When a Christian pastor in Canada wrote a commentary on the Bible's perspective on homosexuality, a government commission ordered him to renounce his faith and apologize. When a family owned photography studio in New Mexico refused, on religious grounds, to take pictures at a same-sex ceremony, the fine for such "discrimination" was $6,600. Now the experts say Colorado is joining in the repression of the practice of Christianity.
"Getting beyond the bathroom and locker room issue, the biggest danger this law poses is to the religious or moral consciences of small business owners who may object to doing business with people whose lifestyle they do not want to promote," Bruce Hausknecht, a spokesman with Focus on the Family, told WND about Colorado's new law, SB200.
WND reported earlier when the chief of Focus on the Family, James Dobson, criticized Gov. Bill Ritter for signing the law because of its dangerous implications for anyone who provides a "public accommodation" because they no longer will be able to discriminate based on sexual orientation or even "perception."
"Who would have believed that the Colorado state legislature and its governor would have made it fully legal for men to enter and use women's restrooms and locker-room facilities without notice or explanation?" Dobson said at the time.

It is really scary that these “Human Rights” commissions now have the ability to levy fines. I was aware they had such powers in other countries (Canada), but not this one.
“The homosexual movement has nothing to to with the rights of homosexuals. It is one of many methods to attack the foundation of the country, the family with the goal to replace our Representative Democracy with socialism/communism.”
There is far more than that going on. Since at the latest Clinton’s unprovoked attack on Serbia and to this very day, it has been the policy of the United States government to set up (through violent attack) and support politically, financially and militarily, Islamic states which have as matters of policy the destruction of Christianity. Our problems extend miles beyond a few fairies getting “married” in a state here and there.
So much for the so called first ammendment rights.
Is there source for this besides wnd, that actually shows the order?
If we don’t stand up for who we are, we won’t be anybody or anything.
In my job I deal with the various Human Rights Commissions of the various states. Believe me when I tell you they are out of control. They are staffed by little Bundists whose idea of self-worth is directly proportional to their unbridled lust for power. To call them demagogues is to elevate the word to a status it never intended.
Well said.
Every now and then I think that if things get bad enough here in the US, I will at least be able to flee to a country like Canada or Australia, but then I read stories like this.
Canada cannot really be characterized anymore as part of the free world.
They are a large part of the lefts movement to transform the social fabric. They are relentless and sadly many are completely oblivious to the movement.
PERCEPTION? I perceive myself to be tall and handsome but the reality is that I am not.... How does my perceiving so, make it real, make it something legal? These Politicians are insane. How are they getting electing into office? What is wrong with us for allowing it? I thought this was America not France............
These laws will be misused the way RICO was misused against abortion protesters.
Libs don’t have jobs or families the way conservatives do and have alot more time/resources to start frivolous suits.
When will, we the people, demonstrate outrage constructively? So far we have whined; yet complied. The libs have been successful because of our lack of courage to stand up loudly against the evil of this world. I’m singing to the choir, I know; but any ideas of how to start a ‘we’ve had enough’ campaign. We can burn a flag but we can’t say God. We can’t drill because Greenpeace says so and the list goes on.....
Come on people, wake up! It’s time to stand together and take whatever steps are necessary to reverse the wickedness that our lethargy has authorized to spawn. Where homosexuality flourishes, all manner of wickedness abounds.
Don’t allow yourself to be deceived any longer. These activists are not morally upright citizens, concerned about the best interests of our society. They are perverse, self-centered and morally deprived individuals who are spreading their psychological disease into every area of our lives. Homosexual rights activists and those that defend them, are just as immoral as the pedophiles, drug dealers and pimps that plague our communities. [My emphasis.]
I am afraid to say I find this extremely nasty. But as the old line goes, I would fight to the death to defend his right to say that. Thank goodness for our First Amendment right to freedom of speech!
Why do you find the pastor’s comments nasty? They seem right on to me.
I kid you not
I friend see’s a therapist , anyway after the appointment I pick her up and she gives me a note.
we get to dunkin donuts and I read the note and it is a graph stating where a person thinks they are , ie.e suicifdal , happy, extreme depression etc etc
well I nearly went red after reading it
it stated that if you believe in religion that you are severly mental and that maybe you need to be in hospital.
I drop her off and get home, straight away I call this therapist and of course this person has not returned any calls as of yet, I will however try again later.
So iin a lib mind a man can poke another man in the arse, a woman can pretend she is a man and wear a strap on
yet if you believe in God you need to be in hospital
To think these people are trying to brainwash our chiuldren and adults who have depression or seek a bit of help.
If anyone knows where I can report this please let me know, I have the paper she gave me around somewhere as well
my above post was quickly typed so I am sorry for the errors of spelling, though I am sure you get the idea of what I am asking and saying
I think it goes too far to compare homosexuals with predatory criminals such as pedophiles and drug dealers.
