Liberal Washington State nixes radical LGBT sex ed bill after massive parental outrage

Image
Washington State MassResistance activists helped mobilize groups around the state and worked strategically to successfully  stop a hideous Planned Parenthood–backed "comprehensive sex-ed" bill from becoming law  — despite its broad support in the Legislature. Many people are unaware that Washington State has become a far-left state, on a par with California and New York. Following last year's November elections, left-wing Democrats solidified their power in the state capital, Olympia. Like other states that have gotten "bluer," the government is now pushing abusive, anti-family policies at a rapid pace. This includes the items on the LGBT and Planned Parenthood checklist for the public schools. Their major bill,  SB 5395 , was a "comprehensive sex-ed bill." It was lobbied heavily by both Planned Parenthood — a major donor to Democrat politicians — and the LGBT lobby. The bill included the following: It would require all public schools in th

US Supreme Court sends back case against Christian florist sued for rejecting gay ‘wedding’

Image
The United States Supreme Court announced Monday it was ordering the Washington Supreme Court to reconsider its judgment that a Christian florist must provide flowers for a same-sex “wedding” ceremony. The case stems from Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s lawsuit against Barronelle Stutzman, the proprietor of Arlene’s Flowers in Richland, Washington, for refusing to provide flowers for a customer’s same-sex "wedding" ceremony. Stutzman had previously served the customer’s every other request for years, and has employed homosexual workers, but her Christian faith compelled her to draw a distinction between serving all individuals and lending her artistic endorsement to celebrations of homosexuality. The Washington Supreme Court ruled last year that the government may force Christians to serve same-sex “weddings,” and in July 2017, the conservative Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the case. On Monday, the high court vaca

Polls: Homosexual Marriage support is dropping

Image
As you know, our opponents in Washington State have had a monopoly on the airwaves for months, trying to mislead voters into supporting same-sex marriage. A little over a week ago we began airing our ads (see them here ), informing voters about the real consequences of redefining marriage and explaining why they should Reject Referendum-74 ( gay marriage ). Yesterday a new Elway poll showed gay marriage has dropped in Washington State from a 14 point lead a few months ago to a 4 point race today (49%-45%), within the margin of error ...meaning the race is a statistical tie! This is amazing news and it shows that our ads and message are working! Even more amazing, the Elway poll wrote: "Opposition to Referendum 74 has grown over the past month while support has stayed at virtually the same level since July." Did you catch that? Support for same-sex marriage has flat-lined at just under the critical 50% threshold despite their massive spending and advertising advantage for

Washington governor signs gay ‘marriage’ bill without religious protections

February 13, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Gov. Christine Gregoire of Washington State has signed into law a gay “marriage” bill that will force church-owned facilities to accommodate homosexual ceremonies. Gregoire, a lame-duck Democrat governor who proposed the bill earlier this year, celebrated the end of defining marriage as between a man and a woman as she signed the bill on Monday. Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire “I’m proud our same-sex couples will no longer be treated as separate but equal,” she said. The bill makes Washington the sixth U.S. state to redefine marriage, in addition to the District of Columbia . Local religious leaders have been particularly alarmed about the bill because it will force facilities owned by churches that are regularly used for marriages to be offered to homosexual couples. The  bill text  states that religious organizations that provide “accommodations, facilities, advantages, privileges, services, or goods related to the solemnizat
