Beto threatens tax-exempt status of churches if they don't support gay marriage


Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke says he'd strip churches of tax-exempt status if they don't support same-sex marriage.

When the former Texas congressman was asked if religious institutions -- "colleges, churches, charities" -- should be stripped of tax-exempt status Thursday night by CNN anchor Don Lemon during the LGBTQ town hall, he immediately responded, "Yes."

"There can be no reward, no benefit, no tax break for anyone or any institution, any organization in America, that denies the full human rights and the full civil rights of every single one of us," he said. "So as president, we're going to make that a priority, and we are going to stop those who are infringing upon the human rights of our fellow Americans."

Beta can threaten anything he wants. He is NOT going to be President, and it's unlikely he'll ever get elected to anything ever again, so his threats are like piss in a boot.

Yeah True about Beto ... but the statement speaks to a mind set I think ....
I'm sure if Sapidus was still around he would be going on about how those Fairy Tale Book Belivers should be FORCE to bend a knee to gays

‘Bigoted Nonsense’: Sen. Ben Sasse Condemns Beto’s Call To Strip Churches Of Tax Exempt Status For Opposing Same-Sex Marriage


“The candidate just spat in the face of the First Amendment. Whether you support gay marriage or not (I certainly do), this amounts to a pernicious form of government viewpoint discrimination,” wrote Polumbo. “O’Rourke wants to use the weight of the government to punish religious groups he disagrees with. It’s bizarre, immoral, and shameful.”

Some openly gay commentators, such as Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” and Chad Felix Greene, also blasted Beto’s call to have the government effectively regulate churches based upon their religious beliefs.

“There are many churches and temples in the United States which perform same-sex marriages. There are no mosques that do. Beto is obviously an Islamophobe. Someone call the Cancel Club!” said Dave Rubin.

“There are many churches and temples in the United States which perform same-sex marriages. There are no mosques that do. Beto is obviously an Islamophobe. Someone call the Cancel Club!” said Dave Rubin.

I am sure he would make an exception for mosques.

As Predicted, the Chickens of Gorsuch's Horrible Transgender Decision Come Home to Roost


In Hammons v. University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS), a biological female who identifies as a transgender man, Jesse Hammons, claims St. Joseph Medical Center, a hospital operated by UMMS, unlawfully discriminated against her by refusing to perform a hysterectomy to remove a healthy uterus. The lawsuit would force Catholic hospitals to violate the Hippocratic Oath by removing a fully-functional organ and permanently sterilizing patients.

Under the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services established by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Catholic hospitals may not perform procedures that induce sterility unless “their direct effect is the cure or alleviation of a present and serious pathology and a simpler treatment is not available.”

Rather than accepting that Catholic hospitals will not perform such procedures and seeking them elsewhere, transgender activists and the ACLU have mounted a lawsuit attempting to force Catholic hospitals to violate the Hippocratic Oath and agree to perform surgeries that they consider to be immoral.

In forcing this conclusion, the ACLU cited Bostock v. Clayton County (2020), the Supreme Court case in which Neil Gorsuch — a confessed originalist — led the Court’s four liberals in redefining “sex” to include transgender identity and sexual orientation. In doing so, Gorsuch claimed to be upholding originalism, but when Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, representatives clearly did not intend to prevent discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity — and the term “sex” does not include those identities.

Yet Gorsuch strained the bonds of logic to claim that when an employer “intentionally fires an individual employee based in part on sex.”

The ACLU lawsuit cited Bostock in claiming, “Discrimination based on the fact that a person is transgender or needs to undergo gender transition is discrimination that would not occur but for the person’s sex.”

In this case, however, transgender identity is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is gender dysphoria. The Catholic hospital would deny any woman seeking a hysterectomy who does not have a medical condition where her uterus is causing physical problems for her body. The pro-transgender doctors claim that the mental condition of gender dysphoria turns a perfectly healthy uterus into a dangerous medical condition, but the Catholic hospital disagrees.

You Will Be Made To Celebrate​

I'm not a fan of Shapiro, but he raises some valid points, provided you can get past his commercials.

The Supreme Court considers whether to force Americans to celebrate activity they consider sinful; the White House makes its push for Big Tech censorship; and moderate Republicans consider whether to give Democrats a deal on immigration.
