___Vice President for Legal Studies of the Center for Family and Human Rights, Stefano Gennarini, is outraged over the idea that every member of the Democrat Party, along with six Republicans in the US House, would pass a bill that he believes will send religious freedom into history and stop all freedom of speech- for people outside of the United States.
Find out who you are not allowed to criticize, and you will find out who controls you. Right? The following US Reps joined with the Democrats to upend Western Civilization- by pushing to elevate draconian constraints on the people of the world who don’t comply with the LGBTQ agenda. And the danger to Americans is- we are next.
The six progressive leftist-Republicans are Brian Fitzpatrick from PA, Katko New York, Adam Kinzinger Illinois, Peter Meijer Michigan, Reed New York, Salazar Florida.
Key Point: The Global Respect Act, a Foreign Relations bill that elevates people who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual, or Queer, and gives the US Federal government the power to deny human rights to people who do not elevate those lifestyle choices, forcing people to deny thousands of years of norms, values, ethics, traditions, health concerns and religious teachings.
According to the bill: This bill imposes visa-blocking sanctions on foreign persons responsible for or complicit in violating the human rights of individuals due to actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, or sex characteristics. The President must report and periodically update a list of foreign persons responsible for such human rights violations and apply sanctions accordingly.
The Department of State must designate at least one senior officer who shall be responsible for tracking violence and discrimination against individuals based on actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, or sex characteristics in foreign countries.
“This is how the McCarthy movement against Communists started to remember; they said they wanted to find Communists outside of the United States, and that turned inward on American citizens. What we have here could be a slippery slope for Americans, but this bill is really about controlling people outside of the United States, at this time,” Gennarini told me on Monday.

U.S. House Democrats Adopt Bill to Prosecute Foreign Opponents of LGBT Agenda
On a party-line vote with 6 Republicans joining the Democratic caucus, the House voted in favor of this bill. However, if it passes the Senate, the US Presidency will become a weapon in the culture war.
The Global Respect Act would ban U.S. entry to foreigners who oppose the homosexual/trans agenda.
The bill passed the House primarily along party lines on Wednesday, with a vote of 227 in support and 206 against. Six Republicans joined Democrats. The bill gives the U.S. President power to impose visa sanctions on foreigners he judges “complicit” in human rights violations against individuals who identify as homosexual or trans.
Democrats claimed the bill was “historic” and necessary to prosecute human rights abuses across the world.
Republicans countered that the bill was unnecessary and duplicative because egregious human rights abuses against such are already prosecuted under federal law. They also warned that the bill would be misused to target political opponents of the agenda and would inhibit freedom of speech and freedom of religion around the world.
