The National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring seminars to encourage small businesses to favor homosexual employees. It also is teaming with the pro-gay Human Rights Campaign to publish a 32-page booklet on how small businesses can be more “inclusive.”
“But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.”
—Genesis 19:4-5
“They want them to provide benefits for same-sex partners, which could increase health-care costs significantly,” said Jeff Johnston, gender issues analyst for Focus on the Family. “They also want them to embrace the transgender community.â€
Matt Barber, policy director for cultural issues with Concerned Women for America, said small businesses are being targeted because they are known for conservative values.
“If they can get to them and strong-arm them and intimidate them into casting aside those values,” he said, “then that’s a huge gain for the homosexual lobby and a huge loss for anyone who holds traditional values.â€

RE: “…encourage small businesses to favor homosexual employees”
Here we go again with a different set of standards for the gays…it is not right for employers to favor any employee, but homosexuals feel that they deserve to be favored…and on what grounds…their lifestyle? There’s that selfishness of theirs showing again.
And, where is the aclu in all this?
Please hurry, LORD Jesus!

This reminds me of a guy that found a loophole in the American Disability Act and being in a wheel chair, he took upon himself visiting the small town villages and finding out which businesses (mainly quaint little store fronts) he could not navigate in his condition. He would then proceed to sue each store in town!
*Let me state that I am not against the ADA, just against someone taking advantage of it for profit.
If the small businesses allow this kind of arrangements to become a law, the ones that don’t comply will never see the end of the lawsuits.
