Matt Birk Claims Gay Marriage Would Strip Rights From Christians

In an ad for the group opposing Maryland's Question 6, Baltimore Ravens center Matt Birk claims that allowing the gay marriage law to take effect would strip rights from Christians.

In the 1-minute spot, Birk says the law's religious exemptions are too weak because they do not cover individuals and businesses or religious groups which accept government funding.

“If the referendum is not voted down, our religious freedoms are at risk,” Birk says.

“Churches, hospitals, religious charities, private businesses and individuals all will be subject to lawsuits and harassments for openly expressing their religious beliefs.”

“Under the new law, churches, religious organizations and charities that help the government care for those in need would not be exempt and would lose their First Amendment rights. And there are no provisions protecting businesses and individuals.”

“Marylanders should not be fooled into thinking we can redefine marriage and still protect our religious liberty. Don't redefine marriage,” Birk adds.
Yup Matt, by the law, those businesses offering public service will be required to offer those services to fags;
just like they have to offer services to blacks, orientals, unwed mothers, Jews and  Muslims.
Just for the record tho, your first amendment rights aren't being threatened, you can still put on your white hood every Sunday and listen to some pretend minister preach his gospel of hate..that's what the constitution was meant to guarantee after all, not your right to carry out acts of social terrorism on the people that don't fit your narrow minded views of the world.
