Obama signs first major federal gay rights law

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Wednesday signed the first major piece of federal gay rights legislation

Obama said. "No one in America should ever be afraid to walk down the street holding the hands of the person they love."

Legislation barring firms from firing employees on the basis of their sexual orientation could win passage in the House of Representatives by year's end, gay rights advocates said.

Obama has promised to push Congress to repeal the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy that prohibits being openly gay while serving.

Gay rights activists also hope for repeal next year of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which would give federal legitimacy to gay marriages recorded in states that allow them.

"It sends a number of messages across America: that hate will not be tolerated, that this Congress and administration value all Americans," said Joe Solmonese, the president of the Human Rights Campaign, the largest gay rights advocacy group.

Malcolm Lazin, the founder of another advocacy group, Equality Forum: "So it is a literally historic moment. This is America acknowledging homophobia as a social problem."

re: "hate will not be tolerated...homophobia as a social problem."

The floodgates are officially open. The rewritten definition of opposition to deviant sexual practices and radical homosexual proselytizers is now officially "hate" and/or "homophobia". Brave New World stuff all the way. This bill lays the foundation for all that will follow after, including ultimately silencing any opposition whatsoever by equating it to 'hate speech' and then criminalizing that.

Oh well, in the mean time, just for the record, homosexuality is still a sin.

And, it is very important to understand that those who practice homosexuality and/or transgenderism are not a special category as they would have us believe. They actually fall into a broader category of general sinners, i.e. rebels against the holiness and authority of God Almighty. They are not set apart for special treatment in the inerrant Word of God but are lumped in with other fornicators of every stripe, along with adulterers, thieves, drunkards, etc. This category is known as "the unrighteous". Thus saith the Lord God.

Defy him at your own peril.

'Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.' 1 Cor. 6:9-10
