<h3>A t-shirt company in Lexington, Kentucky is under investigation by the city’s Human Rights Commission after refusing to print shirts to a local gay rights organization.</h3>

<p><em><strong>Fox News</strong> </em>is reporting that Blaine Adamson, managing owner of the t-shirt company named “Hands on Originals,” became the target of gay activists when he told representatives of the the Gay and Lesbian Services Organization (GLSO) that he could not print shirts for the city’s Pride Festival because the event runs contrary to his religious beliefs. Adamson offered to find another company who would agree to print the shirts at the same price, but this wasn’t good enough for GLSO who filed a complaint against him with Lexington’s Human Rights Commission.</p>
<p>“Our feeling on that is, separate but equal wasn’t okay during the civil rights movement and it’s not okay now,” said Aaron Baker, board president of GLSO.</p>
<p>Almost immediately, “Hands on Originals” came under fierce attack from activists, such as creating a Facebook page dedicated to promoting a boycott of the business. Another group is trying to buy the company’s mortgage for the purpose of getting them evicted. According to the <em>Lexington Herald-Leader</em>, the GLSO coaxed some 60 homosexual activists to picket in front of the business on March 30 to express their anger and encourage people to stop doing business with the company. The negative publicity has caused the Fayette County public school system to put a temporary hold on buying t-shirts from the company until the issue is resolved and the University of Kentucky is also reviewing its future business with the t-shirt maker.</p>
<p>Lexington’s openly gay mayor has also been vocal in his attacks on the business, telling the <em>Leader </em>that “People don’t have patience for this sort of attitude today.”</p>
<p>“I’m against discrimination, period,” Gray said in a statement released to television station <em>WKYT.</em> “It’s bad for business and bad for the city. I support the Human Rights Commission in a full and thorough investigation.”</p>

<h2>Here's the Good News: There is hope in God for those who are trapped in the homosexual lifestyle.</h2>
<p>Deviant societies call bad behaviour good. Those who engage in bad behaviour, in this case the homosexual lifestyle, are told it is their legal "right". Practicing homosexuals obtain their legal rights from those who desire their political support. Devious lawyers and corrupt politicians encourage people to cast off moral restraint in hopes of gaining their vote. In his book , "Lift Up Your Heart", Fulton Sheen described modern society this way: <em>"Unable to live by the old mores, they changed the rules to fit their new behaviour"</em> (paraphrasing mine).</p>
<p>Do not be fooled (or surprised) by societal, or "lawful", approval of aberrant behaviour. Societal approval and/or judicial approval is by design a balm, albeit conterfeit, for a guilty conscience. The "conscience" is the spiritual and psychological mechanism God uses to lead people back to the Truth. Unless the conscience has been nullified, we turn to God in sorrow after doing something we, intuitively, know is wrong. Again I say, do not be fooled.</p>
<h2>For those seeking freedom from the bondage of homosexuality, here is understanding and a great promise:</h2>

He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+56:4-5&amp;version=KJV"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #0066cc;">Isaiah 56:4-5</span></strong></span></a><br /><sup id="en-KJV-18758">4</sup>For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; <sup id="en-KJV-18759">5</sup>Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.</p>
<h2>For those who lead these astray:</h2>
