By Heather Sells CBN News Reporter Sunday, April 25, 2010 VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- Gay rights advocates often claim that gay Americans are denied employment, fired from their jobs, or otherwise discriminated against just because they are gay. In response, advocacy groups have been pushing for a federal law to protect lesbian, gay, bi-sexual or transgendered individuals from employment discrimination. But some wonder if such a law could endanger the religious freedom Americans have enjoyed since this country was founded. Currently, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act or ENDA forbids employers from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Now, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote soon on a bill that would create special protections for gays. For more on the impact ENDA could have, click play for comments from Regent University law professor Bradley Jacobs, following Heather Sells' report. Many Christians fear this protection will come at the expense of their freedom and what it could mean for businesses and public schools.

If a church refuses to hire a gay applicant they may be sued. Free speech is heading out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
