Obama administration’s threat to hamper Christian aid for the poor and homeless
In the waning months of his presidency, Barack Obama is calling into question what it means to be a man or a woman.
His administration first went after public schools, ordering them to allow students to use restrooms and locker rooms based on gender identity, rather than biology. Now, policy changes adopted by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and proposed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) put those who care for the sick and indigent in the cross-hairs of federal regulators charged with promulgating the Obama view of fluid sexuality.
But faith-based groups are fighting back, filing suit to defend the biblical view of gender and their constitutionally protected right to hold it. As with the similar battle over marriage, the U.S. Supreme Court will get the final word on whether what God created and called “very good” still applies to American society.
