THE GAY RIGHTS AGENDA STOPS AT THE DOOR TO MY CHURCH–AND MY BUSINESS
Breitbart ^ | April 4, 2015 | by ASSEMBLYMAN TIM DONNELLY

Posted on 04/04/2015 7:44:40 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

I have a dream.

I have a dream that I will wake up one day in a country where we don’t have to go to court or pass a law to protect our fundamental natural rights—from the government.

I have a dream of a place where elected officials have so much regard for the Constitution that they memorize it like Scripture, in order to not sin against it.

I have a dream about a country where it doesn’t matter if you are on the right or the left, because you have so much respect for the freedoms you were given that you’d do nothing to put those liberties at risk.

If you told me that America in 2015 was such a place, I’d have to say, “April Fools” and go back to sleep.

Unfortunately, the joke is on us.

States have been forced to pass laws in order to protect the First Amendment right of Americans to practice their faith and believe as they choose—if they happen to own a certain type of business.

The fact that new laws are necessary to uphold a fundamental right is a travesty.

And it is a sign of how far we’ve fallen from the Founders’ vision of a nation where the government kept its hands off your business, your religion and your rights.

Regardless of the politics of this embarrassing charade playing out in Indiana and other states, the stakes couldn’t be higher. This battle isn’t about a gay person’s right to be served; this fight is about whether a gay rights activist can use the government and the courts to coerce someone into doing something that violates their faith.

That takes this out of the bedroom and puts this debate squarely into the realm of the Constitution...

I'll never give in to the pervert's agenda, Jesus is too important to me for that.

I will die first.

Amen. The “gay rights” movement ends at my front door and the door to my business!!

We need a real leader who is committed to fight the fight to reclaim our constitution and it’s not Jeb Bush and not even Walker.

Go, Cruz, GO!!

We now live in a segregated country, different laws for different people.

Excellent article, and worth repeating - if not making into a sign placed on the front door of every Christian home and business in the country:

“I don’t care what you do in your bedroom or who you choose to love, but when you come into my church and my business and try to coerce me to do something against my beliefs, that’s where I draw the line! Just as I have no right to tell you what you can and cannot do in the privacy of your bedroom, you have no right to tell me what I can and cannot do in my business. So, if you cannot respect my beliefs, get out and stay out!”
