"In the next few weeks, President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and their homosexual and transgender allies will attempt to ram through the so-called Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). What you may not know is that ENDA normalizes and provides special federal protection for 30+ bizarre sexual orientations listed by the American Psychiatric Association – the so-called 'Dirty 30.' These 30+ fetishes include behaviors that are felonies or misdemeanors in most states.

"ENDA’s 'Dirty 30' includes such bizarre criminal acts as incest, pedophilia, prostitution, beastiality, and cross-dressing. If we don’t act today, Obama and Pelosi will normalize these disorders by federal law on April 21! In a moment of candor, liberal Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) openly admitted on the House floor that the 'Dirty 30' would be covered by federal law. In fact, he wants the Dirty 30 to be given special protection! In his own words: 'all of these philias and fetishes and isms that were put forward--need not live in fear because of who they are.'

"If Obama, Pelosi, Hastings and the Congressional Democrats pass ENDA, co-workers will be forced to work alongside individuals with these bizarre sex fetishes. Christian businesses will be directly impacted by ENDA. They would be forced to hire or retain cross-dressers and individuals who engage in these sinful behaviors. Students will be indoctrinated that 'alternative lifestyles' are no different than traditional lifestyles. Young children will be forced to learn about these bizarre sexual fetishes – and you will have no say in the matter." - Traditional Values Coalition director Rev. Lou Sheldon, reviving the outrageous lies used against the Matthew Shepard Act.

And of course, the above-cited quote from Rep. Hastings actually comes from his mocking and disbelieving reading of a proposed anti-gay poison pill to the Matthew Shepard Act. Sheldon knows that, but he depends on his Christianist followers to buy the lie.
