ACTION CENTER

Colorado State Sen. Scott Renfroe

Sen. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley, stood before the state Senate Feb. 23 just before it passed SB 88, a bill granting insurance benefits to homosexual partners of state employees. He read scripture to lawmakers – including the bill's openly "gay" sponsors, Democrats Sen. Jennifer Veiga and Rep. Mark Ferrandino.

"I oppose this bill because of what my personal beliefs are," Renfroe said. "I think that what our country was founded upon was those beliefs also."

He told the Senate God created woman as a helper for man and commanded his children to "be fruitful and multiply."

"I think that goes back to this whole picture of family that God created us for, and we need to honor that," he said firmly. "Homosexuality is seen as a violation of this natural created order."

Renfroe then began reading the book of Leviticus to the Senate.

"Ye shall not lie with a man as one lies with a female. It is an abomination," he read. "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act, and they shall surely be put to death. Their blood guiltness is upon them."

	STATE SPONSORED HOMOPHOBIA

	Did You Know People Still Get Killed for Identifying as LGBT World Wide? Even though much international progress has been made towards LGBT rights / an international LGBT voice, governments still continue to not only discriminate against those who identify as LGBT, but also kill, torture or exile those who are "out." To view a current map of those countries that do not tolerate the LGBT community as well as potential ramifications that those who are "found out" could possibly face, click here.
