GAY TRUTH

On June 8, 2017, Facebook Live featured a prominent Catholic priest ,  James Martin, S.J.  He was promoting his book  Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity .  Father Martin said : That’s the way God created you. I think almost every psychologist and biologist and scientist would agree on that; and certainly LGBT people will tell you that’s the way they always felt – that they had been created that way. Lady Gaga agrees. She gave this theory its anthem with the 2011 hit “Born This Way.” Activists have codified this claim into a dogma. The origins of homosexuality are now “settled science,” we’re told. One researcher  boldly declares : “[W]e’re born this way. Let’s deal with it.” One of the most adamant devotees of the “born gay” theory is Mark Joseph Stern. He covers law and LGBTQ issues for “Slate.” He  stated unequivocally : In study after study, biologists have found t

Jesuit Father James Martin, who Pope Francis recently made a consultant to the Vatican, said on  Good Morning America  that he likes the "born this way" message of Lady Gaga .  The song " Born This Way " is widely used as an anthem for the LGBT lobby. It features lyrics like "No matter gay, straight, or bi / Lesbian , transgendered life / I'm on the right track baby / I was born to survive" and "a different lover is not a sin." "I was born this way" is repeated about 30 times throughout the song. "In your book Building a Bridge, you start with this psalm: 'You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made,'" ABC's Dan Harris said to Martin. "Some of my colleagues here at GMA noticed there's some similarity here to Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way.'" "I think she got it from the psalm, probably not the other way around…A li

Blessed Sacrament Church in the Archdiocese of New York has announced that its “Gay Fellowship” group will be partnering with Lady Gaga ’s “ Born This Way Foundation ” to hold a fundraising dance in the parish hall. John Gasdaska with 'husband' Wright Moore According to promotional  materials  displayed on the parish website, the event, which is styled a “dance party,” is called “Moving With the Spirit,” and will feature “cocktails, cabaret, silent auction, and dancing.” It is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday, June 17. The parish’s “Gay Fellowship” is headed by John Gasdaska, a man who “married” his homosexual partner in 2016 in an Episcopal church . Blessed Sacrament’s administration organized a celebration of Gasdaska’s “marriage” soon after the “wedding,” openly  publicizing  the event in the parish bulletin. The money raised by the dance will be used to fund the activities of two homosexualist organizations: the Born this Way Foundation and the Ali Forney Center

Under the headline “Portrait of a perfect marriage,” London’s   Daily Mail  gushed in prose so breathless that anaerobic life forms sprouted spontaneously on the screen:  “Eleven years ago this month, Sir Elton John proposed to his partner, David Furnish , thus formalising a relationship that — as the whole world knows — has blossomed into one of the most blissfully happy of show business marriages. “We know this, of course, because Sir Elton and David have been generous enough to share almost every detail of their relationship and family life through the pages of celebrity magazines, in high-profile TV interviews and on social media … Truly, they come across as a wonderfully loving couple.” Leaving aside the need to wipe the screen of one’s laptop and overdose on anti-nausea medication, there cannot now be a literate person in the British Isles who does not know that Elton John and his husband David Furnish are the couple at the centre of the long-running “ PJS ”  injun

Lady Gaga ( Stefani Germanotta ) speaks for millions in her song “ Born This Way ,” when she declares, I’m beautiful in my way, ‘Cause God makes no mistakes I’m on the right track, baby I was born this way (Streamline/Interscope/KonLive, 2011) The song is a hodgepodge of pluralistic affirmations, but its dominant message is unmistakably sexual, which Gaga’s music video makes explicitly clear (viewer discretion strongly advised): No matter gay, straight, or bi Lesbian, transgendered life I’m on the right track, baby I was born to survive “Born This Way” is a pop anthem of Western culture , a musical declaration of sexual independence. But it is not revolutionary, like Queen ’s “We Will Rock You” or “We Are the Champions” from a generation ago. Gaga (a name inspired by Queen’s “Radio Gaga”) is singing a mainstream manifesto, a dominant cultural belief about self-identity: I am my sexuality (my sexual desires and self-determined gender identity), I am beautiful, and I was bor

Uniting Church in Australia (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Mr Munson is a Minister a long-term advocate for marriage equality  and chose to marry homosexual couples in ACT recently before the legislation was thrown out by the High Court. Munson works with the Uniting Church as a locum and justified his actions in an ABC article. We will kindly address his justification to see if it is supported by scripture.   LOOK AT MUNSON'S LOGIC 1. " Being gay or lesbian, bi, whatever, is just who we are," he said. "It is not something people choose to do, it is just who we are. Response : This is the 'born gay' argument or the 'gay gene' argument supported by Lady Gaga but not the Bible. The Bible does state we are ALL born in sin and this would include homosexuals, bi, or lesbians. The Bible also calls everybody to repent of sin and come to Christ. The Bible does not call us to celebrate our sin but repent of our sin. Homosexuality and lesbianism is listed cl

I doubt there's much disagreement that "born this way" is the number one argument in play today regarding homosexuality. In debating the issue of same-sex marriage, and homosexual behavior in general, a very common line of reasoning used by our culture to defend homosexuality is that people are born with their sexual orientation .  In liberal Christianity, those espousing a pro-gay theology often times declare, " God made me this way." In both cases, the claim is that you cannot fault someone for being born the way they are, and therefore homosexual behavior should be embraced and valued every bit as much as heterosexuality.  Homosexuality aside for a moment, I'd like to assert that Lady Gaga can sing " Born This Way " all she'd like, but the argument itself doesn't stick.  This fact is becoming especially relevant today because we are now beginning to see the argument utilized to justify many other behaviors, with the most recent b
