The National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring seminars to encourage small businesses to favor homosexual employees. It also is teaming with the pro-gay Human Rights Campaign to publish a 32-page booklet on how small businesses can be more "inclusive."
“They want them to provide benefits for same-sex partners, which could increase health-care costs significantly," said Jeff Johnston, gender issues analyst for Focus on the Family. "They also want them to embrace the transgender community.”
Matt Barber, policy director for cultural issues with Concerned Women for America, said small businesses are being targeted because they are known for conservative values.
“If they can get to them and strong-arm them and intimidate them into casting aside those values," he said, "then that’s a huge gain for the homosexual lobby and a huge loss for anyone who holds traditional values.”
