ENDA Spells Enda Freedom in Workplace

From Chuck Colson’s column at TownHall.com today:

Imagine you own a small business—let’s say a donut shop—and you have an employee who is late for work everyday and is rude to customers. When you fire him, he claims it is really because he is gay—and sues.

Or imagine you run a daycare center in your church basement. One day a homosexual applies for a job. When you turn him down, he says you broke the law.

Today, both of these stories are simply scenarios. But by the end of the week, they could be reality.

Under intense goading from the gay-rights lobby, the House of Representatives is poised to vote on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, called ENDA. This legislation would add “sexual orientation” to civil rights law. If passed, ENDA would cut deeply into the religious rights and freedoms of all Americans.

President Bush has indicated he will veto this bill, and hopefully he will carry through on that threat if it passes the House.

People should not be discriminated against because of the color of their skin. Cross-dressing and openly sodomizing others is not an inherent physical trait that deserves protection. Religious faith is the glue that holds a civilized society together, but some want that to take a back seat to protecting and promoting perversion.
