Here’s the inside story:

• The mayor is saying he does not have the votes to override a veto, but that is not correct.  Votes can and often change between the time of a vote on a bill and the vote on a veto override.

• Mayor Curry eventually wishes to seek statewide office in Florida, and he needs to know that if he does not veto this HRO, his permanent record will be one of strong support for LGBT rights and no regard for the privacy, dignity, safety and security of women and children.

• Last night the mayor pulled a slick political move to avoid pressure on him and made a premature announcement as if he has already vetoed the law.  The truth is he has at least 10 days to veto or allow it to pass into law.  Until then, the ordinance is not law, and the matter is still open.

• The mayor can veto the bill, he should veto the bill, and if he does not veto it, he needs to understand there will be consequences for his political record.

• Mayor Curry publicly promised several Jacksonville pastors in person that he would veto the bill and he has been talking to those pastors behind the scenes trying to back pedal on his promise as if the matter is over and there’s nothing he can do.  This is not true.

• Worst of all, the last part of this ordinance says that only after it is passed, then it will be written in its final form by a group of lawyers, so the public never received clear notice of the extent of what this bill says and what it does.  This is a major constitutional and due process issue making the ordinance totally illegitimate.

• This matter is not over until it’s over so take action now!

The City Council of Jacksonville is currently moving to pass a so-called “Human Rights Ordinance” which will create new protected classes for the categories of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.  These laws in other cities have been used as weapons to punish citizens for simply exercising their religious views and free speech within their own businesses and in private property ownership.  These same laws are also being used to allow fully biological men who either cross dress or subjectively claim they feel they are women to have complete access to women’s bathrooms, showers and locker rooms.  Another bill in the City Council proposes largely the same ordinance but would place it on the ballot allow the people of Jacksonville to accept or reject.  One of these bills will pass out of the City Council.  A similar bill was recently rejected in a referendum by the people in Houston, Texas.  For more information check out www.DefendJaxFamilies.com

BACKGROUND:
The City Council of Jacksonville is currently moving  to pass  a so-called “Human Rights Ordinance” which will create new protected classes for the categories of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.

These laws in other cities have been used as weapons to punish citizens for simply exercising their religious views and free speech within their own businesses and in private property ownership.

These same laws are also being used to allow fully biological men – who either cross dress or subjectively claim they feel they are women – to have complete access to women’s bathrooms, showers and locker rooms.

Another bill in the City Council proposes largely the same ordinance but would place it on the ballot to allow the peo-ple of Jacksonville to accept or reject.

One of these bills will pass out of the City Council. A similar bill was recently rejected in a referendum by the people in Houston, Texas.

As a citizen of Jacksonville, I want the City Council to allow the voters of Duval County to decide this controversial issue by a referendum and not to force this “Human Rights Ordinance” upon our community by a vote of only ten members of the City Council.

Human Rights Campaign, the DC-based LGBT attack machine, has revealed that its next target is Jacksonville.

Originally Published on DefendJaxFamilies.com

On November 3, Houston citizens repealed an unpopular LGBT law like that proposed for Jacksonville.

Despite LGBT lobbyist armies and media saturation, outraged voters struck back with an overwhelming
61-39% referendum majority.

The ordinance had created a public hazard and elevated LGBT’s to a special rights status over other citizens.

Voters, more astute than their elected masters, knew this law was a public danger – it allowed any man, claiming female gender, to enter the public dressing, bath, and locker rooms of women and children.

It was dubbed the Sex Criminal Protection Law. Predators exploit such opportunities [1] – as Jacksonville knows well. [2]

After Houston passed the 2014 law, the outgoing mayor and her city attorney conspired to prevent the referendum sought by opponents. The lesbian mayor even subpoenaed the sermons of opposing pastors.

The Texas Supreme Court, following court actions, halted the corruption, ordering the referendum.

Locals had to overcome an invading horde of immensely wealthy outside LGBT pressure groups and their professional lobbyists chosen for their local connections.

LGBT propaganda failed despite a $3.5 million, 6-fold spending advantage – $500,000 from ACLU alone.

DC-based Human Rights Campaign (HRC) spent a fortune maintaining its 34-activist army – salaries, housing, travel, expenses. That army is now relocating to Jacksonville and Charlotte to expand those stealth HRC operations which the press won’t report.

As in Jacksonville, some Houston businesses turned against the community, unjustly calling it bigoted, and collaborated in the national LGBT power grab. They were duped by HRC’s preposterous “LGBT laws are good for business” myth. And they fell for the “LGBT civil rights” hoax – in reality a ploy to make government outlaw opposition to LGBT lifestyles.

Ultimately, the public won a crushing victory over an unholy gang of treacherous lawmakers, the ACLU and the nationwide LGBT attack machine which never even proved its bogus claim of discrimination.

Nationally, the ramifications are monumental. Limitless LGBT forces utilized every weapon imaginable fueled by vast expenditures, yet suffered a colossal public rebuke which broke its dissolute grip on America, jeopardizing its scheme to chain the U.S. in LGBT favoritism laws.

Like Atlantic Beach’s ousting of lawmakers, Houston’s grassroots revolution is a clarion warning to Jacksonville officials: Enact this unnecessary law and a costly, divisive referendum may follow.

And your political careers will be over.
