This is what people on this side of the Atlantic fear from the Gay Rights Movement<\/a>. \u00a0A Catholic adoption agency in\u00a0Scotland\u00a0has been told it\u2019s time to get with the times, or hit the road. With the exception of the HHS mandate, it\u2019s been homosexuality, not abortion, that has become the one issue that threatens to overturn the apple cart when it comes to traditional understanding of religious freedom and religious\u00a0liberty\u00a0 \u00a0Up until a few years back, you assumed that religious liberty meant the government could not force a religious tradition to change its deeply held\u00a0beliefs\u00a0 <\/p>\nAnd in America, that is still the case. But in other parts of the hip, enlightened post-Christian West, that is not the case. \u00a0I know, they don\u2019t have such things as a 1st or 2nd or 8th Amendment enshrined in their\u00a0Constitution\u00a0the way the United States does. \u00a0But, the fact is, it\u2019s a trend. \u00a0And given the growing tendency here at home for\u00a0people\u00a0to start questioning when it\u2019s a good thing to ditch some of this freedom garbage, it doesn\u2019t bode well for the future. \u00a0Especially when those who resist gay marriage are, like everything else non-liberal, more likely to fight each other and disagree on what any of it means, than to come together and join the common cause. \u00a0I fear our brethren and sistren overseas are realizing this too late. \u00a0I wonder if we Yankees will learn in time.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
