Christian fascists at work in Texas:

2 lawsuits from anti-LGBT groups in 2 days, attempting to fully gut the LGBT protections in municipal nondiscrimination ordinances.
I’m sure it’s a coincidence. #txlege https://t.co/5PlWXqvmnP

The Texas Values lawsuit, filed in state district court in Austin, argues that faith-based opposition to homosexuality should allow people and businesses to:

• Refuse to hire or retain “practicing homosexuals or transgendered people” as employees.

• Decline to rent property to tenants “who are engaged in non-marital sex of any sort, including homosexual behavior.”

• Refuse to participate in or lend support to same-sex marriages.

• Refrain from providing benefits to the same-sex partners or spouses of employees.

• Declare that transgender people must use pubic restrooms that correspond to their “biological sex.”
