My husband became a ‘woman,’ and it ruined our marriage – and my future relationships

Image
MELBOURNE, Australia , – What happens when a good Catholic girl marries the man of her dreams, and then he tells her he thinks he's a woman? It yields heartbreak and a lifetime of emotionally stunted relationships, according to an autobiographical essay in Sunday's  Sydney Morning Herald   that asks society to consider “the other side” of the transgender debate. The woman, whose name has been withheld, was 18 years-old when she met “ Ryan ,” a musician who slowly worked his way into her heart. His sense of humor made the self-described “good Catholic girl” fall for the young man, who was trying to get ahead in the 1980s Australian music scene. When he asked her to move to Melbourne with her, she had second thoughts. “I did not want to 'live in sin,'” she wrote. So, he asked for her hand in marriage. Although she believed their life was idyllic, he became sullen and withdrawn. Soon, he left her a letter saying he believed he was a woman trapped inside a

Italian town votes to allow gay ‘civil unions’ despite no law allowing it

ROME , May 12, 2014 – The municipal authorities of the city of Crotone in the far south of Italy have voted to allow resident same-sex partners to register as “ civil unions ,” despite the fact that there is no provision in Italian law for such recognition. Opponents of the move have called it “futile” and ideologically motivated, since such registries would have no legal reality. On May 6, the town council  approved a resolution  that said the intention was to “provide for the protection and support of civil unions in order to overcome situations of discrimination and promoting integration into the social, cultural and economic development of the territory.” “Areas of concern” for the resolution included “housing, health and social services, youth policy, sports, education, school and educational services, rights and participation, transportation.” It says that the new rule will allow the registry of “civil unions” for “two persons of different sex or of the same sex and

According to a  World Pride Toronto bio , Amona became active with the homosexual organization in 2009 after working for a variety of homosexual groups in Europe , Africa , and North America .

ROME , April 30, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – A pamphlet, intended for use in schools, has been called homosexual pornography and indoctrination by some concerned parents in the region of Reggio Emilia . Earlier this month, the national homosexual lobby group Arcigay distributed a leaflet at the Istituto Superiore Cattaneo-Dall'Aglio, a high school in Castelnuovo Monti, that included highly explicit language giving information on the best method for homosexuals to “have sex without risk.” The leaflet was aimed at “children up to 15 years” and includes instructions on oral and anal sex and the advice to “get a gay doctor, and be vaccinated against Hepatitis B.” It also details the various “safe” uses of “sex toys.” The leaflet includes a cartoon illustration that gives a graphic depiction of a nude reclining man, his genitals barely covered with a cloth, as well as drawings showing how to use a condom. It claims to give information on how to engage in sexual practic

Marriage campaigners must talk about harms of homosexuality or lose the fight: Belfast campaigner

BELFAST,  – Defenders of traditional marriage in Northern Ireland and elsewhere are going to continue to lose ground, even among their own constituency of conservative Christians , until they start talking about the realities and harms of homosexual behavior , one of Belfast ’s leading pro-life and family advocates has said. “No one is putting forward an effective defense of marriage” without mentioning this issue, said Liam Gibson, Northern Ireland office of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children . “We’ll continue to lose numbers until we do, but whether anyone has the courage do to that is a different matter.” Campaigners for traditional marriage definitions have almost uniformly restricted themselves to lauding the institution as a source of social stability and an ideal environment to raise children, and shied away from critiquing homosexuality itself. And this embarrassment and fear of talking about what homosexual acts actually are crippling the efforts t

Homosexual activist says gay ‘marriage’ isn’t about equality, it’s about destroying marriage

Image
Conservative pundits are saying that a homosexual activist exposed the hidden agenda behind homosexual “marriage” when she told an audience that the movement is not seeking equality but rather a total dismantling of the institution of marriage itself. Masha Gessen , a journalist and author who campaigns for homosexual 'rights', made the comments in Australia on a panel at the Sydney Writer’s Festival. She said: It’s a no-brainer that (homosexual activists) should have the right to marry, but I also think equally that it’s a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist. …(F)ighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we are going to do with marriage when we get there — because we lie that the institution of marriage is not going to change, and that is a lie. The institution of marriage is going to change, and it should change. And again, I don’t think it should exist. And I don’t like taking part in creating fictions about my
