Teachers, pastors facing 'criminalization of homophobia'

Christians will face prison for speaking out against homosexuality if the Senate passes a bill approved unanimously by the House of Representatives.
The measure is considered the country's newest attempt to promote homosexuality, disguised as an act to combat discrimination, the Catholic News Agency reports.
If anyone prevents actions of "homosexual affection in public or private locations open to the public, they could face up to five years in prison for doing so, the Association of the Defense of Life reports.
The bill also seeks to penalize private and public school administrators with up to three years in prison if they refuse to hire openly "gay" teachers.
According to the CNA, the measure will force prison time for any "moral, ethical, philosophical, or psychological expression that questions homosexual practices."
The ADL claims the bill could spell disaster for churches and teachers.
"[A] priest, a pastor, a teacher or even an average citizen who says in a sermon, a classroom, or public conversation that homosexual acts are sinful, disordered or an illness could be denounced and detained," the association said.
No, this is not in America, not yet anyway. This is now happening in the country of Brazil. A few months ago, the president of Brazil said "opposing" homosexuality makes you a sick person, and he believes such thoughts need to be criminalized. This should remind you of somthing. The thought police maybe...
Brazilian chief Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who won a narrow re-election following a cash-for-votes scandals, held the First National Conference of Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals to condemn the biblical belief that homosexuality is wrong.
Lula da Silva, on June 5, not only officially opened the event to promote homosexuality across his nation but also issued a presidential sanction for the conference.
Calling for "the criminalization of homophobia," he said opposition to homosexuality is "perhaps the most perverse disease impregnated in the human head."
He said "prejudiced" people need to "open their minds and clean them.” Other speakers encouraged homosexuals to claim to be part of a civil rights campaign that already has brought reforms for treatment of blacks, the elderly, and the disabled. They also announced the nation's public hospitals soon would begin to perform sex changes on people.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Can’t happen in America? Yes it can. If it can happen anywhere it can happen here. Especially if we sit like potatoes in our lap of luxury thinking nothing bad can touch us, after all we have freedom of speech and live in a free country don’t we? I have a question for you. What makes you think so?
The truth be known, we lost our freedom a long time ago. The first time a law was past regulating just one of our rights. That was the day our rights became privileges, regulated by a dictatorial government and we did nothing. If we allow evil to gain just a toe in the door we may as well just open the door wide and allow the government into our homes, and every aspect of our lives. If we don’t stop the destruction of our culture at the first sign of encroachment or infringement, then we have given up all of our rights and freedoms.
A democracy is a government by the few because the many do nothing. This is why democracy is the last type of government the framers of our constitution wanted, they shuddered at the thought. So they created a Constitutional Republic which we allowed to be destroyed already back in May of 1913 with the passing of the 17th Amendment which created a true democracy in America making it easy for the few to run the country. That coupled with the 16th Amendment making our government grow from something the people could manage to the largest most powerful government in the world.
That was the big toe in the door. All the rest are little toes, and they have been walking through the door ever since.
Think about it…
