More Info on Governor Wolf’s Commission on LGTBQ Affairs

Details

Following is additional information on the members of Governor Wolf’s recently named LGBTQ Commission:

As you can see from the following list, there are representatives from across the Commonwealth and they will use this new power to push for the passage of “LGBTQ” special rights ordinances both statewide and in their local area.  Remember the addition of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity or expression” to any local ordinance or state law will open the bathroom doors to whomever and be used to target Christian business owners who believe in natural marriage and any business owner who believes men should use the men’s facilities and women should use the women’s facilities!!
