I stumbled upon this article the other day titled "Suspected Gay Man Denied Entry to Creation Museum." Apparently officials denied a man entery into the museum because they had a hunch he was gay.
Turns out he was straight, but they still wouldn't let him in. The crazy thing is, Kentucky Law protects the museum for this discrimination!! As quoted in the article:
"There are no federal or state laws prohibiting discrimination on the
basis of someone's perceived orientation or gender identity. So if
someone believes you to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, they
have every legal right to deny you a public accommodation, like a museum
visit, or restaurant visit or bus ride." Chris Hartman, director of The
Fairness Campaign, said.
This is just as bad as the prejudices that took place against Black people, and there is no law that prevents it. Didn't God love his people? Does God not ask for kindness and love for everyone? Just the fact that so much hatred could come from the officials of the Creation Museum for someone they hardly know is disturbing to me. As we read in the "Homosexuality and The Bible" article in class, it can be argued either way whether or not God was "for" or "against" homosexuals. It just goes to show that everyone can interpret it they way they want to.
Here's the link to the article:
