[The Christian Post] 15 May 2007--A national effort to stop the U.S. Senate from passing legislations that many are saying may threaten the right of Christians to express their biblical view on homosexuality will take place on Tuesday.
Christians are urged to participate in National “Hate Crimes” Petition Day by protesting the contested bills with telephone calls, e-mails, and faxes to members of the U.S. Senate who are expected to vote on the bills by the end of this week....
Many Christian leaders have publicly criticized the bill, highlighting fears that the bill will encroach on freedom to express religious beliefs and be used to silence church pastors who preach on the sin of homosexuality.
“The Hate Crimes Act will be the first step to criminalize our rights as Christians to believe that some behaviors are sinful,” Dr. James C. Dobson, founder and chairman of Focus on the Family Action, said in a message for a petition to oppose the bill.
“Pastors preaching from Scripture on homosexuality could be threatened with persecution and prosecution,” he noted.
