Alonzo, here's a link to the rest of the Commission. Feel free to google them and see if they are all gay. I'm sure you will find one or two straight ones in the bunch, lol. Check the mayor out too since he is the one that appoints them. Let me know what you find.

Thanks for your response Bluesky. In light of the fact the Bible says there is all kinds of sin (not just homsexuality) and we are all guilty of sin, should we be legalizing other forms of sin in this country? Other forms of Biblical sin have been legal for years and I don't remember anyone picketing or complaining about them in my lifetime. Some examples I can think of are the sale of alcohol. Some people would go so far as to include cigarettes and caffeine in that. Should we picket the ABC store and all the stores and restaurants that serve alcohol. Should we wave signs around condemning these people in a cruel manner for their choice to drink?


I know there are other forms of legalized sin in this country. Feel free to help me out on this. What about the Biblical sins that there is no law for or against. The gray area that everyone takes for granted? Should we protest and say a law should be enacted to prevent these sins? What about fornication? If we passed a law making fornication illegal....I don't want to even think about the implications of that one.

The bottom line is your sin is your sin and my sin is my sin. I will not stand accountable for your sin and you will not be accountable for mine. You have done your part as a Christian, you have shared the good news of salvation. The Great Commission is your biggest work and I feel sure you have done that. There is no reason for you or any Christian to be the appointed judge of what is sin and who is committing it. That work belongs to God and the individual. Take a break and breathe, resting assured you have done your part. Thank you for your time.

Yup.

CHARLOTTE, NC � LeTonia Jones was so excited to be at the Democratic National Convention. She is a delegate from Fayette County and a member of the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender (LGBT) Caucus. This year the Convention was host to more than 500 LGBT delegates, more than any other Democratic National Convention ever. The Tuesday LGBT Caucus was full with standing room only.

�'I am super excited. This is my first convention ever and then to be coming here at a time when [same sex marriage] is now on the table is something that I never would have imagined. It really does make me happy, it makes me hopeful."

Jones and her partner were married in June. They wed in New York City where same sex marriage is legally recognized in the state. But in Kentucky their marriage is not acknowledged legally because of a Constitutional ban.

Alonzo Harris, don't be so alarmed. If you read the article carefully, it says the hearing examiner (independent) made these recommendations to the Lexington-Fayette Urban Human Rights Commission. The Commission has NOT taken action on this yet.


Here's a link to learn more about the Commission. They have been in existence since 1967 and were not appointed just to further gay rights. It seems there were other rights violations going on in the 60's (and still are). They were NOT newly created to further the GAY AGENDA.


The Commissioners are appointed by the mayor from what I can see (who is a duly elected official). Here's what I found when I googled who appoints these commissioners. "

"In 2013, Mayor Jim Gray appointed LeTonia to the Lexington Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission where she chairs the Community Relations and Housing Committee."

Hi Betty, I am back to try it answer your question. Yes, we are all sinners and don't deserve what GOD has promised if we accept that his son came to earth and shed his precious blood for us on a old cross which he had never done anything wrong(never had sinned) you see prior to Christ the priest sacrificed animals for the peoples sins for a sin offering. And believe he rose from the grave we can be saved and become one of his children. We are suppose to keep the word given to us in the Bible as the 10 commandments. Things we dont keep are looked on as sin to him, for example killing. Yes, we all are going to sin, but just because we want to do something, doesn't mean it is right by GODS word. I believe we will be judged by him for things we have done(sins) we have committed after we have been saved, for if we were truly saved, we do know what is sin and what is not. If you have any question of what is sin, the Bible is our roadmap for how we are to live a life pleasing to GOD. In closing, in Leviticus chapter 18 verses 6-27, several abominations or wicked things are listed including h*mosexual relations. Take a look at these, it is simply sin and no matter what man thinks, GOD says it is is his statute and judgement because he can: to quote the word, I am The Lord. It is not that I hate gays, we are suppose to love and pray for one another, but we are suppose to hate sin and to try hard not to keep sinning. I pray our leaders and people turn toward GOD. Thanks for your time.

The link I posted, from an ultra liberal website, says that they are forcing the company to print the shirts, and requiring the "diversity training".

Another interesting aspect...no judge or jury; just a "hearing examiner", and an unelected "human rights commission". Enforcing the "Fairness Ordinance"...

Alarm bells are going off; now we've created a special parallel justice system, just for gays. I've been involved with unelected commissions, for "environmental" purposes in my lifetime; I'd like to know how/who gets appointed to these spots.

But like I said, this is just the beginning.

And the typical jokey cartoon diversions from the advocates, to avoid addressing the actual topic.

now wilbar, did the government force them into the training, or did the CEO of the textile plant make it a requirement to keep their job?

From the "we're not forcing our lifestyle on anyone" files...and this is just the beginning.

Christians Forced Into 'Diversity Training' for Refusing to Print Gay Pride T-Shirts

Hands on Originals has been found guilty of discrimination for refusing to print gay pride shirts and is being forced to undergo diversity training. A Christian T-shirt printing company in Kentucky has been found guilty of discrimination for refusing to print gay pride shirts and is being forced to undergo diversity training.

The Gay and Lesbian Services Organization filed a complaint in 2012 against Hands On Originals T-shirt printing company, saying their refusal to print the T-shirts violated the city's fairness ordinance, which prohibits public businesses from refusing service based on sexual orientation.

Think about it people everyone on GODS green earth had to have a MALE & FEMALE or they would not be here today , that should tell all the gay people it's not right (2) men or (2) women can not reproduce with out the opposite sex

technically men out number women 50.1:49.9 so,either god wanted wondering females, or he was ok with a little h*mosex going on.
