Church leaders in Plano, Texas, are asking residents to sign a petition against the city's new equal rights ordinance, saying it violates religious freedom.
The Plano City Council expanded the ordinance earlier this month to say that it's unlawful to discriminate against a person based on sexual orientation or sexual identity.
The ordinance already makes it unlawful to discriminate based on race, sex and religion when it comes to housing, public accommodations, employment, or city contracting.
Pastor Mike Buster, with Prestonwood Baptist Church, says the Plano City Council is trying to silence people of faith in the workplace. He shared more about the case with CBN News Reporter Caitlin Burke.
A petition drive with more information can be found on the website, Plano Citizens United.
