WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama has signed legislation that elevates homosexuals to the class of citizens that enjoy special protections under the law.
It's landmark legislation for gays and opponents fear it will create legal troubles for Christians.

With a flip of his pen, Obama added gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people to the list of Americans granted extra protections under federal law, taking a step closer, he says, towards a more perfect union.

Bishop E.W. Jackson, with Exodus Faith Ministries, joined CBN News to talk about how the hate crimes law might affect Christians. Watch the video and the complete report at the following link.
