Christian conservative groups like Focus on the Family Action, the political arm of Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs, and the Alliance Defense Fund are gearing up to combat two political maneuvers affecting gays and lesbians in America.
1. Employment Non-Discrimination Act, introduced by Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.). This would make it illegal for an employer to discriminate against someone because of their sexual preference.
2. A repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which declares that the definition of marriage is between a man and a woman.
Also, these folks don’t much like President Barack Obama’s recognition of gays, lesbians and transgenders.
“(Obama) declared June to be ‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month,’” Focus federal policy analyst Ashley Horne said in a news release, “and then proceeded to extend federal employee benefits to homosexual couples. It’s no wonder that anti-family lawmakers and activists are chomping at the bit to get their so-called gay-rights bills … to the president’s desk.”
Do you think there’s too much talk about creating an anti-discrimination law for gays, lesbians and transgenders?
