NOTE:  January 12th is the next City Council meeting.

Jacksonville is the next city in the cross-hairs of the national LGBT attack machine

Citizens of Jacksonville, your urgent attention is needed. The attached petition is in support of former city council president
Bill Gulliford's bill now before our city council. His bill will allow the people of Jacksonville to decide whether SEXUAL ORIENTATION
GENDER IDENTITY & EXPRESSION should be added as new protected classes. The city council is under enormous pressure
from the national LGBT special interest groups and the donor class upon who they rely upon for campaign funding. Let's join with
Councilman Gulliford and remove the pressure from our elected officials and decide for ourselves what is in our own best interest.
Now is the time to stand as one and tell the country that we the people of Jacksonville do not discriminate, that our LGBT community
is already respected and we do not need to be told how to behave by elitists and lobbyists looking to make a fast dollar at our expense.
Let's say yes! to self determination and support Bill Gulliford.

In Summary and from the site:

The Harmful Law.  If a LGBT law is enacted, here is what will happen – and why we must defeat it.

         The term “Human Rights Ordinance” is a hoax.  This is a preferential treatment law.It grants superior rights to LGBTs, while taking away rights from others.

         The morality and the social fabric of the Community will decline.

         Men alleging a female gender will be free to enter women and children’s, dressing, locker, shower and restrooms in public facilities – an unstoppable crime opportunity which will be exploited by sexual predators. “Women Only” facilities will cease to exist.  In some schools boys will be allowed to enter girls’ dressing and shower areas, to expose themselves and to view girls in all stages of undress.

         All “Gender expression” is protected, so will be on display in public places and some schools, undermining the moral and religious training and values of children.

         The law governs facilities in all nurseries and preschools, and in any school or college including private religious schools if they utilize the least public asset.

         Businesses will NOT be told what “gender expressions” they must tolerated to avoid prosecution – that is determined by the daily whim of the official “victim”.  So, owners will be sitting ducks for bankrupting lawsuits.

         The law will curb Free Speech and Religious Speech against LGBT lifestyles.  It will compel government to punish those opposed to LGBT lifestyles.

         Businesses will be forced to provide services that ultimately support and promote LGBT lifestyles which ownersmay oppose on religious grounds.

         Owners will suffer more lawsuits and government intrusion.  One “rights” complaint could easily exceed $20,000 in legal fees and costs, and produce financial ruin.

         LGBT’s will receive preferences in hiring, layoffs and in housing disputes.

         There is no objective, documented proof of discrimination.  City and judiciary costs will increase needlessly,wasting hard-earned taxpayer dollars.

An interesting quote:

We are all equal today, under the current laws.. Do we need more?

“Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”
