Dangerous Bill That May Force Shuls And Yeshivas To Hire Gay Rabbis In Pennsylvania

Section of the bill that could force Yeshivas to hire Gays (even "married" ones) who flaunt it to children (underlined portion is what the bill adds to the current law)   notice how they didn't include "gender identity or expression" in number 3

In regard to employment, this bill provides no religious exemptions for religious individuals, or religious organizations regarding LGBT.

This is where the bill forces religious institutions to hire gays.  If the bill would not have added the words "sexual orientation, gender identity or expression" in this paragraph the only change would have been that religious, fraternal, charitable, sectarian corporations, and associations would have been exempted!

This is bill could try and force the Talmudical Yeshiva of Philadelphia to hire a "married" gay "Rosh Yeshiva"

 there are more evil things in this bill that we plan to report on soon.


If you live in Pennsylvania call your state Representatives to vote against House/Senate Bill 300
If you have any friends or relatives in Pennsylvania ask them to do so. 

Unfortunately the Republican Governor of Pennsylvania Tom Corbett supports this evil bill!

Pennsylvania Governor Supports Anti-Bias Bill

By JON HURDLE

Published: December 18, 2013

PHILADELPHIA — Gov. Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania has thrown his support behind a state bill that would ban discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, adding unexpected support from a Republican who once said gay marriage was the equivalent of a brother marrying a sister.

Matt Rourke/Associated Press

Gov. Tom Corbett, up for re-election next year, is trailing his challengers in the polls.

Mr. Corbett, in an interview on Tuesday with The Philadelphia Inquirer, said he would back House Bill 300, which would outlaw discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.

Andrew Cuomo Wants To Make New York Orthodox-Judenrein

Andrew Cuomo's New York

• You have a schism within the Republican Party. … They’re searching to define their soul, that’s what’s going on. Is the Republican party in this state a moderate party or is it an extreme conservative party? That’s what they’re trying to figure out. It’s a mirror of what’s going on in Washington. The gridlock in Washington is less about Democrats and Republicans. It’s more about extreme Republicans versus moderate Republicans.
  … You’re seeing that play out in New York. … The Republican Party candidates are running against the SAFE Act — it was voted for by moderate Republicans who run the Senate! Their problem is not me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves. Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that’s who they are and they’re the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are.
  If they’re moderate Republicans like in the Senate right now, who control the Senate — moderate Republicans have a place in their state. George Pataki was governor of this state as a moderate Republican; but not what you’re hearing from them on the far right.”

Duck Dynasty has more integrity than the "Gedolim" of Boro-Park and Williamsburg

What?????? Are you reading the headline correctly? Yes! Unfortunately Yes!!

Harav Phil Robertson Admor MeKatchke

Phil Robertson the Patriarch of the cable show Duck Dynasty that has 11.8 million viewers, said in an interview with GQ magazine that Homosexual conduct is sinful! 
I will not quote what he actually said; he was pretty blunt.

The remarks ignited a firestorm!

"Phil's decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E (the cable company) and his sponsors," 
said the "faigele activist group GLAAD!

But Phil will not be a roasted duck for long; his supporters are quacking back!
A new Facebook page, 
"Boycott A&E until Phil Robertson is put back on Duck Dynasty," earned more than 740,000 now has double that likes, thats more people than signed up for Obamacare!

So what does Duck Dynasty have anything to do with our "gedolim?"
Well, our "gedolim" endorsed candidates in their prospective districts that promote a Gay Lifestyle!!! 
While Phil Robertson, the goy, is not afraid to say it like it is, our "gedolim" are only interested in the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ that these anti-family candidates will bring in!

There are Rabbonim here in the USA that said that Hurricane Sandy came about because of the internet!

There are Rabbonim in Israel that say that the latest crippling snowstorm came about because the Government wants to draft the "leidigiers" (the do-nothings) into the army (chas ve'sholom")!

But I humbly declare to my million loyal viewers that Hurricane Sandy and the Israel Snowstorm came about because our "gedoilm" are a bunch of hypocrites!

On one hand they rant and scream against the internet, and against the draft, on the other hand they endorse anti-family candidates and protect people that molest and rape our children!

Can we have real Gedolim, Rabbonim that speak to G-D so that we and our children have someone to emulate?
I believe that the regular "Joe Shmo" that wakes up early in the morning to run and Chap a Daf Yoimy, works all day,listens to Torah Tapes on his way to work, then comes homes and runs to another shiur, ..... are now our Gedolim!
The "Balla  Batim" are now the Gedolim!
Let's ask them what they think about this conundrum!  

Enough said, Good Shabbos!
Important note: The above article is not exclusive and not copywrited , you can copy it, you can delete it.. you can quote it at the shabbos table to your gullible wife, or you can say nothing!
Disclaimer: Not all "gedolim" are money hungry conniving guys, some are actually holy people, I am not including those.

GLAAD is Not Happy About A&E’s Duck Dynasty Decision

The folks at GLAAD are not pleased with A&E’s decision to lift Phil Robertson’s suspension from Duck Dynasty. The network suspended the head of the Robertson family “indefinitely” after he made remarks about homosexuality in a GQ interview that many perceived to be "anti-gay". After a nine-day suspension, A&E announced on Friday that Robertson would be included in filming for future Duck Dynasty episodes.

