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.

Of course they don’t want to hear it. It’s devastating to their case.

“One Faggy Evening”

A WB cartoon from the early 22nd century where a construction worker finds a group of homosexuals holed up under the remains of an old Broadway theatre. Unable to accept that people so outrageous could still be alive he takes them to show his coworkers, friends, and even a minister but whenever they are around other people all they can seem to care about is bran muffins or if kids are on their lawns.

One would have to assume that islam will be included in these hate group profiles, right? RIGHT?

So you go to church you belong to a hate group?

Guess I better start looking at an opposition group to join. Without the benefit of Soros money.

An interesting challenge.

Homo “marriage” was never about equality, it was always about their hate for traditional America. They have never wanted “equality”, they want you to like them.. not just accept them, but to like them. They want to use the force of government to do it.
I blame this type of “progress” on the people who all jumped on the homo marriage bandwagon in the name of “equality” and moral consistency.

Remember, it’s never about what they say it’s about..

So, if we don't hate the same things they do, we're a hate group.

How ironic that this campaign group is itself a hate group committing the hate crime of libel.
