Can You Rightly Divide the Word When US Law Says You Can't?

Today I heard news that says the US House has passed a bill under the "hate crime" banner that forbids any--ANY--negative comment, or that which is construed to be negative by the "targeted one", even if it is read from the Bible, having to do with any form of alternate sexual proference lifestyle.

It will set up a special group of people who are elevated above the rest of society in a protected arena, making them and others unequal under the law. I thought the Constitution provided EQUAL protection under the law.

If God has labeled some activity as sinful, or an abomination in His eyes, having recorded that position many centuries ago, how is it that this body of lawmakers can refute that reality? Of course, I just read that Mr. Obama's appointment to head up the government's faith-based commission agency has singularly declared that the Bible's stated position on the so-called alternate lifestyles is not true. That is the affirmed mindset of this administration, it is clear.

What does God have to say about that position? Well, who is the ultimate judge of all mankind? Go figure.
Abraham tried hard to get God to change His mind about Sodom (Genesis 18), but it did not work. Declaring something untrue does not make it so, if in fact it is true. Jesus said this: "Wisdom will be justified by her children." Also stated from another angle: "You shall know them by their fruit."

Truly there is not very much time left. Jesus said, "When you see these things begin to happen, look up, for your redemption draws near."
