This is insane! How dare they even try this and how DARE the people go along with it. I don't care what religion you are Freedom of Religion is a human right. It is YOUR thoughts to your creator and no one else.
If the people in the pews don't stand up NOW, they will not have any more chances.

Bye-bye First Amendment. Things are becoming worse day by day...we are in a freefall now.
From the article:
The city of Houston has issued subpoenas demanding a group of pastors turn over any sermons dealing with homosexuality, gender identity or Annise Parker, the city�s first openly lesbian mayor. And those ministers who fail to comply could be held in contempt of court.

The city of Houston has issued subpoenas demanding a group of pastors turn over any sermons dealing with homosexuality, gender identity or Annise Parker, the city�s first openly lesbian mayor. And those ministers who fail to comply could be held in contempt of court.
�The city�s subpoena of sermons and other pastoral communications is both needless and unprecedented,� Alliance Defending Freedom attorney Christina Holcomb said in a statement. �The city council and its attorneys are engaging in an inquisition designed to stifle any critique of its actions.�
ADF, a nationally-known law firm specializing in religious liberty cases, is representing five Houston pastors. They filed a motion in Harris County court to stop the subpoenas arguing they are �overbroad, unduly burdensome, harassing, and vexatious.�
�Political and social commentary is not a crime,� Holcomb said. �It is protected by the First Amendment.�
The subpoenas are just the latest twist in an ongoing saga over the Houston�s new non-discrimination ordinance. The law, among other things, would allow men to use the ladies room and vice versa. The city council approved the law in June.
