…from Tony Perkins of the FRC:

FRCActNowStories of the homosexual lobby intimidating companies and individuals who stand up for man-woman marriage are becoming more and more common:

  • In Massachusetts, during a petition drive to get a state marriage amendment on the ballot, homosexual activists called people who signed the petition and threatened them with lawsuits or worse. (VoteOnMarriage.org)
  • Boston public school teachers were threatened with termination if they failed to portray so-called homosexual “marriage” in a positive light. (WorldNetDaily)
  • Michigan’s largest homosexual activist group says once marriage is legally redefined to include homosexual couples, business owners and even news media outlets that refuse to recognize such marriages should be jailed, or sued and “publicly slapped.” (Americans For Truth)

In California we are hearing similar stories, but now the intimidation tactics are being endorsed by one of the nation’s largest unions — the AFL-CIO. Homosexual advocates, with the powerful backing of national union leaders, are calling for a boycott of Bolthouse Farms, a California company that provides organic juices, lemonades, and smoothies to places like Whole Foods and other organic markets, simply because one of the minority owners donated money to the petition drive to put a marriage amendment on the ballot. (Union Voice)

This is another harbinger of how homosexual activists want Christians who oppose homosexual “marriage” to be treated — shut out of the public square with no recourse.

Please contact the national AFL-CIO to let it know such tactics are intolerable. As people of religious faith and moral conviction who believe that marriage is between one man and one woman — we will not be silenced.

    Can you please provide references for your stories of intimidation? Thank you.
    PS ( not the AFL-CIO, the other stories)

    What are you talking about, MG?

    MG, I just realized what you are asking for (sorry – I’m working a little slow this morning). This story is from the Family Research Council, but I did a quick Google search, and found links for futher reading to the stories mentioned in the petition drive, and have added them to this post. I hope that helps you with your research. Thanks for the question.

This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
