Our hearts go out to the shooting victim, his family, and his co-workers,” said the leaders in a statement Wednesday afternoon, hours after the shooting took place. One security guard employed by the pro-family conservative group was shot in the arm after confronting a heavily armed man who attempted to enter the group’s headquarters, reportedly while making inflammatory statements about FRC’s views. The suspected shooter is in custody, while the guard, identified as head security guard Le

Target releases ad featuring same-sex ‘married’ couple

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota , July 30, 2012 – Target is promoting their wedding registry with a focus on homosexual “marriage”. A new ad released last month depicts two men holding hands with the slogan, “Be yourself, together.” The retail giant has angered both pro-family and pro-homosexual activists as they have apparently flip-flopped in their approach to same-sex “marriage”. In 2010 Target faced some backlash from homosexual political groups after they gave $150,000 to MN Forward , a political group that supported Tom Emmer , the pro-life, pro-marriage Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota . More recently they have been criticized for their decision not to sell an album by Frank Ocean , who recently came out as homosexual. But last month the chain began selling same-sex “marriage” wedding cards, and they have supported pride parades in Minneapolis for a number of years. In May, Target sold gay pride t-shirts ad gave the proceeds to the Family Equality Council , a h

Target sells gay ‘wedding’ cards

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota , July 18, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Target is now selling greeting cards for gay ‘marriages,’ as of the middle of June, adding to their previous support for the homosexual agenda . The cards, produced by Carlton Cards , include phrases like “Mr. & Mr.” and “Two very special women, one very special love.” “Target is focused on diversity and inclusivity,” spokesperson for Target Molly Snyder said, adding that they offer “wedding cards relevant for everyone,” including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender couples. Target faced some backlash from homosexual political groups in 2010 after they gave $150,000 to MN Forward , a political group that supported Tom Emmer , the pro-life, pro-marriage Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota . However, Target has been supporting gay pride events in Minneapolis for a number of years, and in May sold gay pride t-shirts and gave the proceeds to the Family Equality Council , a homosexual political

LNP stand against Homosexual surrogacy supported by latest research

English: Campbell Newman. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Two studies released Sunday may act like brakes on popular social-science assertions that  gay parents  are the same as — or maybe better than — married, mother-father parents.  With the Queensland LNP ( Liberal National Party ) under Campbell Newman , being abused and challenged by homosexual advocates and the liberal newspapers supporting homosexual surrogacy, as they seek to reverse previously damaging Labor surrogacy laws , these two independent studies support the LNP position. It would appear the Andrew Robinson holds the best view in the Queensland Parliament. “The empirical claim that no notable differences exist must go,”  Mark Regnerus , a sociology professor at the  University of Texas at Austin , said in his study in  Social Science  Research. Using a new, “gold standard” data set of nearly 3,000 randomly selected American young adults,  Mr. Regnerus  looked at their lives on 40 measures of social, emotional and re

Two studies released Sunday may act like brakes on popular social-science assertions that gay parents are the same as — or maybe better than — married, mother-father parents. “The empirical claim that no notable differences exist must go,” Mark Regnerus , a sociology professor at the University of Texas at Austin , said in his study in Social Science Research. Using a new, “gold standard” data set of nearly 3,000 randomly selected American young adults, Mr. Regnerus looked at their lives on 40 measures of social, emotional and relationship outcomes. He found that, when compared with adults raised in married, mother-father families, adults raised by lesbian mothers had negative outcomes in 24 of 40 categories, while adults raised by gay fathers had negative outcomes in 19 categories. Findings such as these do not support claims that there are “no differences” between gay parenting and heterosexual, married parents, said Mr. Regnerus , who helped develop the New Family Structures St

Target blocking e-mails from AFA urging them to stop supporting gay ‘marriage’

June 6, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Target is blocking e-mails from people opposed to its new campaign to support the homosexual agenda , according to the American Family Association (AFA). Target launched a campaign at the end of May to raise money for Family Equality Council ( FEC ), a group that is opposing legislation that would protect the traditional definition of marriage. The massive realtor is selling t-shirts through June, which is called National Pride Month, with gay pride flags and slogans on them. The shirts were designed by musician Gwen Stefani . Target says it will donate 100% of the proceeds from this campaign to Family Equality Council, up to $120,000. In response, AFA asked its supporters to send emails to the company’s chairman. AFA provided a draft e-mail urging the company to stop supporting homosexuality that supporters can send from their website. However, an update on the  AFA’s website  says that Target is blocking emails that supporters

Target flip-flops, funds same-sex ‘marriage’ organization

Image
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA , May 23, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Two years after funding a pro-marriage politician, the Target Corporation has decided to fund an organization dedicated to same-sex “marriage.” Target has announced it will make a donation  worth up to $120,000  to the Family Equality Council (FEC), a homosexual political advocacy group. LGBT groups put Target in a bulls-eye after it donated money to a pro-marriage candidate in 2010. In the month of June, the chain will donate the proceeds from  online sales of a special collection of shirts, including one  designed by singer Gwen Stefani , to the organization.  The Minneapolis-based retailer faced backlash in 2010 after it gave $150,000 to MN Forward , a political group that supported Tom Emmer , the pro-life, pro-marriage Republican candidate  for governor of Minnesota. He narrowly lost to pro-abortion Democrat Mark Dayton . At the time, the corporation resisted calls to make an equal contribution to a ho
