WASHINGTON – As a bill banning job discrimination against gay, lesbian and transgender workers moves closer to a House vote, conservative groups are alerting Christians to take action against what they say would create a crisis for faithful Americans.

Gay rights advocates expect the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) to win House approval in coming weeks but are unable to predict how the narrowly divided Senate will vote.

"We know it's going to be very close," said Matt Barber, policy director for cultural issues for Concerned Women for America, according to The Associated Press.

Barber argues that while ENDA proponents say the bill is a mere extension of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, banning employment discrimination based upon "sexual orientation," the legislation would "actually violate the Civil Rights Act by codifying the very thing it purports to prevent - workplace discrimination." the rest