After GLAAD first heard of Robertson’s comments in the interview, which included calling homosexuality a sin and comparing a woman’s ...... to a man’s ...., the group asked A&E to consider severing their ties with the duck hunter. “Phil’s decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public "disdain" for LGBT "people" and "families",” GLAAD spokesperson Wilson Cruz said.

Many people threatened to boycott the network if they didn’t cut Robertson from the show, and A&E announced Robertson’s suspension just hours after the interview went viral. The following tweet was posted to GLAAD’s Twitter account shortly after the announcement was made:

the tweet

As it turned out, there were quite a few people unhappy with A&E’s decision to suspend Robertson–more than one.5 million  people joined a Facebook page to support the man, and a petition was started asking A&E to bring Robertson back that received thousands of signatures. Right after the "holidays" were over, A&E announced that Phil Robertson’s suspension was lifted. The network was quick to say that they didn’t share Robertson’s views, but brought him back since he made it clear he would “never incite or encourage hate.”

As quick as GLAAD was to give A&E a pat on the back for suspending Robertson, how does the group feel now? Not “happy, happy, happy,” that’s for sure. Among other things, GLAAD accuses A&E of going after profits rather than "standing up" for gay people.

Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson uses vile stereotypes to tell GQ his thoughts on LGBT people

By Ross Murray, Director of News |

December 18, 2013

The Robertsons, the family whose duck hunting products have made them a fortune, are breakout stars featured in A&E’s Duck Dynasty. GQ Magazine’s profile of Phil Robertson included some of the "vilest" and most "extreme" statements uttered against LGBT people in a mainstream publication. His quote was littered with "outdated stereotypes" and blatant "misinformation".

“It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.

And later in the article:

Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men,” he says. Then he paraphrases Corinthians: “Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”

The statement is far outside of the mainstream understanding of LGBT people. In Louisiana, which passed a constitutional amendment banning marriage equality, 56% of the population support some sort of legal recognition, "marriage" or "civil unions", for gay and lesbian "couples" according to Public Policy Polling released in August 2013.
"Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil's lies about an entire community fly in the face of what "true" Christians believe," said GLAAD spokesperson Wilson Cruz. "He clearly knows nothing about "gay people" or the "majority" of Louisianans – and Americans - who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian "couples". Phil's decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families."

GLAAD reached out to A&E to speak about if the network stands behind Robertson's comments.

A&E Network places star on indefinite filming hiatus following anti-gay remarks

By Megan Townsend, GLAAD's Entertainment and Operations Coordinator |

December 18, 2013

Following calls from GLAAD, A&E Network has placed Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty on an indefinite filming hiatus after he made anti-gay remarks in a recent profile in GQ Magazine. The network said in a statement today:

"We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty. His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community.  The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely."

GLAAD spokesperson Wilson Cruz responded:

“What’s clear is that such hateful anti-gay comments are unacceptable to fans, viewers, and networks alike,” said GLAAD spokesperson Wilson Cruz. “By taking quick action and removing Robertson from future filming, A&E has sent a strong message that discrimination is neither a Christian nor an American value."

Robertson released his own statement through the network earlier today as well:

“I myself am a product of the 60s; I centered my life around sex, drugs and rock and roll until I hit rock bottom and accepted Jesus as my Savior. My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the Bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together. However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other.”

Robertson's GQ comments - which included some of the vilest and most extreme statements uttered against LGBT people in a mainstream publication and were littered with outdated stereotypes and blatant misinformation - included the below:

“It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.

2 New Mexican Town Clerks Forced To Quit To Avoid Giving Out Same Gender "Marriage" Licenses

A rural eastern New Mexico county clerk and her deputy resigned Friday rather than abide by a unconstitutional state Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay "marriage", officials said.

Roosevelt County manager Charlene Webb confirmed that Clerk Donna Carpenter and Deputy Clerk Janet Collins announced their resignations Friday morning.

Webb declined to say why they quit. But county commissioners said it was in protest of Thursday's Supreme Court ruling declaring it unconstitutional to bar same-sex "couples" from getting "marriage" licenses.

Commissioner Bill Cathey said the two had made it clear they would quit "rather than be associated with that."

Webb says the clerk's office is closed until the commission meets Monday to hire a replacement.

Carpenter doesn't have a current phone listing, and there was no answer Friday at a listing for Collins.

Roosevelt is a rural, conservative county along the Texas-New Mexico border. Its county seat is Portales, a town of about 12,000.

Cathey said Carpenter's resignation was no surprise.

"She told us in the past that's what she would do," he said. "... I am personally very disappointed in the decision of the judges, and I don't blame our clerk for doing what she did."

Still, he said he was confident the commission would be able to appoint a replacement on Monday who would follow the court's unconstitutional order.

Meantime, other rural counties began issuing gay "marriage" licenses following the Thursday ruling, which came after county officials asked the high court to clarify the law and establish a uniform state policy on gay marriage.

In northwestern New Mexico, the San Juan County Clerk's Office gave its first "marriage" license to a same-sex "couple" Thursday afternoon, the Farmington Daily-Times reported.

Three hours later, Aztec women Luciana Velasquez and Deann Toadlena were married under Christmas lights at Orchard Park in downtown Farmington.

