The city of Houston has issued subpoenas demanding a group of pastors turn over any sermons dealing with homosexuality, gender identity or Annise Parker, the city’s first openly lesbian mayor. And those ministers who fail to comply could be held in contempt of court.
Next thing you know, they'll be wanting all Christians to wear crude patches of crosses on their jackets.

The answer for these churches is to get out of the 501(c)3 program. I think that would give them a bigger first amendment leg to stand on.. We don't have "dual-gender" bathrooms in NYS yet that I'm aware of, but I'll tell ya' now, if i'm in a bathroom and a man, who's obviously a man, and more importantly acting like a man comes sashaying in there and starts doing manly things in a manly way, then we're going to have a problem. If he's truly trans-gender then I doubt if I would even notice his being there, but a deviate I will notice. And he may just be truly trans-gender after we have a little "meeting of the minds".
Nevada may have been too far to drive but Texas isn't.
If Houston starts arresting pastors for...
Well, if I may paraphrase Davy Crockett, "You can go to hell, I'm going to Texas."
So. The city Gubbment wants to subpoena the pastor's sermons? No need for that. Just come to church, join the congregation, and LISTEN (you may actually learn something).
We PROMISE the the walls won't collapse, and lightning won't strike, if you come through the doors into this sanctified place.
Not even if you're G-dless, soulless, atheists. We promise. But you MAY be called out by the pastor, if he's a sharp one.

First, those churches should remove all paper evidence of those sermons. This is a clear cut case of 1st amendment rights suppression. And the people of Houston should be ashamed of themselves for allowing a communist leaning 'canoe cleaner' to become their mayor.
Around here we call things by their names. This one is just Satanic. The quicker the collective Judeo-Christian church would aknowledge this simple fact the better off they will be to arm against it.
I'm salivating over the prospect of the Chronicle's headline: "611 Houston-area pastors jailed for contempt; volunteer pastors swarming to take their place; Mayor Parker resigns"
I'm with Mike in KY, this might be another Bundy Ranch situation. We need to keep a close eye on this situation to determine the appropriate response should it become necessary. I sincerely hope it does NOT.
This one is easy, just ignore the subpoena. This is a straight forward, First Amendment issue. Hopefully, pastors have the moral fortitude to go to jail for it. I am fairly certain my pastor would be. Too bad I am way closer to Nevada than to Texas.
Yep I think the Cross I wear will be the Templer Cross on my CRIAS, right over the Level IV Plate.
Actually taking our her footmen first makes it easier to get to the Queen. Eventually no one will run interference for her.
Just sayin...
Gotta keep them Bitter Clingers from spreading the word!

Sounds like they need an open carry "Bring Your Rifle to Church Day" to remind the progressive twits what is waiting for them if they try to push this issue. They shouldn't even fight this one in the courts as it lends legitimacy to the original order. Just an un-Christian "f#*^! off" to the judge who dared to transgress our rights. Followed by some high velocity lead if they try to enforce it.
A pastor is free to call anyone out for some perceived action against their faith, even an angel. But if it's the wrong breed and temperament of angel, the pastor may end up with a jet engine dropped on his house. ;)
Still, said entity has a job to do, and if there is toxic leadership to be removed, scourged, or otherwise, then it must be done. No matter how annoying the persecuted buggers may be. :D
Unless it's just Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteen, and Joseph Prince. Then they can rot in jail so I can enjoy "hangover sunday" in peace. Oops, did I say that out loud? ;P
Times comin' faster now..
If I was a Houston Pastor, and by some careless oversight had neglected to preach such a sermon, I would scrap or postpone my plans for this Sunday and stand in the pulpit, silent video clips of the mayor on the screen behind me, while I read Romans 1:18-32 over and over and over, and send a DVD of the event directly to the mayor's office.
