Christians are beginning to fight back!

Just when you thought Christians willingly took it on the chin from just about everybody, we hear that there are some who are actually fighting back.

In what seemed like a policy to silence Christians and other politically incorrect factions, the "tolerance" movement came about which made it illegal to speak about homosexuality as aberrant behavior. Sounds more like intolerance to me!

The LA Times has a piece about a group of Christians who are suing for the 'Right Not to Tolerate Policies.'

ATLANTA — Ruth Malhotra went to court last month for the right to be intolerant.

Malhotra says her Christian faith compels her to speak out against homosexuality. But the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she's a senior, bans speech that puts down others because of their sexual orientation.

Malhotra sees that as an unacceptable infringement on her right to religious expression. So she's demanding that Georgia Tech revoke its tolerance policy.

With her lawsuit, the 22-year-old student joins a growing campaign to force public schools, state colleges and private workplaces to eliminate policies protecting gays and lesbians from harassment. The religious right aims to overturn a broad range of common tolerance programs: diversity training that promotes acceptance of gays and lesbians, speech codes that ban harsh words against homosexuality, anti-discrimination policies that require college clubs to open their membership to all.

The Rev. Rick Scarborough, a leading evangelical, frames the movement as the civil rights struggle of the 21st century. "Christians," he said, "are going to have to take a stand for the right to be Christian."

In that spirit, the Christian Legal Society, an association of judges and lawyers, has formed a national group to challenge tolerance policies in federal court. Several nonprofit law firms — backed by major ministries such as Focus on the Family and Campus Crusade for Christ — already take on such cases for free.

The legal argument is straightforward: Policies intended to protect gays and lesbians from discrimination end up discriminating against conservative Christians. Evangelicals have been suspended for wearing anti-gay T-shirts to high school, fired for denouncing Gay Pride Month at work, reprimanded for refusing to attend diversity training. When they protest tolerance codes, they're labeled intolerant.

It's about time! People have every right to think and believe whatever they wish and the so-called 'tolerant' programs in academia are exactly the opposite. These programs are anything but tolerant!

If Christians cower and refuse to get involved in politics and fight for what's right, how do they expect to maintain their constitutional right to speak freely and practice religion in public. What good is a Christian who doesn't stand up for what's right and boldly speak about what's right and what's wrong?

These folks deserve our support. Be sure to read the whole story.
