GAY TRUTH

If you were trying to expand acceptance for “ LGBT rights” where would you launch a public relations blitz? Well, the Human Rights Campaign , which calls itself “the largest national LGBT organizer in the South,” has decided the answer is Mississippi. Yes, deeply conservative Mississippi, where just 22 percent of the voters believe that so-called same-sex marriage should be legal. It’s the focus of a $310,000 PR campaign called “All God ’s Children” and it’s promoting tolerance for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgendered people, as well as their lifestyle decisions. The initiative includes television commercials, phone calls, door-to-door canvassing, and online advertising. It sounds a lot like the work that goes into an evangelistic campaign, as does the language being used: “We are all God’s children,” the campaign says. “It is only for God to judge, not us. We need to treat everyone with respect.” The campaign in the Magnolia State is part of a larger, $8.5 million effor

I’m sure you’ve heard the argument: A Christian who refuses to support  same-sex marriage is like a business owner in the segregated South who refused to serve black people. If you refuse to use your skill to profit off something that you find sinful, so the argument goes, are you not exactly like those businesses that turned African-Americans away? Here are two real-life examples: there was a  baker in Oregon  who refused to make a cake for a same-sex wedding . The Oregon Labor Commission found that this was illegal discrimination. The baker was forced to go out of business, or face fines of hundreds of thousands of dollars. He ended up closing his doors. Then there  was the photographer in New Mexico  who was asked to shoot a same-sex wedding. She refused, basically saying because she thought the marriage was sinful, she was not sure her pictures would present the ceremony in the best light, so to speak (she in turn recommended other photographers who could do the wedding).

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 1, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – By a two-to-one margin, blacks reject the notion that homosexual rights compare with the civil rights struggles of the 1950s and '60s, according to a new poll commissioned by Robert Johnson , the  founder  of Black Entertainment Television . The  poll  found that more blacks oppose redefining marriage and believe clergy are right to denounce homosexuality. In all, 55 percent of blacks deny the idea “that equal rights for gays are the same as equal rights for African Americans .” Only 28 percent believe they are the same. Despite the endorsement of prominent black leaders including the president, 42 percent of blacks still believe marriage should be “restricted to a man and a woman,” more than those who believe gays should be able to marry (40 percent). Also, more blacks believe “ministers who oppose homosexuality” are right (34 percent) than wrong (31 percent). However, the survey found the black com

An inauguration is always an historic occasion, a moment when the American people come together to celebrate the democracy we share. It was on the day that we as a nation gather to celebrate Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. , that President Obama decided to  divide the country  and to  demean the views of millions of fellow Americans , by trying to make support for gay marriage part of the national creed: We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls , and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk

Martin Luther King leaning on a lectern. Deutsch: 1964: Martin Luther King Português: Martin Luther King (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) There is a specter haunting America. It is the movement to promote and legalize homosexual marriage . The movement has adopted a cunning political strategy to appeal to everyone from the suburban soccer mom to the urban white-male liberal: It has packaged its demand for the radicalredefining of marriage in the rhetoric and imagery of the U.S. civil rights movement . This strategy, though utterly cynical and possibly racist, has enormous strategic utility. For what reasonable and fair-minded American would object to a movement that conjures up images of Martin Luther King Jr. along with pacifist marchers facing down unleashed attack dogs and men with fire hoses? In the aftermath of that struggle for racial justice, who today is prepared to risk being branded a bigot for opposing the homosexual’s activist agenda? This strategy is the most brilliant pla

Last week, I told you about the odds we face in the four battleground states—outspent, scorned in the media, with gay marriage advocates confidently predicting victory. But thanks to millions of Americans who've sacrificed their time and treasure to stand up for God's visions of marriage, pro-marriage messages are finally getting out: through churches and synagogues, through personal conversations, through social media, through letters to the editor—and through the ads crafted by NOM's own brilliant Frank Schubert. Now I'm here to tell you... Our Ads Are Working! Remember last week that I told you about the sudden turnaround in polling in Washington. Polls had gay marriage winning by as much as fourteen points, but after just one week of television ads the polls suddenly tightened, showing us within the margin of error and gay marriage advocates under 50 percent! This week, more good news: in Maryland , the miracle continues! Don't take my word for it,
