THE DRUMBEAT CONTINUES

The agenda to extend special rights to homosexuals and silence those who are opposed to it continues in a new House bill:
The House of Representatives has voted to urge a conference committee to add "sexual orientation, gender and disability" to federal hate-crimes law, a development some observers say would muzzle Christians who speak out against homosexuality.

On Sept. 28, the House voted 213-186 to pass a procedural motion encouraging a conference committee to include the hate-crimes legislation in the final version of the Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 4200)....

Christian activists believe that if passed and signed into law, the legislation could be used to target Americans who voice their opposition to the homosexual lifestyle – including pastors preaching and reading the Bible.

I have little doubt that is the long term goal here. It's already the case in Canada where broadcasting criticism of homosexuality is considered a hate-crime. This goes beyond a group seeking special rights for itself. There is the systematic attempt by that same group and its allies to silence and criminalize any criticism of itself and its immoral behavior.
