A few years ago I hosted gay activist attorney Andrea Ritchie on my radio program and asked her whether she believed the homosexual lobby could peacefully coexist with traditional Christian morality. After a very pregnant pause, she responded pointedly: "Sure, if Christians will give up their resistance to our cause."
Today, in the midst of the inane opposition to the Indiana religious freedom bill, her alarming words prove frighteningly prophetic.
Let's be clear what we are witnessing. Seeking to harness the power of the state to deny the rights of conscience to those who disagree with you – as the opponents of Senate Bill 101 are surely attempting to do – is a frightening appeal to a 21st-century reincarnation of fascism: "Believe like us, think like us, embrace our views or be fined, fired, evicted or punished by the state."

I hate this retreating to religious freedom. How about just plain freedom. How about recognizing our right to freely associate with whomever we choose and not being forced to deal with people that we would rather not FOR ANY REASON.
If we retreat to “religious freedom”, it’s only a matter of time before that is gone. As we are seeing.
It was always going to come to this. Stand and fight or bend over and ... well ...
At some point we must defend ourselves against their fascist aggression.
I choose “or else”.
“Or, else” what?

Eff ‘em.
Let’s have this out... now.
Sounds like the mark of the beast to me
Precisely.
Andrea Ritchie sounds like a member or a terrorist organization.
...or is that redundant?
Kind of like “hate crimes” treating some people special, I agree on that point.
However, they are organized to specifically attack Christianity.
“Sure, if Christians will give up their resistance to our cause.”
So it’s a cause, is it? Bring it on, sister!
Submission? Well that’s a bit of a problem. See, rumor has it the moderate dem’s have already turned you down, and if those philosophers and, uh, boy-lovers have found that kind of nerve, then...
A “Soros Justice Fellow”
Looks like she just aptly defined “Coexist”
You Brute!
Sorry, that was settled in the civil rights era.