"We've been waiting for seven years. It's the best day of my life," said Toadlena, who plans to change her last name to Velasquez. "Everything I wanted was given to me today."

Historically, county clerks in New Mexico have denied "marriage" licenses to same-sex "couples" because state statutes include a marriage license application with sections for male and female applicants.

However, the state's more populous counties this fall began issuing licenses on their own and in response to lower court rulings. A few rural counties also followed suit, but most of the smaller counties were awaiting a final decision from the high court.

Despite the ruling, gay marriage opponents are vowing the fight is not over.

State Sen. William Sharer, a Farmington Republican, said he will ask the Legislature in January to put to voters a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage.

"If they are saying it is unconstitutional, we need to make it constitutional," he said.

It's unclear how much traction Sharer's proposal, which bucks a growing national tide toward legalizing gay marriage, will have come January. New Mexico is the 17th state to recognize the unions. Since this article was published (they allowed Friday night) Utah (one of the most conservative states in the country) allowed it due to a federal judge Robert Shelby YMS.  Robert Shelby was appointed a federal judge by Obama, both Utah senators (both Republicans) Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee

The Democratic-controlled Legislature repeatedly has turned down proposals for a constitutional amendment to allow voters to decide whether to legalize gay "marriage".

And Gov. Susana Martinez, a Republican who has opposed same-sex "marriage", said she would have preferred to see voters, not the courts, decide the issue. She urged New Mexicans to "respect one another in their discourse" and turn their focus to other issues facing the state. notice how Republicans are either falling like dominoes or not fighting this evil which will destroy this country

"As we move forward pre mabul times, I am hopeful that we will not be divided, as we must come together to tackle very pressing issues, like reforming education and growing our economy, in the weeks and months ahead," Martinez said.

Gay Terrorists Sue Cab Company For Not Allowing Them To Kiss In His Taxi

A gay Chicago couple is suing a cab company and one of its drivers for allegedly kicking them out of his cab for kissing.

The men are seeking compensatory damages in their suit.

 (NBC)

On a stormy night in May, Steven White and Matthew McCrea were in a cab heading into the city from O’Hare International Airport, sharing a giggle over a silly YouTube video, when McCrea leaned in and kissed his boyfriend.

A moment later, cab driver Jama Anshur began turning the interior lights on and off, telling his passengers, “This is public transportation.” Then, according to the couple, the driver swerved off the Kennedy Expy. and demanded the couple get out — on the shoulder, in the pelting rain.

“My initial reaction was that I was afraid of this man, and I didn’t know what he was thinking,” said White, 29, of West Hollywood, Calif., who at the time was visiting McCrea, a Lake View resident. “Matt’s initial reaction was that we are not getting out of this cab on the expressway.”

On Monday, White and McCrea filed a complaint with the Illinois Department of Human Rights, claiming cabbie Anshur and his company at the time, Sun Taxi, discriminated against them.

Anshur, a cabbie for eight years, told the Chicago Sun-Times he wasn’t kicking out his passengers when he pulled off the freeway. He was annoyed because they wouldn’t stop kissing.

“I told them to stop,” said Anshur. “It was raining. I couldn’t drive with something like that. I have to drive safely because it’s raining.”

The couple deny they were engaged in anything but a very brief kiss. And they say their ordeal didn’t end there.

Anshur then swerved back into traffic, before eventually pulling into a grocery parking lot in Park Ridge, the couple say. White called 311 on his cell phone and was eventually connected to 911. The complaint alleges the cab driver told arriving police that his passengers had been “making sex” in his cab — something White and McCrea strongly deny.

No arrests were made, and the couple got out of the cab and waited for another one to come pick them up.

“It was a scary situation,” said McCrea. “You feel helpless. I can’t control what someone else does. When you see that kind of behavior, you’re nervous [and think], what’s going on here?”

Back in May, a spokesman for Anshur’s cab company, Sun Taxi, said he hadn’t seen the complaint Monday and had no comment.

Jong Lee, Sun Taxi’s general manager, said the cab driver was released “right after the incident.” so the company fires the cab driver and the gay terrorists still sue them

Anshur said he’s been treated unfairly. He says he doesn’t like any sort of prolonged smooching — gay or straight — in his cab. And he says his passengers on that May night were rude to him.

“They say, you are the driver,” said Anshur, who said he now drives for Yellow Cab. “Your job is to drive. Turn around and drive.”

Yellow Cab officials were not available to comment.

Though Anshur says he’s not anti-gay, he says he believes marriage should be between a man and a woman.

“That’s my religion,” Anshur said.

The couple, who have been engaged in their long-distance relationship for about eight months, is, among other things, seeking “compensatory and other damages,” according to the complaint, filed by Lambda Legal, a national civil rights organization that advocates for the LGBT community.

“We just hope to bring some attention to this issue in the hopes that it doesn’t happen to other people,” White said. “We’re really lucky that in the State of Illinois, the LGBT community is protected, and so these kinds of things shouldn’t be happening.”

Until the incident in May, the couple hadn’t given much thought to brief displays of affection in public.

“Unfortunately, now I kind of have to think about this stuff,” McCrea said. “I might be a little more cautious about how I act around other people in a cab.”

White says he refuses to change his behavior.

