Official portrait of Vice President of the United States . (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Vice President Joe Biden equated gender ideology with civil rights in a recent speech, at the same time calling marriage supporters homophobic. Gays and lesbians should not fear "those shrill voices" working to oppose homosexual "marriage," Biden said, because Americans "have moved so far beyond them and their appeals to prejudice and fear and homophobia." The potential Democrat presidential contender also took the occasion to attack the character of candidates from across the political aisle, stating, "There's homophobes still left – most of them are running for president." Biden used his remarks before the annual dinner for the homosexual activist group the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) to advance his support for allowing those suffering from gender dysphoria to serve openly in the military. "No longer is there any question transgende

Canada’s Girl Scouts opens doors to ‘transgender’ members with radical new guidelines

Image
Canada ’s Girl Guide organization has produced guidelines for male-to-female transgender members that leaves it up to the troubled youths themselves to decide which washrooms they will use and whom they will sleep with on group excursions. “It’s the path of progress to destruction,” Gwen Landolt, the executive vice president of REAL Women of Canada , told   LifesiteNews. A former Girl Guide, Landolt said, “We took an oath back then to support God, family and country. Now it is a case of anything goes.” The “ Guidelines for Inclusion of Transgender Members ” released on October 5, closely resemble the draft transgender guidelines prepared for the Ottawa Carleton Public School District and published by LifeSiteNews in August. Both allow the youth in question, traditionally categorized as “gender dysphoric” by the psychoanalytic professions, to determine their gender for themselves. And both allow the “trans” youth to determine whose washroom they will use and whether they s

Federal judge orders Guam to issue gay ‘marriage’ licenses starting Tuesday

Image
Mere weeks before the Supreme Court rules on the issue, a federal judge has  demanded  that the island U.S. territory of Guam issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.  Guam is the first U.S. territory to be put in this situation, joining the majority of the 50 U.S. states. U.S. District Court judge Frances M. Tydingco-Gatewood, a George W. Bush appointee, issued the ruling Friday, notwithstanding the Supreme Court's expected decision at the end of the month on the constitutionality of redefining marriage.  Guam's governor, Eddie Calvo , opposes redefinition but declared, in light of Tydingco-Gatewood's ruling, "I have a solemn duty to uphold the law." Guam falls under the U.S. 9 th  Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled last year in favor of redefining marriage in Alaska, Arizona , California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington State.  However, at that time, Gov. Calvo refused to grant marriage licenses before hearing the Suprem

$840K raised for Indiana pizzeria shut down after gay activist-fueled death threats

WALKERTON, IN, April 8, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) -- Last week, the O'Connor family was targeted with death threats and online harassment that forced them to close the doors to their pizza restaurant. This week, Memories Pizza may be able to reopen thanks to tens of thousands of donations from social conservatives -- and at least one lesbian who has publicly defended the family's right to religious liberty . The O'Connors' story started when a local news reporter asked if they would theoretically reject service for a gay wedding ceremony . The owner, Kevin, said that while the restaurant serves all customers, they would not be able to participate in a same-sex ceremony. Militant gay activists  subsequently targeted  the family with death threats, viciously negative online reviews of the restaurant, and other harassment -- forcing the O'Connors to close the business they had owned for nine years. Thanks to several people associated with Dana Loesch 's

Ted Cruz slams courts for ‘ignoring the law’ by creating gay ‘marriage’

WASHINGTON, D.C. , March 18, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) -- U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz , R- TX , widely considered a potential contender for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, told an Iowa radio host last week that the growing number of federal court rulings striking down state laws defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman represent “a real danger to our liberty.” Explaining his plan to introduce a constitutional amendment to elicitly reserve the power to define marriage to individual states, Cruz told WHO presenter Jan Mickelson, “We have seen judges, and especially the Supreme Court , ignoring the law.” “If the courts were following the Constitution , we shouldn’t need a new amendment,” said Cruz, “but they are, as you put it quite rightly, 'making it up' right now and it’s a real danger to our liberty." “If the citizens of the state of Iowa or the citizens of the state of Texas want to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman … the sta

Utah cop who refused to lead gay parade urges love for homosexuals – police chief accuses him of hatred

SALT LAKE CITY, UT , February 26, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Last year, Salt Lake City police officer Eric Moutsos left his job after he was  suspended  for refusing to ride in the motorcycle brigade at the head of the city’s gay pride parade .  Now, after months of silence, Moutsos is speaking out, telling the  Associated Press  in an interview that his superiors violated his constitutional right to religious freedom when they tried to force him to take a public role in the event. Moutsos, 33, was placed on administrative leave for “discrimination” after he objected to his assignment at the front of the gay pride parade and asked to be placed in a less visible role. “It looks like we and I are in support of this parade,” Moutsos said he told his bosses. “I said I would feel the same way if this was an abortion parade. I would feel the same way if it was a marijuana parade.” Moutsos told the AP that he had no problem working the event in another capacity but felt that partici

Christian activist calls out Walmart’s ‘increasing capitulation’ to gay agenda

Image
A prominent Christian activist is sounding the alarm about what he sees as Walmart ’s “increasing capitulation” to the homosexual agenda , and calling on concerned citizens to contact the corporation to complain. Peter LaBarbera , president of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), alleged in a press release that Walmart is “going gay” in response to increasing public pressure from homosexual activists, donating thousands of dollars to pro-gay political groups and extending benefits to its employees’ same-sex “domestic partners.” LaBarbera particularly objected to a grant of between $25,000 and $50,000 that the company gave to the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund – a group that funds openly homosexual candidates for political office – and accused Walmart of turning its back on traditional values to pander to a vocal minority of homosexual activists. “Giving corporate dollars to ‘gay/trans’ groups like GLVF helps Walmart increase its score on the rigged ‘ Corporate

Former Navy chaplain faced death threats from gay activists during successful run for Colorado assembly

Image
A former military chaplain who was discharged for publicly praying in uniform has won election to the Colorado General Assembly , despite several alleged death threats from homosexual activists. Gordon Klingenschmitt, Ph.D., was elected on Tuesday with 70 percent of the vote. However, the victory was marred by  three death threats  the controversial opponent of same-sex "marriage" says were received in the last two months.   According to Klingenschmitt, the threats came in September and October, after he publicly called for religious liberty for Christian business owners when it came to same-sex "marriage" ceremonies. One of the two emails received by the then-candidate referenced shooting Christians in the head, while a voice message told Klingenschmitt that the caller "will slit your [expletive expletive] throat." In his report to the FBI , the former Navy chaplain said that he wanted to press charges if the people making the threats could b
