NC 'anti-bullying' bill masks homosexual agenda

A pastor and conservative activist is urging fellow North Carolinians to raise their voices in opposition to a controversial anti-bullying bill in the state General Assembly that's being pushed by homosexual activists and their allies.

The North Carolina House recently passed the School Violence Prevention Act (HB 1366), a bill that would require public schools in the state to adopt policies to address the problems of bullying. However, the bill creates special protections for students based on their sexual orientation and gender identity or expression.
 
The State Senate stripped all of the pro-homosexuality language from the bill and sent it back to the House for concurrence, but the House narrowly voted not to concur with the Senate version. Now the original House measure is likely to come up for a vote on the Senate floor before the General Assembly adjourns on Friday.
 
Mark Creech, executive director the Christian Action League of North Carolina, warns there is a "hidden agenda" behind the bill to negate what he describes as the "strongest voices of criticism" against homosexual, bisexual, and transgender behavior in society.
 
"The evil of the legislation," says Creech, "is that it elevates sexual orientation and gender identity or expression on the same levels with the enumerations of race, color, ancestry, national origin, gender, physical appearance, mental, physical or sensory disability -- which are all immutable or unchangeable characteristics."
 
Creech contends that homosexuality, bisexuality, transgenderism, cross-dressing, and other alternate sexual behaviors are not immutable or unchangeable.
