(Worthy News) - Churches in Austin, Texas may soon be forced to hire homosexual and transgender employees, including pastors, if a city ordinance is implemented.

The city says it guarantees "the opportunity for each person to obtain employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age or disability."

The Houston-based US Pastor Council and the Texas Values organization is suing the city in federal court over the code. Both groups argue that the ordinance forces churches to go against their biblical beliefs and does not include a religious exemption for churches in Austin that refuse to hire homosexual or transgender people as employees, including pastors.

Sadly, Austin has been over run with liberals, dems. and socialists.  the homeless rate is real bad there too.  I did some work there years back and you cant even leave your motel door open for fresh air without someone rushing up in there and using you shower/restroom and refusing to leave.  Just a heads up if you ever end up in Austin staying in a motel. 

Austin is just another example how how liberal policy does not work.  Now they are attacking the church.

people can't afford to live in California any longer so they are going to Austin and screwing up things there just as they did in California.....     Only insane people do the same thing over and over and expect things change...

So, I just want to say that no one is forcing you to hire the LGBTQ individuals from various communities but the ordinance states that no institution is allowed to discriminate.  I don't see what all the fuss is about.

The fuss is that homosexuals intentionally  targeted a Christian bakery and demanded that they make a cake honoring homosexuality against the baker's religious convictions and wanted to force him, upon pain of prosecution (on the grounds of discrimination), to make a gay wedding cake that explicitly honors a homosexual wedding union.  That was an act of discrimination.  The hypocrisy about discrimination is so thick you could cut it with a knife. 

They will do to churches what they did to the baker.  They will seek out and target churches that have a stance against hiring homosexuals and who will resist hiring homosexuals and they will seek employment and when denied employment, they will claim they are being discriminated against.   They won't seek employment at liberal churches that embrace homosexuality.  They will target conservative churches that oppose that lifestyle and they will file lawsuits against pastors and churches that refuse to hire homosexuals.

A church also has rights and the homosexual community does not have the right to discriminate against a church's freedom of religion in order to force them to do that which violates what they believe.  Churches are not required to accept homosexuals on their staff or as members of their congregation.   Homosexuals are not minorities.   No one gets minority privileges simply on the basis of how they have sex.   And for homosexuals to try and hi-jack minority status is a slap in the face to real minorities who have suffered far more than homosexuals who enjoy far more acceptance than blacks did during the civil rights movement era of the United States.
