=== Support for the [[homosexual agenda]] ==={{See also|Homosexual agenda}}In the United States, Soros promoted the [[Gay Straight Alliance]], which is responsible for the "toilet war" in [[North Carolina]]. In 2014, he donored about half-million dollars to ''Justice at Stake'', a gay homosexual organization that is committed to "the defence of [[diversity]]," a code word for [[Homo-fascism#LGBTI Bundling|LGBTI bundling]], in the courts.<ref>{{cite web |title=Einwanderung, Abtreibung, Homosex, Klimawandel – die ganze (linke) Agenda des George Soros |publisher=Katholisches, Magazin für Kirche und Kultur |url=http://www.katholisches.info/2016/08/einwanderung-abtreibung-homosex-klimawandel-die-ganze-linke-agenda-des-george-soros/ |quote=LGBT Ein nicht minder großes Betätigungsfeld von Open Society ist der Kampf gegen „Homophobie“, die als neue Form des „Rassismus“ bezeichnet wird. Auch in diesem Fall wurden im Vorfeld der Wahlen zum Europäischen Parlament besonders intensiv Gelder an zahlreiche Homo-Organisationen ausgeschüttet. Die Aktion hieß LGBT Mob-Watch Europe 2014 mit dem Ziel, „die Stimme und die Forderungen der LGBT Community und ihrer Verbündeten für die Europawahlen zu mobilisieren und zu kanalisieren“. Dank der von DC Leaks enthüllten Dokumente wird es in Zukunft nicht mehr möglich sein, die Existenz einer Homo-Lobby zu leugnen. Zu den Nutznießern gehört selbstverständlich Ilga Europe, das Gelder für das Projekt European elections 2014 Cross-communities Mobilization Project for a Universal and Indivisible EU Equality Agenda erhielt. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt auf den USA, wo Soros die Gay Straight Alliance förderte, die für den „Toiletten-Krieg“ in Nord Carolina verantwortlich ist. Eine halbe Million Dollar flossen 2014 an Justice at Stake, eine Homo-Organisation, die sich für die „Verteidigung der Diversität“ bei Gerichten einsetzt. Denn, so heißt es in einem nun veröffentlichten Dokument, „eine größere Diversität in den Büros der Richter verbessert die Qualität der Justiz für alle Bürger“. Was damit gemeint sein dürfte, kann man anhand der homophilen Urteile verschiedener US-Gerichte erahnen. |language=German}}</ref>
