Todd Starnes Reassures Haters: Don’t Worry, Trump’s Religious Order Gives Anti-LGBT Power To Jeff Sessions

Todd Starnes wants to reassure his fellow haters that the Trump administration still plans to destroy LGBT rights. He writes:

An Army of militant atheists and LGBT activists are hell-bent on eradicating Christianity from the public marketplace and punishing Christians who follow the teachings of Christ. That’s why President Trump signed an executive order on religious liberty today in the Rose Garden – to protect Americans who have been targeted by a politically correct lynch mob.

The order is for people like Barronelle Stutzman – a grandmother and the owner of a Washington state flower shop. Mrs. Stutzman, a sweet and gentle woman, faces the loss of her business, her home and life savings because she refused to participate in a gay wedding.

It’s for people like the Vander Boon family of Grand Rapids, Michigan – the owners of a meat packing company. USDA inspectors ordered the Vander Boons to remove religious materials from their company’s break room.

Now, I suspect that some Christians might be puzzled by the president’s executive order – because it does not specifically mention protections for people like the Vander Boons or Mrs. Stutzman. But fear not, friends.

That’s because President Trump has directed the Department of Justice to come up with guidelines that will protect people of faith and “ensure these religious protections are afforded to all Americans.” That means Attorney General Jeff Sessions will be writing guidelines for every federal agency to ensure that our rights are protected.

Starnes may not be wrong. In fact, multiple civil rights groups today worriedly pointed to the below section of today’s order.
