GAY TRUTH

Michael Bradley ,  a young Notre Dame philosophy graduate student , pushes back against the powerful governor of Massachusetts Deval Patrick , when the later argues that gay marriage is a civil right like interracial marriage : "Patrick first offers an argument that eludes this central question while simultaneously doing something rather insidious: employing the rhetoric of, and therefore inviting comparison to, the black civil rights movement in order to dress the same-sex marriage debate as just the next civil rights cause in marriage's sullied history. Such a move is predictable, old, tired and just a poor argument to make. In ruling the prohibition of interracial marriages unconstitutional  in 1967, the Supreme Court simply acknowledged that a man and woman of different ethnic backgrounds had all along been able to, in reality, form the sort of relationship that marriage is. That is, a white man and a black woman (for example) were just as able as a white man an

Rainbow flag. Symbol of gay pride. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) During a large public survey on Homosexual marriage, when asked to rate the importance of same sex marriage as an issue, relative to five other topical issues, same sex marriage  ranked lowest in importance, even lower than the other social issue   of voluntary euthanasia. With 61% of the sample believing that the  same sex marriage debate is a distraction from more important  issues, and only 1 in 7 in strongly support of changing the Marriage  Act, there is a warning here for politicians to ensure that resources   and time are not diverted from other more pressing issues of  domestic importance. (6) The survey also shows that a significant proportion of those in favour of same sex marriage also share the same concerns as those not in   favour of same sex marriage, in the following areas: - How children are raised, with an acknowledgement that being raised by one’s biological mother and father is the norm which  should

Vincent Autin and Bruno Boileau have become the first gay couple to wed in France , just days after president Francois Hollande signed the country's same-sex marriage bill into law . The men, aged 40 and 29, exchanged vows in front of about 600 guests at city hall in the southern city of Montpellier .  Montpellier mayor Helene Mandroux conducted the wedding ceremony , which was attended by dozens of members of the public and journalists. This was a political wedding with the knowledge that over 1 million French people gathered over the weekend to protest against this immoral law. "I cried when ( French president ) Hollande passed the law and I am still crying," she said. "I am proud of them." Montpellier is a bohemian city that boasts of being France's most gay-friendly town. Riot police on guard Outside the ceremony, up to 100 riot police were deployed to deal with any potential protests to protect legislated immorality. The ceremony marked

With two more American states legalizing  unmarriage,  with the Boy Scouts organization adopting a wholly unworkable compromise, with media and political figures in America throwing up their hands and throwing in the towel, it would be easy to get discouraged over marriage. But look to France . There, the amazing “Manif pour Tous” (Demonstration for All) is growing, not diminishing, in intensity. It is a movement largely composed of young people. For the fourth time in a year, pro-marriage demonstrators hit the streets of Paris in the hundreds of thousands. They brought together Catholics and Evangelicals, Jews, Muslims, and some atheists for marriage. They even recruited gay Frenchmen who understand that “everyone needs a mother and father.” One of the strongest arguments made by this Manif is that for the rights of children. Not only do they have a right to a mother and father, but they have a natural right  not to be treated as commodities.  Because of our “Anglo-Saxon

On the same day as up to a million traditional marriage supporters  marched  in Paris against France's new gay 'marriage' law this past weekend, a sex-saturated film about lesbian lovers took home the country's top film award: the Cannes Film Festival 's Palme d’Or. The French film , entitled in English “Blue is the Warmest Color,” focuses on a 15-year-old French girl who falls in love with an older art student. It has been as much talked about for its no-holds barred graphic sex scenes, as for the quality of the story or the acting. According to the UK’s  Daily Mail , one lengthy sex scene, clocking in at nearly 12 minutes, leaves “nothing to the imagination.”  A writer for Variety said the film contains "the most explosively graphic lesbian sex scenes in recent memory."  The over-the-top sexuality was viewed by some as a barrier to the film’s success, but on Sunday the Cannes jury announced that the director and two lead actresses were to

 All of France , especially French Catholics, were deeply shocked to hear on Tuesday afternoon that French historian and essayist Dominique Venner had shot himself in the mouth on the steps of the main altar in the transept of Notre-Dame Cathedral , in the heart of Paris. Only minutes after the event, mainstream media described him as an “anti-gay marriage activist” who had prepared his gesture as a protest against the “Taubira law” legalizing same-sex “marriage,” which was signed into law last Saturday. While Dominique Venner certainly had voiced his sincere opposition to this social revolution, his writing reveal that it is completely inaccurate to present him as a Catholic, and his purpose was clearly not a call to action against homosexual “marriage." Dominique Venner was no Christian. He was, instead, protesting the massive influx of Muslim immigrants to France, which he considered a form of population replacement, and he hailed paganism and Nietzsche's will

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Hours after the French Constitutional Counsel approved the gay ‘marriage’ law, President François Hollande signed it into law together with the prime minister, the minister for Health and Social affaire, Minister of Justice Christiane Taubira, and the deputy minister for the family. Symbolically, the law, known as the “Taubira law” after Minister of Justice Taubira, who introduced it, will bear the date of May 17th, 2013: the “International Day against Homophobia.” The decision by the Constitutional Counsel to release their verdict on the law the same day as a global pro-LGBT event is being seen as a sign that the Counsel, which is supposed to play a role similar to that of the American Supreme Court in verifying that new legislation is compatible with the French Constitution, made a political and par

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) France has become the 14th country to legalise immoral homosexual marriage , with president Francois Hollande signing it into law following months of bitter political debate and huge ongoing protests. Mr Hollande acted a day after the Constitutional Council threw out a legal challenge by the opposition, which had been the last obstacle to passing the bill into law. However, he has underestimated the community resistance and anger to this legislation. Unfortunately, the legislation also legalises gay adoption . This is a dangerous social experiment with future social repercussions. Ignoring the growing anger in the community, french justice minister Christiane Taubira , steered the legislation through parliament, said the first homosexual marriages could be celebrated as early as June. But opponent
