Europe: Homophobia Illegal?

The European Union has passed a resolution "Homophobia in Europe" that equates homophobia with racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and sexism.
World Net Daily is reporting
The European Parliament's recently passed resolution "Homophobia in Europe" has raised alarms among European pro-family groups, Christians and others who worry the measure is a move to cut off public debate over same-sex unions and force universal acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle. The controversial resolution urging member states to ban "homophobia" states that "homophobia can be defined as an irrational fear of and aversion to homosexuality and of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people based on prejudice, similar to racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and sexism."

This is a dangerous precedent as it basically outlaws one of the very basic tenents of christianity. Our faith is under attack and one center of that attack is Western Europe. This only calls to our attention how vital Pope Benedict's call to re-evangelize Europe is.