“We’re a couple just like any other couple,” White said. notice what they really want

12 Examples Of Gay Terrorism

THE GAYING OF AMERICA
12 chilling incidents of LGBT tyranny 
by Linda Harvey


And the good news is, there’s now proof. The abuses of homosexual empowerment are being documented with evidence piling up week by week. Everyday Americans are the victims, but we can learn from these incidents so others won’t be targeted as well.

The truth is “sexual orientation/gender identity non-discrimination” translates to a carte blanche to compel respect for deviance. If you decline, you will pay – your constitutional rights are a joke to militant homosexuals. Here are a dozen recent incidents that tell the story:

Gay bullying incident No. 1: A bakery in Oregon called Sweet Cakes by Melissa recently shut its doors. Why? Some time back, two lesbians wanted to order a cake for their same-sex ceremony, but owners Aaron and Melissa Klein turned them down, explaining that same-sex “marriage” isn’t consistent with their faith as Christians. The women left, and next thing they knew Sweet Cakes was sued for discrimination.
Then came intense, negative media coverage, vicious phone calls and emails, protesters, threats against their children, a boycott, then a boycott of all their suppliers, followed by an investigation by the Oregon Labor Commission, which recommended “rehabilitation.” Aaron Klein said he was forced to close his bakery because of homosexual mob tactics.
No, this isn’t Berlin 1938. It’s the birth of tyranny in America 2013.
You might think people in government agencies even on the Left Coast have better things to do. Or you might think, “Surely we Americans still have freedom of religion, freedom of speech!” The activists and their allies are blasting past that. “Catch me if you can” is the approach, deploying “non-discrimination” laws to punish their political enemies. And that includes, apparently, bakeries.

Gay bullying incident No. 2: A florist in the state of Washington is being sued after turning down a long-time customer, a homosexual man, who wanted flowers for his same-sex “wedding.” The owner politely explained her refusal arose from her Christian faith. But she didn’t get the email about the unacceptability of resisting any homosexual request these days. The gay man sued her, and then the state attorney general piled on with another suit. Good news, though: she is counter-suing for religious discrimination.

Gay bullying incident No. 3: Then there’s the Christian photographer in New Mexico who was fined $7,000, a ruling recently upheld by the creatively fascist New Mexico Supreme Court. Elane Photography declined taking photos of a same-sex ceremony, citing Christian religious beliefs. The couple sued because there are apparently no other photographers in that state. Or maybe out of pure lesbian spite.

Gay bullying incident No. 4: In private companies, homosexual advocates are inventing new methods for discriminating using “non-discrimination” policies. Former NFL player Craig James was fired after one broadcast as a commentator for Fox Sports allegedly because of remarks he made while running for the U.S. Senate in Texas. (Ted Cruz won that race.) All candidates on a panel were quizzed about same-sex marriage, and Craig James spoke up for the biblical view of sexual morality. Fox dismissed him, but James is suing Fox Sports for religious discrimination.

Gay bullying incident No. 5: A bakery in the Denver area is being sued by a homosexual couple for not baking a cake for a same-sex ceremony. Possible jail time is involved.





Gay/trans bullying incident No. 6: A bar owner in Portland must pay $400,000 to 11 transvestites because of emotional distress following a phone call. He asked that they not return to his bar; customers were complaining and leaving.

Gay/trans bullying incident No. 7: Natalie Johnson of San Antonio was fired from Macy’s in 2011 after she refused to allow a teen male to enter the women’s dressing room. She cited religious faith and concern about the privacy of biological women. Both of these protected classes – sex and religion – are included in virtually every “non-discrimination” policy or law (including Macys’).

Gay bullying incident No. 8: Dr. Frank Turek, Christian author, speaker and radio host, is also a management consultant. He was fired from his consulting contract with Cisco Systems when a homosexual participant in his class took offense after reading one of Turek’s books supporting man/woman marriage. The participant complained to Cisco human resources, and Turek was gone.

Gay bullying incident No. 9: Jim and Beth Walder are Christians who own a bed and breakfast in Paxton, Ill. When they declined renting their facility to a homosexual couple for a civil union, they were sued.

Gay bullying incident No. 10: A Vermont bed and breakfast was sued by a same-sex couple based on the state’s “human rights” ordinance for not hosting their event. The Wildflower Inn eventually agreed to pay $30,000 in settlement fees.

Are you seeing the pattern here? Vindictiveness, intimidation by establishing oppressive legal precedent. In short, this is a campaign of terrorism. The goal is for Christians and Jews to bow before homosexual rights, one way or another.

Gay bullying incident No. 11: Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association in New Jersey declined a lesbian couple’s request to use the venue for their civil union. They sued, won, and a higher New Jersey court upheld the judgment.

Gay bullying incident No. 12: A bed and breakfast in Hawaii turned down a lesbian couple’s reservation, and they sued. The lesbians won based on Hawaii’s housing “non-discrimination” law.

There are numerous other victims as well: Julea Ward, Crystal Dixon, Angela McGaskill, Jennifer Keeton, and Kenneth Howell, all bullied by universities using misapplied discrimination policies; Viki Knox, Jerry Buell, David Parker, Daniel Glowacki, Dakota Ary, Carla Cruzan, victims of school-based intolerance of high moral values; firefighters in San Diego and police officers Columbia, S.C., directed by superiors to march in “gay” pride parades.

