A Texas-based “values” group is blasting a number of major American companies for having the nerve to demand equal rights for LGBT people.
Texas Values called Apple, Disney, Intel and the NCAA “corporate bullies” for pressuring Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal (R) into vetoing a bill that would have allowed discrimination against LGBT people.
A number of companies spoke out against the bill; Disney also threatened a boycott, saying it would stop filming in the state if the bill became law.
In response, Texas Values claimed the companies had “declared war“ on religion:
"It’s striking that the day after Easter, churches in Georgia are told their freedoms are not that important to protect. It’s clear that corporate giants like Apple, Disney, NCAA, Intel have finally come out of the closet and declared public war on the religious freedom of clergy and religious schools, as was the protection in Georgia’s very modest HB 757 that they worked to bring down."
So I guess, according to these folks, that if you embrace Jesus's teachings that you should love your fellow man, that means you are attacking Christianity.
I swear, I will never understand religion.
