Gay groups pull support for anti-discrimination bill over religious exemption

WASHINGTON — A 20-year effort to protect gays and lesbians from workplace discrimination is facing a major setback after a coalition of gay rights groups and civil liberties groups pulled their support because of an exemption for religious groups.

The American Civil Liberties Union and four gay rights groups said they can no longer support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in the Hobby Lobby case over contraception coverage, which allowed some businesses to claim a religious exemption in following federal law.

The bill passed the Senate with bipartisan support for the first time last November but faces an uphill battle in the Republican-controlled House. On Tuesday (July 8), the ACLU issued a statement pulling its support, also signed by Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, Lambda Legal, the National Center for Lesbian Rights and the Transgender Law Center.

Which pretty much proves that this whole thing has never really been about "Gay Rights" at all, but rather about denying traditional (especially Christian) values and morals right from the beginning.

Certainly so! Believers should discern the Satanic attack involved in this and other movements working in the world today. That has always been the agenda of the "mystery of iniquity", to oppose and bring into disrepute the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
