Fox Pundit: Obama Forcing 'Militant LGBT Agenda' on Christians

The bashing of President Obama’s executive order banning anti-LGBT discrimination by federal contractors has begun.

The president and his administration are “hell-bent on forcing Christians to assimilate to the militant LGBT agenda,” writes Fox News correspondent Todd Starnes in an op-ed published on FoxNews.com Monday, the day Obama signed an executive order that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity by companies doing more than $10,000 worth of business a year with the federal government.

Starnes particularly objects to the lack of a broad religious exemption similar to that in the current version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, seeing this as an attack on the rights of Christians.

Starnes quotes well-known anti-LGBT activist Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council, an organization that has been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, to back up his specious arguments. Sprigg has argued in the past that homosexuality should be criminalized and gay Americans should be deported (to where exactly, one is forced to wonder).
