Religious non-profit organizations will soon be required to hire LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) people, according to a new set of regulations from the Obama administration, the Christian Headlines website reports today (June 4, 2015).
The President has added a "sexual orientation and gender identity" mandate that will require Christian organizations to hire people who are gay, as well as allow transgender people to use the locker rooms and restrooms of their chosen sex.
Mat Staver of the Liberty Counsel says the new rule is unfair to faith-based organizations that believe in biblical teaching on homosexuality.
"This is ludicrous!" Staver said. "Christian organizations cannot offer biblical counseling and, at the same time, hire people who do not follow the Bible and their doctrinal positions on human sexuality. Ultimately, this LGBT regulation is going to cause irreparable harm to the children and the needy."
