Transgenderism a thought experiment - gone bad

Image
A recent  piece  in  The Federalist  by Stella Morabito captures some of the political and statistical realities surrounding transgenderism.  The ease with which societal elites in academia, medicine, and Hollywood sanction a child's war against his own body and call it healthy, normal, or something to celebrate has its foundation in the contraceptive revolution of our culture.  Women were told that the very thing that most marks them as a woman, their wondrous reproductive systems, their fertility, is their enemy.  If only they can break free from the tyranny of their own bodies, they will be free.  But we cannot break free from our bodies without further destruction. Hormonal contraception has brought us all kinds of "liberation" - cancer, unintended miscarriages, the masking of symptoms of reproductive disease until it may be too late to treat or mitigate, changes to our pheromone profile that attract and repel different types of sexual mates, the commodification

Comedian: Cross Hollywood’s gay mafia, and ‘You’re not going to get your movie directed’

HOLLYWOOD, CA ,  – Longtime comedian Adam Carolla has warned the Hollywood blacklist is back, this time for anyone who runs afoul of homosexual activists. If an artist does not support the homosexual political agenda, Carolla said, “You’re not going to get your movie directed.” In a recent interview with  Salon  promoting his new book,  President Me: The America That’s In My Head , Carolla said that homosexuals have “just turned into a mafia” and criticized them for “demanding everyone apologize for every joke and retract every statement.” The drive for censorship has “turned into something that’s bigger than it is,” Carolla added. “I’ve lived in this town my whole life and never seen it like this.” “There’s plenty of gay people” in Hollywood, “and they’re in positions above you,” Carolla said. “You’re not going to get your movie directed.” “If you can’t work with gay people, you’re gonna have a difficult time in Hollywood,” Carolla said. Carolla himself was the tar

Hollywood strips Christian song of Oscar nomination but celebrates pedophilia: Critic

HOLLYWOOD, February 6, 2014 – A faith-themed film can lose its Oscar nomination for a common lobbying tactic, but celebrating – or possibly committing – pedophilia is no barrier to an Oscar nod, a prominent critic said today. His remarks are part of the ongoing backlash against the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences ' decision to rescind the Academy Award nomination  for Best Original Song to the faith-themed film  Alone Yet Not Alone . That step, which Hollywood observers say is nearly unprecedented, has brought accusations of “faith-based bigotry,” howls of hypocrisy – and a petition drive from a pro-life group to restore the nomination, which has garnered at least one well-known signature. Composers Bruce Broughton and Dennis Spiegal earned the nomination for the song about God's silent presence, which was sung by Joni Eareckson Tada . When Broughton sent an e-mail to friends asking them to consider his song, the Academy revoked the nomination.

Same-sex ‘marriage’ also fails the kinship test

The procreation and care of children play a central role in the current debates over the meaning of marriage. For supporters of the conjugal view of marriage, children are the dominant reality driving the state’s recognition of marriage. Because sex leads to babies, the state wants to channel sex into a stable relationship that bonds both a mother and a father to their children. Those two parents, the mom and the dad, are then present from birth through their child’s emergence into adulthood as a constant source of love, education, and provision. As the social science presented at  Public Discourse  and  else where  has documented, a married mom and dad provide the best possible home for raising their children. And so the state recognizes, supports, and promotes marriages—for the sake of the children. Making children the integral attribute of marriage has shaped the legal and political debate over marriage, and it has led to several obvious objections from those seeking to overthr

Leading Rabbi ‘mortified’ after Biden praises Jews’ ‘immense influence’ in promoting gay ‘marriage’

A leading Rabbi says he is furious after Vice President Joseph Biden   credited  Jewish leaders last week for the success of same-sex ‘marriage’ in America . “The Jewish people have contributed greatly to America. No group has had such an outsized influence per capita as all of you standing before you,” Biden said last Tuesday night at a reception hosted by the Democratic National Committee in honor of Jewish American Heritage Month .  Rabbi Yehuda Levin Biden offered praise for Jewish cultural and artistic “movements in America” that he said were responsible for changing the country’s attitudes on marriage.  “I bet you 85 percent of those changes, whether it’s in Hollywood or social media are a consequence of Jewish leaders in the industry. The influence is immense, the influence is immense. And, I might add, it is all to the good,” he said.  Biden’s comments have caused outrage.  “I’m mortified, I’m absolutely mortified,” said Rabbi Yehuda Levin, spokesman for the U

New Zealand Christians pray over Homosexual marriage

Singing from the same sheet: Churchgoers sing a hymn during a meeting at St Mary 's Catholic Church to voice their support for heterosexual marriage Groups supporting and opposing the Marriage Equality bill, which would legalise same-sex marriages, gathered at separate events in Blenheim yesterday. A crowd of about 110 people attended St Mary's Catholic Church to pray in support of heterosexual marriage, while a small group of about 14 people supporting the bill gathered in Seymour Square at the same time. Near the start of the church meeting, Blenheim Assembly of God minister Dennis Humphreys prayed for wisdom to tackle the issues. Wairau Presbyterian parish minister Brendan O'Hagan said his public statements about the marriage equality bill had been a stand for marriage, not against particular people. "It's an issue that I'm standing for and against, an issue, an idea and an assumption." Marriage was ordained by God and his tru

Unions force members to support Homosexual marriage

You know that we've always been up against the media, Hollywood elites and a small but powerful cadre of billionaires who are all trying to push their gay marriage agenda on the country. And recently, corporate America has jumped in the fray, backing a same-sex marriage agenda that is simply bad for business. But now, another monolith has joined them:  Unions . Please  watch the story of Sarah Rowe  and hear her tell, in her own words, how her union openly endorsed same-sex marriage and pressured its members to do likewise: Here's just one quote from Sarah: It was made known [by my union] that faith shouldn't be a part of the discussion in the union meeting [which] made it more difficult for people to voice their actual opinion. Paul, I can't adequately convey the wealth and power that is arrayed against us in this fight.  Related articles Ten myths about gay 'marriage' Will November be same-sex marriage month?
