ENDA is a "one size fits all" solution to alleged discrimination that erases all marriage-based distinctions. It grants special rights to homosexuals while ignoring those of employers. The federal government should not force private businesses to abandon their moral principles.
FRC Action opposes this legislation on the following grounds:
- Such legislation affords special protection to a group that is not disadvantaged.
- The issue is not job discrimination.
- The first "religious exemption" clause is very narrow and offers no clear protection to church-related businesses.
- The second "religious exemption" clause fails to offer protection for all hiring by church-related organizations or businesses.
- It is unlikely that the "religious exemption" included in the bill would survive court challenge.
- ENDA would mandate the employment of homosexuals in inappropriate occupations.
- ENDA violates employers' and employees' Constitutional freedoms of religion, speech and association.
- ENDA would approvingly bring private behavior considered immoral by many into the public square.

Eric Holder’s Dance Party
Are you, like me, concerned the Justice Department, might be a little down because they don’t have enough to do? I mean they seemingly have all but given up on prosecuting pornography of any kind, they turn a blind eye to voter fraud and intimidation (at least when the perpetrators favor the Democratic Party), they’ve [...] (read more...)
“Free” Government Benefits, No Verification Needed
An e-mail (at the bottom after the jump) has been sent to government employees explaining the new same-sex benefits for homosexual “domestic partnerships” in regard to long term care, benefits traditionally reserved for marriage between one man and woman as implied in 1996’s Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA). While the potential violation of DOMA is [...] (read more...)
Dear Members of Congress and President Obama,
Please do not tarnish the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement by treating a person's chosen sexual behaviors or their gender self-identification as a protected category in the nation's civil rights laws. The choice to engage in homosexual conduct and the choice to adopt a "transgender" identity (sex change or cross-dressing) are not equivalent to the established (and immutable) protected categories of one's race and biological sex, nor are they protected by the Constitution (as is the freedom of religion, also a protected category).
I urge you to oppose the "Employment Non-Discrimination Act," known as "ENDA," and not to add "sexual orientation" or "gender identity" to America's civil rights laws.
