Type
“ENDA” into Google’s news feed and you will find
that most news about the Employment Non-Discrimination Act
is being generated by homosexual and transgender activists who want
the bill passed. Rep.
Barney Frank says an ENDA vote is being pushed back until late
June or early July and Washington news source The
Hill
says ENDA has “dimmer chances” of passage than a
repeal of Don’t-Ask-Don’t-Tell. But its supporters are
hardly muting their vehement demands. The Christian right is comparatively
quiet, primarily requesting tame petitions and mail-ins while the
left aggressively phones in and shows up. For example, a pro-ENDA
protest was held outside the Federal Building in San Francisco May
18. In Chicago, thirteen gay activists were arrested after refusing
to leave Sen. Dick Durbin’s office, where they were demanding
passage of ENDA.

One
of the arrested homosexuals said, “I am here because we can
no longer sit around and wait for our rights to be handed to us
by politicians, we must demand our rights from them. We have to
be here to fight for those who are forced to remain invisible and
deny who they are just to make a living.”
She
is saying homosexuals have a right to be hired by private
employers and businesses—which is no American’s right!
She is also saying homosexuals have a right to be and remain hired
while forcing their sexual preferences or gender transition into
full view of customers or fellow employees.
States
with at-will employment laws would be required by ENDA to rewrite
their statutes. Employers of fifteen people or more would no longer
have the right to hire and fire at will—distributing their
hard-earned capitol to job seekers as they see fit—but to
justify their choices based on political correctness of the most
obscene flavor.
Increasingly,
employers are losing their rights to uphold traditional values or
even simple, non-offensive gender representations in the businesses
they own. New York attorney general Andrew Cuomo has forced clothing
retailer American Eagle Outfitters to change its uniform policy,
which required men to wear male uniforms and women to wear the female
version. The retailer is now required to let its 2,000 New York
employees choose the gender of uniform they prefer.
AEO
came to a settlement to avoid a drawn-out legal battle. NY
Daily News
says “this is the first crackdown against a retailer under
the section of the state’s Human Rights Law that bars employers
from discriminating against applicants because of their gender identity.”
If applicants had male birth certificates and wanted to wear male
uniforms, there would be no problem. Intersexual individuals and
transsexuals who have fully transitioned would not be affected.
This is a problem for applicants hired as one gender who want to
wear the clothing of the opposite gender. This is a problem, in
other words, for gender activists.
A
transgendered “woman” in California is suing the
retail giant Macy’s on grounds of wrongful termination and
gender-related grievances, including being ejected from the women’s
restroom. She was fired for alleged insubordination and foul language
but claims she was repeatedly harassed and discriminated against
because of her gender. In Pennsylvania, a transgendered “woman”
is winning a discrimination lawsuit against her former employer,
brought before the Pennsylvania Human Rights Commission. She was
hired as “James” but was transitioning to “Kate
Lynn.” Her employers required her to use a unisex bathroom
until she could provide medical documentation of her “anatomically
appropriate” gender.
Such
lawsuits will multiply as gender activists attack employers they
perceive as hostile toward their transgender status or current transition.
Such activists are seeking to make a political statement not to
quietly make peace with their own situation. If homosexuals or transsexuals
wanted to do so, most could easily live within traditional environments,
exercising their own sexual freedom at home while not offending
their employers, coworkers, or customers. This has been proven by
intersexual individuals who have been forced by biology to transition
and who find ways to live in society without making others needlessly
uncomfortable.
For
some Americans, transitioning from their assigned gender has nothing
to do with activism. It is not about politics, mental illness, or
rage against the system; it is biological. In one to two percent
of live births, babies are born with disorders of sexual development
(also called intersex conditions) that create ambiguous genitalia
or other birth defects. Such babies may be incorrectly assigned
a gender as medical professionals struggle to label extra chromosomes,
ambiguous genitals, or ovotestes. Such babies may grow into adults
who realize their brains, spirits and hormonal makeup do not align
with the gender in which they were raised. They deserve compassion,
empathy and assistance in finding medical and psychiatric treatment
for this very genuine and difficult affliction.
“Gender
queer” activism, though it includes some intersexuals, is
different. It advocates for unlimited gender transitioning—whether
biologically based or not—that requires no more justification
than an individual’s desire. Such activism also presses for
acceptance of a “gender spectrum” with many more options
than “male” or “female.” By assaulting the
gender binary, this activism threatens the very structure of society,
the family, and marriage. Incredibly, it may soon become enshrined
in federal law. If ENDA passes, the 38 states which do not currently
forbid gender identity discrimination by employers will be forced
to uphold this ban.
If
this assault on the gender binary continues, the shattering outcomes
on American society are limitless. Schools will be forced to allow
boys on girls’ teams and vice versa and may even implement
“third gender” sports. Science classes will teach a
gender spectrum along with homosexuality, presenting “male”
and “female” as an outdated myth. Children will be raised
to believe that they may be “male, female, both or neither.”(Take
a look at www.GenderSpectrum.org)
This blurring of gender roles is a perfect way to promote homosexual
experimentation among children and teenagers.

