But I thought homosexuals only wanted to be left alone in their bedrooms!

Prove it. Better have it on video someone outright saying ‘we can’t hire you because you’re shacking up with another guy and pretending it is called marriage.’

Amazingly, many are STILL saying this, in not so many words.

It boggles the mind, doesn’t it? Even before the attacks on businesses and institutions started here, it had been going on in Europe for at least a decade.

I’m almost tempted to declare myself a lesbian (if I can make anyone believe me after over thirty years of marriage to one man), just so I can bring the first lawsuit against a Muslim entity. So far, every sodomite attack on religious freedom I’ve heard of has been against a Christian entity. Someone needs to set a precedent as to who ranks higher in the victimisation sweepstakes at this moment-Muslims or sodomites. It might bring some clarity to this issue if it starting hitting another protected victim status in the protected class hierarchy.

Especially with the approval of honor killings.

When Fontbonne Academy fired Matt from a job that has nothing to do with religion, they came down on the wrong side of the law.”

The job is at a Catholic school, of COURSE it has something to do with religion, or at least it SHOULD.

What they really wanted along was a stage on which to perform, to applause and cheers for their sick perversion. And when they have that, it still won’t be enough to validate them or quiet the still small voice which tells them the truth-that they are sick and in need of repentence at the foot of the Cross, just like every other human born in sin in this world. All the forced validation of their sin won’t change that, just like it wouldn’t for a murderer, a liar, or a thief.

Until they become so hardened in their sin that they are given over to a reprobate mind.

Actually, if we really were still a FREE country, "discrimination" would still be an unalienable right of EVERY free person: business owners, individuals, corporations, etc. In fact, a constitutional government would PROTECT the right of every such entity to discriminate, to make distinctions, as a constitutional right to be protected at all cost.

The inavoidable social outcome will be that anyone declaratively gay or even looking gay will be denied employment in Christians organizations because “a better qualified candidate was found”.

Another social outcome will be less salutary. When we reach the point when gays get jobs or else they sue, hatred for the homosexuals regardless of how they personally behave will increase. I am sure that is what GLAD wants, no?

I predict the next move will be to sue a Parish, or Diocese, for refusing to 'marry' a homosexual couple. In this regard, they'll try to have the tax-exempt status removed, because the Church is denying someone something that is legal in that state; a civil marriage.

In my opinion, the Catholic Church in the US should stop being an agent of the State, and no longer have anything to do with civil marriage, thus removing that obstacle. She should ONLY do Sacramental Marriages, thus putting that issue squarely, and unequivocally in the realm of religious freedom. THAT would make for an interesting fight. The Church isn't saying that homosexuals can't be married legally, just that they can't receive the SACRAMENT of marriage, because they don't meet one of the central requirements for the reception of that Sacrament, specifically one man, one woman.

Of course this means that any two people who meet the specific criteria held by the Church can receive the Sacrament of Matrimony. So two old folks who want to married, but can't do so LEGALLY, and not lose some tax benefits, or mess up inheritance laws, can do so in the Church. And young folks can have their Sacramental Marriage, with the big party, then go down to the Courthouse whenever they feel like it, to make their union 'legal' in the eyes of the State and Federal Government.

Yes, at one time I would have thought that this was a temporary cycle of perversion which would correct itself, but I think the reprobates have managed to gain critical mass through the lobotomizing of at least two entire generations through public indoctrination centers and 24/7 popular entertainment being piped into their homes to feed them filth.

And it is not just in this country. This infection is world-wide.

Cold War veterans will remember the stories of Russian people who held on to their religion being persecuted by their government for their beliefs, sneaking through the back alleys to attend services, and sent to the Gulags by the thousands.

Now we have an arrogant anti-Christ in the White House forcing that same style of godless government on America.

He is violating our First Amendment rights, destroying the fabric of our nation, and openly persecuting Christians with nary a peep from congress or the senate.

How long before his critics start disappearing into FEMA run Gulags here in “The Land Of The Free”?

Notice that there are no news stories about Obama forcing his policies on muslims and muslim organizations in America the way he is doing to Christians.

During a lecture on sexuality and gender last semester, I characterized myself as a male lesbian to my students (mostly college freshman and sophomores). Some of them are still trying to figure it out.

If you really want to confuse them, say you are a trans-transgender man - a man, who wants to transition to a “woman” who really wants to be a man (who loves women.)

I am saying that I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body.
