7 Reps Join Dems to Back 'Attack' On Liberty - Job Guarantees For Homosexuals 'Anti-Free Speech, Anti-Freedom of Religion, & Anti-Business'
Bob Unruh * WND
It took the support of a handful of Republicans in the U.S. Senate this week to move forward a bill that provides special job protections and guarantees for homosexuals and transgenders and, according to critics, makes churches and religious organizations vulnerable to anti-discrimination lawsuits.
And the Republican members who took that position, which is out of synch with the party’s rank and file, may have risked a backlash at the polls for a bill that likely won’t survive in the U.S. House
Republican House Speaker John Boehner already has said he doesn’t support the bill, which means it may not even get a vote in the House.
The seven Republicans who backed the Obama administration’s homosexual agenda are Susan Collins of Maine, Dean Heller of Nevada, Mark Kirk of Illinois, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Rob Portman of Ohio, Orrin Hatch of Utah and Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania.
Roll Call reported the only benefit the Republicans received from the Democratic Party leadership for their support of the bill was that their proposed amendments would get a vote.
Portman proposes an exemption for religious organizations from the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, so they won’t be vulnerable to lawsuits for refusing to hire someone who openly violates their beliefs and standards.
Toomey’s amendment would broaden exemptions for churches. But the report noted that it is not expected to be adopted.
Kirk explained his vote was on behalf of civil rights, crediting the tradition of Everett McKinley Dirksen and Abraham Lincoln, “men who gave us the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.”