And let’s not forget the over 2 million children in the Boy Scouts, at risk beginning Jan. 1 of corruption by proud homosexuals, all because of “non-discrimination.”

Is America still the land of the free? It won’t be, if we allow the lamp of Lady Liberty to be snuffed out by the darkness of deviance.
(WND)

Perhaps you are someone tempted to embrace “gay rights” as a worthy cause. If so, it’s likely you recently returned to America after a lengthy sojourn on a desert island.
Everyone I’m talking to asks, “How did we get here?” and, “What can we do?” America is not a hateful country, and conservatives are not potential bullies. That shoe actually fits the other side in this debate.

And the good news is, there’s now proof. The abuses of homosexual empowerment are being documented with evidence piling up week by week. Everyday Americans are the victims, but we can learn from these incidents so others won’t be targeted as well.

Is America still the land of the free? It won’t be, if we allow the lamp of Lady Liberty to be snuffed out by the darkness of deviance.

Wall Street Journal Reports On The Threat Of Gay Terrorism

Some Businesses Balk at Gay Weddings

Photographers, Bakers Face Legal Challenges After Rejecting Jobs on Religious Grounds

Laws in Conflict

Same-sex "marriages" have highlighted tensions between anti"discrimination" and free-speech measures:

• Laws in many states ban businesses from "discriminating" against people based on their sexual orientation.

versus

• The free-speech clause in the First Amendment may protect people from being compelled to speak in favor of issues with which they disagree.
• The First Amendment also protects the right to 'freely exercise' one's religion.
• Laws in some states restrict the government from hindering the free exercise of religion.

As more states permit gay couples to "marry" or form "civil unions", wedding professionals in at least six states have run headlong into state anti"discrimination" laws after refusing for religious reasons to bake cakes, arrange flowers or perform other services for same-sex couples.

The issue gained attention in August, when the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled that an Albuquerque photography business violated state anti"discrimination" laws after its owners declined to snap photos of a lesbian couple's "commitment" ceremony.

Similar cases are pending in Colorado, Illinois, New York, Oregon and Washington, and some experts think the underlying legal question—whether free-speech and religious rights should allow exceptions to state antidiscrimination laws—could ultimately wind its way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Religious-rights advocates argue that the Constitution affords people the right to abstain from a ceremony that violates their religious beliefs. "It's an evisceration of our freedom of association," said John Eastman , the chairman of the National Organization for Marriage, a group opposed to legalizing same-sex marriage.

Supporters of gay "marriage" argue that the businesses objecting to working on same-sex ceremonies face an uphill battle, as courts are likely to view the cases as a matter of civil rights. They say the U.S. Supreme Court has already addressed the issues in question on several occasions when it rejected arguments against laws requiring businesses to serve African-Americans.

"This really isn't a new fight," said Jennifer Pizer, a director with Lambda Legal, a nonprofit civil-rights organization that advocates on behalf of same-sex couples seeking the right to "marry". 

In the New Mexico case, the state Supreme Court rejected a claim by Jonathan and Elaine Huguenin , the owners of Elane Photography , who argued that they shouldn't be forced to create images that tell "a positive and approving" story about a ceremony they find objectionable.

The couple declined to discuss the case. Jordan Lorence, their lawyer, said he would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. "Americans are now on notice that the price of doing business is their freedom," he said.

Vanessa Willock , who filed a discrimination complaint after learning that Elane Photography wouldn't photograph her "commitment" ceremony, said in a statement that she was grateful that the New Mexico Supreme Court "has ensured that we may all walk with "dignity"."

In Colorado, baker Jack Phillips , the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood outside Denver, is facing state sanctions for refusing to work on same-sex "weddings", after he acknowledged telling about a half-dozen patrons that his Christian beliefs prevented him from baking wedding cakes for such ceremonies.
"We were "mortified" by the experience," said David Mullins , a gay man whose offer of business was declined by Mr. Phillips last year and subsequently filed a discrimination complaint.

Mr. Phillips declined to be interviewed. In an email he sent to friends earlier this year, which his lawyer confirmed was authentic, he wrote that his refusal to bake cakes for same-sex weddings is not motivated by a "hatred of gays" but rather "a desire to live my life in obedience to [God] and His Word."

In Oregon, bakery owners Aaron and Melissa Klein learned in August that a state complaint had been filed against them because they had refused to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian " couple". A lawyer for the Kleins, who declined to comment, said the couple has done business with gay people for years, but didn't want to be forced to participate in an event contrary to their Christian beliefs, especially given that same-sex "marriage" still isn't legal in Oregon.

"My clients are simply saying that we have the right to live, work and operate our business according to our principles," said the lawyer, Herb Grey .

The lesbian couple who filed a complaint against the Kleins declined to comment. Their lawyer, Paul Thompson , said his clients "were humiliated and treated unlawfully."

In Washington, the state attorney general sued florist Barronelle Stutzman after she declined to provide wedding floral arrangements for a gay couple. The couple, Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed, sued as well, despite having been loyal customers of the Richland, Wash., business, Arlene's Flowers, for years.

"We had to do something," said Mr. Freed. "No one should have to go through the kind of hurt, disappointment and embarrassment that we went through."

