American Philosophers’ Association: Must accept gay ‘marriage’ – disagreement now means discrimination

Image
The American Philosophical Association (APA), "the premier philosophical learned society in North America ," has revised its Code of Conduct for professional philosophers to exclude gender-identity dissent by labeling disagreement as "discrimination." Unnamed members of the association petitioned the APA to update its code of conduct to include discrimination based on "gender identity." The APA's board approved the updated code of conduct. "The American Philosophical Association rejects as unethical all forms of discrimination based on … sexual orientation (and) gender identification ,” the new code reads. The code specifically forbids "discrimination" for "integrally connected" behavior, such as "sexual conduct expressive of a sexual orientation," and " same-sex marriage ." "The only way that the APA can demand that all philosophers and others bow to the politically correct creed tha

Will the Duck Dynasty controversy awaken people to the homofascist intolerant juggernaut?

Image
The gay bullying and intimidation deployed against Duck Dynasty ’s Phil Robertson is nothing new to the ex-gay community. For too long in this country, gay rights organizations have incorporated ex-gay bashing as an integral part of their mission. Christian ex-gays are ridiculed for their faith, while people seeking therapy for unwanted same-sex attractions are painted as dangerously delusional. On this one-way street of intolerance, former homosexuals are accused of being liars or fakes while transgenders are celebrated for changing their gender identity. Using their political power and mainstream media support, gay activists work to keep ex-gays in the closet while demanding legal recognition of single-sex marriage as an equal right. This well-organized and heavily-funded bullying of former homosexuals and ex-gay speech is known by the ex-gay community as ‘homofascism.’  Like Phil Robertson, ex-gays are subjected to demands that they apologize for their existence and vi

Jindal, who is governor of the Robertsons' home state, said in  a statement  issued on his official website that “Phil Robertson and his family are great citizens of the State of Louisiana .” “The politically correct crowd is tolerant of all viewpoints, except those they di

Cable TV Show star speaks Bible truth about homosexuality and gets sacked

Image
Phil Robertson, a star of A&E's " Duck Dynasty ," has been suspended indefinitely after slamming gays in a magazine interview. "We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ , which are based on his own personal (ahh sorry Bible truth) beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty," the network said in a statement Wednesday. "His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks , who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community . The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely." In an interview in the January issue of GQ, Robertson equates gays and sinners, and appears to compare homosexuality to bestiality . "It seems like, to me, a vagina -- as a man -- would be more desirable than a man's anus. That's just me. I'm just thinking: There's more there! She's got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying?

U.S. Supreme Court allows ruling denying two dads on birth certificate to stand

Image
Image via Wikipedia WASHINGTON, DC ,  - The U.S. Supreme Court refused to review a case involving unmarried same-sex partners who unsuccessfully sued to change an adopted boy’s birth certificate to state that the child had two fathers. The Supreme Court’s decision means that the federal court of appeals decision against the couple will stand. Mickey Smith and Oren Adar, an unmarried same-sex male couple, adopted a Louisiana -born infant in New York in 2006. They sought to have the child’s birth certificate reissued in Louisiana, replacing the names of his biological parents with their own. The registrar refused the request, taking the position that “adoptive parents” means married parents, because in Louisiana only married couples may jointly adopt a child. Adar and Smith sued the registrar, claiming that her decision denies full faith and credit to the New York adoption decree and violates their equal protection guarantees. However, the ruling by the en banc (16 judges) Fifth Cir

Marriage Equality is a rebellion against God

Image
Image via Wikipedia Liberty Counsel ’s Matt Barber was rejoicing today on his radio show over a decision by a federal court which affirmed the state of Louisiana ’s decision  not to issue a birth certificate  including both of the names of the two men who were adopting a child born in the state. According to Barber, the court’s ruling damages the prospects of marriage equality across the nation. Barber, who recently said that progressives and radical Muslims were working together to “destroy” God , said that “ homosexual activists ” are part of an “anti-marriage movement” whose goal isn’t marriage but to bring about “an act of rebellion against God.” Barber  claims : Really, this is an anti-marriage movement. Homosexual activists are not looking for the white picket fence ; they don’t really want marriage in the traditional monogamous sense of a lifelong relationship. The reality is that most of these activists are looking to attack the institution of marriage because it is somethin