- presenting "an overview of how society currently
defines gender and how these restrictive definitions can be
detrimental to those who do not fit neatly into these categories.
We then help you identify and remove the obstacles so all
are free to be our authentic selves." |
If
employers are no longer able to define gender through uniform or
restroom use, how can teachers or even parents or pastors
be permitted to uphold traditional gender definitions?
ENDA—along
with other “homosexual rights” activist legislation—is
a militant assault on the very fabric of American society and values.

Note
For
those new to this controversy, please check the latest articles
in our Rev
Ted Pike and Harmony Grant archive to see where protests should
be directed to be the most effective. Sometimes the "action"
is in the House, and other times it is in the Senate or in the Executive
Office. Sometimes it involves arresting a bill before it gets through
a committee, or it at other times it may have already slipped through
and now faces either a floor vote or the possibility of getting
snuck through as a rider to another bill. Also, please link to the

News Rips "Pedophile-Protecting" Hate Bill:
...[Fox
News anchor Megyn] Kelly interviewed Rep. Steve King, who attempted
to amend the hate bill in Judiciary last week to explicitly exclude
pedophiles. King reported how Rep. Alcee Hastings, a pro-hate
bill Democrat, proudly claimed practitioners of 547 paraphilias
listed by the American Psychiatric Association can "live
without fear" once the hate bill is passed.
Ms.
Kelly also expressed indignation that, while the Democrats acted
to protect pedophiles, they rejected Republican efforts to obtain
similar special protection for war veterans. Especially in times
of unpopular wars, these are common victims of "hate crimes,"
spit upon or attacked because of who they are -- military defenders
of America's freedom...
Alert
to Congress Regarding Hate Bills and the False Flag Attack Threat
by America First Books publisher William B. Fox. Two-thirds
down the web page please find the essay "The
Hate Crime Law Concept: It is all very sinister for at least nine
major reasons."
Also,
earlier on this same page I comment:
Although
Rev Ted Pike is completely independent from Captain May and myself
in terms of his political and religious views, the threats we
address all stem from the same corrupt power elite. I mention
in my concluding remarks below that this elite “would mobilize
us into domestic tyranny and foreign wars, while distracting us
from economic depression and the groups that brought it about.”
This
is the real problem, not the lack of more “hate crime”
laws. If anything, we need even more freedom of speech to speak
truth to power, sort out our problems, and develop peaceful strategies
to handle high level malefactors. This is why we urgently need
for members of Congress to not only take a principled stand and
stop all hate crime legislative initiatives, but to also roll
back all the existing hate crime laws currently on the books.
Hate
crime laws actually pose a major national security threat. They
condition Americans to feel that certain types of thought are inherently
immoral or illegal, even if they do not result in any form of violence
or infringement on the rights of others.
In
our articles related to false flag attacks, Capt.
Eric H. May and I have discussed strong evidence that Mossad-CIA
was behind 9-11, the mere "thought" of which would some
day be outlawed once hate crime oversight bureaucracies become firmly
implanted in America. We can expect government hate crime overwatch
entities to experience the usual cancerous growth and abuse of power
that libertarian writer and Presidential candidate Harry Browne
described in his classic book Why
Government Doesn't Work.
