GAY TRUTH

After Democratic Senator Cory Booker relentlessly grilled then-candidate for Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on his views of gay marriage , conservative commentator Ben Shapiro mockingly imagined future questions that could be leveled at supporters of traditional marriage: "To verify your tolerance, I now ask that you publicly watch 'Brokeback Mountain' without making a face and that you cry at the end, sir!" I miss the days when parody was parody and didn't immediately occur in reality after the joke was made. MSNBC 's Joy Reid, a popular TV host , has come under fire for previous comments on an old blog about gay marriage and people she suspected of being gay, with a number of LGBT activists compiling her worst offences against "the community" and tweeting them out. Those comments included Reid's musings on the gayness or lack thereof of various public figures, as well as an apparently "transphobic" comment that involved her ac

WASHINGTON , November 29, 2011 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - As  polls show  Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul   tied for first place  in Iowa , media outlets have struggled to understand his distinctive stance on the issues, including same-sex “marriage.” Sheldon Alberts of Canada ’s National Post , for example,  wrote Monday  that “Paul believes: Gays should be allowed to marry.” Ron Paul Photo: Steve Jalsevac/ LifeSiteNews The truth is more complex…and perhaps confusing. Congressman Paul’s view of same-sex “marriage” can best be summed up in one phrase: states rights . Ron Paul believes homosexuals should be allowed to “marry”…in states that legalize the practice. At the same time, Paul is a lifelong Christian who says he personally believes in traditional marriage. In 2004,  Paul said  on the House floor, “I oppose federal efforts to redefine marriage as something other than a union between one man and one woman.” In August,  Paul repeated , “I think that marriages should be bet

Even though people on both sides of the issue deny it, it is increasingly obvious that homosexuality is dominating a new place on the scale of American political life. Even in conservative circles, prominent voices – some of whom I call friends, all of whom I respect – continually find themselves divided on not only the issue, but also how people of conscience respond to it. In recent weeks, David Horowitz , president of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, and Robert Knight of Concerned Women for America , have been "duking it out" on the issue of whether or not prominent faith-bas Image via Wikipedia ed conservatives ( Gary Bauer , Paul Weyrich, Sandy Rios , et al.) should have confronted RNC Chairman Marc Racicot about his meetings with the Human Rights Campaign and Log Cabin Republicans .

According to reports, Coulter charmed her audience of 150 at the HomoCon fundraiser for GOProud with a number of jokes, admitting that it must have been difficult to come out of the closet and tell their parents that they were conservatives. But then the outspoken pundit said to her audience, “I should warn you: I've never failed to talk gays out of gay marriage." Talking Points Memo reported that Coulter explained to the crowd that she supports marriage as the union of a man and a woman, because the institution is fundamentally about the procreation of children.
