ACLU Gets $15 Million LGBT Grant from Billionaire Foe of Christian Morals and Religious Freedom
Catholic News Agency ^ | 3/11/21 | Staff

CNA Staff, Mar 11, 2021 / 08:31 pm MT (CNA).- The American Civil Liberties Union has received a major donation from a billionaire heir whose LGBT activism includes both funding for efforts to limit religious freedom and funding for Christian groups - including Catholic dissenters - that want to change their churches’ teachings on marriage and sexual morality.

The donation of $15 million from Jon L. Stryker and Slobodan Randjelovic, his same-sex spouse, is the largest LGBT-focused grant in ACLU history. The organization will rename its LGBTQ & HIV Project for the two men, the ACLU announced March 4.

Stryker is an heir to the Stryker Corporation medical devices manufacturer. Forbes magazine has estimated his net worth of $4.4 billion. Before the latest grant to the ACLU, he reportedly has given $585 million to causes ranging from great apes conservation to LGBT advocacy, often through his philanthropic organization the Arcus Foundation.

This giving includes millions of dollars in grants specifically earmarked to promote limits on religious freedom. In 2016, for instance, Stryker’s Arcus Foundation gave the ACLU a $150,000 grant to implement “a national coordinated media and public-education campaign to beat back religious exemptions at federal and state levels,” the foundation website said.

Stryker’s giving to religious groups also backs groups which undermine Christian sexual morals. Arcus grants have gone to Catholics for Choice, which rejects Catholic teaching on abortion, and the Equally Blessed Coalition of groups like Dignity USA, Call to Action and New Ways Ministry, which engage in LGBT advocacy and reject Catholic teaching on sexual morality and the sacraments. Some of the groups back ordination of women and think same-sex unions should be recognized as sacramental.

And all along I thought religious liberty was a civil liberty. But not anymore with these pervert vermin and their blood-sucking lawyers.

Jon Stryker inherited his $4 Billion from his grandfather, the founder of Stryker Medical Equipment, when his father died in a plane crash.

He’s done nothing to earn this money.

This guy has enough money, he should write a new Bible that glorifies all manner of sex with honoring God. What could possibly be wrong with that?

I am constantly thinking of all of our soldiers who fought and died or were wounded in so many wars for liberty and a decent and moral society--and what they would think if they were alive today....

The word "betrayal" comes to mind...

I can sorta tell you what one soldier might have said...

“I wanted to roll against the Commie bastards and deal with the problem while we could do the job, but no! Truman and Ike would have nothing to do with it.” — potentially by George S. Patton

Of course he might have thrown in some spicy language needing censoring. Lots of it in fact.

It must be a miserable life to believe this world is as good as it gets... then comes much worse.. what kind of life is that?!@#&

I know much more awaits me and anyone who believes in the Son of God. This is but a training ground.. for sights untold and peace at last.

This is why we need to support the A.C.L.J.
They are protecting the civil liberties of many Christian Organizations and Individuals.
My prayers go out for the work they do..

My Dad and Mom were both WWII veterans and I am glad they are not having to witness this all. They taught my siblings and I to love and honor God, Family and Country!

Still is, until DemonicRats write a national manifesto replacement for the Constitution.