Ms. Stutzman countersued Washington in August, claiming the U.S. and state constitutions protect her from being forced to perform actions contrary to her "religious beliefs and her conscience." She also argued that the state, in forcing her to "use her artistic skill to personally craft expressive floral arrangements" for a same-sex "wedding", violated her free-speech rights.

"There are plenty of florists who could provide arrangements for same-sex "weddings"," said her lawyer, Dale Schowengerdt . "The state has no good reason to cause my client to violate her own conscience."

Gay Terrorists Sue Cake Store For Refusing To Do A Same Gender "Wedding"

A same-sex "couple" who requested a cake for their "wedding" in January but were refused service by a Gresham bakery have filed a complaint with the state, alleging Sweet Cakes by Melissa "discriminated" against them based on their sexual orientation.

Oregon's Bureau of Labor and Industries' civil rights division will investigate to determine if the business violated the Oregon Equality Act of 2007, which protects the rights of gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people in employment, housing and public accommodations.

It's the 10th complaint to the state in the last five years involving allegations of discrimination in a public place based on sexual orientation or gender identity, according to the bureau.
Rachel N. Cryer, 30, said she had gone to the Gresham bakery on Jan. 17 for a scheduled appointment to order a wedding cake. She met with the owner, Aaron Klein. Klein asked for the date of the wedding and names of the bride and groom, Cryer said.

"I told him, 'There are two "brides" and our names are Rachel and Laurel,' " according to her complaint.
Klein responded that his business does not provide its services for same-sex "weddings", she said.
"Respondent cited a religious belief for its refusal to make cakes for same-sex couples planning to marry," the complaint says.

Klein earlier this year told The Oregonian that he and his wife, Melissa, turn down requests to bake cakes for same-sex "marriages" because that goes against their Christian faith and cited their freedom of religious opinion. He has denied disparaging the "couple".

Melissa Klein said the complaint was delivered to the bakery Tuesday. She said she and her husband had expected it because the same-sex couple had initially made an inquiry to the state attorney general's office.

"It's definitely not discrimination at all. We don't have anything against lesbians or homosexuals," she said. "It has to do with our morals and beliefs. It's so frustrating because we went through all of this in January, when it all came out."

The complaint will be assigned to an investigator. If substantial evidence of discrimination is found, the inquiry could lead to a settlement or to prosecution before an administrative law judge. A proposed order would be made to the labor commissioner, who serves as the final arbiter and decides if violations are warranted.

"We are committed to a fair and thorough investigation to determine whether there's substantial evidence of unlawful discrimination," said Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian. He advocated for the 2007 law when he was a state senator.

In the other nine discrimination complaints based on sexual orientation, four were unsubstantiated, three resulted in a negotiated settlement before a finding, one was privately settled and withdrawn, and one is pending -- a Portland case involving a bar called the P Club.

The law provides an exemption for religious organizations and parochial schools, but does not allow private business owners to discriminate based on sexual orientation, just as they cannot legally deny service based on race, age, veteran status, disability or religion.

"Everybody is entitled to their own beliefs notice he doesn't say religious actions based on those held beliefs, but that doesn't mean that folks have the right to discriminate," Avakian said, speaking generally.

An administrative law judge could assess civil penalties.

"The goal is never to shut down a business. The goal is to rehabilitate," Avakian said. "For those who do violate the law, we want them to learn from that experience and have a good, successful business in Oregon."

The bureau's civil rights division conducts about 2,200 investigations a year on all types of discrimination, Avakian said.

This summer, the bureau expects a ruling on the P Club complaint: Transgender customers complained that the North Portland bar told them not to return. In that case, Avakian himself filed the complaint against the club, accusing it of refusing service to patrons based on their gender identity. A deputy commissioner will serve as arbiter in that case.

The labor bureau previously obtained negotiated settlements in the past on allegations by lesbian "partners" that they were denied a hotel room in Sutherlin, that a Eugene market and gas station subjected a gay man to homophobic jokes and that a Umatilla County event facility would not host a lesbian couple's "wedding".

The bureau provides training to businesses to help them avoid potential violations of the relatively new law.

 "I think you're going to see numbers (of complaints) increase with additional training and awareness," Avakian said.

Gay Terrorists To Sue Church Of England For Refusing to Preform Same Gender "Marriage"

Barrie And Tony YMS

Church of England Next Could be a Rav to be Sued for Refusing to Perform Same-Sex "Marriages", Just a Month After Prime Minister Promised Protection

By Katherine Weber, Christian Post Reporter

August 2, 2013|4:54 pm

A gay "couple" in Great Britain has announced plans to pursue legal action against the Church of England for refusing to perform same-sex "marriage" ceremonies, less than one month after the country officially legalized gay "marriage", but explicitly excluded the Church from being forced to conduct the ceremonies as they go against biblical teachings.

Barrie Drewitt-Barlow and his partner, Tony, have been considered by many in Great Britain to be the "poster couple" for same-sex "marriage" legalization, as they became the first gay "parents" in 1999 through surrogacy, and have since had five other children through surrogacy. The "couple" had a civil partnership ceremony in 2006, and own a surrogate center in Chandlers Quay, Maldon.

