I am so outraged by this I don't even know where to begin. Let them try to enforce this with churches. I think the "homosexual agenda" people should prepare for a very strong backlash against them. "And the lamb shall lie down with the lion" but not just yet.
My sis is in Nashville..a bit different than where she moved from..new orleans. Not as corrupt politically, less rain, and crowded as hell. Most BIG cities like it are breeding centers for socialism though, but i dont think you have to worry about gun confiscation there. No complaints from her end at least.
Right...the courts. Don't hold your breath.
It's traditional for Americans to seek freedom over the next mountain and around the next bend. If the spirit moves you, I say go for it. My wife and I got out of California this summer and are glad we did.
It is easy to imagine that the state will bring criminal charges against chruches that refuse to have gay "marriages." The possibilities from there are limitless. What if an Islamo-fascist is offended by the doctrine of the Trinity? Will the state officials next forbid that the doctrine of the Trinity be taught in churches because it "discriminates" against other views about God? Will the teaching of Hebrew be banned in synagogues be banned because it "discriminates" against Arabic? Will the state demand that there be a certain number of lesbian priests? Now we are being told that the First Amendment does not apply to religious or political views and only politically-favored groups should enjoy freedom of speech and association. These are criminals and tyrants who have taken their lessons from Hitler. It is no wonder that they are also trying to confiscate firearms.
Something is wrong when Americans have to leave certain states because of a fear of religious or political persecution. If President Bush wants to expand freedom, he should look closer to home and consider what is happening in Illinois.
Nashville is very blue. Knoxville would be better.
And Scottsdale is even better! **shameless plug**
There won't be any riots and violence. Was there any in Sweden? in Canada? in California (the faux-Republican Schwarzenegger signed a similar measure into law there this past fall)? No. Step by step, the left takes over. They've been working relentlessly for decades to achieve this end. They control most of the wealth in this nation, and the money they've spent on marketing the religion of 'tolerance' has done its work. Even many of the people of this forum hold to liberal principles in one way or another.
Barack Obama, a man who can best be described as a monster (he opposed outlawing the killing of infants who survive an abortion by sme miracle), was elected to the US Senate with 70 percent of the vote. The state is run by criminals who are voted in year after year by a stupid, doped-up, indoctrinated electorate - proof that democracy is useless in the hands of fools. The so-called opposition party is as hoplessly corrupt as the Dhimmicrats are. The party chief, a despicable corrupt RINO named Judy Barr Toopinka, marched in Chicago's Gay Pride parade. Illinois is going to become another Massachusetts - a place where you an vote for any candidate you wish as long as they are liberals.
Were running out of mountains and bends which to tuck tail and run to. It's time to make a stand.
I just found this on the net looking for Anita Bryant information. My mother stood up for Anita a long time ago when I was a kid. Anita's career was crushed by the media and big business let her go.
Were all being attacked by the homosexual agenda one way or another.

Here's one more:
>"What we're doing today is older than scripture: Love thy
>neighbor,"
Too bad such logic is not applied to, "Thou shalt not steal."
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Matthew 19:4-6
Lived in and around Nashville for 15 years. (Since college). Great place to raise a family, really friendly. Big enough to do "city" things (football, hockey) but still has a small town feel. Best of all. NO INCOME TAX!
If the cities must burn to restore our Republic to what it was once and was meant to be, so be it.
so basically, the governor is just saying that his religion is better than anybody else's and that's that....
freedom of religion...as long as its mine......
I'll tell you why. Because 85% of the population of southern illinios is made up of lawyers. In Illinios it is LEGAL for lawyers to contribute to the re-election campaigns of sitting judges, even judges who preside over their cases.
In East St. Louis, Democrats openly pay five dollars for every vote. We've tried to stop this, but the courts are literally owned by Democrats.
In Belleville, it has become some communistic that they created the "Good Government Party". One of their new "innovations" is to hold inspections for each property in the city and if someone needs to have repairs, they must use one of the city's contractors or face fines. They've taken cronism to a new high.
I've lived here most of my life (except college in Champaign). I've seen conservatives work themselves to death just to get an even shake. It will not happen.
Now you have the Chicago Daley Machine poster boy in office and he's importing drugs from Canada with no regard for what it does to our local businesses, no problem with undermining the American economy. Then, he's calling the desire to have gay sex a civil right.
If we've come to the point where our desires must be catered to, then I'll expect my carton of cigarettes in the mail each week. Oh, Blagoyebit$h also is adding to gun restrictions, having his aids take his kids to school, etc. And our local congressman has had three members of his family hired for 50K+ positions while the state was in a hiring freeze.
Sorry for the rant, but I'm fired up and I could go on forever.
