Rick Perry discrimination campaign

So as I've seen on Facebook, there has been a lot of fury towards Texas governor Rick Perry. He has made this promotional video:



"I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a Christian, but you don’t need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there’s something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can’t openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. As President, I’ll end Obama’s war on religion. And I’ll fight against liberal attacks on our religious heritage. Faith made America strong. It can make her strong again. I’m Rick Perry and I approve this message."


The “Strong” Ad is a campaign ad for the 2012 republican presidential candidate. The ad became a viral video because of Perry’s negative statement about Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, the ban on gays serving openly in the military, and received over 200,000 thumbs down votes in less than three days. Comments were banned from being posted.

I do not believe that religion has not been banned in public places. For example, If a student wanted to pray before an exam, that would be totally fine, as they have freedom of religion. However, if a teacher tried to lead a class in prayer before they all took an exam, then that’s not ok, as he’s more or less forcing his religion onto them, and thus infringing on their rights to be free from religion.

My question is simple: Do you think there will there ever be peace with the LGBT community in our country? As we are in such a progressive era, it is hard to believe that such things like sexuality can separate us.. but they do.