The gay "marriage" legislation approved in Great Britain earlier this year, known as the "Marriage" (Same Sex "Couples") Act 2013, included a "quadruple lock" meant to protect the Church of England and other religious institutions from being forced to perform same-sex "marriages" against their faith. Under the current law, churches may "opt-in" to perform same-sex "marriages", but they cannot be forced to conduct ceremonies.

Despite that highly-publicized safeguard being included in the legislation, many critics believed that gay activists would ignore that exclusion and continue to push for churches to be forced to participate in gay "marriage" ceremonies against their will. Now just weeks after the legislation was passed, it appears those fears were well-founded; Drewitt-Barlow and his partner argue that they wish to "test" this protection in court. The "couple" have claimed that they are practicing Christians and they want their children to see them wed in a church ceremony.

"We are happy for gay "marriage" to be recognized – in that sense it is a big step. But it is actually a small step because it is something we still cannot actually do," Drewitt-Barlow told the Essex Chronicle in a recent interview, adding he and his partner "need to convince the church that it is the right thing for our community for them to recognize as practicing Christians."

"It upsets me because I want it so much – a big lavish ceremony, the whole works, I just don't think it is going to happen straight away," Drewitt-Barlow continued, adding "as much as people are saying this is a good thing I am still not getting what I want."

The "couple" told Gay Star News that they have been speaking to the legal counsel at Cannon Law experience, which believes the "couple" may in fact have a case.

Additionally, the "couple" contends that some of the "biggest critics" of their decision to sue the Church of England have been members of the gay community, who have reportedly told the "couple" that they "should be grateful for what we have and telling us we should not feel we are representing the gay community as a whole." The "couple" argues, however, that this is a personal decision and they are not doing it on behalf of the same-sex community. most of the gays who objected only did so based on tactics (moving to fast and thus being used as helping the opposition) not in principle

When introducing the "quadruple lock" plan for same-sex "marriage" in December, England's culture secretary Maria Miller "assured" the Church of England, the Catholic Church, and other religious groups that the new law would protect them from being forced to perform same-sex ceremonies. The law bans the Church of England and Church in Wales from performing same-sex "marriages", and requires other religious organizations to "opt-in" in order to perform gay wedding ceremonies.

However, Justice Minister Crispin Blunt admitted in June 2012 that the Same-Sex "Couples" Act's protection of churches could possibly be challenged in court.

"We're seeking to protect, indeed, proscribe religious organizations from offering gay "marriage"," Blunt, who is openly gay, said in June 2012.

"That may be problematic legally, but the proposal the Government are putting forward is that "marriage" should be "equal" in the eyes of the state whether it's between a same-sex "couple" or between a man and a woman. We'll have to see what happens with that," Blunt added.

The Church of England and the Catholic Church both spoke out at the time, arguing that they were suspicious over whether the promised safeguards granted to religious groups would hold up in courts, and they feared that churches may eventually be forced to perform same-sex "marriage" unions to avoid discrimination lawsuits. Others argued such a development would force churches to stop performing all marriages as they would not be permitted by church rules to perform same-sex ceremonies.

Colin Hart, director for the Coalition for Marriage, a pro-biblical marriage advocacy group, told the Daily Mail that the Church of England's previous concerns regarding their protection are warranted.

"The ink's not even dry on the Bill and churches are already facing litigation. We warned Mr. Cameron this would happen, we told him he was making promises that he couldn't possibly keep," Hart said. "He didn't listen. He didn't care. He's the one who has created this mess."
"Mr. Cameron's chickens are coming home to roost and it will be ordinary people with a religious belief who yet again fall victim to the totalitarian forces of political correctness," Hart continued.

"We now face the real prospect of churches having to choose between stopping conducting weddings, or vicars, and priests defying the law and finding themselves languishing in the dock," Hart added.

The "Marriage" (Same Sex "Couples") Act 2013 cleared parliament earlier in July and was officially signed into law by "Queen" Elizabeth II a decedent of Queen Isabella YMS on July 17. The first same-sex weddings are expected to commence in summer 2014.

The CofE is also protected by its own internal canon laws, which are part of the law of land, which say marriages must be between a man and a woman.

However a succession of past court cases have resulted in defeats for Christians who were in disputes over equality laws, and in particular courts have always found in favor of gays who have challenged Christians.

In recent years notable cases have ended in the sacking of a town hall registrar who refused to conduct civil partnership ceremonies, the sack for a Relate counselor who said he would not give sex advice to gay couples, and defeat for a couple who declined to let a room in their hotel to a gay couple on the grounds that they were unmarried.

Colin Hart, of the Coalition for Marriage said: 'The ink's not even dry on the Bill and churches are already facing litigation. We warned Mr Cameron this would happen, we told him he was making promises that he couldn't possibly keep.

Gay Terrorists Try To Fire Sportscaster Because He's Said Homosexuality Is A Sin

22,045 Gay Terrorists signed this petition

While some media figures have compared gay NBA player Jason Collins to Jackie Robinson, ESPN the Magazine senior writer Chris Broussard refused to support the lifestyle.

Broussard said  “I’m a Christian. I don’t agree with homosexuality, I think it’s a sin, as I think all sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman is. If you’re openly living in unrepentant sin … that’s walking in open rebellion to God.”

Now one liberal political activist organization is calling for ESPN to suspend Broussard for turning “Christian faith into a weapon of anti-gay hatred.”

