The new “Christians”

book1

There are those who oppose same sex marriage, and I know that there are those who are angry that courts are ruling that same sex couples should be allowed to marry because they are American citizens, and being a contract there are certain privileges that apply to married couples that are civil and not religious.

Many of these opponents are using religion as a way to strike back as Gay Americans are getting closer to having the same Constitutional rights as they have, the ones they should already have.

People in the name of religion are attempting to pass laws that would allow discrimination against Gays for religious reasons, and in places where sexual orientation and gender identity are included in nondiscrimination ordinances, Christians have worked to repeal them, or have proposed state wide laws that would prevent local municipalities from instituting them.

Conversion therapy, while being found to be injurious to children who are sent to unregulated doctors by parents for religious reasons, has found favor among the religious right as there have been bills proposed in states to support it and fire any public employee who might question it.

Many states and cities, based on total or even willful ignorance of the realities of Transgender people, are concerned about bathrooms in such a way that their proposed anti-Transgender laws actually force the conditions they claim they oppose. There have been no recorded cases of Transgender people using the gender-specific restrooms for the purpose of sexual predation of the opposite sex. Even Transgender people just need to pee sometimes.

Legislating that a person transitioning, or having transitioned Female to Male must use the ladies’ room is obviously not logical, nor is it informed.

The teen years are difficult. We all know that. Some kids have it rough enough finding themselves and adjusting to the adult body and psyche that has suddenly come from nowhere, and what they do not need is extra unnecessary problems.

Some teens have it so rough that they need counseling, and sadly, some, finding it is just too much, commit suicide because they do not get it.

What they do not need are state legislatures passing bills that treat them as objectionable and not worthy of the space they take up, who make their lives tougher by denying them the help they could use.

But, so far in 2015, most obviously as a reaction to favorable court decisions regarding same sex marriage, it seems the most important thing for Christians to do is propose so many anti-gay bills that are actually anti-fellow citizen bills, that you would think by the justifications given, being able to exercise discrimination, is the main tenet of the followers of Christ.

Fox News recently lamented that where Gay people are protected from discrimination,  Christians are under attack.

In Tennessee they are considering a bill that would allow counselors to discriminate against Gay students based on religious objections. The bill also allows the denial of counseling for pregnant teens for the same reason.

Oklahoma wanted to allow unregulated conversion therapy until a public outcry had legislators reconsider.

Springfield, Missouri, voted to repeal a city ordinance that had sexual orientation and gender identity in it. This was after Fayetteville, Arkansas, with the help of the very fecund Mrs. Duggar, did the same thing, with the state then legislating that no towns could pass nondiscrimination ordinances that included Gay people.

Indiana did its dance of discrimination whose Christian support was proven by the over 800,000 unnecessary dollars raised on GoFundMe for the pizza parlor owners because they had said they would not cater a Gay wedding. They were not closed down. Their fellow type of “Christian” just felt the need to make a statement, the very same type of statement they avoid making when it comes to donating to GoFundMe accounts opened for dying or very needy children and families

States are passing laws allowing first responders to withhold emergency services if the person they have to deal with belongs to a group that offends their religion, and some states have even proposed laws that hospitals can do the same thing.

It is obvious from the defender of such laws that the primary targets are Gay people.

And there is that petition in California making its way toward the ballot that would require the state to shoot Gay people in the head to eliminate them, with citizens automatically deputized to do it if the state objects to doing it.

And as you listen to the defenders of these laws, both proposed and enacted, they frame it as their not being allowed to discriminate is an attack on their religious freedom.

My Constitutional rights should not be abridged for the sake of someone’s choice of religious beliefs. Their religious freedom ends when it begins to impinge on my rights as a United States citizen.
