Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is wrong, anti-trans agenda already harming Texas’ economy

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is wrong, anti-trans agenda already harming Texas’ economy

ICYMI: American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, IBM all call for end to anti-LGBTQ agenda by Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick

NEW YORK – GLAAD, the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, today called on media to correct the record after Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick made misleading statements this afternoon that the Texas economy has not and would not be impacted if anti-transgender legislation is passed during a “special discrimination session” that’s expected to begin tomorrow. Patrick made the remarks during a policy orientation event hosted by the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

Click here to watch the full video.

In his remarks, Patrick neglected to mention that cities like San Antonio have already lost conventions and millions of dollars in city revenue because of the ongoing and harmful anti-trans debate in the state. Further, Lt. Gov. Patrick today inaccurately portrayed North Carolina’s economy to be stable following the passage of the anti-transgender HB2, which caused an economic panic for North Carolina’s economy.

The nation’s top corporations, including IBM, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and AT&T, all have opposed Texas’ so-called “bathroom bill.” Not only has a so-called “bathroom bill” been opposed by the majority of Texans, but it could drain about $3 billion from the state’s economy while also putting the safety of transgender Texans in jeopardy. Even the Speaker of the Texas House, a Republican, voiced his opposition to the anti-trans bills – saying he was “disgusted by all this” and did not want “a suicide of a single Texan on [his] hands.”

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: HOW ANTI-TRANS BILLS HARM STATE ECONOMIES

 

Texas

  • Texas tourism industry is slated to lose 3.3 billion a year due to the bill, a study commissioned by the San Antonio Area Tourism Council shows.
  • Fourteen CEOs of companies, including American Airlines, AT&T, and Texas Instruments came out in opposition, saying “the so-called ‘bathroom bill’ that the Texas Legislature is considering would seriously hurt the state’s ability to attract new business, investments, and jobs.”
  • IBM, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and other major national business sent a letter to Gov. Abbott expressing staunch opposition to legislation,  describing it as both discriminatory and bad for business. 
  • The NBA and the NFL warned the legislation would harm Texas’ chances of hosting major games. 
  • The push for anti-transgender legislation has earned Texas $216 million in unwanted negative publicity.
  • Three major conventions have pulled city of San Antonio already, citing a 3 million dollar hit to city revenue.

RIP. Martin Landau. “Martin Landau, the actor whose gaunt, hangdog features graced films by film-makers as varied as Alfred Hitchcock, Woody Allen and Tim Burton has died. He was 89, and his death was confirmed by his publicist “following a short hospitalisation”.

But the men are more glamorous than the girls. They and their auto-airbrushed bodies are the tarty stars of the show (as the pectastic Love Island ident advertises).  They are, as they never stop telling us, ‘the total package’. However, this can lead to problems in paradise – where everyone’s true love is their own reflection, and ITV2 is their selfie stick.”

Anti-Gay Washington State Florist Appeals ‘Religious Freedom’ Case to SCOTUS, Wants to Join Anti-Gay Baker

Anti-Gay Washington State Florist Appeals ‘Religious Freedom’ Case to SCOTUS, Wants to Join Anti-Gay Baker

As promised, Barronelle Stutzman, the Washington state florist who refused to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding because of her allegiance to Jesus has appealed her case to the U.S. Supreme Court, KUOW reports:

Attorneys for Arlene’s Flowers and its owner Barronelle Stutzman filed an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court Friday. They want to join the upcoming argument involving a Colorado baker who refused to make a cake for a gay couple’s wedding because of his religious beliefs about marriage.

The Arlene’s Flowers case involved a florist who would not sell flowers for a gay wedding in Richland on the same principles. The Washington state Attorney General and the couple filed suit against the flower shop owner in 2013 for illegally discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation.

The state has prevailed at every level up to now.

Representing Stutzman, and also the Colorado baker, is the SPLC-designated hate group Alliance Defending Freedom, who heard a closed-door speech last week from Attorney General Jeff Sessions, promising them that new “religious freedom” guidance from the DOJ was coming soon.

ADF writes in a press release:

For more than four years, Barronelle has endured the litigation in this case with unwavering grace, humility, and faith – even as she faces losing everything she owns. Now she will take her last stand before the U.S. Supreme Court, asking it to preserve her religious freedom and her right not to be forced to speak a message about marriage that violates her beliefs.

It’s hardly disputed that artistic expression, such as floral art, is speech. The Washington State Attorney General admitted as much. So, the real issue here is whether the state can compel her to speak a government-mandated message. The state claims that it has the right to do so – that it has the right to go after a 72-year-old grandmother for everything she owns just because what she believes does not fall in line with the state’s political agenda.

But that is blatantly unconstitutional.

If the government can demand that we speak a certain message or be punished, that should concern us all. That puts not just Barronelle’s freedom at stake, but everyone’s.

So, we are asking the Supreme Court to uphold Barronelle’s First Amendment rights.
