The Swiss Churches Working Community (CETC) is calling for the Sunday rest, which it believes it is increasingly threatened.

The Gay Bullies: Exclusion, Intolerance, Uniformity

For more than a decade, I've been warning that those who came out of the closet — meaning, gay activists — want to put conservative Christians in the closet.

I've been saying that, in the LGBT activist lexicon, "tolerance" means the intolerance of all views but their own, "diversity" means their way or the highway, and "inclusive" means the exclusion of all opposing opinions and values.

Day by day, we are watching all this unfold before our eyes.

In the UK, Pink News reports that, "Scotland is training a small army of LGBT-friendly police officers to stamp out hate crime."

This "small army" has been tasked with encouraging victims of "hate crimes" to report those crimes to the police, since such crimes are allegedly underreported.

The problem is that, in the UK, preachers simply reading the Scriptures on a street corner have been charged with LGBT "hate crimes."

On at least one occasion, a preacher was charged with a hate crime because a lesbian listener simply felt discriminated against. (Thankfully, the case was thrown out and compensation of about $4,000 was paid out due to the preacher's arrest and 11-hour, jail cell detainment.)

What will happen now with this "small army" on the lookout for such "crimes"?

Some years ago, I began to write about "the diversity police," using the term metaphorically. Today, it is no longer a metaphor.

Yet there's more. There will be increasing scrutiny in Scottish schools as well.

As explained by Fergus McMillan, Chief Executive of LGBT Youth Scotland, "We are currently working with a range of partners, including Equality Network, to increase the reporting of homophobic, biphobic and transphobic hate crimes and incidents and improve the support available to those targeted."

Presumably, if a little girl objected to a confused little boy sharing her bathroom, she would be guilty of a "transphobic hate crime."

John Knox must be turning over in his grave.

Back here in America, the Insider Higher Ed website reported on March 10 that, "In a letter sent to the National Collegiate Athletic Association on Wednesday, more than 80 lesbian, gay and transgender organizations urged the NCAA to 'divest from all religious-based institutions' that discriminate against transgender students."

In other words, if a religious-based institution of higher education cannot support transgender activism on its campus — because of its explicit religious convictions — then the NCAA must boycott that schools.

Talk about intolerance and bullying!

So, if a religious-based university like Wheaton or Oral Roberts or Brigham Young was not willing to admit a biological male as a female, thereby allowing him to room with women, use the women's locker rooms and bathrooms, play on the women's sports teams, and join women's collegiate groups, that school would be guilty of transgender "discrimination" and the NCAA should boycott them.

Once again, in the world of gay activism, "inclusion" is a one-way street, to be enforced by bullying and boycotting.
