Will Rex Tillerson Fire All LGBT Employees at State Department? | Advocate.com

If Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council has his way we will be. He has called on the State Department under Trump to root out and fire all LGBT individuals and people with pro-LGBT stances.

How is this American? Conservatives say their fight is all about religious freedom, but this proves that isn't their goal. "Religious freedom" is not a factor in terms of whether or not a person can work for the federal government, which is supposed to be secular. Their goal is to bully every LGBT individual back into the closet or destroy them. For what reason? So they can feel good about themselves.

When will the fearmongering stop ? With no foundation on ideas and predictions of what is to come.

That's odd, are all the gays in government on fire or something? Or did they fill in a special "just letting you know I'm homosexual" form under Obama?

Tony Perkins is probably gay and this is one of the ways he deals with living with it.

where does this nonsense come from?
even more nonsensical is the conclusion.


This is fear mongering on steroids and add to that theoretical predictive least probale conclusions and you have the dems campaign of fear mongering alive and well post election.
