Civil Rights Act Religious Views

There are arguments for and against a National
Civil Rights Act that would extend a protected
status to homosexuals. First, I feel it is

status would encompass. It would ensure that gays
are not discriminated in any way because of their
sexual practices. This status would be enforced in
all situations where the government can exercise
its power to end such discrimination. My personal
feeling toward this topic, opposes, the National

getting bored and had nothing to do. Many started
to return home either out of boredom or belief

men were left to face the winter under the
