'Gay' leader to churches: Support homosexuality or be taxed
Bob Unruh
A “gay” activist contends churches that lobby to preserve the right of religious believers not to promote homosexual behavior should lose their tax-exempt status.
Jeran Artery of the homosexual-rights group Wyoming Equality made the
assertion on his Facebook page and deleted it a short time later, reported Jason DeWitt at Top Right News.
The issue arose recently because of the fierce opposition to Indiana’s adoption of a Religious Freedom Restoration Act that would allow groups to use their faith as a defense in claims of discrimination. But the opposition prompted lawmakers and the governor to “fix” the law and insert specific protections for “gays.”
This issue isn’t new, with such cases dating back a decade. However, they have been increasing in recent years.
The dispute is illustrated in Colorado, where a Christian baker, Jack Phillips, is defending himself in court for declining to bake a case for same-sex ceremony.
And the same time, Colorado’s Civil Rights Commission ruled that “cake artists” at Azucar Bakery, Gateaux and Le Bakery Sensual were perfectly justified in refusing to bake cakes that “violated their conscience.”
