GAY TRUTH

Bermuda 's Premier Michael Dunkley has announced plans to let all Bermudans vote on whether homosexuals should be included in the country's definition of marriage , in response to a strong pro-marriage lobby from a church-led coalition on the one hand and a court decision that same-sex couples must be treated the same as heterosexual ones on the other. A homosexual rights lawyer wasted no time in declaring that any law passed in response to a Christian lobby group might be automatically unconstitutional. Dunkley announced that the government would hold the non-binding referendum "in order to get the widest possible reach of views from the people." In the same statement, he said, "As a final and important point, this Government is of the view that marriage is a union between a man and a woman." The referendum announcement is the latest development in the same-sex issue, sparked by the landmark 2015 Supreme Court decision in the Bermuda Bred case, decla

Bleijie has capitulated on marriage and is seen as a blow to a large part of his support base who are conservatives.  The capitulation of former Queensland Attorney General Jarrod Bleijie on the meaning of marriage will come as a big disappointment for people who voted for him, according to Australian Christian Lobby Queensland director Wendy Francis. “Throughout his career, Mr Bleijie has actively sought the votes of people who believe in the right of children to wherever possible be raised by their parents. “To now take a position on marriage that mandates a family structure denying this basic right to children is a blow to his social justice credentials and a breach of trust to voters.” Ms Francis said Mr Bleijie had played into the hands of those described by Paul Kelly in the Weekend Australian yesterday as seeking to “drive religion into the shadows”. “At a time when the public are very cynical about politicians, it is disappointing to see a politician jettisoning his

As the 5 th  Circuit Court of Appeals considers whether to strike down laws in three states banning same-sex “ marriage ,” four adult children of homosexual parents have filed court briefings arguing that government-sanctioned homosexual unions could lead to disaster for thousands of kids. Katy Faust, Dawn Stefanowicz, B.N. Klein, and Robert Oscar Lopez, who were all raised by homosexual parents, each submitted briefs to the 5 th  Circuit opposing the legalization of same-sex “marriage.”  Recounting childhood memories of households made deeply dysfunctional by their parents’ sexual appetites and the radical subculture that went along with their “gay” identities, all four argued that redefining marriage to include homosexual couples will likely lead to the exploitation and abuse of countless children for political and personal gain. “I grew up with a parent and her partner[s] in an atmosphere in which gay ideology was used as a tool of repression, retribution and abuse,”  wrote

The majority of the Church of Scotland ’s presbyteries have voted to allow local congregations to appoint ministers in same-sex civil partnerships. The measure is likely to be brought to the Kirk’s General Assembly in May for final approval. The denomination’s 46 presbyteries voted 32 to 14 in favor of the measure, with the Kirk revealing the results on the same day that the new law legalizing same-sex "marriage" in Scotland came into effect. The General Assembly instituted a two-year moratorium in 2009 on homosexual issues within the Kirk. In 2011 the moratorium was lifted and a theological commission was created to consider the ordination of openly and actively homosexual clergy, the blessing of same-sex unions, and to allow homosexual ministers and deacons ordained before May 2009 to be given pastoral responsibilities. The 2009 moratorium came after a firestorm of controversy leading up to the General Assembly’s decision to approve the appointment of openly

Every poll reveals that Americans are gradually shifting away from an understanding of marriage as being a lifelong union of one man and one woman, to one in which marriage is defined only by the whims of its participants. If we are going to safeguard the future of marriage – as defined by God and supported by Natural Law – and secure the healthiest environment for children to grow up, we cannot rely on our political leaders or the secular media to speak the truth about marriage and its importance. On June 19, thousands of Americans from various religions, races and political parties participated in the 2nd annual March for Marriage in Washington, D.C. Participants and speakers called upon the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government to protect traditional marriage. As we reported shortly after the March, the opposition was much lighter this year, which made it a more peaceful event. The reason we’re even having a conversation that ten years ago everyone said

ROME – The majority of those in Italy who identify themselves as “gay” have no interest in “gay marriage” or civil unions, a gay Catholic writer told  LifeSiteNews in an interview this weekend. “I would like to reveal something that perhaps no one has the courage to say; that Arcigay [the national Italian homosexualist lobby] represents only a small percentage of what people with homosexual impulses think. Someone has to say that the King is naked!” The popular Rome-based Catholic blogger who identifies himself only as “ Eliseo del Deserto” (Elisha of the Desert)  continues a one-man campaign  in favour of a different direction for gay people from that envisioned by the global homosexualist movement: one of voluntary chastity and reconciliation with God, a path that he maintains is the only way to personal peace and emotional growth. “Civil unions? No thank you! Certainly there are rights that must be recognized in cohabitation, but the family is another thing. Marriag

ROME , May 12, 2014 – The municipal authorities of the city of Crotone in the far south of Italy have voted to allow resident same-sex partners to register as “ civil unions ,” despite the fact that there is no provision in Italian law for such recognition. Opponents of the move have called it “futile” and ideologically motivated, since such registries would have no legal reality. On May 6, the town council  approved a resolution  that said the intention was to “provide for the protection and support of civil unions in order to overcome situations of discrimination and promoting integration into the social, cultural and economic development of the territory.” “Areas of concern” for the resolution included “housing, health and social services, youth policy, sports, education, school and educational services, rights and participation, transportation.” It says that the new rule will allow the registry of “civil unions” for “two persons of different sex or of the same sex and
