Under President Obama, “justice” is anything but blind. Neither is it deaf. In fact, based on recent revelations, it appears to be watching your every move and listening to your every word. Still, if you happen to be a federal employee, now it’s even listening for your silence.
The only thing this Obama White House seems to generate is scandal. Well, here’s yet another to add to the growing list. In addition to the Benghazi cover-up, IRS targeting of political dissenters and the illegal seizure of media phone records, whistleblowers within DOJ have contacted Liberty Counsel to express grave concerns over this administration’s latest attack on freedom.
Our sources have provided Liberty Counsel an internal DOJ document titled: “LGBT Inclusion at Work: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Managers.” It was emailed to DOJ managers in advance of the left’s so-called “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month.”
The document is chilling. It’s riddled with directives that grossly violate – prima facie –employees’ First Amendment liberties.
Following are excerpts from the “DOJ Pride” decree. When it comes to “LGBT” employees, managers are instructed:
That’s a threat.
And not even a subtle one.
Got it? For Christians and other morals-minded federal employees, it’s no longer enough to just shut up and “stay in the closet” – to live your life in silent recognition of biblical principles (which, by itself, is unlawful constraint). When it comes to mandatory celebration of homosexual and cross-dressing behaviors, “silence will be interpreted as disapproval.”
This lawless administration is now bullying federal employees – against their will – to affirm sexual behaviors that every major world religion, thousands of years of history and uncompromising human biology reject.
Somewhere, right now, George Orwell is smiling.
The directive includes a quote from a “gay” federal employee to rationalize justification: “Ideally, I’d love to hear and see support from supervisors, so it’s clear that there aren’t just policies on paper. Silence seems like disapproval. There’s still an atmosphere of LGBT issues not being appropriate for the workplace (particularly for transgender people), or that people who bring it up are trying to rock the boat.”
Of course there’s “still an atmosphere of LGBT issues not being appropriate for the workplace.” When well over half of federal employees, half the country and most of the world still acknowledge objective sexual morality (and immorality), “the workplace,” especially the federal workplace, should, at the very least, remain neutral on these highly controversial and behavior-centric issues.
Still, to borrow from self-styled “queer activist,” anti-Christian bigot and Obama buddy Dan Savage, “it gets better”:
Is this the DOJ or the KGB? “[A]ssume that LGBT employees are listening …”? And what are “LGBT allies”? If you disagree with the homosexual activist political agenda, does that make you the enemy?
Yes, in any workplace, language should remain professional, but who defines what’s “inclusive”? Who decides what’s “respectful”? If asked about “LGBT issues,” for instance, can a Christian employee answer honestly: “I believe the Bible. I believe that God designed sex to be shared between husband and wife within the bonds of marriage”? Or is that grounds for termination?
Here are some more DOs:
Are you kidding? Does this administration really think it’s legal to induce managers to “attend LGBT events,” or to “display pride stickers” against their will? That’s compulsory expression. That’s viewpoint discrimination.
That’s unconstitutional.
But there’s more:
Oh, brother.
Sorry. Oh, gender-neutral sibling.
In other words, lie. Engage in corporate delusion.
Who gets to decide what’s an “inappropriate joke [or] comment”? I thought we had a Constitution for that. It sure ain’t Big Brother Barack. Sure, I get it, it’s probably better not to start your work day with: “A lesbian, a tranny and two gays walk into a bath house …” but still, “no law … abridging the freedom of speech,” means no law. No matter how much Obama wishes it so, we don’t leave our constitutional rights at the federal workplace door.
The DOJ edict even addresses cross-dressing man woes:
“As a transgender woman [that’s a man in a skirt], I want people to understand that I’m real. I want to be recognized as the gender I really am [again, you’re a man in a skirt]. Yes, there was awkwardness with pronouns at first for folks who knew me before the transition. But it hurts when several years later people still use the wrong pronouns. And just imagine if people were constantly debating YOUR bathroom privileges. Imagine how humiliating that would be.”
Tell you what, buddy: I won’t “debate YOUR bathroom privileges” if you return to this planet. You’d better stay the heck out of the ladies room while my wife or two daughters are in there; otherwise, we have a problem. Women have an absolute right not be sexually harassed in the workplace – a right to privacy when using the facilities. To constantly worry whether a gender-confused, cross-dressing man is going to invade her privacy creates a hostile work environment.
