Outing Christian Bigots In Australia [Wear a Ring for LGBT Marriage]
American Conservartive ^ | April 3, 2017 | Rud Dreher

Posted on 04/04/2017 8:00:37 AM PDT by C19fan

In this space, I have mentioned the concerns of several Christian readers that they will face pressure in their companies to declare themselves in favor of same-sex marriage, or stand exposed as “bigots” and marginalized. This is now happening in Australia. A reader there sends this story from The Australian. Excerpts:

Some of the country’s biggest businesses have upped the ante in the crusade for marriage equality by asking Australians to wear a specially designed “acceptance ring” until same-sex marriage is legalised.

Why not stick a yellow cross on believing Christians?

Really. It’s the same thing. I take it that Australia doesn’t have, as an enshrined right, freedom of religion? (unless, like other western nations, it’s muzzies, you know, the ones who will lop your head off for being a non-muzzie, or throw you from a tall building if you’re a sodomite).

It isn’t legal in the country, how can homofascist companies require political activism on a specific issue that does not affect an industry?

That is actually a good idea. It is a very fitting form of protest.

What does one wear to signify they’re soul mates with their goat?

I'm now convinced that support for sodomy will be a part of that. Sodomites are already denying the right to do business to those who opposed that lifestyle.

Yep. In some Muslim lands many Crescent moons ago Christians were required to wear big heavy crosses around their necks to single them out from the Muslims.

The ‘pressure’ to show acceptance of the sodomite community is growing. In order to use Airbnb, either as a host, or a guest, one must sign a declaration of “non-discrimination” (acceptance) of sodomites. If you have a an extra room or guest house you’d like to rent out, but don’t want men sodomizing each other on your property, Airbnb won’t allow you to use their service unless you allow such disgusting behavior on your beds. I was told that even people seeking to stay at a place listed through Airbnb must also sign the same acceptance document.

Since they want to force their users to sign a document essentially stating their fine with sodomy, I certainly won’t be using their service!

the crusade for marriage equality

Media lie. This is not 'equality' in any way, shape, or form. This is superiority with regard to homosexuality. They are, de facto, making traditional marriage an inferior institution.

Something like this is already happening in Seattle. A gay police officer's full-time assignment is to go around to businesses and ask them to display a "gay safe-space" decal in their storefront windows. This has acquired the status of "an offer you can't refuse," since - the last time I heard - not a single business had refused to display the decal.

You might say, "Well, I won't allow gays or anyone else to be harmed in my business, so there's no problem in displaying the decal," but that is clearly not the point of the campaign; the point is to declare support for the gay agenda in all its forms. The first business to refuse the decal will almost certainly be subject to negative press, boycotts, and possible vandalism and death threats.

A real-life twist on The Scarlet Letter. Next, Christians will be required to wear scarlet letter “C’s.”

So those in favor of moral values are basically forced to identify themselves.

It’s like back in the 1950s, during the Cold War in the US: if you didn’t want to show your patriotism by wearing a flag pin, nobody was going to make filthy communists like you do it.

I don't recall seeing any flag pins during the 1950's. These started to appear around 1970, during the Vietnam War.

Adlai Stevenson III, a liberal Democrat, famously wore one during his campaign for the US Senate from Illinois in 1970. After he won, he took it off, saying he was glad he didn't have to wear it anymore.

Some business ought to stand up to the bullies and say they won’t make a special exception for the sodomites, and until there’s a sticker for EVERY ‘special’ group, no sticker will go up. Of course it would be easier for the cop to just put a gold star on the window of that business.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Matthew 5

I won't even read this pile of trash until...

The central government of Australia has passed a law requiring that for marriage equality, making it a crime not to wear a specially designed “acceptance ring” until same-sex marriage is legalised.

In the war between the normals and the perverts, my money is on the normals.
No sense commenting until the dust settles.

Can people who call themselves Christians lie? Certainly, there are scriptural references to lying. There are also scriptural references concerning wisdom and discernment.

I'm astonished that this hypocrite was actually reelected after 1972.
