Tomorrow morning before the Assembly Judiciary Committee, Assemblyman Evan Low plans to argue for a resolution that tells religious leaders in California what they should preach from their pulpits. Assembly Concurrent Resolution 99 calls on “counselors, pastors, religious workers, educators” and institutions with “great moral influence” to stop perpetuating the idea that something is wrong with LGBT identities or sexual behavior. ACR 99 also condemns attempts to change unwanted same-sex attraction or gender confusion as “unethical,” “harmful,” and leading to high rates of suicide.

I wonder if this legislation is restricted to Christian clergy only, or if it will be extended to Muslim imams teaching in mosques?

Because if they intend on dictating what type of morals the Muslims can teach to their followers, I wish them lots of luck.

This would be voided in federal courts, as it conflicts with the 1st Amendment.

I have long said for years that if not for the healthy conservative pro-life movement in this country we would have a form of forced abortion (like they attempted in the UK but was thankfully stopped) and Christians would not be able to preach freely from our pulpits.
The secular progressive left wants to stamp out religious expression.

I'm telling you, there are certain sectors in society that seem to be imitating China.

I think there are certain sectors of society that are so far out there, next they'll be demanding this:
