25 reasons to oppose Kennedy's hate crime amendment
Debbie Pelly, WPAAG: Sen. Kennedy's "hate crimes" plan – feared by Christian leaders as a way to censor biblical condemnations of homosexuality – has been proposed as an amendment to a defense spending bill , (probably to be voted on this week and maybe as early as tomorrow). Kennedy knows that Bush promised to veto the hate crime bill; and he knows Bush has to have the funding for the military. To hold our young men in battle hostage to a hate crimes bill that offers special privileges to homosexuals is indeed an outrage.
Lest you think the 25 reasons below are a stretch, note that A ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has concluded that municipal employers have the right to censor the words "natural family," "marriage" and "family values" because that is hate speech and could scare workers. And as the Wall Street Journal saidin their article decrying hate crime laws, "Like all restrictions on free speech, bans of "racist" or "homophobic" expression rests on a slippery slope. Some Christian denominations believe that homosexuality is a sin. Are their clerics to be silenced by law because this view is unacceptable.