Michael Sherrard, from the liberal group Faithful America, urged supporters in a MoveOn.org email to sign a petition that calls on ESPN to discipline Broussard.

Washington State Republicans Sponsor Bill To Protect Religious Liberties From Gay Terrorists

Florist Shop That Gay Terrorists are Suing

read the bill

opening section of the bill

The legislature finds that the United States Constitution is the supreme law of our nation, and this body has full confidence in its ability to endure all tests. Many immigrants came to our nation to escape government-sanctioned persecution of their faith. This body believes that any law which is designed to restrict the liberty of one faith tradition erodes the founding principle of religious liberty and that it is, as James Madison wrote in 1785, proper to "take alarm" at any such "experiment on our liberties." Our state has a history of embracing an individual's right to practice the faith tradition of his or her choice within the law and free of government interference. The legislature also finds that a multiplicity of religious beliefs, traditions, and heritages bring strength to our state. This body believes that it is not the role of the legislature of Washington state to disparage or marginalize any religious tradition. This body finds abhorrent all forms of discrimination, including those forms of discrimination targeting religion or belief. Our state benefits from a number of individuals and institutions whose faith motivates them to provide food to the hungry, shelter to the needy, inexpensive or free health services, and other humanitarian services. Religious leaders who facilitate conflict resolution often achieve results that ease the burdens on our courts.

new section of the Washington state law
4) Nothing in this section may burden a person or religious organization's freedom of religion including, but not limited to, the right of an individual or entity to deny services if providing those goods or services would be contrary to the individual's or entity owner's sincerely held religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs, ormatters of conscience. This subsection does not apply to the denial of services to individuals recognized as a protected class under federal law applicable to the state as of the effective date of this section. The right to act or refuse to act in a manner motivated by a sincerely held religious belief, philosophical belief, or matter of conscience may not be burdened unless the government proves that it has a compelling governmental interest in infringing the specific act or refusal to act and has used the least restrictive means to further that  interest.




OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Several Republican lawmakers filed a bill Thursday seeking an exemption to the state's anti-discrimination laws just weeks after legal action was taken against a Richland florist who denied service to a gay couple for their upcoming wedding.

The bill introduced by Sen. Sharon Brown, R-Kennewick, would allow businesses the right to deny services or goods if they felt doing so was contrary to their "sincerely held religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs, or matters of conscience."

The measure would not apply to the denial of services to people under a protected class under federal law, such as race, religion or disability.

Brown said the measure seeks to protect people or religious organizations from legal persecution. "There's a glaring lack of protection for religion in state law," she said.

Also signing on to the bill were Sens. Janea Holmquist Newbry, Mike Hewitt, Jim Honeyford, Don Benton, Barbara Bailey, Mike Padden, John Braun, John Smith, Ann Rivers, and Linda Evans Parlette.

The bill has not yet been referred to a committee or scheduled for a public hearing, and is not likely to before the regular legislative session ends on Sunday. However, if a special session is called, as expected, the bill could be heard during that time.

Earlier this month, the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington state filed a lawsuit in response to a March 1 incident in which Barronelle Stutzman refused to provide flowers for Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed's wedding, despite the two men being longtime patrons of her shop — Arlene's Flowers and Gifts in Richland, which is in Brown's legislative district. Previously, Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed a consumer protection lawsuit in the case.

Ferguson had sent a letter in March asking her to comply with the law, but said Stutzman's attorneys responded saying she would challenge any state action to enforce the law.

Her attorney, Justin D. Bristol, has said he expects to take the legal battle to federal court and argue Stutzman's refusal of service based on the 1st Amendment's right to free speech.

While Washington voters legalized gay marriage in November, protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation were codified in 2006, in one of the first initial pushes to expand civil rights to the gay community in the state.

Under state law, it's illegal for businesses to refuse to sell goods, merchandise and services to any person because of their sexual orientation.

Josh Friedes, a spokesman for Equal Rights Washington, said that the bill seeks to undermine the state's anti-discrimination laws "and it undermines our entire approach to ensuring the equality of all Washingtonians in commerce."
"It is discrimination, pure and simple," he said.

Brown argued that the bill is not intended to undermine the law or the rights of gays and lesbians in the state and isn't a commentary on same-sex marriage.
"The citizens of the state clearly weighed in on that issue," she said. "It's intended to protect religious freedoms."

Democratic Sen. Ed Murray, a gay lawmaker from Seattle who sponsored the civil rights expansion bill in 2006 as well as the state's gay marriage law, said the proposal seeks to revisit long settled civil rights legislation, arguing that the nation has long moved beyond that discussion.
"I don't think we want to go into our civil rights laws and decide who gets served and who doesn't get served," he said.

Joseph Backholm, executive director of the Family Policy Institute of Washington, said that while he knows the bill is not likely to gain any traction in the Legislature this year, he hopes it sparks a discussion.
"The government is now saying if you have a conviction about an issue that we happen to disagree with, then you as a business owner are going to be fined or shut down because of that," he said. "People should and do have the right to their own convictions."
(AP)

This is what a liberal senator from Washington State thinks of your religious liberty!
“I haven’t seen a law this backwards and mean-spirited since before the civil rights victories of the 1960s,” said Sen, Jeanne Kohl-Welles in an email blast.
