Bans state agencies from doing business with companies that "support discrimination"
ALBANY, N.Y. (ChurchMilitant.com) - Governor Andrew Cuomo is going after businesses that object to homosexuality. In an announcement to the giant homosexual interest group the Human Rights Campaign at their annual gala in New York City, Cuomo said he would sign an executive order banning New York state agencies from doing business with companies which refuse services based on conscientious objection to homosexuality and so-called same-sex marriage.
Cuomo also said to the group of LGBT activists that "I can tell you that any school that refuses to protect transgender students will not receive a penny of state money and then they are out of business," speaking of the policy of the Trump administration rescinding the Obama transgender-bathroom mandate.
Archdiocese of New York official Ed Mechmann said about the move by Cuomo:
The Supreme Court saw clearly that our Constitution recognizes the fundamental human right to think and believe freely and that government cannot penalize persons or organizations solely because of their religious beliefs. The Court rejected the fundamentally totalitarian idea that all private entities must be forced into harmony with the government's ideology. The Supreme Court sees what Big Brother in Albany does not. The future of freedom in our state is not looking good.

But they won’t have those laws once he brings in enough Muslims. Just like Michigan.
The Cuomos all look like they like it up the chute.
This is clearly religious discrimination.
Acceptance of the homosexual agenda is the mark of the beast.
Dont take it.
Hetero, pro-life, in-this-world-but-not-of-it bump
Hey! California!
NY is doubling down.
You better one-up this one or you are losers.
Stealing Jerry Brown’s thunder in undermining the First Amendment.
Smooth move, cuomo.
Just another nail in the coffin for NYS as you continue to drive businesses out of NY.
Time to cut lgbt businesses then
That’s “nuthin”.
I work for A NY State Agency.
We are required to give preference in ordering goods and services to minority and women owned businesses.There is a specific percentage of ordering that MUST be through these vendors. It is even printed on our purchase orders. When filling one out we had better check “yes” in the Minority/woman owned business box or we have to write out WHY we are ordering from a “Non minority owned” business.
In other words: Don’t buy from the white guy.
(Even if “the white guy” charges 20% less, we can’t use him)
I guess soon it won’t just be “don’t buy from the white guy” it will be “don’t buy from the straight guy”.
I wonder why my taxes are so high?
Cuomo`s mother is his father.
There was this guy, in 1930’s germany, who recruited homosexuals and social deviants as thugs to intimidate and coerce the populace into doing things his way.
I didn’t end well, for the guy, nor for his band of homosexual thugs.
If Andrew is gay, he is evidently a self hating homosexual.
I think hes half monkey. Damn sure looks like it.
Is Cuomo a Catholic? If so, he should be excommunicated.
They’re a threat to his power.
