See my important update below on the work of Liberty Counsel to counter the radical homosexual agenda — Mat.
Conservatives,
If the current trend continues, pastors, churches, Christian business owners, and other people of faith will no longer be permitted to cite religious exemption or rights of conscience because everyone will be forced to either compromise their values or stand and face the consequences of civil authorities and the wrath of the pro-homosexual bullies.
In a single egregious ruling on same-sex "marriage," the Supreme Court re-energized the pro-homosexual community and created a backlash against those of us who are willing to stand against the immoral upheaval destroying our nation.
Since their ruling, the judicial and legislative processes have been in chaos …
•In Massachusetts, Catholic Charities was forced to cease adoptions.
•In New Mexico, a wedding photographer was forced to photograph same-sex union celebrations or cease her wedding photography business. The same happened with a baker in Oregon.
•In Vermont, a Christian family was forced to allow their bed and breakfast to be used for a same-sex union celebration.
•In New York, a family farm was fined $10,000 for refusing to allow a facility to be used for a same-sex ceremony.
•In New Jersey, a Christian denomination lost its property tax exemption for refusing to allow the facility to be used for a same-sex ceremony.
•In Texas, five Houston-area pastors (two of whom we represent) were singled out and subpoenaed by the city's lesbian Mayor, demanding all communications between the pastors who supported the "bathroom bill" petition and their constituents, as well as all sermons and speeches referencing homosexuality, transgender issues, or the Mayor herself.

I referenced the most recent assaults on a Washington florist and an Indiana pizza shop in my last message. The list will doubtless grow longer.
I believe the time has come that the church and all Christians will be forced to take sides on this issue. The decision will be whether to compromise religious beliefs... or resist.

+ + The liberal media and homosexual advocates have intentionally lied about the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).
The most recent controversy surrounding the Religious Freedom Restoration Act reveals what we have long known about so-called homosexual "tolerance" ….
Homosexual advocates have no
tolerance for religious freedom. This is a "zero sum game" with a winner
and a loser, and the homosexual lobby has no room for religious freedom
or people of conscience who disagree.
Liberty Counsel is calling on grassroots Americans to Stand Your Ground against the leftist bullies and the media who have totally distorted the facts. We are urging patriots to resist these baseless attacks, and when necessary, help us engage in legal action.
With your support, we will be there to help pastors or Christian business owners and employees stand against the malicious onslaught of the pro-homosexual community.
We can engage in this battle only with your help.
Please help us build our vital litigation war chest, which undoubtedly will be greatly needed.
