Urgent Action Alert - Call Members of the House Committee to Stop H.B. 369 LGBTQ Special Rights Bill
Radical homosexuals are pushing an LGBTQ special rights bill at the Ohio House Civil Justice Committee, chaired by Rep. Steve Hambley of Medina (District 69). The legislation is scheduled for its second hearing on Tuesday, February 4th, a proponent testimony hearing.
OCA President Chris Long stated, "It is urgent for people of faith across the State of Ohio to make calls, send emails and letters to their state representatives, expressing their concern over this radical special-rights bill. After speaking with members of the clergy across the state, the concern is real. This legislation appears to be on a fast track for passage, and it is urgent that people of faith flood the phone lines at the Ohio Statehouse. We would like to thank Mission America and Ohio Value Voters for joining us in opposing this legislation. This legislative push is about to awaken a sleeping giant in our state."
What's wrong with this bill? -
· The language is ambiguous and nondescript.
· It provides for special rights, not equal rights.
· It presents a real threat to religious liberty for churches, synagogues, and houses of worship statewide.
· If the bill were to become law, church treasuries would be drained from legal battles for years to come.
· It violates the privacy rights of women and children by allowing members of the opposite sex to use bathrooms, locker rooms, showers, and athletic programs of their perceived sexual orientation.
Your privacy and religious liberty rights are about to be violated unless you act today!
