LGBT advocates seek to label opponents as U.S. hate groups

By Daniel Trotta | NEW YORK

A liberal coalition on Thursday started a campaign to label social conservative organizations that oppose transgender rights as hate groups, ratcheting up the antagonism between opposing sides on one of America's most contentious debates.

The Eliminate Hate Campaign seeks to draw attention to groups it sees as extreme and hateful against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people, accusing them of hiding behind ostensibly Christian or family values.

Alarmed by a surge in reported hate crimes tied to the 2016 presidential campaign, the campaign will pressure the media to use the hate-group designation for about 50 organizations in the United States.

It also will encourage the public to oppose extremism and seek to diminish the prestige of groups it believes spread fear and lies about LGBT people.

Conservatives have promised to dig in for a long fight in the debate over whether transgender people deserve legal protection against discrimination and the right to use the public bathrooms of their choice.

I am convinced the LGBT community hates everyone else. Never anything nice to see about people who they don’t understand, are not like them.

The gay activists are some of the most bigoted and biased people in the world. They are seething with hatred and venom for anyone who doesn’t agree with them. They will stretch people’s tolerance and stretch it and stretch it. Eventually, something will snap, and they will reap the rewards of their own stupidity and hate.

...groups it believes spread fear and lies about LGBT people.

Eliminating Hate by spreading fear and lies about those "ostensibly Christian" or hiding behind family values?

How about the surge in debunked “reported hate crimes” that were falsely “tied to the 2016 presidential campaign?”

I got into that discussion at my job years ago. They didn’t want to hear that homos are not a race or a religion but a choice

I say we go on the offensive and get the fag-scists labled as hate groups. THEY are the ones forcing their dementia on everyone else.

Send a buck to that con artist Morris Dees and he’ll classify anything you want as a hate group (so long as it is right of Stalin).
