    Court: Magistrates excused from performing same-sex ceremonies
    For 3rd time, judges strike 'gay' demands

    Is the ground underneath the “gay” agenda in America beginning to crumble?

    For the third time in just weeks, a court has ruled against the claim that the rights of homosexuals trump the Constitution’s protections of religious rights.

    That has been the basis for most of the legal gains for the homosexual-rights agenda in recent years. Bakers, photographers, venue operators and other have been punished because they chose to be faithful to their religious beliefs.

    The most recent ruling comes from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which said magistrates in North Carolina can excuse themselves from performing same-sex “marriages.”

    Earlier, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Mississippi law that protects the religious freedom of those who believe marriage is the union of one man and one woman, and that gender is determined at birth.

    It not only reversed an injunction imposed by a lower court – preventing the implementation of the Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act – it went further and simply dismissed the case.

    “Outlasting the Gay Revolution” spells out eight principles to help Americans who hold conservative moral values counter attacks on freedoms of religion, speech and conscience by homosexual activists

    And just before that, WND reported, a state appeals in Kentucky ruled a T-shirt maker was required to treat all customers the same but was exempt from demands he promote homosexuality.

    Just days ago, the U.S. Supreme Court said it would decide whether a baker has a right to refuse to use his artistry to promote homosexuality, a ruling that likely will come in the fall.
