Residents of Kalamazoo, Michigan, will have a chance to vote on a city ordinance that bestows special rights on homosexuals, lesbians, and transgendered people.
Earlier the ordinance was passed, and a petition drive was successful to put the issue on the ballot. City officials, however, simply pulled out the ordinance, forcing another petition drive. Gary Glenn heads the American Family Association of Michigan. "They were required to gather some 1,200 signatures. They gathered over 2,000," he notes. "What that will force the city commission to do is to either rescind this so-called 'gay-rights' ordinance, or put it on the ballot for a vote of the people of Kalamazoo in November." Glenn believes they will take it to the people. He expects it will be a tough battle. "For example, homosexual activists' campaign will be paid for by a homosexual activist billionaire who lives in Kalamazoo -- so they are going to have unlimited funds to run this campaign in favor of this ordinance," the pro-family activist points out. Glenn adds that simple ordinances in other cities have been used to discriminate and punish not only Christian business owners, but also charities such as the Salvation Army, Boy Scouts, and United Way.
