GAY TRUTH

  The Justice Department filed a lawsuit today stating that North Carolina has violated federal civil rights laws by overturning ordinances mandating that transgender people can use the restroom and shower facilities of the opposite biological sex. Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced the federal case at a press conference late this afternoon, likening laws that bar biological males from using female showers to Jim Crow laws and segregation measures that forced blacks to use separate drinking fountains. “This is not the first time we have seen discriminatory responses to historic moments of progress to our nation,” said Lynch in a press conference scheduled for 3:30, which began half an hour late. “We saw it in the Jim Crow laws that followed the Emancipation Proclamation. We saw it in the fierce arguments against   Brown v. the Board of Education ” - the 1954 Supreme Court decision that overturned segregation. “And we saw it in the state bans on same-sex unions tha

Defenders of marriage and the traditional family continue to lose battle after battle to the purveyors of sexual liberation. So predictable have their defeats become that the judicial  coup  at the US Supreme Court over same-sex “marriage” surprised no one. Moreover, it finally but slowly seems to be dawning on Christian leaders that much more is at stake than even marriage, critical as that is. The awakening fear for “religious freedom,” along with attacks on peaceable Christian organizations as  “hate groups” and perpetrators of “violence”  reflects a growing awareness of the sexual agenda’s authoritarian designs. Now if we can start showing concern for the freedoms of others, who already face plunder and prison at the hands of the sexual radicals, we will become leaders of a constructive response. In fact, the impositions on Christians so far are very mild compared to  what others have endured . It is time to step back and look at the broader picture of what is taking p

- by Keith Pavlischek Jonathan Merritt , a blogger and journalist, who I’m told is associated with the progressive wing of Evangelical Christianity , recently published a blog post, MLK[Martin Luther King] would agree with Kirsten Powers on serving same-sex couples . The upshot of Merritt’s blog is that Christian photographers, bakers, and florists and the like should, (1) as a matter of Christian ethics and morality be willing to offer their services at gay weddings or other such events, since that, according to Kirsten Powers, is what Jesus would do; and (2) Christians and others should be required by law to serve at “gay weddings” or some similar type event, even if it would violate their conscience to do so. These are two related although distinct questions. I will leave (1) to others. My focus will be on (2). Now, I’m generally not concerned with asking questions such as “What would Jesus do?” A resort to that type of rhetorical question is typically evidence of an immature

Martin Luther King, Jr. , Homosexuality , and Gay Rights , who feels the civil rights leader would have sided with those advocating for gay marriage. However, most do not believe King would have petitioned for homosexual marriage. The Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson , founder and president of The Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, told The Christian Post that in studying King’s speeches, he could not conceive the civil rights leader heading a gay rights movement. “King was a man sent by God to do His will and there is no way that you can have that type of relationship with God and accept wrong as right," Peterson told CP. "In the scriptures it says that homosexuality is an abomination against God.” Although the Rev. Martin Luther King

WASHINGTON, D.C. ,  – D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray  admitted  Monday that he made the final decision to remove gospel singer Donnie McClurkin from the lineup of performers at a city-sponsored concert held Saturday at the Martin Luther King memorial in respond to complaints by gay activists .  McClurkin was to have been a headline performer at the event , called “Reflections on Peace: Ghandi to King,” which marked the beginning of a planned series of events to commemorate King’s life during the run-up to the 50 th  anniversary of the civil rights leader’s “ I Have a Dream ” speech. But on Friday, several homosexual activists contacted the mayor’s office to complain about McClurkin’s inclusion in the show because the gospel singer is a vocal ex-gay who believes homosexuality is a “curse” which can be overcome through prayer and determination.  They threatened to protest the event if he was allowed to perform.  Soon after, it was announced that McClurkin would no longer be part of th

An inauguration is always an historic occasion, a moment when the American people come together to celebrate the democracy we share. It was on the day that we as a nation gather to celebrate Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. , that President Obama decided to  divide the country  and to  demean the views of millions of fellow Americans , by trying to make support for gay marriage part of the national creed: We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls , and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk
