The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (USCCR) report, "Peaceful Coexistence: Reconciling Nondiscrimination Principles with Civil Liberties," is a shocking example of the war against religious freedom in America.
The recently released Commission's report is a shameful anti-American and anti-God document that trashes religious freedom.
Martin Castro, named USCCR chairman by President Obama in 2011, says that the words "religious freedom" and "religious liberty" have become merely code words for intolerance, Christian supremacy, racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, and therefore must yield before LGBT anti-discrimination laws. Regarding sexual orientation and gender identity, this report also does not support those people who hold to the religious belief that marriage is reserved to one man and one woman as they provide services such as marriage licenses, photography, cake decorating or flower arranging.
Chairman Castro is out of touch with reality and with our Constitution. He and the other members of the Commission who agree with him want to throw out the First Amendment and trash religious freedom whenever faith and practice collides with an intolerant LGBT agenda. The report is literally a declaration of war against religious freedom. George Washington said anyone who works against the twin pillars of religion and morality cannot be called a 'Patriot.' This report is un-American.
+ + Liberty Counsel is fighting on behalf of our First Amendment rights on many fronts.
As one of the nation's leading public interest law firms, Liberty Counsel is on the leading edge of this battle for our liberties.
We have gone "all in" to ensure that these battles for our nation, our culture, and our Constitution is won both in public forums and, when necessary, in courts throughout the land!
That's why we need your help now as we build the war chest to defend religious freedom against an unprecedented and calculated assault by radical extremists – and our own government.
Tom, in the next two weeks, as we close out September, we need an additional $20,000 over and above our normal operating expenses just to keep up with our burgeoning caseload. Every bit of support possible – both prayer and financial – will help tremendously.

The focus of the "Peaceful Coexistence" report states that granting religious exemptions to nondiscrimination laws "significantly infringes" on the civil rights of those claiming civil rights protections on the basis of "race, color, national origin, sex, disability status, sexual orientation and gender identity."
The report calls for laws that eliminate exemptions or accommodation for religious convictions.

•The Virginia Supreme Court agreed to take up Liberty Counsel's challenge to the Fairfax County School Board case regarding its illegal policy in which the board added "sexual orientation," "gender identity," and "gender expression" to its anti-discrimination policy and student handbook - contrary to Virginia law. This case is a matter of statewide and national concern.
