WASHINGTON DC, September 10 (C-Fam) A second source has come forward to confirm earlier Friday Fax reporting that the Obama administration intends to force Catholic and other Christian groups to accept LGBT applicants in hiring.
The source, who insists upon anonymity, described a meeting held for department and agency heads at the Old Executive Office Building next to the White House where they were informed of the change in policy.
An official from the Obama administration told the group that they would be required to add “sexual orientation and gender identity” to hiring guidelines for grant recipients, just the same as the Administration mandated for Federal contractors a year ago.
The source reported to the Friday Fax that any organization receiving the grant could not discriminate based on ‘sexual orientation and gender identity” in the hiring of an employee that worked on the program funded by the grant or in seeking subcontractors. Additionally, they could not discriminate based on ‘sexual orientation and gender identity’ when implementing the respective program.”
When the Friday Fax first reported this change last May the administration, through the National Security Council, denied the change in policy. Various faith-based groups who are Federal grant recipients also received denials from their administration contacts.
Our source says the administration is lying when they deny such a change is in the works.
The first source who came to the Friday Fax in May said agencies were being asked to accept this new policy without an Executive Order and that the State Department legal office has advised the White House this would not be a legal matter but a matter of simply changing policy.
Federal contracting affects relatively few faith-based groups. It is under Federal grants that Catholic and Evangelical groups receive Federal money. There are many more, some say 50-1, grant recipients than Federal contractors. It is under Federal grants that faith-based groups assist poor people in the United States and around the world.
The Friday Fax reported in May that some Federal agencies are hesitant to make the change but because of pressure from the White House are reluctant to say so.
Such a change could be profoundly harmful to such groups that will now be dragged into the public fight over “sexual orientation and gender identity” where one government official has been jailed, and small business owners have been fined and harassed out of business for resisting the new sexual orthodoxy.
The second source who came to the Friday Fax last month says Friday Fax reporting and subsequent storm of criticism last May caused the administration to slow the process down but that the intention remains to force faith-based groups to accept applications and therefore employment of those who publicly oppose Christian teaching on human sexuality and marriage.
It is likely that some groups, perhaps many, will have to pull back from Federal funding and close certain programs that now help the poor in Africa and elsewhere.
Many international religious charities which receive Fed. grants for specific programs, esp. malaria control, epidemic control, disaster relief, etc. hire outreach workers in the recipient country, e.g. in African.
This means the Obama admin. will be trying, not just to coerce the church charities themselves, but to use the church charities as social change agents in promoting gay/transsexual hiring in countries which discourage gay sex practices and homosexual activism by law. Including countries struggling with AIDS epidemics.
Most church charities will, I think, reject the LGBT agenda, which means they will have to cut back or eliminate programs helping very poor people.
This could eventually have positive results, in that church charities will have to stop their long-established cooperation with U.S. govt. aid programs (which they really need to do anyway.)
This is probably mainly newsworthy because it is exactly what Obama promised he would not do: barring disaster relief and anti-disease programs if the agencies won't go gay.
So he's lying.
Let's make sure our churches/charities become more acutely aware of that,and break their ties accordingly.
Did Black America misunderstand the young president when he said he would do more to advance his people (gay and Islamist)?
I would suggest that any religious organization that relies on Federal money for survival isn't truly a religious organization in the first place.
All marxists lie. Their entire system is based on lies.
slap a sanction on me ?
Freeze my bank account ?
Aren't we at a point where we don't give a shit anymore ?
Never mind ... I am !
All the good reason for any church or charities to stop any relations with the Federal Government.
Obola the Undocumented Terroristophilic Moslem

(now the Army of Hasan).
obama and his cracked State Department are already pressuring countries overseas to accept the “gay” agenda—including “gay” parades in Orthodox Christian nations!!!!
Africa and Latin America are also included!!!!
Its rather stupid of the regime to mix and match “gender identity” with race: in this manner
I predict this will inspire something of a BACKLASH against the demoquack party!
today I am a black unicorn......
“This is probably mainly newsworthy because it is exactly what Obama promised he would not do: barring disaster relief and anti-disease programs if the agencies won’t go gay.
“So he’s lying.”
Well.... Obama.
So of course.
I’m just wondering when the day is coming that Barky officially announces that he is the first queer President.
If I claim to be LGBT does that put me ahead of the line for employment?
How do they know? Will they demand proof? What proof?
Maybe I can be the token LGBT, open a business supplying “LGBTS”.
That might actually be a brilliant move on your part!
Always like to point out that the B and T in LGBT are ridiculous, and I don’t even know about the Q Because I think the White House uses LGBTQ.
You really have to hire skanky bi-sexuals who swing both ways? Why?
Obama hates the 3 Cs:
(true, biblical) Christianity
(the original intent of the) Constitution
(free market—not crony) Capitalism
You’re right. Christian companies should refrain from accepting government money and thus avoid the federal boot or bribe.
But it’s easier said than done. Government largess is pervasive nowadays, either in direct cash or tax bennies. Churches readily accept tax exemption status, and that is just the same as taking cash. Soon enough, the religious tax exemption will be under attack from the gay radicals.
Q is ‘questioning’
They next president’s first official act should be to revoke every single executive order signed by Obama.
“Stroke of a pen law of the land. Cool.”
Especially if they include Q.
I self declare as Trisexual; always trying.
Yep, need a few folks to tell BO where he can stick his fascist bribes.
when the right takes the white house, the president should decree all organizations accepting federal money must not support any LGBT policies or organizations.
if they don’t like it... then they shouldn’t have pushed the opposite when they held power.
