Dem Rep: Religious Liberty Is a ‘Bogus Term’
freebeacon ^ | JUNE 15, 2020 | Paul Crookston

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D., N.Y.) said Monday that religious liberty is a "bogus term" that merely serves as a "pretext for discrimination."

Maloney was celebrating the morning's high-profile victory for LGBT rights at the Supreme Court, but he took time to criticize the author of the decision, Justice Neil Gorsuch, for having supported religious liberty.

"We know that Neil Gorsuch is a supporter of so-called religious liberty, which is a bogus term—it is actually some sort of pretext for discrimination hiding behind the guise of religion," Maloney said. "I'm still on the lookout for that from the author of this opinion."

Maloney went on to list the ways that "kids" have led the charge in progressive protest movements, such as gun control, arguing some of his congressional colleagues should be replaced by high school students.

"If we had more high school kids in Congress, we'd be a better country," he said.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination, protects lesbian, gay, and transgender workers. Gorsuch, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, delivered the opinion in a six-to-three decision.

Maloney cochairs the Congressional LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus and has previously criticized defenders of religious liberty for attempting to "sanction discrimination."

They never wanted equality, they preach superiority and hoist their pride flag over conquered entities.

There is a segment who will tell you that homosexuality is superior to “breeder” lifestyles since it doesn’t overpopulate the globe/kill the planet.

‘Kids have lead the charge in progressive protests’

And if that’s true, it’s only because those ‘kids’ have been indoctrinated by their hard Left teachers, from day one. Our education system is broken when the ‘kids’ no longer learn the TRUTH of our country’s history, but spend days learning about LGBTQXYZ issues.

“Gay” is a bogus term. There is NO gay gene. That’s science. There are only two biological sexes, male and female. That’s science. That’s natural law.

“Race” is a bogus term, unless you are talking about the human one.

Sure, he can be in the foxhole next to me.
One 45 caliber slug to his vacuum tube head and I can take all his ammo, grenades, and chow.
He might also make a good sand bag when enemy rounds start coming downrange.

Democrat is a pretext for obfuscating Marxism. Learn it, fight it.

That’s true, but was the old Soviet Union into the gay lifestyle?

I think rather it was exported to USA as a subversive tactic and we swallowed it whole.
