SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION CONTINUES
ISSUING BIZARRE ANTI-GAY RESOLUTIONS
Latest Tirade Attacks President Clinton's Executive Order Banning
Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation in the Federal Work
Force
Washington, D.C. -- The Human Rights Campaign condemned yet another
anti-gay resolution passed today by the Southern Baptist Convention,
meeting in
Salt Lake City. The resolution called on Congress to rescind President
Clinton's
executive order banning workplace discrimination against lesbian and gay
federal employees.
"This group seems to be obsessed with attacking lesbian and gay
Americans
by resolution," said David M. Smith, HRC's communications director and
senior
strategist. "While differences of opinion on religious matters is to be
expected, religious disagreements never justify discrimination."
Earlier this week, the group passed resolutions opposing same-gender
marriage and urging wives to submit to their husbands. Last year, the group
called for a boycott of the Walt Disney Company because of its policies
extending health insurance to the domestic partners of gay and lesbian
employees
and allowing Ellen DeGeneres' character to come out as a lesbian on ABC's
Ellen.
The boycott failed as Disney's stock and earnings soared.
The Southern Baptists' resolutions come the same week that religious
political broadcaster and Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson warned
Orlando, Fla., of hurricanes, terrorist bombing, tornadoes and meteors for
allowing gay pride flags to be flown along city streets in recognition of
that
city's gay pride festival.
The Human Rights Campaign is the largest national lesbian and gay
political organization, with members throughout the country. It effectively
lobbies Congress, provides campaign support, and educates the public to
ensure
that ,lesbian and gay Americans can be open, honest, and safe at home, at
work,
and in the community.
