 The Arizona Supreme Court issued a major ruling this week upholding the right of Christian artists to decline to use their talents to promote a same-sex 'wedding,' which the city of Phoenix said violated an anti-discrimination ordinance that makes it illegal to refuse services to same-sex couples based on religious beliefs.

In its ruling, the majority wrote, "beliefs about same-sex marriage may seem old-fashioned, or even offensive to some. But the guarantees of free speech and freedom of religion are not only for those who are deemed sufficiently enlightened, advanced, or progressive. They are for everyone.”

 While we commend the Arizona Supreme Court for their ruling in favor of artists Joanna Duka and Breanna Koski, who design custom wedding invitations, we take issue with the characterization of their beliefs as outdated and even offensive. Marriage as the union of a man and a woman has existed since the beginning of time and never goes out of date. It is universal, timeless and enlightened.

This victory in Arizona comes on the heels of a similar win in the US Supreme Court last year, which upheld the right of Christian baker Jack Phillips to decline to use his talents to create a custom wedding cake for a same-sex couple.

While we are gratified with what we hope will be a trend of court rulings across the country, this victory in Arizona and last year's win before the Supreme Court are squarely in the crosshairs of the misnamed Equality Act (HR 5/S 788) pending before the US Senate. You can call it the InEquality Act because of the one-sided way that it imposes the LGBT agenda. Among other things, the legislation would strip the religious liberty rights of Christian artists like Joanna, Breanna and Jack, and force them to personally participate in same-sex ceremonies against their will.

There are two things you can do to help us defeat the InEquality Act. Please act right away: Please sign our Petition to leaders of the US Senate demanding that the InEquality Act be defeated.

The victory in the Supreme Court for Jack Phillips last year was huge. This latest victory for marriage supporters in Arizona is tremendous. We anticipate winning the three cases we're participating in before the U.S. Supreme Court where LGBT activists are attempting to illegitimately redefine federal anti-discrimination laws to benefit themselves at the expense of people of faith.

But all these wins and the momentum we're experiencing could come crashing down if the US Senate passes the InEquality Act. We must do everything in our power to defeat it.

A Catholic school board in Ontario will vote next week on a motion to fly the rainbow-colored homosexual pride flag at all board-run schools during the month of June. Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) Trustee Brenda Agnew gave notice of her motion titled “supporting our diverse school community” during an April 6 board meeting. Quoting Pope Francis along with LGBT talking points about “equity and inclusion,” the motion calls for the Board’s Director of Education Pat Daly to “direct all HCDSB schools including the Catholic Education Centre to fly the Pride flag during the month of June starting with 2021.” The motion is expected to be voted on by the Board at their next meeting on April 20. With nine trustees, the motion requires five votes to pass. A tied vote results in a fail. The HCDSB states on its website that its mission is to provide “excellence in Catholic education by developing Christ-centred individuals enabled to transform society.” The Catholic Church, basing i...

Christian baker must make ‘wedding’ bakes for gay couples, court rules

DENVER, CO ,  – A Colorado board has ruled that a Christian business owner must make wedding cakes for homosexual "marriages" despite his religious objections. Business owner Jack Phillips came under legal fire in 2012, when he refused to bake a cake for Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig , who had traveled to Massachusetts for a marriage license, and wanted to celebrate in their home state. They sued on the basis of a state law that prevents the application of religious beliefs if one owns a business. The Commission's ruling, which was issued verbally on Friday, orders Phillips to report every three months for the next two years on anti-discrimination training for his staff, and any customers who are refused service at his establishment. "I can believe anything I want, but if I'm going to do business here, I'd ought to not discriminate against people," said one of the Civil Rights Commission 's seven members in a public statement.

Australia: Gay Hate tribunals are coming

Are Hate Tribunals Are Coming In Canada , it is considered discriminatory to say that marriage is between a man and a woman or that every child should know and be raised by his or her biological married parents.  It is not just politically incorrect in Canada to say so; you can be saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, fined, and forced to take sensitivity training. Anyone who is offended by something you have said or written can make a complaint to the Human Rights Commissions and Tribunals. In Canada, these organizations police speech, penalizing citizens for any expression deemed in opposition to particular sexual behaviors or protected groups identified under “sexual orientation.” It takes only one complaint against a person to be brought before the tribunal, costing the defendant tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The commissions have the power to enter private residences and remove all items pertinent to their investigations, checkin...
