Truth About MS Religious Freedom Act
By Gina Miller

The hissy-fit hysteria from opponents of
Mississippi's new Religious Freedom Protection Act
is deeply disturbing. The lies and deception being
used to completely mischaracterize the law could
hardly be more outrageous, and while this is par for
the course with God-hating leftists, the shrill,
growing volume of deranged opposition tells me that
we are in bigger trouble in this nation than we can
imagine.
I have read the law. I know what it's about, and I
am certain many, if not most, of the people railing
against it have not even read it. To a man, every
opponent of this law is lying about its meaning.
Whether they're lying deliberately or are deceived
and simply repeating the lies being told about it,
the result is still the same: misinformation on a
grand scale.
This law restrains the Mississippi State government
and its officers. It does not "enshrine hatred" into
law, because anyone's opposition to counterfeit,
same-sex "marriage" and nonexistent "transgenderism"
is not based in hatred but in love of truth and
reality. It does not allow for anyone's freedoms or
civil rights to be denied – none. No one can point
to a single right or freedom being denied to
homosexual or "transgender" people – not one. Claims
to the contrary are lies.
It's certainly distressing to see the large
corporations and senseless celebrities and
politicians babbling their nonsense about a law that
only reiterates our fundamental, God-given rights of
conscience that are already protected by the First
Amendment to the United States Constitution. This is
another point of deep frustration we have with the
screeching and wailing of the law's opponents: this
law is nothing new, but because of the evil Left's
near-stranglehold on public perception and media
messaging, many people don't realize it.
This reiteration of our natural rights in
Mississippi's law is a response – a defensive
response – to the vicious, militant
homosexual/"transgender" movement's aggressive,
coordinated assault on Christians and Christian
business owners across the nation. For years now,
homosexual and "transgender" activists have been
targeting small businesses and individuals with
demands that violate common-sense decency and
rationality, demands that would directly conflict
with the knowledge and beliefs of the Christians
targeted. When Christians decline to violate their
consciences, the homo-activists have a waiting team
of lawyer vultures with the lawsuits ready to go.
This is not about a homosexual being denied generic
products or services, nor is this about denying
"single mothers baby shower services," because none
of that is happening. This is a response to the
nationwide proliferation of specific demands by
these activists that require participation in, and
affirmation of, same-sex "marriage." They also
specifically demand that businesses and other
private (and public) entities accommodate the insane
belief by a small group of deviants that they are
the opposite sex. Just a few short years ago,
neither of these things would be given a minute of
consideration in the public square, because not only
are these two things not real, but they're also dead
wrong.
There is no such thing as same-sex "marriage."
Marriage is one thing only, the union of a man and a
woman, and that's all it will ever be, no matter how
many evil-bad court opinions and laws are rendered
or passed to the contrary. Likewise, there is no
such thing as a "transgender" person. There are men
and women, and that's all there will ever be,
regardless of how deep the deception grows in our
nation and world. A man who believes he is a woman
is not a woman, but a man under strong delusion.
People who want nothing to do with either of these
things are not acting in "hatred." That's perhaps
the biggest of the lies being told by pushers of the
sexual anarchist movement. Possessing the wisdom to
know that there are unchanging and unchangeable
truths of right and wrong that apply to all people
equally, and embracing that knowledge, is not
"hatred." It's wisdom. It's discernment. It's proper
judgment, something the Bible calls us to engage in
always, all the ignorant misuses of the "judge not"
Scriptures notwithstanding.
Another of the big lies pushed by opponents of
Mississippi's law is that it's no different than
"Jim Crow" laws, that this is a "civil rights"
issue. That is a grotesquely sinister affront to the
genuine civil rights struggle that black people
engaged in. It's a detestable thing that these
deviants are operating as illegitimate parasites on
a worthy fight for equal recognition under the law
that black Americans won. Homosexuality and
"transgenderism" are perverse sexual behaviors,
based solely in rebellion against God's natural
order, and they're in no way related to the
immutable characteristic of ethnicity.
Further, while anyone is free to engage in these
perverse sexual behaviors, they are not a "civil
right," and any business owner who does not want to
open his intimate, sex-segregated facilities to men
pretending to be women has the right to say no to
that breathtaking lunacy. Any baker who does not
want to lend his work to creating a cake for a
warped ceremony that mocks God's design for human
sexuality and marriage is free to refuse to do so.
Those are some of the fundamental freedoms our
nation was forged on, and those are the freedoms the
new Mississippi law seeks to protect.
I know the sinister forces of darkness are hard at
work in our nation, unwittingly hastening the Day of
our Lord's return (though the time of that Day is
firmly set from before the foundation of the world).
The Bible makes it clear that iniquity will abound
more and more as we move through the last days, and
I believe that statement doesn't fully convey the
unspeakably horrible reality of what that will mean
for our nation and world. And while these militant
homosexual/"transgender" activists and their
apologists have set themselves as our earthly
enemies, they're only pawns of a higher dark power,
our true enemy, Satan, who already stands defeated.
As Christians, we must not lose sight of the hope we
have in Jesus, never ceasing to watch and pray,
because God's will is going to be done, and in the
end, we win. Please pray for me, and pray for the
leaders of the State of Mississippi, that they will
stand strong in the face of the flood of lies and
wickedness that will continue to descend on them
from the deceived and deluded evildoers who have
hated the truth and loved darkness.
Many shall be purified, and made white, and
tried, but the wicked shall do wickedly, and none of
the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall
understand. -Daniel 12:10
