Nathan Bradfield has a nice little article on the Gay agenda trying to “shove” their values and morality down the throats of Christians and churches in Oregon. This new style “tolerance” is tolerance as long as you agree with them.
For all the whining homosexuals heap on us about not desiring morality “forced” upon them in this country, it’s not enough for them to have the freedom to commit sodomy in private. They are seeking to do the very thing they demand opponents not do: legislate morality in their favor. What they are forgetting is that 1.) all legislation is morality of some kind, 2.) their’s is not currently in place, and 3.) if they don’t like it, there are legal ways to change it. Though this has become the typical route liberals seem to take, it is not correct.
A measure being ushered down a fast track in the Oregon Legislature would give homosexuals a vast range of new state laws they could use to force their morality on Christians in the state.
Senate Bill 2, on its face, is written to enshrine in state law special protections for homosexuals by classifying them as a protected civil rights group. But hundreds of pastors – whose churches include tens of thousands of evangelical Christians – are horrified by what they see advancing virtually without opposition.
“Senate Bill 2, in the Oregon House of Representatives, if passed, will limit your free speech rights and rights of conscience; require public schools to teach that homosexual/lesbian/bisexual behavior is ‘okay’ and ‘moral’; impact your rights as a business owner; and put judges in authority on certain church matters,” according to David Crowe, of the Christian ministry called Restore America.
The bill would affect churches even though it has a so-called church exemption, he said, because it would require every church operation that isn’t directly in support of its primary mission goal to be subject to mandatory homosexual hiring requirements and other restrictions. And it would leave the determination of what is in support of a church’s primary mission to be determined by a secular judge.
Gay rights is not about equal rights. It is most certainly about special rights.
For Christian business owners, it would require them to hire and promote homosexuals irrespective of the religious beliefs the owner might hold – or whether the employee agrees with the products, in a Christian bookstore for example. For parents, it means their children in public schools would be subject to the state-sponsored and state-required indoctrination that the homosexual lifestyle choice is moral – even if the parents hold religious beliefs that contradict that.
“They want to put into law their view of morality, and that’s a small minority view of morality. They are seeking to impose that on the rest of us,” he said.
