Dale Schowengerdt: Silencing religious leaders

By Alliance Alert

ADF Attorney Dale Schowengerdt writing at speakupmovement.org/church: "The Left wants silence, not dialogue. That quickly became obvious to me as I sat as part of the team defending Prop 8 in California this past January. I was amazed at how often the plaintiffs? lawyers brought up the Roman Catholic and Southern Baptist statements on marriage and homosexual conduct. It was such an odd strategy in a trial about whether the definition of marriage is constitutional. But those statements (one of which was authored by Pope Benedict) became the example of 'invidious discrimination' that has no place in modern society. The Left reckons that if same-sex ?marriage? is the norm, religious views like these will be much easier to suppress."
