San Antonio’s war against Christians…
This is a flagrant violation of the U.S. Cons ution...The San Antonio City Council are a bunch of anti-Christian activists.”
Any person who has either expressed any belief in favor of traditional marriage or in terms of Judeo-Christian morality regarding sexuality in general, verbally or in writing, would be barred from participating in public life on that city council,
The ordinance would ban Christians who believe sexuality is a sin from serving on the city council.

viewpoint discrimination?
facially uncons utional, or so one would think.
IOW, Critics are stupid.“No person shall be appointed to a position if the city council finds that such person has, prior to such proposed appointment, engaged in discrimination or demonstrated a bias, by word or deed, against any person, group or organization on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender iden y, veteran status, age or disability,” the ordinance reads.
Critics argue that the ordinance could ban Christians who believe sexuality is a sin from serving on the city council.
San Antonio is also the only major metro area in Texas that doesn't already have this.
Interesting
When did saying something become an act of discrimination?“No person shall be appointed to a position if the city council finds that such person has, prior to such proposed appointment, engaged in discrimination or demonstrated a bias, by word or deed, against any person, group or organization on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender iden y, veteran status, age or disability,” the ordinance reads.
So a catholic whose faith doesn't believe in gay marriage or abortion should be excluded from not only serving on the city council or being an employee of the city but having a city contract to provide goods or services?
Is that how everyone interprets it?
Does that seem fair?
I am ignorant on the subject as this is the first I have heard of it so I am reading about it now, but the "everybody's doing it" defense is not a very good one.
And I'm talking about a personal belief system and not someone who has actively discriminated against someone.
I interpret it as a ethics code that regulates hiring, more than anything. For example, if you feel all mexicans are s but keep it to yourself, that's fine. But if you go around calling people s, then it's a violation of that code.
In a way, I suspect it's close to what would happen if Trill interviews for a job with you, tbh... once he starts opening his big mouth, you'll probably look elsewhere...
"Demonstrated a bias by word"
i love it. Orwellian
But I would agree with WH that's facially uncons utional...
Could also work against atheists, for instance if they have ever complained about "Bible Thumpers". A bias (I read this as "Any" bias) is a pretty broad brush, it would seem to me. Just about any person who has a public record could be found to have some bias against someone for something, couldn't they? If you mention to someone that you get nervous when a Muslim gets on a plane; if you told someone you thought Christians were always trying to regulate morality because of their bible (shows a bias)...
Basically unless you never draw any conclusions about anyone you meet, they are a complete and utter, equal, blank white (er... neutral color) slate - you can't be hired or work for the city (based on the wording of this law).
Thought policing sucks.
lol war against christians
"we have the right to take away the rights of others!"
Bias.
Turn in your resignation.
it doesn't say "believe". believe whatever stupid bull you want.
it says: "discrimination or demonstrated a bias, by word or deed"
it doesn't say "Christian" either
boutons_deux You are not seeing the bigger picture…
It will get to the point where if a person wants to attend church & remain gainfully employed they will have to do it in secrecy…Perhaps behind a large building in a seedy neighborhood where their colleagues are not likely to see them…The same way Mormons who drink purchase their alcohol in Utah…
"It will get to the point where if a person wants to attend church & remain gainfully employed they will have to do it in secrecy"
CSF, you are not seeing anything, because your eyes and brain are full of .
I would hope that there are no public employees in the political forum. Posting in this forum will almost guarentee termination.
Saying your belief to anyone is demonstrating bias by word even if you haven't discriminated by deed.
Gotta admit though. Boutons is consistent. Still a foaming at the mouth idiot.
boutons_deux That was a very mean spirited reply...I choose to take the high road...
Do not answer a fool according to his folly or you will be like him yourself…
Proverbs 26:4
Oh Lord Almighty on high, deliver me from another Old Testament-thumper who foams at the mouth listening to bull from Fox News.
A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult...
Proverbs 12:16
The San Antonio City Manager not only demonstrates a bias against people that like to drink sodas but actively discriminates against them.
