Perkins Furious That Blinken Axed Pompeos Anti-LGBT Policy: He Doesnt Care About Biblical And Moral LawVia email from hate group leader Tony Perkins:
There is no hierarchy that makes some rights more important than others, Blinken argued. Past unbalanced statements that suggest such a hierarchy, including those offered by a recently disbanded State Department advisory committee, do not represent a guiding document for this administration. At my confirmation hearing, I promised the Biden-Harris administration would repudiate those unbalanced views. We do so decisively today.
Unbalanced? Is that what Joe Bidens administration thinks about hundreds of years of biblical, moral, and legal consensus? Former Secretary Mike Pompeo could only imagine. It was sad to hear, he said on Washington Watch, that the work of the commission that I had put together [with people] from every major religion, people from across the political spectrum [had been abolished].

You are free to practice your religion in the way you see fit, you are not free to impose your fricking moronic beliefs on the on the rest of us.

Keep your religion out of my government...or get ready for my government to get into your religion (through tax policy).

clear about a separation between church and state.
BTW if something makes Tony Perkins angry then I am for it.
