Homosexual marriage sank like a stone

Image
"Sank Like a Stone" — that's how same-sex marriage faired in Australia this past week. Australia held elections for Prime Minister the other day, but it was as much a referendum on whether the Aussies would redefine marriage or not. Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd nailed his hopes of winning to a promise of introducing legislation to redefine marriage within the first 100 days of returning to office. As was reported , the pro-marriage platform of the former Prime Minister "sank beneath the waves" of the pro-marriage majority down under. You may remember I had traveled to Australia in August for the World Congress of Families , and I could not be happier for the friends I made on that trip and our pro-marriage and family allies there. It's a great victory for marriage, and a win worth celebrating across the globe. It also serves as a reminder that when people are given the right to vote on marriage, they invariably vote to preserve the true and

Homosexual Marriage and Indiana

As you know, last week the Supreme Court handed down two terrible decisions on marriage. But the Court stopped short of fabricating a "right" to redefine marriage in our Constitution, choosing instead to allow the states to settle the question. This means winning or losing marriage is still up to us, The People . Within hours of last week's rulings, Governor Mike Pence of Indiana issued a statement calling upon the General Assembly to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot for the people of Indiana to vote on next November. NOM has been strongly supportive of this effort since 2011, when the first vote to put a Marriage Protection Amendment on the ballot passed both chambers by large, bipartisan margins. If you do not live in Indiana please forward this to your friends and family who do (or use the social media sharing buttons at the top and bottom of this email) and make a pledge to support our critical work . Over the past few years NOM has been battling i

Polygamy and Homosexual Marriage

Image
Polygamy involves the marriage of more than two persons at the same time. It can take a number of forms. Some are: Polygyny: the marriage of one man with multiple wives. Polyandry: the marriage of one woman with multiple men. Polyamory: An umbrella term that describes a romantic and/or sexual relationship involving multiple partners at the same time. The participants may or may not consider themselves to be married to each other. During debates on the Federal Marriage Amendment in the U.S. and same-sex marriage in both Canada and the U.S. , many opponents to SSM have expressed the belief that if SSM were legalized, polygamy would inevitably follow. For example: Social commentator Stanley Kurtz argued that: "Among the likeliest effects of gay marriage is to take us down a slippery slope to legalized polygamy and 'polyamory' ( group marriage ). Marriage will be transformed into a variety of relationship contracts, linking two, three, or more individuals (however weak

Time to support NOM

National Organization for Marriage (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Let's be clear about something: the homosexual lobby and their puppet politicians' assault on Chick-fil-A is just the beginning. You see, wealthy homosexual activists, such as the so-called Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation , are not merely threatening, bullying , and attempting to destroy a great American business—they are declaring war on anyone who disagrees with their radical agenda. And why? To bully and intimidate the media and enough politicians and activist judges to force homosexual marriage as the law of the land—thereby destroying the time-tested, God ordained, traditional institution of marriage . If the homosexual lobby gets its way—and it might if people of faith don't immediately stand up to their bullying tactics—gay "marriage" will be imposed as the law of the land and the consequences will be profound. Consider: Young children will be taught in public scho

Bye Bye Cheerios?: General Mills announces support for gay ‘marriage’

ST. PAUL, Minnesota , June 15, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Minnesota-based food giant General Mills has publicly come out in opposition to a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage in Minnesota . Currently same-sex “marriage” is against the law in Minnesota. However, in November, Minnesotans will vote on the amendment which would insert the true definition of marriage in the state constitution, making it much more difficult to introduce gay “marriage” in the future. According to a post put up Thursday, June 14 on the General Mills  company blog  by Ken Charles , vice president of global diversity and inclusion, “General Mills CEO Ken Powell on Wednesday addressed 400 local gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender professionals and announced that the company opposes the amendment.” “While General Mills doesn’t normally take positions on ballot measures, this is a business issue that impacts our employees,” Charles said in his post. “I am proud to see ou

Gay marriage advocates want to change marriage completely

Image via Wikipedia This is the article from Beyond Marriage, a group who want to destroy the concept of historic marriage. WARNING: THIS IS THE FUTURE IF WE DON'T ACT NOW! "The time has come to reframe the narrow terms of the marriage debate in the United States . Conservatives are seeking to enshrine discrimination in the U.S. Constitution through the Federal Marriage Amendment .  But their opposition to same-sex marriage is only one part of a broader pro-marriage, “family values” agenda that includes abstinence-only sex education, stringent divorce laws, coercive marriage promotion policies directed toward women on welfare, and attacks on reproductive freedom. Moreover, a thirty-year political assault on the social safety net has left households with more burdens and constraints and fewer resources. Meanwhile, the LGBT movement has recently focused on marriage equality as a stand-alone issue. While this strategy may secure rights and benefits for some LGBT
