Senate Moves to ENDA Religious Freedom
November 2, 2009 – Senate Democrats don't think they have created enough havoc so they have decided to hold a hearing on ENDA—S. 1584, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee
will hold a hearing this Thursday, Nov 5 at 10:00am.
will hold a hearing this Thursday, Nov 5 at 10:00am.
The Senate hearing is likely to be a rehash of what happened in the House on September 23 when House Democrats held a three-hour hearing on ENDA. The hearing was an orchestrated propaganda event promoting the gay lifestyle and Gender Identity Disorders.
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is a pro-gay, pro-transgender bill that will be a nightmare for business owners, religious broadcasters and other Christian entities.
ENDA is designed to get homosexuals, bisexuals, cross-dressers, and transsexuals added to the list of federally-protected minorities. If this is accomplished, the LGBT agenda will be imposed on businesses, local, state and federal governments, including public schools K-12, Christian day care centers and camps, plus religious broadcasters with more than 15 employees.
This legislation is based on the false premise that gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered individuals are victims of widespread and systematic discrimination in the workplace.
Marketing statistics from gay marketing companies indicate that the average income for a gay or lesbian is $80,000 a year. The U.S. Census notes that the median income in 2008 for blacks was $34,218; for Hispanics it was $37,913; for Asians it was $65,637. Median income for non-Hispanic white households was $55,530.
In addition, gay marketers say that gays and lesbians spend an estimated $45 to $65 billion a year on travel!
This doesn't sound like a group that is suffering from job discrimination.
ENDA will force businesses, schools, as well as Christian entities such as religious broadcasters, etc., to accommodate the sexual practices of cross-dressers, drag queens, transsexuals, and even she-males (individuals who undergo only a partial sex change operation). Will private Christian camps be forced to hire she-males? Under ENDA it is likely.
ENDA is proposing newly invented rights for individuals who engage in a variety of bizarre sex acts. ENDA pits constitutional rights of religious freedom and free speech against individuals who cross-dress or engage in dangerous sexual activities.
Openly gay Obama appointee John Berry who runs Office of Personnel Management, which is the federal government's personnel agency. He recently gave a speech at a LGBT conference and said that ENDA is the most important piece of legislation the LGBT movement can get passed.
If ENDA is enacted and signed into law, it is only a matter of time before all the rest happens- ACTION NEEDED IMMEDIATELY
It is vital that you do 3 things
Contact your two U.S. Senators and ask that they OPPOSE any version of ENDA that is considered!
Forward this to all your email lists. Only grassroots action can protect religious liberty. The Senators are busy. If they don't hear from us they won't think it is important.
And please send a donation to TVC to help with our many expenses in getting out these emails, researching this information in many places, and lobbying Senators and their staff.
ENDA, (S. 1584) includes coverage of "gender identity." The term "gender identity" is code for drag queens, transvestites, and transsexuals. The umbrella term "transgender" is used to describe these individuals. S. 1584 describes "gender identity" as "the gender-related identity, appearance or mannerisms, or other gender-related characteristics of an individual, with or without regard to the individual's designated sex at birth."
ENDA describes "sexual orientation" as homosexuality, bisexuality and heterosexuality, but also adds "gender identity" as a protected class. This is code for someone who thinks he's the opposite sex or likes to wear opposite sex clothing. It also includes she-males, individuals who undergo only half of a sex-change operation. They are male from the waist down and female from the waist up.
By making "gender identity" a federally-protected class under the law, this normalizes what are mental illnesses, known as a Gender Identity Disorder and/or Transvestic Fetishism. It elevates what a person "thinks" he is over what he actually is.
Congress should not be passing a law that affirms special minority protections for individuals who believe they are trapped in opposite sex bodies. This mental disorder is a treatable condition, not a fixed identity that must be accorded federally-protected class status.
Congress is equating this mental disorder to being equal to African-American or Hispanic under the law.
If ENDA passes, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 will be amended to include gays, lesbians, bisexuals, cross-dressers, and she-males under the law.
TAKE ACTION: Contact your two U.S. Senators and ask that they OPPOSE any version of ENDA that is considered! Read and distribute TVC's special report on ENDA!
