Obama to Issue Gay Rights Executive Order
BBC News ^ | June 16, 2014 18:14 GMT | Associated Press

Posted on 06/16/2014 12:16:26 PM PDT by Up Yours Marxists

President Barack Obama will sign an order banning federal government contractors from discriminating against gay and transgender workers, officials have said.

The executive order follows years of pressure from gay rights groups.

Mr Obama cannot extend the protection to all American workers, however.

The order comes after far broader anti-discrimination legislation stalled in the Republican-led House of Representatives.

The executive order will apply only to federal contractors, which employ nearly one-quarter of the US workforce.

We probably do, but most people (even church-going Christians) don’t want to hear their message because it extends into sins well beyond and much more common than sodomy. Our lust, greed, and idolatry is a much greater evil than the butt pirates and carpet munchers.

Agreed that those are evil and we are guilty of them. I disagree that they are 'greater evils'. The in-your-face-pride behind homosexuality earned it a title of 'abomination' for a reason.

Not that it is a 'greater' sin than any other sin - but it is accompanied by a mindset that goes beyond simple satisfaction of self, it seeks to impose itself by force and loathes and hates those who will not share and accept their perversion.

I have not heard of many Adulterers that seek to force others to accept cheating on a spouse and family as a natural right, so much so that they seek to criminalize those who consider their acts a perversion.

The homosexual agenda is a movement of institutionalizing rape. Genesis 19 already illustrated that fact for us.

Nothing new under the sun.

>> I disagree that they are ‘greater evils’.

Individually, they are greater evils, excepting idolatry of course. But since only 2-5% of the population engages in gay sex and nearly 100% engages in one or more of the others, who contributes more to the moral decline of our nation?

I’m not discounting homosexuality as an abomination, but we each do need to look at our own lives to find a huge amount of greed, lust, idolatry, and yes—even great pride. Just look at how people behave behind the wheel of a car to see one example of our pride on display.

“Of course the first homosexual president would do this.”

****

That dubious distinction might go to James Buchanan.

Two responses needed:

1) NULLIFY THE ORDER

2) IMPEACH THE ONE UNCONSTITUTIONALLY ISSUING THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL ORDER

So many of my black friends are upset with Obama and his pro-gay agenda (not to mention his pro-amnesty stance).

These orders that ostensibly ban discrimination are actually demands that the contractors hire gays and mentally disturbed wrong body delusionals.

Unlike the silence at West Point, he’ll have an adoring audience here.
“In his latest visit, the President will headline the 15th annual Democratic National Committee LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) Leadership Council’s gala fundraiser in Manhattan.”

As things stand in federal contract administration, there is a minimum number of small businesses (minority or woman owned 8a) that have to be used.

Fall below that target, usually 10% of your subs or total employee base, and you are not competitive in your bid.

This means, to be effective, this new order will require people to declare they are homo (that they do so already is of no consequence), but moreover, the company has to keep ‘score’ (as it were), just so they can show the feds they are in compliance.

Imagine the homos screaming like little girls before this order takes effect that the company was tracking who was and was not homosexual.

The man never really “evolved”. He was ALWAYS for gay marriage.

As in most other issues, he LIED and then once elected, claimed he changed his mind.

Well pride is the seed to ALL sin.

Pride is the root of what caused Lucifer to fall according to the biblical account.

A crooked and perverse generation is what makes accepting homosexual deviancy possible.

Of course we were warned that because iniquity would abound, the love of many would grow cold.

Here we are.

And of course, “discriminating against” will be left extremely vague so as to make it cover just about whatever they want it to cover, no matter how ridiculous.

I can see Sociopaths lying about being gay to get into the WH or other important
facilities to plant bombs and assassinate leaders. Because they cannot apparently
be questioned properly if using the Gay card.

Homosexuals are by definition "insane" among other antisocial traits.

I don't know about y'all, but I'm pretty sick and tired of getting US news from overseas media.

Queers: "We are the 3.5%."

Tempest in a teapot?

Only a gay muslim would do the things he is doing . . . which is quite a head scratcher, because muslims are not known to be kind to sodomites.

Actually this to me is the frightening part...

federal contractors, which employ nearly one-quarter of the US workforce.

One quarter of the American work force!

I think that so many people accept homosexuality as normal because they want their own favorite sin accepted as well. They desire to be “authentic” and “accepted” more than anything and they will find themselves accepted into an authentic Hell one day.
