Yes, Homosexual Movement is After Your God-Given Rights

We have repeatedly
warned you that the radical homosexual
movement's goal is nothing less than the
obliteration of the rights of those who oppose
it. Homosexual activists parrot their lying talking
points, constantly denying that this is the case. I
can't tell you how many countless times these people
have screeched and wailed at me in comments sections
of my columns that homosexual "rights" will never
affect Christians or any others who oppose them.
This is a damnable lie. Homosexual "rights" and the
free exercise of religion cannot coexist. They are
mutually exclusive, and one must give way to the
other.
We have yet another proof of this in Massachusetts,
a state in which the militant homosexual movement is
on a vicious, seemingly inexorable march. On Friday,
MassResistance reported on the story of a homosexual
activist going through legal channels to force a
Catholic school to hire him, despite the fact that
he is "married" to another man.
From the
MassResistance report:
Back in July, Matthew Barrett of Dorchester
applied for a job as the food service director at
Fontbonne Academy, a Roman Catholic girls' high
school in Milton, Mass., and was subsequently
offered the job. When he filled out a pre-employment
form listing his "husband" as an emergency contact
the school told him that "the Catholic religion
doesn't recognize same-sex marriage. We cannot hire
you."
Barrett claimed to be shocked by the school's
action. But it appears that he was purposefully
dishonest. He told the
Boston Globe that he was raised a Catholic and
that he was informed by school officials during the
interview process that employees are expected to
follow Catholic doctrine. However, he did not
tell the school that he was openly involved with
homosexual behavior and was in a "gay marriage."
Those, of course, are serious violations of Catholic
teaching.
We have seen this over and over: homosexual
activists targeting Christian and Catholic
businesses and organizations for the sole purpose of
bringing legal action against the leaders when they
predictably refuse to acquiesce to the homosexuals'
demands. And, of course, the homosexuals lie about
their agenda and intentions, just as this man
apparently did.
Having told the Boston Globe that he was raised
Catholic, he knows darned well what Catholicism
teaches about homosexuality. He also admitted that
the school advised him that he must adhere to
Catholic doctrine, which he claims he thought meant
only "participating in prayers." Yeah, sure. It's a
stretch to believe he was not lying when he says he
was "surprised" that the job offer was withdrawn. It
is much easier to see this as a clear-cut case of
homosexual activism targeting the business practices
of a private Catholic school.
As usual, the people who are representing Barrett,
Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders (GLAD), are
using the anti-discrimination laws of Massachusetts
to make their claims against this school. The state
includes "sexual orientation" in its list of
specially protected people. Anti-discrimination laws
based on "sexual orientation" are part of the
homosexual movement's camel's nose under the tent in
going after Christian and other religious
organizations to force them to bow at the altar of
homosexuality. In this case, Barrett's defenders
claim that because this potential job was not
religious in nature, then freedom of religion is not
an issue. Bunk! The entire organization is based on
the Catholic beliefs of the people who own it, and
they have every right to conduct their business in
accordance with their beliefs.
We must not underestimate the determination of these
people to force their will on the United States.
Their serial lies claiming that their "rights"
(which are a fallacy, since they possess the same
rights as other Americans) will not interfere with
the rights of others could not be further from the
truth. Christians, Catholics and others who hold
right moral objections to the mainstreaming of
homosexuality will not be able to live their lives
or run their businesses in line with the knowledge
that homosexuality is a sinful, dangerous behavior.
None of us will be safe from the devilish goals of
the radical homosexual agenda if it's not stopped.
Our kids are not safe from pro-homosexual
indoctrination in the public schools, not to mention
the media and "entertainment" industry. Our
preachers and pastors will ultimately not be safe
even inside their churches. Countries like Canada,
Sweden, those in the UK and others already have
prohibitions against "hate speech" which have been
used to persecute and prosecute preachers who
present the Biblical truth about the sin of
homosexuality in their churches. Do not imagine that
the homosexual radicals will stop until they get all
opposition to homosexual behavior outlawed here in
America.
I understand that the strongly pro-homosexual
climate that has been cultivated by leftists in the
Obama administration, the media, Hollywood, colleges
and other major institutions can intimidate people,
making them afraid to express forceful, meaningful
opposition to this freedom-robbing movement. But, we
must be vigilant in speaking against it and working
on our elected officials to beat back
pro-homosexual, anti-marriage legislation. Nothing
less than our fundamental freedoms are at stake if
we fail to resist this dark movement.
Finally, from the
MassResistance report:
We don't think that GLAD would publicize this
case so dramatically if they didn't think they could
win it. They certainly have huge ties to the
Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination. In
addition, we expect that GLAD will put the full
force of its legal team, and possibly even recruit
free help from lawyers from gay-friendly downtown
Boston firms to ultimately force Fontbonne Academy
to hire Matt Barrett.
The homosexual movement knows that if it is
successful in this case, it will set a precedent for
Massachusetts and send a strong message to every
other conservative religious institution in the
state. But worse, it will surely become a template
for similar action across the country in states
where "gay marriage" exists, despite "religious
freedom" clauses that may exist in their laws.
Our side must fight back hard!
This needs to be taken seriously by our side and
fought hard! It is madness, and should not have any
legal leg to stand on. But as we've said over and
over in the past, much of the mess we're in now is
the result of mushy, fear-based legal defenses by
pro-family lawyers in important cases. We are
praying that Fontbonne gets the necessary kind of
legal firepower to stop this.
As states across the country are confronting the
issue of "gay marriage" being forced on them by
activist judges and corrupt politicians, many
"conservatives" have been backing off and saying
that this won't affect them. This shows that
they'd better think again.
And to those pro-family people who simply say that
the "gay marriage" fight is about "every child needs
a father and a mother" or "we're not against
anyone; we're just pro-marriage" or similar
politically-correct platitudes – you need to come
out of your fantasy world.
We will keep an eye on this case. Stay tuned.
