James Oberstar ( 202) 225-6211          Email If signed into law, ENDA would place "sexual orientation" into a category similar to race, gender and age and FORCE employers and even Christian businesses, Boy Scouts, universities, schools religious radio and television stations and daycares to violate their religious beliefs by hiring applicants whose behavior is considered sinful and bizarre. Don’t be fooled by proponents of the bill who claim it contains a “religious exemption.” Experts agree the exemption is a sham. Could a Christian bookstore be forced to hire outspoken homosexual employees?  If liberals have their way, yes.  ENDA would prohibit employers from making employment decisions – such as hiring, promotions and firing – based on an individual’s “actual or perceived sexual orientation.” ENDA gives special protection to a group that is not disadvantaged.  The issue is not job discrimination: It is whether private businesses and religious organizations will be forced by law to accommodate homosexual activists’ attempts to legitimize homosexual behavior.    Click Here to make a donation to the Minnesota Family Council / Minnesota Family Institute. ______________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from our alerts, please return this message with the word "unsubscribe" in the subject line.