This “DOJ Pride” directive is but the latest example of the “progressive” climate of fear and intimidation this radical Obama regime has created for Christians, conservatives and other values-oriented folks, both within and without the workplace.
I’m just glad the wheels are finally coming off.
Doesn’t mean we condone sin or praise it. Jesus said “go and sin no more.”
Judgment of a man's soul and eternal destination belong to God. But there are quite a few Scriptures in the NT telling Christians TO judge righteously.
Me, I don't hate the homosexual individual. Not at all. But their lifestyle and practices are filthy, perverted, unnatural, and disease-inducing. The DOJ won't have to wonder about my "disapproval."
Me: I don’t ask nothing.
Me: if it comes up I am disgusted and vomit on my mouth.
He must be one of those open heart, open mind Methodists.
Exactly and that works for all sin, they are all equal to the Lord.
Well...yeah...there is that too.
You gotta read this one to believe it, your gubment $$$ at work.
Message sent, message received! Loud and clear!
DON’T hire apparent faggots, sodomites, or carpet munchers. To be safe, DON’T hire any male who looks the tiniest bit effeminate. DON’T hire any female who looks, in the smallest way, “butch”. DON’T hire young people who are not married. DO discover an applicant’s sexual preference however you need to — by searching Facebook, hiring a private investigator, whatever. DO insist on getting a signed release from ALL employees allowing background checks, so you can carry out due diligence. Use that release to conduct highly intrusive checks into every aspect of an employee’s private life.
Finally, DON’T hire anyone at all unless you absolutely must. DO strive to replace employees, especially young ones, with machines. DO offshore as much work as you possibly can, especially to countries that don’t find new “employee rights” behind every bush and tree.
... Is this really the direction they want to take this country? Apparently so.
Young people, enjoy your faggot culture worship. You should have lots of free time to watch it develop on the teevee in your room in Mom and Dad’s basement.
>> I guess when Jesus dealt with that sexually immoral woman at the well he really blasted her, didn’t he?
You homosexual apologists love to quote this scripture.
However you never seem to include the part where Jesus told her, “Go and sin no more.”
Why is that?
Good thing I ain’t silent. This crap is an abomination.
>> DOJ on ‘Gays’: ‘Silence Will be Interpreted as Disapproval’
Homosexual “marriage” law is all about forcing the citizens to support and service homosexuals despite one’s objections to it.
Well, that's one way to handle the (lack of) food crisis!

Check out my next ping below, mom says her daughter was arrested for being ‘in love’.
I am amazed at what I read here I wouldnt normally know about.
You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
>> He must be one of those open heart, open mind Methodists.
The good news is, the Methodists are one of the last “mainline” denominations who still officially say that homosexuality is incompatible with God’s teaching — and refuse gay clergy and gay weddings.
For three more years, at least; the last affirmation was at general conference last year, and the question won’t roll around again for three more years at the next GC.
(The bad news is the gay mafia is relentless, and the governing body of the Methodist small-c church is human and corruptible...)
This “open heart” Methodist has an open mind where SCRIPTURE is concerned; if you can build a case from God’s word, I will listen. On the other hand, there is no amount of scriptural sophistry that can possibly contradict GOD’s clear instruction that homosex always was, still is, and always will be an ABOMINATION unto him.
My pastor knows full well that should the Methodists adopt that same silly doctrine of men as have the ELCA Lutherans, Presbyterians, Whiskypalians, etc., I will no longer be attending a Methodist church.
If that sad day should come I guess I’ll have to look at who is left... maybe I’ll go back to the Church of Christ, dogmatic as they can be. At least there is no possibility of corrupting the “governing body”, as there IS none.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to the woman about to be stoned, where Jesus intervened to save her.
You clearly said woman at the well. My bad.

I feel like this is a waster of time, but here it goes.
There comes a time in the moral collapse of a society that the immoral will no longer hear the gentle witness of the Christian. The immoral have become inflamed with raging hatred of anything associated with Christ and they are ready to burn Christians at the stake.
We are almost at that point here. The gate is ready to burst.
When that time comes, the best witness a Christian can have is to boldly and steadfastly hold to their testimony of Christ and the truth of God’s word. That includes condemning sin as such and warning homosexuals of the wrath to come. Will they listen? Probably not.
It that light, Yosemitest post is spot on is actually a greater expression of love that the misguided and weak-kneed approach you seem to be recommending.
Exactly!! A very apt example.
