GAY TRUTH

They say that too often people don't value something until it's in danger of being taken away. But the flip-side of this is the blessing of renewed appreciation for the things we hold dear when we face the task of defending them from attack. While it is a sad and worrisome thing to witness how the definition of marriage has come under attack for over a decade now, this has also made more people reflect on the meaning of this ancient institution that we always took for granted. One recent remarkable reflection of this sort comes from a gay journalist in Ireland who wrote  a very strong piece  about why he opposes same-sex marriage: Same Sex Marriage [sic] is not some warm fluffy equality bunny, it's a bare-faced state power grab.

LINCOLN, Nebraska, May 3, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - University of Nebraska ’s assistant football coach, Ron Brown , who is facing censure and calls for his dismissal for publicly expressing his biblically-based views against the homosexual lifestyle, has stated that he’d rather be fired than retract his comments. At a meeting of Omaha City Council in late March, Brown spoke against a proposed ordinance that would give special “protected status” to homosexual students. Brown argued that granting special status to one group would infringe on the rights of other groups. He told the council members that their “discernment” was under scrutiny and that they would be held to “great accountability for the decision you are making.” Ron Brown “The question I have for you all is, like Pontius Pilate , what are you going to do with Jesus?” Brown reportedly asked the council. “Ultimately, if you don’t have a relationship with him, and you don’t really have a Bible-believing mentality, really, an
