Jeff Sessions' 'Religious Liberty Task Force' Declares Holy War on LGBT People
The Attorney General's new 'Religious Liberty Task Force' will ensure that the Trump administration's program of discrimination against LGBT people and others continues unchecked.

Sadly it is no exaggeration, no hyperbole, to say that Attorney General Jeff Sessions declared a holy war on LGBT people, LGBT equality, and LGBT rights on Monday.
He declared war pretty much on anything that could be perceived to trespass on the religious freedom or religious liberty of Christians which is a loosely defined enough to be construed as trespassing on pretty much anything.
Sessions said this was because there was a dangerous movement to erode the Christian right to worship.

Just as the GOP Tax Scam was payment to the GOP's "donors" for their financial support, this "Religious Liberty Task Force" is payment to the Christian Fundigelicals that have supported tRump*s campaign and candidacy.

(6,831 posts)I don't see any blockades of christianist churches anywhere so what is he talking about here ? It seems to me that they are out and about shoving their ideology in everyone's faces, whether they ask for it or not.
A few years ago, I was in a restroom at a VA clinic in the South. I was there for a few months to help with a family health crisis, so I was being seen while there. I was speaking with someone and mentioned that I was new in that area. We chatted for a moment and then the person left. Two minutes later, they came back in with a card to give to me. "I thought you might want a place to worship while you're here," and the next thing I knew a card for an evangelical church was thrust in my hand. I was not pleased and said, "Now, you've crossed the line." and put the card in the trash.
You're not even safe from these proselytizers in Loo FFS.
