Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) now has a majority of Democrats (40) co-sponsoring ENDA, the mislabeled Employment Non-Discrimination Act, to actually punish Christian business owners, if they refuse cross-dressing men access to the ladies bathroom.

The bill is hailed by liberals as promoting equality, but they don’t want you to read the actual text of the legislation.  The bill will outlaw private Christian business owners, with full liablity to lawsuits if they:

(1) fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise discriminate against any individual with respect to the compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment of the individual, because of such individual’s actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity; or

(2) limit, segregate, or classify the employees or applicants for employment of the employer in any way that would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment or otherwise adversely affect the status of the individual as an employee, because of such individual’s actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.

The term “perceived gender identity” means if a confused man claims he feels like a woman, he must be allowed access to the ladies bathroom (at all public restaurants, shopping malls, and your office at work), or employers will be sued for “segregation.”

The key paragraph of Senate Bill 815, says this:

“(a) Dress or Grooming Standards – Nothing in this Act shall prohibit an employer from requiring an employee, during the employee’s hours at work, to adhere to reasonable dress or grooming standards not prohibited by other provisions of Federal, State, or local law, provided that the employer permits any employee who has undergone gender transition prior to the time of employment, and any employee who has notified the employer that the employee has undergone or is undergoing gender transition after the time of employment, to adhere to the same dress or grooming standards as apply for the gender to which the employee has transitioned or is transitioning.”

In other words, they don’t actually need a sex-change operation to sue you, they just need to claim someday they may desire a sex-change, and YOU must protect your male employee’s right to dress like a woman, and have full access to the women’s bathroom, or be sued. The religious exemptions in this bill do not protect for-profit Christian business owners, such as Bible publishers, Christian retail stores, or public restaurants.

This national bathroom bill, ENDA, S.815, also has a House of Reps version H.R. 1755 written by the openly Homose xual Congressman Jared Polis (D-CO) who assumed the mantle from the retired Barney Frank (D-MA), and has 168 co-sponsors.

We must take action, to stop these two bills, S. 815 and HR 1755, by petitioning Congress.

**Ladies, imagine you’re at a restaurant or shopping mall, with your little girl, and you walk into the bathroom, and are confronted by a man who “feels” like a woman that day.  Or business owners, just imagine getting sued by that man, and bankrupted, because you politely asked him to use the men’s room.  You’ll pay both your lawyer, and his.

What is ENDA, you ask? The end of women’s privacy in public bathrooms. This doomsday legislation, H.R. 1755, empowers homosexual complainers to bankrupt all Christian Business Owners, hurting the economy, if the business owner refuses cross-dressing men entry to the ladies room, even before the deviant gets any sex-change operation.

GOP Congressman John Kline (R-MN) warns us that ENDA creates an entirely new protected class that is vaguely defined and often subjective. “The legislation extends protections based on – quote – ‘perceived’ sexual orientation,” Kline said. “These vaguely defined terms would result in an explosion of litigation,” costing millions in lawyers fees, paid by Christian Business Owners to homosexual complainers.

Lesbian activist Patricia Nell Warren admitted this, during interviews with Bill Berkowitz:

BB: How do you react to charges from Religious Right leaders that ENDA will sanction cross-dressing in the work place?

PNW: In a sense, the charge is accurate. If ENDA is passed, employees should be allowed to dress in the manner that’s appropriate to their chosen gender identity, whatever that is. And they will do that if allowed by law.

BB: And when ENDA is passed?

PNW: If and when ENDA passes, having people with changed gender identity in the workplace — working side by side with them, and even using the same bathroom with them — is something that some people will just have to get over.  [She then compared those who don’t want co-ed bathrooms to racists.]

NEW Petition, Stop ENDA “bathroom bill” to Punish Christian Employers.  Select, sign, we will fax all 535 members of House and Senate (saving you time!) or pick free option here.

Friends, their version of tolerance now requires bankrupting Christian employers, or any public restaurant or retail store that refuses men full access to women’s bathrooms.  We must take action to stop ENDA from becoming law.
