WV conservative groups, pastors, and businessmen were made aware of a Beckley councilman’s request for the City to include “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” into the city’s Human Rights non-discrimination code last week. He did this at the request of a Beckley citizen who has a homosexual son.
Anti-homosexual groups, WVFF included, started making contact with council members, Beckley pastors and residents. The news spread fast through Raleigh County’s and Beckley’s Christian community.
Calls were made to council members to express their displeasure of the possible outcome if this request came before the Common Council. No doubt callers recalled the recent news from Houston, TX, where a lesbian mayor approved the issuance of subpoenas for sermons and emails of Houston Pastors. Five pastors had recently worked together to acquire and submit 50,000+ signatures, seeking to overturn their city’s new homosexual non-discrimination ordinance. The Beckley ordinance would have been almost identical if taken up and passed by Council members.
Praise God for the wisdom of these men and women, as prudent conservative council members, who saw through the attempt by homosexuals activists, Fairness WV, to get special rights passed in their city.
