So what?

It's shameful that you're indifferent and not upset about the Texas GOP, who normally advocates for small government, being hypocritical and clearly exercising an overreach in their power by imposing Authoritarian legislation.

This ^ is an unfortunate however accurate assessment:

Privileging conservative Christian views in state legislatures

Many of the same individuals who claim their religious liberty is under threat are actively working to enshrine their own religious beliefs into state law. Some conservative Christian organizations are working on an erosion of the separation of church and state through state legislatures. For example, Project Blitz, a campaign that showcases a playbook of 20 model bills created by a conglomerate of Christian-right groups—WallBuilders, the Congressional Prayer Caucus Foundation, and the National Legal Foundation—lays out a policy agenda to attack an inclusive vision of religious liberty.85 The campaign’s stated purpose and mission includes protecting “traditional Judeo-Christian religious values and beliefs in the public square.”86 Bills that require public spaces to privilege a specific set of religious beliefs do not respect the increasing diversity of religions and beliefs in America. Those who have vocalized their reasonable opposition to Project Blitz’s bills have been cast as anti-religious or unpatriotic.87
Religious Liberty Should Do No Harm

Again lol Because of what the city council said. It wasn't one person. If you actually read even one article you'd know that. Again, it's about government over reach. But keep making things up, it's good for a laugh.

They are doing the opposite. Not that you care about the truth. They are advocating for small government. Not that you care about the truth. They want government out of deciding which business stays based on a misguided moral issue. Not that you care about the truth. They are undoing what big government over reach did. Not that you care about the truth.

You won't comment on this. You'll continue to make things up and deflect.

Yes it was (Mr. Robert Trevino), unless you can reference a quote or quotes that prove otherwise.

I'll wait...

The United States of America was founded on the principle of religious liberty.

Why should Americans be ashamed of that?
