Dobson’s Bill Rewards Homosexuals

To: National Desk

COLORADO SPRINGS, Co., Feb. 24/Covenant News Wire Service/ -- Dr. Paul Cameron, Chairman of the Family Research Institute, a Colorado Springs based think-tank, again challenged Dr. James Dobson’s explanation of his stance on SB166, a bill that would give homosexual couples new rights under Colorado law.

“Dr. Dobson claims that the proposed legislation has ‘nothing to do with sexual orientation,’” Cameron said, “and while the phrase ‘sexual orientation’ may not be used, the bill actually discriminates against cohabiting heterosexuals. Because of their ‘orientation,’ they are not eligible to receive the same benefits as cohabiting homosexuals.”

Cameron pointed out that the biblical prohibition against sex outside of marriage applies to homosexuals as well as heterosexuals; yet, he says, Dr. Dobson is willing to give government sanction and assistance to one illicit sexual arrangement, while denying it to another. “So sexual orientation,” Cameron said, “plays a significant role in who is and isn’t covered.”

Cameron said he would not approve of giving these new rights to cohabiting couples whether heterosexual or homosexual. “Marriage,” he said, “has served great civilizations for thousands of years, pagan as well as Christian. That’s why we have always given special rights to married couples – for services rendered. When we extend those rights to other sexual arrangements, we fail to acknowledge why we gave them in the first place. I hope that Dr. Dobson will reconsider his position and stop attacking those good people who disagree with him.”
