The U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to review a case in which Christian employees in one California city were told they could not post fliers promoting traditional family values.
The Good News Employees Association (GNEA) was told by officials with the city of Oakland to remove a flyer promoting the "natural family, marriage, and family values." City officials said the statements were "homophobic" and promoted sexual orientation-based harassment.

"This is a very important case in the United States of America if we're to maintain a society where every individual and every group has the same equal protection and the same free-speech rights as everyone else," says Dacus. "Otherwise, we have something that is much more similar to a totalitarian state, where only one viewpoint and one perspective is allowed."
Dacus points out that city officials took no action against other employee groups that were allowed to post pro-homosexual flyers and announcements -- without consequence. "These same individuals are the ones silencing people with a different perspective," the attorney points out.
So Oakland believes that pro-family flyers are somehow logically "homophobic" (Really, where's the logic? Promoting one thing means one is "phobic" of another, necessarily? Come on!). Well, then, by their "logic", the pro-homosexual flyers they allowed to be posted by other employees are Christianophobic and promote religion-based harassment!
Of course, leftists will not understand...
It's clear that the discrimination and harassment isn't coming from the positive Christians who simply believe in the family and in family values, but rather from the sexual extremists who don't believe in family values, as well as from the politically-correct, Christianophobic City of Oakland.
Again, if we are to apply leftist "logic": If being pro-family-values is "homophobic", then being pro-homosexual is Christianophobic! Ergo, all homosexuals are to be suspected of being Christianophobic, just as the state apparatus obviously wants people to think that all Christians are "homophobic"... just because they're Christians. It's hurtful and shameful, the way the state apparatus treats some folks, isn't it?
