Matt Barber, Policy Director for Cultural Issues with Concerned Women for America (CWA), warned, "This bill would force Christian, Jewish or Muslim business owners to hire people who openly choose to engage in homosexual or cross-dressing behaviors despite a sincerely held religious belief that those behaviors are dangerous, sinful and not in keeping with basic morality.  ENDA would essentially force employers to check their First Amendment protected rights to freedom of religion, speech and association at the workplace door.

Yawn, same ole same ole from the religious types who probably eat shell fish, wear blended fabrics, and work on the Sabbath. However, they are serious in their push so make sure to keep contacting your Congress Critters.

"This bill would unfairly extend special privileges based upon an individual's changeable sexual behaviors, rather than focusing on immutable, non-behavior characteristics such as skin color or gender.  Its passage would both overtly discriminate against and muzzle people of faith."

Wow.  I wish I would have known that this was a "changeable sexual behavior".  Perhaps if I actually would have had some sexual activity in my life, I may have had more fun.  Oh... and I wonder just how sexual promiscuity would have changed my female identity?

I sure am tempted to sling some names at them.
