WESTMINSTER, February 5, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – At about 7 pm. London time tonight, 400 Members of Parliament voted in favor of a law re-defining marriage in Britain, with 175 MPs voting ‘no.’ The bill now goes to committee for further scrutiny. The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children , one of the leaders in the fight to defend marriage,  that the fight is not over, and that those involved in the fight for marriage are continuing to rally support at the grassroots.  SPUC commended the pro-family MPs who opposed the bill, who came largely from the government’s own backbench MPs. In today’s 6-hour debate, Tory MP Roger Gale summed up the position of those opposed to the change, saying it had nothing to do with “equality” but with the objective reality of marriage. “It is not possible to redefine marriage,” Gale said. “Marriage is the union between a man and a woman, has been historically, remains so. It is Alice in Wonderland territory, Orwellian almost, for

The “anti- bullying charity” has said that homosexuality should be made more visible and therefore “more human”. The group recently announced the appointment of gay activist Simon Blake as the new chairman, who comes to the job after fifteen years as a leading abortion lobbyist with Brook, the Family Planning Association , the Sex Education Forum and the National Children’s Bureau . Blake told PinkNews , “Evidence shows we will continue to breed bullying and fear unless gay sexuality becomes visible in schools. We need openness in the playground, in the classroom and in the behaviour of teachers. “Make sexuality human and it becomes an issue of fairness – something young people feel passionately about.”

LONDON, June 26, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Rewriting the definition of marriage would undermine a “sacred institution” recognized since “time immemorial,” said Britain’s Chief Rabbi , Lord Sacks , in comments to a government consultation on the issue. He warned also that attempts to exempt religious groups from conducting homosexual “weddings” would likely be challenged at the European Court of Human Rights . Although Jonathan Sacks, a member of the House of Lords , does not represent all Jews in Britain , he is the leader of the United Synagogue , the largest synagogue body in the UK and is Chief Rabbi of the British Orthodox synagogues. He is usually referred to in the press as the “Chief Rabbi” of Britain, and as such has huge influence in politics. The comments come in a submission to the consultation by the London Beth Din – the Chief Rabbi’s court, which rules on legal matters. It reiterated traditional orthodox teaching that homosexual activity is against Jewish l

‘Gay-affirming’ churches harming homosexuals, says Christian therapist hit with undercover sting

Image via Wikipedia Churches and psychological professional associations are harming people suffering from unwanted same-sex attraction , both spiritually and medically, by their acceptance of the “gay-affirming” ideology pushed by the homosexualist lobby, a Christian psychotherapist told LifeSiteNews.com in an interview today. Lesley Pilkington, a psychotherapist in the UK who  was famously the subject of  an undercover” sting” by a homosexual activist and journalist, said that there is a “huge gap” in public perception of homosexuality that has been created by a lack of balance in media representation and by the failure of churches to clearly articulate their objections. Pilkington is currently facing professional discipline for her efforts to offer therapy to people with unwanted same-sex attraction. Lesley Pilkington Churches “very rarely talk about sin and refuse ever to say that homosexual behaviour is a sin.” Only a minority of people in the churches in Britain, “speak ou

By 2011 that figure had dropped to around five out of ten. In 2000 four out of ten Britons said keeping money found in the street was never justified; in 2011, the number had dropped to fewer than two in ten. Only one in three condemned lying in their own interests, a slight drop from 2000. Published January 25th, the integrity survey focused not on increasing crime statistics, but on “low level dishonesty and anti-social activities” that indicate a general lowering of moral standards in society. It asked 2000 respondents’ attitudes towards a wide range of topics from lying,
