Note: This California bill, also reported by LifeSite, is a dangerous new development in the growing state suppression of beliefs and institutions that follow traditional morality. Mass Resistance of Massachusetts has achieved remarkable successes in stopping “gay” movement advances through its politically incorrect, very frank, unapologetic and determined grassroots efforts. Their successes constrast with the far more heavily funded, but overly timid and failed Church and other marriage defending organization efforts. Those efforts have refused to publicly acknowledge the harms and evil of homosexuality. The result is that  more chapters of Mass Resistance are forming  in other U.S. states. These are ordinary people achieving extraordinary things. They are willing to endure the constant ridicule and personal threats that come with telling the uncomfortable, full truths about homosexuality and the “gay” movement's real agendas.

August 5, 2016 (Mass Resistance) –The battle to stop the most aggressive LGBT anti-religious legislation in the country, SB 1146, is continuing in California, with California MassResistance in the thick of the fight.

While the California Legislature was in recess during the month of July, the fight intensified.  California MassResistance activists personally went to numerous Assembly members’ local offices, and engaged them at their public events. (See below.) They also put the pressure on local city governments to formally oppose the bill.

UPDATE: SB 1146 did NOT pass the Appropriations Committee on Aug. 3. However, the committee will take it up again on Thursday, Aug. 11. But if it does not pass the committee by Aug. 12, it is killed! We are continuing to fight hard!

Direct confrontational approach

A key ingredient to being effective is being 100% truthful about the nature of this battle, which too many pro-family groups are unfortunately reluctant to do. 

As Arthur Schaper, director of California MassResistance, says:

Barry Corey, the president of Biola University, one of the oldest Christian colleges in California, issued a statement about this legislation: “We are not asking the LGBT community to change who they are,” Biola president Barry Corey said in a video created as part of the college’s “Oppose SB1146” campaign. “We are simply asking that they do not force us to change who we are, either.”

This approach does not attack the core issues relating to this agenda, that so much of it is predicated on lies and distortions. In fact, homosexuality is a destructive behavior and transgenderism is a mental disorder. They are not civil rights.

In spite of the tepid response from most establishment pro-family groups, California MassResistance is taking on a more direct, confrontational approach. It’s just not effective to merely rely on persuasion. Most lawmakers must feel the heat to see the light! Our team is committed to making that very clear to legislators.

Taking the fight directly to California Assembly members!

After SB 1146 was passed by the hostile Assembly Judiciary Committee on June 30, California MassResistance members knew that they had their work cut out for them. Pro-family people across California immediately began to contact members of the Appropriations Committee.
