The right to express our Christian faith is at its most precarious.
You won’t believe it, but every day, I receive countless reports of Christians whose rights are trampled for opposing LGBT or trans ideology at work, being censored on social media, or even denied the right to decide about the disturbing sexualization their children face in schools.
Let’s face it: Christians like you and me opposing the aggressive teaching of radical, irrational gender ideology concepts will be right away labeled as intolerant bigots or far-right extremists.
Or even worse… We risk legal action, fines, and imprisonment.
Remember, the 53rd UN Human Rights Council last June warned that religious freedom, particularly Christian beliefs, violates LGBT rights. It developed a set of proposals for countries to intervene in religious matters to stop this alleged “violation” of LGBT rights.
At CitizenGO, we've been alert to the dangers for Christians. With your support, our campaigns gathered over half a million signatures, challenging this report and urging governments to protect our Christian rights...
However, governments are fearful of providing a clear answer. They are overly apprehensive about opposing the radical LGBT and trans lobbies.
While the U.S. government avoids commenting on whether it will protect the rights of Christians against the UN's recommendation, we watch with alarm as laws and policies that silence our voices in favor of the LGBT and trans agenda proliferate.
This silence is intolerable. Demand now that the U.S. government ensures you can practice your beliefs and Christian faith freely, without interference or coercion.Do not allow the agenda of radical LGBT and trans lobbies to taint our Christian beliefs!
Ever since this report was presented at the UN Human Rights Council back in June, it has already made dangerous strides, backed fiercely by the LGBT lobby.
In the subsequent months since its introduction, its implications are already being felt in the clash between Christian rights and the LGBT agenda.
CitizenGO is experiencing this first hand, being at the forefront of recent campaigns where religious freedom was attacked precisely quoting this report.
The recent suspension of Tory councillor Lawal King in the United Kingdom - King expressed his religious beliefs and quoted a biblical verse. He was suspended because his comments were supposedly ‘hateful’ towards the LGBT community.
The ongoing trial of Paivi Rasanen, who after 2 years of a tireless trial, still awaits her verdict at the Court of Appeal in Finland, for publicly quoting a verse from the Bible.
In the UK, Felix Ngole, a Christian social worker, had his job offer rescinded due to his biblical beliefs concerning sexuality and marriage.
A few weeks ago, thousands of Christian parents in Canada boldly rallied against the repulsive, obsessive, and mandatory sexualization of their children in schools. Worryingly, this disturbing pattern is not unique to Canada but is proliferating globally.
My colleagues Caroline Farrow in the UK, Anne Kioko in Kenya, and Eduard Prols in Germany are already dealing with personal and professional fallout from laws that cater to LGBTI and trans groups. These laws turn Christians' free speech into a crime - calling it hate speech.
… and so many more cases that are happening day by day, where Christians are at the receiving end for sharing what they believe in!
That is precisely why the dangers of this report are not a far fetched possibility, but more like a visibly present reality!
The alarming effects of this could reach far and wide - from your local priest to your kids at university, and even you! Expressing your opinions based on your religious beliefs could potentially result in being reported.
The UN recommendation is quickly being used by the LGBT lobby to silence and criminally charge Christians like you and me who express their faith.
Don't be fooled, this is a matter of pressure. If thousands of Christians like you and me put enough pressure on our governments, they will have to give us an answer.
That is why we need to defeat this proposal, before it is too late.
Imagine living in a world where LGBT ideology is imposed on religions, religious practices are restricted, and Christians are faced with an unsafe environment.
This is what we are up against. And it is more critical than ever.
I follow these cases on a daily basis, and I can assure you that the LGBT lobby is quoting the narrative of this report more than ever.
For them, religious freedom should NOT protect Christians against LGBT and pro-abortion demands, and they want this concept instilled in our societies.
Remember that the UN paper also urges states to look at punitive measures for those who hold to certain more traditional religious views:
“Encourage religious institutions to consider the ways in which representatives will be held responsible in cases in which they promote discrimination against LGBT+ and other gender diverse persons”.
The content of this report is outrageous and alarming, as it poses a direct threat to the rights of priests and pastors and infringes on the sacred ground of our Christian faith.
It is a fundamental battle for our right to freely and independently practice our faith.

Emphases are mine.
Your right to express our Christian faith is at risk.
Every day, Christians are jeopardized for standing against LGBT or trans ideology, silenced on social media, or even barred from influencing the hypersexual education their children receive in schools.
Opposition to the teaching of radical gender ideology makes one a target, often branded as intolerant or extremist. Worse still, we face potential legal consequences—financial penalties or even imprisonment.
The 53rd UN Human Rights Council report warned that Christian beliefs violate LGBT rights and proposed that countries intervene in religious matters.
CitizenGO is advocating the danger of these proposals for Christians, and our campaigns in the United States and worldwide garnered over half a million signatures in opposition thus far.
However, the United States government has not answered you yet.
This silence is alarming as laws and policies silencing our voices proliferate.
Since its introduction at the UN Human Rights Council in June, the controversial report has made alarming progress, championed vigorously by the LGBT lobby.
Its ramifications are palpably evident in the ongoing conflict between Christian rights and the LGBT agenda.
Examples include the suspension of Tory councilor Lawal King in the UK for expressing his religious beliefs and the ongoing trial of Paivi Rasanen in Finland for publicly quoting a Bible verse.
This summer in the U.S., we saw pastors Rich Penkoski in Oklahoma and Damon Atkins in Pennsylvania arrested for speaking out against the LGBT community.
Here in the States, like in many countries, Christian parents are rallying against the overt sexualization of their children in schools, enforced by the government to appease extreme demands of the LGBT and trans lobbies.
Our colleagues in the UK and Germany, Caroline Farrow and Eduard Prols, are already experiencing the fallout from laws favoring LGBTI and trans groups.
These are not isolated incidents but a growing trend. Christians' free speech is turned into a crime—labeled hate speech.
Alarmingly, the UN report is swiftly becoming a tool for the LGBT lobby to suppress and penalize Christians for voicing their beliefs.
It is imperative that we counteract this proposal before its repercussions become irreversible.
Demand that your rights here in the United States are upheld and that our government allows you to freely practice and express your Christian beliefs.
We must not let radical LGBT agendas meddle with our Christian faith.
