GAY TRUTH

Over 100 young adults held a press conference Tuesday at Indiana 's state House calling for an amendment protecting true marriage. INDIANAPOLIS, IN ,  – “ The media claims we don't exist. Freedom Indiana claims there are none of us left. But as young Hoosiers, we are here today.”  Those were the words of Shane Weist, 33, who along with a group of more than 100 other young adults, held a  press conference  Tuesday in which they sought to prove that – despite media reports to the contrary – not every young person in America backs legally-sanctioned same-sex “marriage.”   Weist and his companions make up Young Hoosiers for Marriage , an Indiana-based group fighting for passage of HJR-3, an amendment to the state constitution defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman. Also at issue in Indiana are so-called ‘civil unions,’ which give many of the legal benefits of marriage without the name or federal recognition. The House passed a version of the mar

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) WASHINGTON, D.C. , July 19, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The U.S. House’s GOP-led Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group has withdrawn from a court case in which it was defending the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and a similar statute, Title 38, against a complaint from homosexuals in the military who want spousal benefits for their same- sex partners . In a federal court   filing , the House lawyers said that the Supreme Court’s June 26 decision to strike down DOMA left them no choice. “The Supreme Court recently resolved the issue of DOMA Section 3’s constitutionality,” wrote the House lawyers. ”The  Windsor   decision necessarily resolves the issue of DOMA Section 3’s constitutionality in this case.” Continued the lawyers, “While the question of whether [T

It now goes back to the House which had previously passed a gay marriage bill and the governor has promised to sign it. The Rhode Island bill does not create a new category of marriage for same-sex couples . Rather, it completely redefines marriage for all people in Rhode Island. Some religious liberty protections were added for churches. But as Scott Spear, a NOM Rhode Island Advisory Board member, told the press, "It won't be long before gay 'marriage' activists start pressing hard their new found rights on the faithful in Rhode Island. In Vermont, Christian innkeepers were sued. It

SPRINGFIELD, IL , February 15, 2013, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The heavily Democratic Illinois Senate voted mostly along party lines Thursday to approve a bill redefining marriage in the state to include homosexual couples. The vote was 34-21, with three Democrats voting against the bill and only one Republican voting for it. Two additional Democrats voted “present.” Democratic Governor Pat Quinn , who is Catholic, has been publicly urging passage of a same-sex “marriage” bill for months, despite his Church’s strong opposition. If the bill passes the House for Quinn’s signature, Illinois would become the nation’s tenth state to allow same-sex “marriages,” along with the District of Columbia . Gov. Pat Quinn “Today, we are one step closer to marriage equality in Illinois,” said Governor Quinn on Thursday. “Couples across Illinois have even more reason today to celebrate their love for each other, thanks to the hard work of committed advocates and lawmakers. This historic legis

SB 6239 passed the upper chamber 28-21 on Wednesday night, days after gaining the approval of a Senate committee on a party-line vote . In the full vote, four Republicans crossed party lines to support the bill, while three Democrats voted against. The measure is expected to pass the House, and has already won the support of Democrat governor Christine Gregoire , making it likely that Washington will soon become the sixth state to recognize the new definition of marriage. Earlier last month, Gregoire, now in her final year in office after choosing not to run for a third term, announced that she would introduce the bill after several years of opposing the marriage redefinition. “I’m sorry that it took me as long as it did. But it’s genuine
