In case you are wondering what the attitude of homosexual activists is toward laws that defend freedom of religion, observe what is happening in Indiana. Activists have been pressing for a boycott of Indiana after the state enacted a “religious freedom” law that prohibits the state from forcing people to provide services contrary to their religious convictions. Homosexual activists say the law discriminates against homosexuals. Proponents say it does not discriminate and is merely protecting religious freedom. Other U.S. states are considering similar bills.
Activists are calling on businesses and groups to boycott Indiana. The National Collegiate Athletic Association, for instance, said it was “especially concerned” about how the law would affect its employees and student athletes. Some conventions, such as the GenCon, a convention for gamers and gaming have threatened to hold their meeting elsewhere. Salesforce, a California firm cancelled all employee travel to Indiana.
And executives such as Jeremy Stoppelman of Yelp and Tim Cook of Apple urged states not to follow Indiana’s example. Stoppelman argued in an open letter that such laws could hurt the broader economy in states that adopt them and also victimize consumers.
Indianapolis Mayer, Greg Ballard warned that the law could make the state unwelcoming. And Hillary Clinton said in a twitter post, “Sad this new Indiana law can happen in America today. We shouldn’t discriminate against people because of who they love.”
Indiana Governor Mike Pence defended signing the law saying it would “help protect churches, Christian businesses and individuals from those who want to punish them because of their Biblical beliefs.” Pence said he doesn’t believe the law is discriminatory.
Homosexual activists know that providing religious freedom exemptions from non-discrimination laws would jeopardize and limit their ability to impose their agenda on America. Homosexual advocates do not respect your freedom of religion. They want to silence any voice of dissent or reproof, just as the men of Sodom wanted to silence Lot.
And Lot said, “I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly… And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.” Genesis 19: 7, 9
