Well, this cannot be good for unity…
From Western Journalism:
Several House members reportedly left the GOP weekly meeting on Thursday after a Georgia congressman read a Bible passage that characterizes homosexual conduct as sinful.
Rep. Rick Allen, charged with opening the meeting with prayer, used the opportunity to address more than 40 of his Republican colleagues who backed a Democratic LGBT measure the night before.
Last spring, in one of his multiple executive orders regarding LGBT rights, President Obama barred federal contractors from “discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.”
Rep. Sean Maloney, D-N.Y., offered an amendment codifying Obama’s executive order and stripping a religious liberty exception that Republicans included in the overriding bill. The amendment failed by one vote last week, with just 29 GOP members supporting it. However, it passed on Wednesday night, with 43 Republicans joining the Democrats.
…
“A lot of members were clearly uncomfortable and upset,” a congressional aide told The Hill.
…
“It was f—ing ridiculous,” said another GOP lawmaker who supported the LGBT provision.
So, everyone got mad because one of their own was telling the truth?
How do these people have the gall to call themselves Republicans?
This is a liberal move.
