...Exodus International is on "the leading edge" of confronting anti-Christian cultural trends, and other Christian groups are beginning to follow, Davies said. "The persecution and hostility we are receiving now is beginning to happen to the church" at large, he said. "Looking five years ahead, I am starting to see where all this is headed. Christians are becoming the bad guys. Christians create the problems in the country, according to non-Christians."

Vatican Barrs Priest and Nun from Homosexual Ministry

July 22, 1999 - The Vatican has told Father Robert Nugent and Sister Jeannine Gramnick that they may not continue their ministry to gays and lesbians.

The Catholic Church states in its catechism that individuals, regardless of sexual orientation, deserved to be treated with respect, compassion and dignity. But the church also teaches homosexual acts are immoral, and the homosexual inclination is disordered.
It is this position Father Nugent and Sister Gramnick have been reluctant to teach. The two of them have traveled all over the country giving workshops, and have written extensively on homosexuality, including a book entitled Building Bridges: Gay and Lesbian Reality and the Catholic Church. But the two have consistently refused to condemn homosexual acts as immoral or say homosexuality is a disordered condition.

ACLJ secures free speech victory for Minnesota state employee who criticized Gay Pride Celebration

May 7, 1999 - In 1998 a Minnesota State employee was reprimanded and threatened with firing after he sent a series of e-mail messages to Department officials stating that he did not believe the homosexual lifestyle should be promoted by the Health Department with the celebration of "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Month" in June 1997.

Francis J. Manion, Senior Regional Counsel of the American center for Law and Justice - Midwest said: "This was a situation where a government agency was promoting and celebrating - at taxpayer's expense - lifestyles which violate the deeply held religious beliefs of Christians and other people of faith. When Eric Brown expressed his opinion and stated his religious beliefs to his employer, the Department basically told him to shut up or be fired. The action was unacceptable and we are pleased to be able to correct this wrong."

California Homosexual Agenda

MARCH, 1999 - Focus on the Family alerts California citizens:

The homosexual agenda is raging in the California legislature, but there is hope if concerned citizens do their part and get involved. Anti-family legislators have introduced bills to push homosexuality on all parts of society and penalize citizens who are morally opposed to homosexual behavior. Committee votes will begin in late March or early April on the following bills:

AB=Assembly Bill, SB=Senate Bill (Sponsor name in parenthesis)

AB 222 (Kuehl) and SB 1260 (Hayden): Promoting Homosexuality and Bisexuality to Schoolchildren

AB 222 would result in homosexual curriculum and promotion of homosexual “marriage” to students in K-12 public schools, public colleges and universities. Quotas for homosexual instructors would be indirectly pursued, and federal “hate crime” funds would be used to punish schools that resist the gay agenda. If AB 222 passes, religious schools who do not comply could be banned from interscholastic sports leagues, and students at religious colleges could be prohibited from receiving state financial aid.
A second bill, SB 1260, would require homosexual curriculum to be taught to schoolchildren as young as kindergarten, including mandated sessions on “homophobia.”

AB 1001 (Villaraigosa): Tax-funded Investigations and Fines Against Citizens Who Oppose Homosexuality AB 1001 awards official minority status for homosexuality and bisexuality, putting “sexual orientation” on the same level as race and ethnicity in the powerful Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). This could result in tax-funded investigations and $25,000 fines against property owners, business owners, Bible bookstores, religious radio stations, and even some churches that oppose homosexuality. Also, because this bill declares homosexuality or bisexuality to be an official “civil right,” if passed, children in public schools will be taught all about the homosexual political movement.

Homosexual Marriage “Partnership” Bills Four bills would create homosexual-marriage “partnerships” to award official government status and marriage benefits to homosexuals; AB 26 (Migden), AB 107 (Knox), SB 75 (Murray), and SB 118 (Hayden). These “domestic partners” bills would undermine the sacred institution of marriage and promote same-sex “marriage” (95% of “domestic partners” are homosexuals). If these bills pass, it will be more difficult to legally protect California from homosexual “marriage” and its accompanying negative consequences.
