The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission has overstepped its legal authority and has issued “guidance” which expands their reach. The Commission will now investigate complaints based on “sexual orientation and gender identity or expression” as a form of sex discrimination—even though the law has NOT changed! So, they will now investigate Christian businesses, such as WW Bridal Boutique, when the owners have a deeply held religious belief that engaging in homosexual acts is sin and direct the homosexual couple wanting brides’ gowns, or a “wedding” cake or flowers for their “wedding” to their competitor down the street. Also, if a business owner responds to complaints by female customers about the man in their restroom, by asking the male to use the men’s room – that owner will have a complaint filed against him. Only one commissioner sided with sanity!!

AFA of PA Public Comment to PA Human Relations Commission
is the public comment the AFA of PA sent to the PA Human Relations Commission’s in response to their efforts to redefine ‘sex’ in the PA Human Relations Act and the PA Fair Educational Opportunities Act to mean “sex stereotyping.” This is an effort to do an end run around the legislative process
Action Alert – Danger Ahead If This Move is Successful
Apparently Governor Wolf has given up on the legislature passing a homosexual special rights bill, so the PA Human Relations Commission is seeking to change the definition of “sex” to include “sex stereotyping.” If its proposal is approved, they will use the new criteria to conduct their investigation and simply bypass the People’s elected legislators!
Action Alert – Governor Wolf Is Doing End Run Around Legislature!
Homosexual activists and their ally in the PA governor’s mansion are getting impatient with the legislature, which has correctly not extended special rights to homosexuals/transgenders by passing laws which would add ‘sexual orientation and gender identity or expression’ to the PA Human Relations Act. However, Governor Wolf through the PA Human Relations Commission seeks to make those changes simply by changing the definition of the word ‘sex’ within the laws the commission oversees!

For several years the American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), a statewide traditional values group, has been raising awareness to the efforts of Stephen Glassman, Chairman of the PA Human Relations (PHRC) to use his position as a bully pulpit to further his personal agenda – using the force of law to demand that all Pennsylvanians celebrate the homosexual lifestyle. The AFA of PA has been joined by other groups in signing a letter to Governor Corbett offering evidence of Glassman’s activism and asking that he be removed as chairman of the PHRC.
