though of course "Blacks and Hispanics" for some reason never seem to be regarded as chrstians by "anti-chrstians."
But the thing is, it's not only chrstians who see themselves as the only game in town. Most so-called "anti-chrstians" seem to believe this as well, and define their entire lives by their "rebellion" against the "one true religion." In other words, most "anti-chrstianity" is merely inverted chrstianity, sharing the exact same worldview and self-identifying as wicked rebels who must take the opposite position on every issue.
What this actually means is that, despite the inversion of traditional moral values, chrstianity is still the default position for both the pious and the impious . . . ergo, it is still very much a chrstian world, as strange as that may sound.
Neither the chrstians nor their mirror reflections seem to be able to understand that Judaism was here first, that chrstianity is an innovation and a deviation from Judaism, that the ancient Israelites were Jews and not chrstians or proto-chrstians, and that the Hebrew Bible (including every "anti-chrstian's" punching bag, the Book of Genesis) is not chrstian at all.
Both the chrstians and their inverted opponents at heart share a worldview that is totally false.
