Activist: Pro-Homosexual 'Payback' Already Coming in Penn.

(AgapePress) - A Pennsylvania pro-family group is denouncing Senator-elect Bob Casey, Jr., for pledging to advance hate crimes legislation once he's in Washington.

One day after the election, Casey announced that one of his priorities in the Senate will be to secure passage of a federal hate crimes law that includes "sexual orientation" and "gender identity." In a press released issued on November 8, Casey acknowledged that the nation's largest homosexual lobby group -- the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) -- had been a "tremendous help" during his campaign, calling the group's energy and commitment "extraordinary." He then stated he was looking forward to working with the HRC staff to advance hate crimes legislation.

Diane Gramley, president of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania, believes the incoming senator -- who soundly defeated the Republican incumbent, pro-family and pro-life stalwart Rick Santorum -- is doing a favor for the HRC. "HRC gave him over $100,000 towards his campaign," she notes. "They endorsed him [and] they had a setup on their website where you could give directly to Bob Casey's campaign." Gramley says there is "no doubt that ... it's payback time -- and Bob Casey's paying HRC back by his support of such legislation."

According to Gramley, it did not take Casey long to "reveal his true colors" after running on a pro-life, pro-family platform.

"You know ... When [people] think of Bob Casey, they think of [former Pennsylvania Governor] Bob Casey, Sr., and too many people equate Bob Casey, Jr., with his dad," says the pro-family spokeswoman

"Bob Casey, Jr., ran on a pro-family, pro-life campaign throughout the campaign, and he's not," Gramley continues. "He's neither pro-life nor pro-family, and this statement that he made on Wednesday proves that even more so."

Gramley adds that she is glad Bob Casey, Sr., is not alive "to see the direction his son is headed."

I wonder if these new federal "hate crimes laws" will outlaw speaking the Truth? This won't be so much persecution of Christians, but the final nail in the coffin for the homosexual community. If the truth of the scriptures is outlawed, specifically the passages that refer to "a man lying with a man as an abomination", and that truth can no longer be told to them, then the message of salvation and repentance will not be heard among them.

1 Cor. 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,

The Word is clear. Unrepentant (practicing) homosexuals who die in their sin, GO TO HELL. They can go to church, they can call themselves a Christian...but if they are practicing homosexuals when they die--they will spend eternity in Hell.

What bothers me is they are saying Christians' hate homosexuals. We hate the sin not the sinner...

Amen, MusicMedic.

There is a difference but many of them do not see it that way.
