ACTION ALERT
GAY SUPER RIGHTS BILL PASSES-
Sunday, November 11, 2007
By William J. Murray
Chairman
Religious Freedom CoalitionThis week the House passed ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which grants special rights to homosexuals. If signed into law this organization would be forced to hire homosexuals as would Christian radio and TV stations. All commercial religious enterprises including Christian and Jewish bookstores would be forced to hire homosexuals. Non-denominational Christian schools are covered under ENDA as well. The bill allows for trial lawyers to get huge sums of money based on "perceived" discrimination. That is, if a homosexual feels uncomfortable working at a Christian bookstore that was forced to hire him, he can then sue the store as well.
Although forced through by Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi some 25 Democrats voted "no." HOWEVER: Some 35 Republicans crossed over and voted for this bill that would give rights to homosexuals which other Americans do not have.

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act – ENDA would end freedom of religion in the United States. Once the government can force a Christian organization to hire a homosexual it can force them change their core religious policies. Some 35 Republicans, including all three Catholic Hispanic congressmen from Florida, voted to force religious groups to hire homosexuals. Tom Davis of Virginia whose district is becoming more liberal also went for the gay vote. Complete vote totals should be available here –
