American churches able to speak against Homosexuality?

Not any more, according to the American Family Association:

A bill now before Congress (H.R. 1592 / S. 1105) would criminalize negative comments concerning homosexuality, such as calling the practice of homosexuality a sin from the pulpit, a "hate crime" punishable by a hefty fine and time in prison. This dangerous legislation would take away our freedom of speech and our freedom of religion.

So, what should we, as Christians, do? We could:

a) Pray against the horrible, sinful and evil powers that are working against the church, or
b) Vote for respectable and godly political candidates (ie anyone in the Republican party), or
c) Organise protests and send mail outs, or
d) Check whether the AFA has actually got its facts right before doing anything.

I am continually frustrated by the errors of so many "Christian" leaders, and the stupidity of those who follow them.
