Total violation of the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

This will be struck down.

There are hundreds of such cities now, perhaps thousands.

The Son of God goes forth to war
A kingly crown to gain;
His blood-red banner streams afar
Who follows in His train?
Who best can drink His cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain
Who patient bears his cross below,
He follows in His train.

The martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave;
Who saw is Master in the sky,
And called on Him to save.
Like Him, with pardon on His tongue,
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong!
Who follows in His train?

A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and flame.
They met the tyrant’s brandished steel,
The lion’s gory mane;
They bowed their necks the death to feel:
Who follows in their train?

A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Savior’s throne rejoice
In robes of light arrayed..
They climbed the steep ascent of heav’n;
Through peril, toil and pain;
O God, to us may grace be giv’n
To follow in their train.

—Reginald Heber, 1827.

So much for separation of church and state.

These sickos have to legislate their agenda.

Stike this down.

Has Austin not learned of the separation?

Looks like Meghan Stabler is down in the mud with this.

https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/hrc-gala-pays-tribute-to-austin-activist-meghan-stabler/1031514485

She is mentioned here...

“I firmly believe they waited to file until [Kavanaugh] was confirmed,” Meghan Stabler, a noted Austin LGBTQ activist and former board member of the Human Rights Campaign, told me.”

Pretty sure this is correct as well, https://personalstoriesproject.org/meghanstabler/

I wonder which ones on the Austin City Councle pushed this and I bet a dollar Meghan is tied in somehow.

Anyone in Austin that can make or disprove this possable connection?

The Bible believing churches that have chosen to be fence sitters have gotten us into this mess. And you know what Jesus said about that!

How would this work: whenever a congregation calls a pastor, or a bishop makes an appointment, will an Austin Human Rights Commissar sit in on the proceedings and approve the choice?

They can just refuse to hire them due to “lack of experience”, or “poor fit for the role” - like big companies do. No need to state the real reason.

You can bet that this won’t apply to the Black churches.

I’m seeing an awful lot of responses thinking churches will be protected by the Constitution. Wrong. Communist Russia had freedom of religion in its Constitution. The Constitution is no better than the courts that rule on it. Try buying your favorite gun in California.

Um, yeah it is clear cut under “incorporation” doctrine. First Amendment applies to all “state actors” including cities.
