Cuyahoga County Human Rights Commission, enacted by County Council, will be weaponized to penalize businesses, individuals, and churches who do not comply with the LGBTQ agenda. Touted as a committee to receive complaints of discrimination, the reality is, according to those who oppose the measure, that it will be a form of tyranny to force compliance upon individuals, businesses, and churches that don't go along with the radical homosexual agenda. This week's guest is John Stover, President of Ohio Value Voters, who encouraged clergy and Cuyahoga County residents to stand up against the passage of the Commission.
