CBS News: Liberty Counsel Is Behind Anti-LGBT Hate Laws In At Least 20 States

Hat tip, Joe.My.God: CBS News: Liberty Counsel Is Behind Anti-LGBT Hate Laws In At Least 20 States {VIDEO}

CBS News reports:

Lawmakers in state after state are passing bills to protect those who cite religious beliefs for refusing to serve or employ gay or transgender people. CBS News wondered why so many of these laws — including some that limit access to public restrooms — are surfacing now … and who’s behind all of this? We went and found out.

Demonstrators against the so-called bathroom bills were out in force in South Carolina — their chants echoing those in other states where they say legislatures have have enacted laws enabling bigotry.

But while they protested, the conservative group, that’s helped author many of those measures protecting religion over sexual orientation, was working at its Orlando area office on new ways to uphold what it says is really at stake.

It wouldn't do to identify the corporate advertisers who have poured millions into this and similar projects. They might object to higher authority in the food chain at CBS.
