Its Getting Worst

The religious oppression is getting worst, they have been given a green light to attack us by Trump and the courts. The far right so called “Christians” are using their “religion” to shelter their bigotry.

A homeless shelter that turned away a transgender woman will be getting $100,000 in a settlement from the city. They say their religious freedom was violated when the city investigated them for turning away a transgender woman.

The Downtown Hope Center in Anchorage, Alaska, turned away a transgender woman last year, citing their religious beliefs. The center argues that it’s Christian, so it can turn away people who don’t live up to their religious principles.

Do you believe that? They were awarded money for discriminating!

The trans woman filed a complaint with the Anchorage Equal Right’s Commission. While the state does not ban discrimination against LGBTQ people, the city of Anchorage has a civil rights ordinance that bans sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination in public accommodations.

The commission opened an investigation, but the Downtown Hope Center didn’t wait for a decision before it filed a complaint in federal court. The center said that their religious freedom was violated because they should be allowed to turn away transgender people.

Their “religious freedom” to let trans women freeze to death.

But don’t paint all religions with a broad brush because not every Christian group agrees with the settlement.

Christians who are concerned about the homeless, though, were less happy that a homeless shelter won the right to refuse to provide shelter to transgender homeless people in Alaska.

“Personally, I believe if one is to consider themselves a Christian – a person of faith – they have to extend their charitable actions to everybody, regardless of gender,” Reverend Matthew Schultz with First Presbyterian Church told KTUU.
