After weeks of parading around Maine as the faces of compassion and normalcy, the masks of same-sex "marriage" have finally come off. So have the gloves. After Tuesday's defeat, homosexual activists are shocked, they're angry, and now they're determined to make voters pay.
In a new campaign, the people of Maine Marriage Equality have decided to unleash some California-style harassment on the churches that publicly sided with traditional marriage -- Question 1. Ever the sore losers, the Left is calling on supporters to file IRS complaints against any house of worship that supported marriage as God intended it. Intimidation is what they do best, and Maine Equality is hoping to show off those talents by stripping Maine churches of their tax-exempt status. Unfortunately for them, it's completely within a church's legal rights to preach on social issues, particularly as they pertain to Scripture.
Once again, liberal extremists are showing that this debate isn't about tolerance--but domination. It's not about the freedom to marry--it's about losing the freedom to speak publicly about your beliefs. That's why liberals so intent on publishing the names of donors and supporters of marriage initiatives. They want
to exact a steep price for any opposition to their agenda. At the very least, this vicious intolerance should show congregations that what's at stake in this fight is nothing less than their liberty.
