National LGBT Hate Machine Targets Small Town Vice-Mayor over "Straight Pride Month"

Since the early 1990s, homosexual activists have fought to
normalize their behaviors and codify them into a distinct identity worth of
civil rights protections. Massachusetts forced the recognition of same-sex
marriage on the residents of the Commonwealth in 2003. Fast forward two
decades, and people are losing their jobs, their businesses, and their
liberties for opposing the LGBT movement. Of course, there were warning signs
about LGBT tyranny at the same time. As early as 2004, pastors in
Sweden were going to jail for preaching against all forms of sexual deviance,
including homosexuality, adultery, and pre-marital sex.

The fight to normalize homosexuality and transgenderism has
taken more wicked turns since then. Bakeries are forced to “bake the cake” for
the gay wedding, or they face crippling fines and foreclosure. Proprietors in private
firms in other fields are facing pressure to compromise their deeply-held
religious beliefs. In
Canada, pro-family activist and Christian Bill Whatcott is facing
two criminal trials just for passing out Gospel tracts in two gay pride
parades.

In California, the corrupted, left-wing, hyper-partisan
state legislature has been chipping away at First Amendment rights, including
freedom of religion, for the last 8 years. They have declared war on nature and
nature’s God, certainly, as they continue promoting homosexuality and
transgenderism at the expense of Biblical morality and biological truth. They
have banned conversation therapy for minors. They have required single-use
restrooms to accommodate both genders—and transgenders. Businesses must teach
their employees about sensitivity. You can go to jail for a year for using the
wrong pronoun in a nursing home, but you will only get a slap on the wrist for
knowingly infecting someone with AIDS. Even public schools must each about
homosexuality and transgenderism, and often as early as third grade!

California lawmakers are now pushing a ban on conversion
therapy completely, plus any teachings, books, or statements that denounce or
discourage same-sex conduct and transgenderism. This bill, AB 2943, would
essentially ban the Bible and turn any pro-family activist or common-sense
individual into a criminal overnight.

But the LGBT Movement is not just attacking the rights of
Californians on a broad scale. They are going after every individual who speaks
his or her (those are the only genders I will recognize)

The target of this LGBT Hate Machine? Dixon, California
Vice-Mayor Ted Hickman. It all started with an article posted in the local newspaper
and his blog. Hickman let his views be known about “Gay Pride”
Month. Why not have a “Straight Pride America Month” too? His writing was glib,
tongue-in-cheek. One quote showcases his determination to speak his mind
without shutting anyone down: 

“I am proclaiming July as NOT LGBTQ-WTF aka… Straight pride
month…You know…  I hereby resolve that I
proclaim the month of July to be celebrated as… I am proud to be a
heterosexual, monogamous, married to the opposite sex, straight individual that
knows what goes where and why.”

Outrage from the regressive left and LGBT activists erupted
at this breach of political correctness. The local press and throughout
California reported (really tattled) on Hickman. Even the national press took a dig at this vice-mayor for simply
writing what many people believe about life, marriage, and family.

At the July 10, 2018 city council meeting, Hickman
faced a firestorm of condemnation from constituents, but also many
people from outside the city of Dixon. They were calling for his resignation
just for sharing his points of view, but let’s cut through the noise. This
backlash was about more than his off-color remarks in an otherwise
straightforward article in the local press. This is another push in the
aggressive LGBT Agenda to silence anyone and make them suffer if they speak out
against homosexuality, gay marriage, or transgenderism.

His article contains some off-color remarks, sure, but by
and large his disgust with the movement, including its increasingly
inappropriate displays in gay pride parades in major cities, have turned off
lots of people. Even the gays themselves have found that “Pride Month” is
turning into something not to so gay, or something to be proud of. All of this
comes from  the declining sales and
attendance at some of the parades in larger cities (Toronto,
for example, as
well as London). At the 2017 Gay Pride Parade in Los Angeles, I met
gay Angelenos who told me that they voted
for Trump and therefore they had no interest in participating due to
the parade’s sinister political overtones that year.

There is hope, however. The
international pro-family group MassResistance has scheduled
demonstrations and attendance at the
July 24^th Dixon City Council meeting. This appeal is
going out to any citizen, anyone who believes in natural marriage, Biblical
morality, and the First Amendment to attend. Even in deeply regressive
left-wing California, citizens are waking up. They are fed up with the LGBT
Bullying, and they are not afraid to stand with Ted Hickman.

Twenty years ago, LGBT activists (actually, homosexual
activists, since the other letters didn’t come into play until later) told the
general public that they simply wanted to remove the criminal penalties for
sodomy. Most of the libertarian crowd and the younger generation laughed off
Christians, conservatives, and pro-family activists that any concerns about a
“slippery slope” toward future demands for gay marriage, paraphilias (sex with
animals, objects, and worst of all children) would never happen. They also
poo-pooed the argument that recognizing “Gay rights” would not impinge on the
natural rights of all citizens.

Here we are now, and the assurances have been exposed as
rank lies. Freedom of speech and assembly face unprecedented suppression. Men
and women of faith are losing jobs or are forced to resign their positions for
taking pro-family views. And its latest tyrannical manifestation is trying to
get a duly-elected city councilmen like Ted Hickman thrown out of office for
merely voicing their opinions—opinions shared by many in the community.

It’s time for us to take a stand against this abuse. For
