Homosexual Marriage now threatens religious liberty

Six months. That’s how long it took to get from the U.S. Supreme Court ’s decision striking down the Defense of Marriage Act to the decision of a Colorado judge ordering a Christian baker to make a cake for a same-sex ceremony. Just six months. Back in June, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in theWindsor case, ruling that the Defense of Marriage Act, passed overwhelmingly by both houses of Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996, was unconstitutional. Six months later, judge Robert N. Spencer, an administrative law judge in Colorado, ruled that Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Denver must serve same-sex couples by making wedding cakes, or face fines. Last Friday, Judge Spencer ruled that Phillips must “cease and desist from discriminating” against same-sex couples in his cake business. The case emerged after Phillips refused to make a cake to celebrate the civil union of David Mullins and Charlie Craig. Colorado has a constitutional amendmen

6-year-old ‘transgender’ boy must be allowed to use girls’ bathroom: Colorado officials

DENVER, CO , June 25, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – A Colorado governing body has ruled that a 6-year old boy, who his parents claims is ‘ transgender ,’ was discriminated against when officials at his elementary school prohibited him from using the girls ’ restroom . In 2011, when Coy Mathis started elementary school, his family and school agreed to treat Coy as a girl and let him use the girls’ restroom.  However, the school decided to ban Coy from his continued use of the girls’ facilities this past winter break.  The reason for the school’s change has not been made public. Parents of the six-year-old boy filed a complaint with The Colorado Division of Civil Rights in February. On June 18, the board’s director, Steven Chavez, issued his ruling, in which he said the school’s actions were reminiscent of the pre-civil rights movement segregation attitude of “separate but equal,” and thus Mathis’s rights had been violated.  Coy Mathis before his parents began dressing him

Rachelle Trujillo, vice president of communications with Girl Scouts of Colorado,  told CNSnews.com that any child who is “living life as a girl” is eligible for membership in the organization.

When the story became public, Girl Scouts of Colorado released a statement repudiating the troop leader’s actions. “Our requests for support of transgender kids have grown, and Girl Scouts of Colorado is working to best support these childr
