GAY TRUTH

This is not hype or exaggeration. It is a simple, legal truth. With the signing of the “Respect for Marriage Act” into law, if you do not accept or affirm same-sex “marriage,” you are now in the same category as a racist. And you can be assured that this will be used as a weapon against you in the days to come. How can I make such statements? Let me remind you of the exact language of the bill, beginning with the opening words: “This act provides statutory authority for same-sex and interracial marriages.” I have already discussed the reasons why this language was used since, in reality, interracial marriages were no more under potential legal threat in America than apple pie or baseball.  The only reason marriage requires two people is because it requires a man and a woman. In this article, I want to point out how the language is being used to target and demonize those of us who affirm and welcome interracial marriage, which contains the fundamental elements of marriage (a man and a w

In Connecticut,   a young woman  watched as her dream of winning state and regional track competitions and standing on the victory podium was unfairly snatched from her when she was forced to compete against two male high school athletes who identify as female. In Alaska, government officials threatened to use a city law to force  a women’s shelter  to allow men to sleep three feet away from vulnerable women, many of whom have been trafficked and abused. In Pennsylvania, government officials forced a foster-care provider  to stop serving kids in need  because of its commitment to placing children in homes with a mother and father. These stories aren’t mere hypotheticals. These are the stories of real victims. And yet President Joe Biden and others are promoting federal legislation that, if enacted, would create victims like these and many more across the nation. The Problem Our laws should protect the constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of every citizen, no matter who they are. And ev

Does she look at all like a man to you? Do you have permission to ask yourself that question? Dr. Rachel Levine is Joe Biden’s nominee for assistant secretary of health. Her position is of no matter at the moment, other than the fact that her photo is so much in the news; and neither is her gender, not in this discussion at any rate. My question is what you are allowed to think when you see her. We do not normally use trans persons’ changed/acquired pronouns at The Stream, but I’m making an exception this time, for several reasons. For one, I want to make sure there’s no doubt what I’m focusing on here: Not her gender, but what we have permission to think. Questions of Suffering, a Question of Freedom And I’m also going to ask questions here that may make Dr. Levine unhappy, and I have no need or desire to do so more than necessary. I do not presume to know her experience, but I do know the transgender condition can be painful, even cruel. A cousin of mine transitioned from his male pe

Former Vice President and current Democrat presidential frontrunner Joe Biden released his official “LGBTQ+ equality” plan this week, a comprehensive document laying out how he would elevate homosexual and transgender “acceptance” above religious liberty and conscience rights if elected to the White House. “As President, Biden will stand with the LGBTQ+ community to ensure America finally lives up to the promise on which it was founded: equality for all,” the plan declares. “He will provide the moral leadership to champion equal rights for all LGBTQ+ people, fight to ensure our laws and institutions protect and enforce their rights, and advance LGBTQ+ equality globally.” First, the plan lists as a “top priority” enacting the so-called  Equality Act , which would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include “sex,” “sexual orientation,” and “gender identity” among expressly recognized “non-discrimination” categories in “public accommodations” (the definition of which would be dram

LGBTQ media representation has soared recently. Will and Grace  historically, presented a sanitized version of the sin of homosexuality . Joe Biden said it was this TV show 'Will and Grace" that changed his mind about the sin of homosexuality and hence his own daughters fall into homosexual sin was now honored instead of being challenged. Forgiveness of homosexual sin is still offered by Christ to save those drowning in this ugly sin. Vice President takes his morals from the TV - God help us!! Now new homosexuality trans shows like: Transparent and Orange is the New Black will attempt to tell sad personal stories in order to get people to focus away from homosexual sin and transgender mental health issues towards seeing people as ordinary people.  IGNORE THE SIN OF HOMOSEXUAL TELL A NICE STORY But LGBTQ still have major strides to make in terms of positively portraying queer and trans characters. Sarah Kate Ellis , president and CEO of GLAAD , described the

In   a blog post   signed by U.S. Conference of Bishop Executive members Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz, Bishop Richard J. Malone and Archbishop Thomas G. Wenski, the U.S. bishops have made a weak response to Vice President Joe Biden, who recently publicly rejoiced after   having officiated   at a homosexual ‘wedding’.  The U.S. bishops did not even name Biden in the post nor announce that he would no longer be given Holy Communion. The strongest statement in the release said: “When a prominent Catholic politician publicly and voluntarily officiates at a ceremony to solemnize the relationship of two people of the same-sex, confusion arises regarding Catholic teaching on marriage and the corresponding moral obligations of Catholics. What we see is a counter witness, instead of a faithful one founded in the truth. “ The statement concluded asking for prayers for “Catholic leaders in public life, that they may fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to them with grace and courage

Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, Cincinnati (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) April 8, 2015 ( FRCBlog.com ) -- In early 1991, Curt Smith hired me to serve in the press office of U.S. Sen. Dan Coats (R-IN).  He was my boss for more than three years, working in harness for one of the finest men to serve in the Senate in recent memory. Curt is a gracious, soft-spoken man who has a deep love for people.  He was patient with me as I grew in my role and has been a friend for, now, nearly a quarter of a century. He is also a committed follower of Jesus Christ who, while working for the prestigious law firm Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP , also served as head of the Indiana Family Institute.  Now, due to his support for Indiana Governor Mike Pence’s original religious liberty bill, Curt has lost his job.  As  Indianapolis’s WISH-TV tells it : Until last week Smith was the director of public policy at the Taft Law firm. One of its biggest clients is Cummins , the Columbus bas

Official portrait of Vice President of the United States . (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) According to Vice President Joe Biden , states that defend true marriage today are just as guilty of oppression as King George was when the United States declared their independence from the British crown 238 years ago. In a July 4  speech  at Philadelphia ’s Independence Hall , where the Declaration was signed on that date in 1776, Biden told onlookers that same-sex “marriage” should be celebrated as “the civil rights issue of our day, making it clear that you should be able to marry whoever you love — period.” “Ladies and gentlemen, ultimately that’s what we’re celebrating today — the continuation of the expansion of the notion that all men are created equal ,” Biden said. “There’s been a constant march in America on the road to guaranteeing every man, woman and child the dignity that you’re entitled to. ... That’s what these men who said in this building behind me fully understood.”

MOSCOW, RUSSIA , April 8, 2014, – The leader of one of Russia ’s political parties has introduced an initiative  to modify the country’s constitution to define marriage as being between one man and one woman. Igor Zotov, the sponsor of the measure, is the head of the Russian Pensioner’s Party, in addition to being a Lower House MP.   His proposal would change Article 38 of Russia’s constitution, inserting the line “Motherhood and childhood, family and marriage as a voluntary union between a man and a woman are under the protection of the state.”  Currently, the constitution mentions the “family,” but without defining it.  The proposal would change Article 38 of Russia’s constitution, inserting the line “Motherhood and childhood, family and marriage as a voluntary union between a man and a woman are under the protection of the state.” Zotov said that recent influence from the West and the growing prevalence of same-sex “marriage” necessitates the constitutional amendment.  Th
