GAY TRUTH

While the Bible does address homosexuality, it does not explicitly mention gay marriage/same-sex marriage. It is clear, however, that the Bible condemns homosexuality as an immoral and unnatural sin. Leviticus 18:22 identifies homosexual sex as an abomination, a detestable sin. Romans 1:26-27 declares homosexual desires and actions to be shameful, unnatural, lustful, and indecent. First Corinthians 6:9 states that homosexuals are unrighteous and will not inherit the kingdom of God. Since both homosexual desires and actions are condemned in the Bible, it is clear that homosexuals “marrying” is not God’s will, and would be, in fact, sinful. Whenever the Bible mentions marriage, it is between a male and a female. The first mention of marriage, Genesis 2:24 , describes it as a man leaving his parents and being united to his wife. In passages that contain instructions regarding marriage, such as 1 Corinthians 7:2-16 and Ephesians 5:23-33 , the Bible clearly identifies marriage as bei

The Bible consistently tells us that homosexual activity is a sin ( Genesis 19:1-13 ; Leviticus 18:22 ; 20:13 ; Romans 1:26-27 ; 1 Corinthians 6:9 ). Romans 1:26-27 teaches specifically that homosexuality is a result of denying and disobeying God. When people continue in sin and unbelief, God “gives them over” to even more wicked and depraved sin in order to show them the futility and hopelessness of life apart from God. 1 Corinthians 6:9 proclaims that homosexual “offenders” will not inherit the kingdom of God. God does not create a person with homosexual desires. The Bible tells us that people become homosexuals because of sin ( Romans 1:24-27 ) and ultimately because of their own choice. A person may be born with a greater susceptibility to homosexuality, just as some people are born with a tendency to violence and other sins. That does not excuse the person’s choosing to sin by giving in to sinful desires. If a person is born with a greater susceptibility to anger/rage, does t

The Bible doesn't speak of homosexuality very often; but when it does, it condemns it as sin . Let's take a look. Leviticus 18:22 , "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." 1 Leviticus 20:13 , "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them." 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 , "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God." Romans 1:26-28 , "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natur

Gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals reported more health problems than straight men and women, in a large U.S. survey. For the first time since its launch in 1957, the National Health Interview Survey in 2013 and 2014 included a question about sexual orientation. With nearly 69,000 participants, the survey revealed that lesbian, gay and bisexual adults "were more likely to report impaired physical and mental health, heavy alcohol consumption, and heavy cigarette use, potentially due to the stressors that (they) experience as a result of interpersonal and structural discrimination," researchers wrote online June 28 in JAMA Internal Medicine. Overall, 67,150 survey respondents were heterosexual, 525 lesbian, 624 gay and 515 bisexual. The average age was about 47. Gilbert Gonzales of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville and colleagues found that compared to heterosexual women, lesbians were 91 percent more likely to report poor or fair health. Lesbians

Democrats in Utah and Colorado nominated two transgender candidates this week, men depicting themselves as women, to represent their party in congressional races this fall. Misty Snow received the nomination from the Democrats for one of Utah’s U.S. Senate seats on Tuesday, becoming the first transgender Senate candidate from a major party, the Miami Herald reports. Another Misty, Misty Plowright, won the Democratic primary for a House seat in Colorado. Though Snow was the first to garner the Senate nomination while presenting himself as a woman, Plowright did not make transgender history with his House nomination because another candidate living openly as the opposite sex, Karen Kerin, won the Republican nomination for the House representing Vermont in 2000. Kerin, who passed away in 2014, lost that race overwhelmingly against then-Rep. Bernie Sanders, now a Vermont senator and Democrat presidential candidate. Snow called his victory “a historic day for the LGBT community”

If anyone doubts that Kathleen Wynne’s Liberal government will overrule parental rights in favour of its inclusivity agenda on behalf of LGBTTIQ — lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, two-spirited, intersex, queer and questioning — students and parents, the evidence — literally — points clearly and abundantly to the fact that it will, and is. And if anyone doubts that teachers in the public school system are encouraged to bring up references to LGBTTIQ issues in any and all subjects at their discretion, because equity and inclusivity is embedded in the curriculum, again, the evidence is in. That evidence is found in the opposition factums in the Steve Tourloukis case, heard June 23 by Ontario Superior Court Justice Robert Reid, and in which the Wynne Liberal government intervened on behalf of the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, as did the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario. “Requests to exempt students from the very portions of the curriculum t

A high-profile gay Youtube personality who claims he suffered a violent “hate crime” actually hurt himself while in jail for vandalism, Los Angeles police are saying. And now they have charged him with filing a false police report over the alleged incident. According to the LAPD, they responded to YouTuber Calum McSwiggan’s report of being assaulted after leaving a West Hollywood nightclub early Monday and “were unable to substantiate the assault.” The police subsequently arrested McSwiggan after he   allegedly vandalized a car . The police maintain that he had no visible injuries at the time of his arrest; his booking photo shows no visible injuries, either. After his arrest, he was held alone in a cell. According to the LAPD, McSwiggan was hospitalized after they discovered him using a payphone in the cell to harm himself. In a June 27   post  on Facebook and Instagram accompanied by a photo of him in the hospital with a bandage on his head, McSwiggan wrote: The

The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) has found that gays, lesbians and bisexuals have significantly greater health problems than heterosexuals. The NHIS has been analyzing Americans' health since 1957, and in 2013 began including sexual orientation. A study of its data, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), revealed that of 69,000 adult participants, homosexuals "were more likely to report impaired physical and mental health, heavy alcohol consumption, and heavy cigarette use." Vanderbilt University School of Medicine's Dr. Gilbert Gonzales led the study, which found lesbians were 91 percent more likely to have "poor" or "fair" health and 51 percent more likely to have multiple chronic conditions compared to heterosexual women. Lesbians also were significantly more likely to experience psychological distress than female heterosexuals (28 percent vs. 22 percent). Homosexual men reported psychologi

In responding to the Orlando massacre at a same-sex nightclub, Bishop Robert Lynch of the Diocese of St. Petersburg found religion, including Catholicism, responsible for the slaughter. He wrote, “sadly it is religion, including our own, which targets, mostly verbally, and also often breeds contempt for gays, lesbians and transgender people.” And he is right that we were wrong; but he is right for the wrong reason. Our contempt was not in words spoken but in those left unsaid. To hold someone in contempt is to look down on him or her as somehow less worthy. It is to judge some as unable to meet basic human standards of behavior, or to doubt that others might be capable of genuine sacrificial love. Many Catholics are guilty of this contempt. This contempt, however, is not rooted in the magisterial teaching of the Church but in the Catholicism practiced and preached by most Catholics, lay and clerical, in the modern Western world. It is the contempt of low expectations, a contemp
