CHICAGO, September 19, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Chicago alderman and homosexual activist who in July went public with his efforts to block Chick-fil-A from opening a franchise because its president, Dan Cathy, supports traditional marriage, is claiming to have gotten his wish.  Alderman Joe Moreno According to  a statement  from Civil Right Agenda, a homosexual rights group, Moreno has confirmed that Chick-fil-A will no longer give money to “anti- gay organizations ” through its charitable foundation, WinShape, and has agreed to clarify “in an internal document that the company will treat every person equally, regardless of sexual orientation.” Moreno says he will no longer oppose Chick-fil-a’s efforts to open a location in Logan Square. However, it is unclear how much has really changed. The statement of respect touted by The Civil Rights Agenda (TCRA) as a new development was first issued back in July in response to the controversy over Cathy’s pro-marriage views,

Obama’s Big Mistake on Marriage

Thursday in Memphis, the town where Rev. Martin Luther King gave his life for civil rights, a group of black church leaders, many of whom marched with Rev. King, met to make a stand on marriage.  More than a dozen pastors and civil rights leaders called on Pres. Obama to reverse his decision and to tell him gay marriage is hijacking the civil rights movement. Here is the video of that historic meeting. “I marched for civil rights and I can tell you: I did not march one inch, one foot, one yard, one mile for same-sex marriage,” said Rev. Bill Owens. “No right is a civil right if it’s not square with God.”  (Bill Owens is also a liason to black churches for the National Organization for Marriage .)  The pastors, part of the Coalition for African- American Pastors, released a statement signed by major leaders of the black church–including Bishop George McKinney, who is on the governing board of the Church of God in Christ , the largest black Pentecostal denomination, and

A  Fox News   headline reads : “ North Carolina   voters  take up amendment banning  gay marriage .” So what’s the problem? Framing. Today’s vote in North Carolina is not about banning anything. Nothing will be made illegal as a result. In all fifty states across the nation two people of the same sex can live together, have their religious community bless their union, and have their workplace offer them various joint benefits — if the religious communities and workplaces in question so desire. Many liberal houses of worship and progressive businesses have voluntarily decided to do so. There’s nothing illegal about this. There’s no ban on it. What’s at issue is whether the government will recognize such unions as marriages — and then force every citizen and business to do so as well. This isn’t th

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Portrait of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Early in 2004, San Francisco  mayor Gavin Newsom  began giving out marriage licenses—illegally—to same-sex couples. One of the homosexuals who traveled to San Francisco in search of a marriage license explained his rationale succinctly: “I am tired of sitting at the back of the bus.”1 The allusion, of course, was to the famous story of  Rosa Parks .  Parks is the African- American  woman who, one day in 1955, boarded a racially segregated city bus in Montgomery, Alabama, sat down near the front, and refused the driver’s order to “move to the back of the bus.” Parks’ ac
