Homosexual EDNA legislation immorally supported by Apple

Image
APPLE chief executive Tim Cook joined the White House in backing a bill to ban workplace discrimination against gay and transgender employees. "At Apple, we try to make sure people understand that they don't have to check their identity at the door," Cook wrote in an opinion column in the Wall Street Journal . "As we see it, embracing people's individuality is a matter of basic human dignity and civil rights." Cook said he supports the Employment Nondiscrimination Act pending in the US Senate which he said would, "at long last protect workers against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity ". He also called on the House of Representatives to bring it to the floor for a vote. The problem with this bill is that it removes authority from the employer and forces them to possibly employ people whose lifestyle is opposite to and from the values of the company. Would a Democrat employ a Republican man or woman. The answer i

Gay groups: Google Plus, iTunes must censor Christian smartphone app to cure homosexuality

Image
Homosexual lobby groups are outraged at Google for having an app that claims to be able to cure unwanted same-sex attraction in 60 days , available at its Google Play online store. The self-help app is from the organization called Setting Captives Free , which produces a series of interactive courses that deal with addictive behaviors including sexual impurity, overeating, substance abuse, gambling, and smoking. The group claims to have helped over half-a-million people overcome unwanted habits. The contentious app is called Door of Hope. "You have arrived at the Door of Hope, the 60-day interactive course that will teach you to enjoy a newfound relationship with the Lord and how to find freedom from homosexuality. It is possible, and you can learn how," the brief description of the app states. PinkNews reported that a homosexual group calling itself Gaylesta (The LGBTQ Psychotherapist Association of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area ) sent a statement to Google co

Ben & Jerry’s re-names ice cream flavor to support gay ‘marriage’ in England

Image via Wikipedia March 14, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - As the UK Government moves in the direction of legalizing same-sex “marriage,” Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream has launched a lobbying campaign in support of the move that includes re-naming one of their ice cream flavors . British Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone announced last September that the government was committed to legalizing same sex “marriage” by 2015, and would launch a consultation regarding the issue this spring. In anticipation of the consultation, which will begin later this month, Ben & Jerry’s announced yesterday that the flavor “Oh! My! Apple Pie !” will be called “Apple-y Ever After” in England. Its re-designed tub features a wedding cake decorated with rainbow stripes and topped with two groom figures. “Since our humble beginning 34 years ago, Ben & Jerry’s has been an advocate for equal rights,” said  a statement  on the company’s website about the change. “We were one of the first companies

Playing chicken with free speech: an intolerant boycott

Image
Image via Wikipedia ( Breakpoint.org ) -  Is giving away chicken sandwiches an act of homophobic bigotry? According to certain homosexual groups and websites, it is: when you give away sandwiches to people attending a conference on  marriage .You heard that right. Gay-rights groups are slandering and boycotting the well-known national fast-food chain Chick-fil-A — you know, the one that says we should “eat more chicken.” That’s because one of its restaurants decided to donate some sandwiches to a February marriage conference sponsored by the Pennsylvania Family Institute, which opposes so-called gay “marriage.” That’s it. There was absolutely no attempt to exclude anyone or to engage in gay-bashing. Responding to the boycott and the attacks, Chick-fil-A, which according to the The New York Times is “among only a handful of large American companies with conservative religion built into its corporate ethos,” says that it serves and values all people and treats “everyone with honor, d

Charity bullied by Gays

A campaign spearheaded by LGBT rights and women’s rights groups Change.org and AllOut.org, encouraging companies to drop their ties to the  Charity Give Back Group  (formerly the Christian Values Network), unsurprisingly has the Religious Right up in arms. The CGBG “operates a sort of online mall, donating a portion of each purchase to religious nonprofits,” Michelle Goldberg   explains . “Among them are conservative organizations like Focus on the Family , The Family Research Council , Promise Keepers , and a number of anti-ab Image via Wikipedia ortion crisis pregnancy centers .” The  campaign  to get businesses to opt out of CGBG’s program has been very successful, with over 200 companies such as Delta, Apple and Macy’s dropping out of the program so far. Focus on the Family is now  encouraging its members  to write to the companies that have ended their ties with CGBG. And today, the Family Research Council launched the “ Resist Discrimination ” campaign, demanding compani e

Facebook, Google, social media sites ‘actively’ censor Christian content: study

Image
Image via CrunchBase A new study has found that Google and other major social media sites such as Facebook have “actively” censored Christian and conservative viewpoints. The first report , conducted by  National Religious Broadcasters  (NRB) and the  American Center for Law and Justice , examined the policies and practices of several major Internet-interactive “new media” communications platforms and service providers, including Apple and its iTunes App Store , Facebook, Google, and others. Many of the top social media sites have been found to be "actively" censoring Christian viewpoints. The study found that some of the new media technology companies have outright banned Christian content, and that all social media sites, except Twitter, have speech policies more restrictive than the free speech rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. According to the study, seven of the major social media sites have banned “hate speech,” a term that the study authors point out “is o

Apple bows to Homosexual Change.org lies and distortions

Image via Wikipedia Author: Chuck Colson . The greatest threat to religious liberty and free speech in the United States is on the attack again. I’m not talking about Islamic extremism or the New Atheists.  No, as dangerous as these anti-Christian ideologies are to our freedoms, they take a back seat right now to the ruthless, methodical attacks by gay-rights groups on anyone who disagrees with them. Let me explain. Last year, you’ll recall that we created an iPhone app for the Manhattan Declaration . The app would allow users to read, sign, and share the Manhattan Declaration and its defense of human life, traditional marriage, and religious freedom.  Apple said the app was “free from objectionable material.” But when a group that supports so-called “gay marriage” protested that the Declaration promoted “hate” and “homophobia” and was “anti-gay,” (which it wasn’t), Apple removed the app from its iPhone store. Since then I’ve been warning you that the Manhattan Declaration w
