California Homosexual Agenda
(This information is copied from a Focus on the Family mailer. I just found this. Its a bit late. But better late than never.)
The homosexual agenda is raging in the California legislature, but there is hope if concerned citizens do their part and get involved. Anti-family legislators have introduced bills to push homosexuality on all parts of society and penalize citizens who are morally opposed to homosexual behavior. Committee votes will begin in late March or early April on the following bills: AB=Assembly Bill SB=Senate Bill (Sponsor name in parenthesis)
AB 222
(Kuehl) and SB
1260 (Hayden): Promoting Homosexuality and Bisexuality
to Schoolchildren.
AB 222
would result in homosexual curriculum and promotion of homosexual "marriage"
to students in K-12 public schools, public colleges and universities.
Quotas for homosexual instructors would be indirectly pursued, and federal
"hate crime" funds would be used to punish schools that resist the gay agenda.
If AB 222
passes, religious schools who do not comply could be banned from interscholastic
sports leagues, and students at religious colleges could be prohibited from
receiving state financial aid. A second bill, SB1260, would require
homosexual curriculum to be taught to schoolchildren as young as kindergarten,
including mandated sessions on "homophobia."
AB 1001
(Villaraigosa): Tax-funded Investigations and Fines Against Citizens
Who Oppose Homosexuality
AB 1001 awards official minority status for homosexuality
and bisexuality, putting "sexual orientation" on the same level as race
and ethnicity in the powerful Faith Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).
This could result in tax-funded investigations and $25,000 fines against
property owners, business owners, Bible bookstores, religious radio stations,
and even some churches that oppose homosexuality. Also, because
this bill declares homosexuality or bisexuality to be an official "civil
right," if passed, children in public schools will be taught all about the
homosexual political movement.
Homosexual Marriage "Partnership" Bills
Four bills would create homosexual-marriage
"partnerships" to award official government status and marriage benefits
to homosexuals;
AB 26 (Migden),
AB 107 (Knox),
SB 75 (Murry), and
SB 118 (Hayden).
These "domestic partners" bills would undermine the sacred institution
of marriage and promote same-sex "marriage" (95% of "domestic partners"
are homosexuals). If these bills pass, it will be more difficult to
legally protect California from homosexual "marriage" and its accompanying
negative consequences.
Action Steps
Step 1
Contact your own assembly member and state senator to urge
them to "Oppose
AB 1001,
AB 222,
and the rest of the gay agenda bills."
Phone, fax, e-mail, make personal visits, or write your
assembly member, being sure to use his or her full name at:
State Capitol, Sacramento, CA 95814
Go to the front of your phone book, look under
the "Government" pages under Assembly and State Senate, or go to the Internet
at www.capitolresource.org
where you can find your state legislators by entering your zip code.
Step 2
The legislators who are critically important to the outcome
on these issues are listed below. Please contact these key
legislators, in addition to your own assembly member, and urge them to "Protect
schoolchildren and citizens from government-sponsored homosexuality.
Oppose AB 1001,
AB 222,
