San Francisco Supervisors Sued For Discrimination

"A Catholic civil rights group sued the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for allegedly violating the separation of church and state by criticizing the Roman Catholic Church's position on adoption by gay couples."

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. The constitutional prohibition on an established (government-paid) church has been twisted to mean complete separation of church and State. And in that guise, it has been held to outlaw any religious expression on public property or by any government. And it is undoubted that the position of the church on homosexuality is a religious one. See Romans chapter 1. So a Leftist administration of any sort at any level cannot take sides in a religious matter. It's actually closer to the constitutional provision than most interpretations have been in recent years. Tongue Tied Pray that this gets to the U.S. Supreme Court (Tip O' the Hat to RJM)

Canon Lawyer Dr. Ed Peters, our legal beagle, thinks there's a pretty good case!
