Mayor Pete Wants to Crackdown on Religious Groups That Refuse to Hire LGBTQ Staff
|
[Townhall] If Mayor Pete Buttigieg had his way your local Christian school would be forced to make a choice: hire transgender teachers, gender-fluid principals and pansexual coaches or lose federal funding.
During a CNN town hall meeting the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, stated emphatically that any religious institution or charity that refuses to hire or serve LGBTQ individuals should be stripped of federal tax dollars.
"Mayor, just to be clear, do you believe that other religious and non-profit institutions, like colleges and homeless charities, should lose their federal funding if they refuse to hire or serve LGBTQ people," CNN host Don Lemon asked.
"Yes, if they are discriminating, then they should not be doing it with federal dollars," the openly gay presidential candidate replied.
Lemon should have asked a series of very important follow-up questions:
Does that mean that women's shelters run by Christian charities would be forced to admit men who identify as women? Does that mean the Catholic Church would be required to serve the LGBTQ community by performing same-sex weddings? Does that mean Baptist schools would be under a government mandate to hire staff with beliefs contrary to their doctrine? Would Christian daycare centers be forced to open their doors to Drag Queen Story Time?
