In their desperation to maintain a system which sanctions anti-LGBT discrimination, the homophobic religious right claims that official non-discrimination policies, which include sexual orientation, are a violation of religious liberty - in this case, the liberty to discriminate because, you see, God hates fags. As the mouthpiece for the homophobic religious right, Fox News provides validation. The allegedly "fair & balanced" Shannon Bream peddled a bunch of lies about the San Antonio Non-Discrimination Ordinance, not once, but three times. During one of the propaganda sessions, she was joined by a spokesperson from the SPLC designated homophobic hate group, The Family Research Council. Not to be outdone was Fox's resident homophobe and "shit-stirrer" Todd Starnes who tweeted a bunch of junk about this ordinance. But reason prevailed and the ordinance passed. In a tweet, Starnes wrote that he fears that this granting of special status to gays (lie) will cause reprisals against Christians. Poor Toddles.

Perhaps he could console himself with some sweet tea, biscuits, and an appropriate bible verse about evil sodomy and a vengeful god who seems to have abandoned his conservative Christian BFF's. I don't think that fundies like Toddles are into flagellation - but then again...
