Pete Buttigieg: Religious Freedom 'Ends' When Religious Groups Refuse to Hire LGBTQ Employees
CNS News ^ | February 25, 2020 | Craig Bannister

Posted on 02/25/2020 2:55:55 PM PST by kevcol

Openly-gay Democrat presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg says he supports religious liberty – but, “not past the point where it is being used” by religious organizations to refuse to hire or serve LGBTQ people.

“That freedom ends where you begin to invoke it to harm other people” who violate your organization’s religious doctrine by not hiring or serving them, Buttigieg told a CNN town hall on Monday.

Primarily, claims that God validates homosexuality and other sexual immorality despite the Word of God that says the direct contrary.

“I’ve seen very few hot lesbians in real life.”

They are out there. Have seen many. Usually in college towns or hip urban areas. Small towns or rural areas almost always fat and ugly.

Freedom of association, Petey. But as a totalitarian, I understand you demand complete conformance from your serfs.

We had all best wake up, realize we are under attack & engage the
battle or lose what’s left of our freedoms!
Christian, Jew,black, white atheist or none of the above...they are targeting us for destruction.
We are here obstacles to their plan.
Lock & load. Be vigilant.

She needs to schedule an appointment with this guy. He won't give two shits that she's a lesbian, but he come down on her like Thor's hammer for being a fatty.

“Mayor Buttplug, what sexual perversions do you consider to be utterly unacceptable on any level? Who makes this judgement, you or God? Do you speak for God?”

Maltese are mostly Catholics. He probably was a Catholic at first but became an Episcopalian because the Episcopal Church is more gay-friendly.

I'm sure when James Madison was crafting the language of what became the 1st Amendment, he considered qualifying "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" with the caveat "except to protect the rights of LGBTQ persons" but figured it was unnecessary as no American would ever think of discriminating against someone because of the way they flaunted their sexual practices.

Religious freedom ends when you force religious groups to comply with rules against their religion.

Mr. Buttigeg,

Do you reserve your religious bigotry solely for Christians or do you extend that bigotry to other religious beliefs - Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhist or other people of faith?

Also, how do you plan to “combat religious organizations?”

Careful there, Petey boy, some of those groups take "combat" literally.

I completely wrote off the Democrats when then head of the DNC Ron Brown said that people of religious faith should not participate in the political process.
Ron Brown was later executed just after the plane crash.
