GAY TRUTH

WASHINGTON, D.C. , February 10, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Same-sex “marriage” advocates are one step closer to full federal recognition of their relationships after Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the Obama administration would provide benefits and services regardless of state laws about marriage. On Saturday, Holder said that the federal government would “strive to ensure that same-sex marriages receive the same privileges, protections and rights as opposite-sex marriages.” A Human Rights Campaign blog post  said  this “will mean that the federal government will treat married lesbian and gay couples the same as heterosexual couples when they do things like file for bankruptcy, testify in court or visit family in prison.” The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which was signed by President Clinton two decades ago, was overturned by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) last year. The majority ruled in favor of state independence on the matter, over

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) WASHINGTON, D.C. , January 29, 2014  – The annual State of the Union Address is a time for the president to unveil his political agenda for the coming year and ask Congress to pass it. But President Obama largely showed the nation how he would work around the institution through executive orders and regulations – boasting of his dedication to homosexuality. At no point did he directly address abortion, something he avoided last year as well. He took the opportunity of the nation's most-watched political speech to say that ObamaCare is “fixing” the nation's health care sytem. However, nestled in a paragraph about how First Lady Michelle Obama “sets a good example” for the country, Obama said, “Across the country, we’re partnering with mayors, governors, and state legislatures on issues from homelessness to marriage equality.” “The point is, th

 Many supporters of “ marriage equality ” thought homosexual activists sought to redefine the age-old institution in order to receive the same recognition and approbation as heterosexual couples. But many  homosexual “marriage' advocates wanted federal benefits . Now a Democratic Congresswoman has introduced a bill to open the federal spigot to same-sex couples. Rep. Linda Sanchez , D-CA Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-CA, says her " Social Security Equality Act of 2013" would confer spousal, survivor, and death benefits to couples who live in a state that recognizes same-sex "marriages" or civil unions. If enacted, its terms would apply to 18 states and the nation's capital. "Same-sex couples pay into Social Security over the course of their working lives just like other Americans," she said. Although the federal benefits angle of the “equality” struggle remained obscured from the general public, LGBT political organizations made the la

July 29, 2013 ( Breakpoint ) - A few years ago, Lanny Davis , former strategist for Bill Clinton, called on members of Congress to sign a civility pledge. “I will be civil in my public discourse and behavior,” the pledge read. “I will be respectful of others whether or not I agree with them. I will stand against incivility when I see it.” Well, I have to wonder whether Davis signed the pledge himself, because just a few days ago he wrote some deeply uncivil things in his column, titled “Purple Nation,” about people who don't share his opinion about same-sex “marriage.” Davis was responding to a letter by N. Michael Nunn , a member of the Sinai Temple in Los Angeles. Nunn wrote that for the Temple to officiate over unions of homosexual couples and call such relationships “sanctified” “is unacceptable to a sound mind.” “ Homosexuality ,” Nunn added, “is explicitly condemned in Scripture.” It “has been categorically and passionately rejected by all classical Jewish legal and e

Three recent articles on the online journal  Public Discourse  examine different ways in which the institution of marriage would be affected if it is redefined to disregard the norm of sexual complementarity. “ Yes, Marriage Will Change—and Here’s How ,” by University of Texas professor of sociology Mark Regnerus , predicts the effects of redefinition on marital relationships. Regnerus argues that the redefinition of marriage would, among other things, erode marital norms. The expectation of exclusivity and fidelity, for example, would give way to greater acceptance of non-exclusive or “monogamish” marriages: This, I predict, will be same-sex marriage’s signature effect on the institution—the institutionalization of monogamish as an acceptable marital trait.… [T]he legitimacy newly accorded [same-sex] marital unions spells opportunity for men everywhere to bend the boundaries. In “ Children Need Our Marriage Tradition ,” John M. Smoot, a former trial court judge of Bo

The Pew Research Center came out with a report this week that told us what we already knew — that the media is hugely in the tank for same-sex 'marriage': "In a period marked by Supreme Court deliberations on the subject, the news media coverage provided a strong sense of momentum towards legalizing same-sex marriage, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center. Stories with more statements supporting same-sex marriage outweighed those with more statements opposing it by a margin of roughly 5-to-1." When it comes to marriage the media doesn't cover the news, it tries to shape it. And yet, the Pew same report observed that comments about marriage on the social media platform Twitter were far more even (because social media more accurately reflects the real conversations taking place everyday across America than your average big-city newsroom): On social media, the opinions expressed on Twitter were closely split between those that supported (31%) and

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 18, 2013 ( Heritage Foundation ) - Amid all the emotion over same-sex marriage, the limited-government argument for marriage as uniting a man and a woman keeps getting short shrift. It fell to me to make that case during a discussion of marriage law and the Supreme Court with the worthy S.E. Cupp on a recent installment of “Real News from The Blaze,” and I’d like to flesh out those thoughts here. For starters, virtually every political community has regulated male-female sexual relationships. This is not because government cares about romance as such. Government recognizes male-female sexual relationships because these alone produce new human beings. For highly dependent infants, there is no path to physical, moral, and cultural maturity—no path to personal responsibility—without a long, delicate process of ongoing care and supervision to which mothers and fathers bring unique gifts. Unless children mature, they never will become healthy, upright, product

Leon Kass, former chairman of the President's Council on Bioethics (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) WASHINGTON, D.C., March 22, 2013 ( Heritage Foundation ) - Severe flaws and limitations exist in the scientific research into the relatively new phenomenon of same-sex parenting , argue preeminent political scientists Leon R. Kass and Harvey C. Mansfield in  a brief filed with the Supreme Court  by Nelson Lund. The scholars urge the Court not to redefine marriage based on the new and inconclusive research. The academic studies on same-sex parenting purporting to show “no differences” are, Kass and Mansfield argue, “subject to severe constraints arising from limited data” and a lack of “replicable experiments.” They argue: Even if same-sex marriage and child rearing by same-sex couples were far more common than they now are, large amounts of data collected over decades would be required before any responsible researcher could make meaningful scientific estimates of the effec
