GAY TRUTH

August 28, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) -  A lawsuit  filed by a homosexual against Liberty University School of Law and various other organizations and individuals for “conspiracy” and “racketeering” is based on lies and is defamatory, according to law school dean Mathew Staver , who says that he will “pursue every recourse” against the plaintiffs for having filed it. Staver also says that the suit is an attempt to undermine the freedom of speech of pro-family groups in their opposition to homosexual behavior and homosexual parenting. Lisa Miller and her daughter Isabella “This is outrageously frivolous,” Staver told LifeSiteNews.com. “It’s a press release filed in federal court. It is sanctionable, and we will pursue every recourse possible because this suit is defamatory. It’s filled with lies, it’s frivolous, and the attorney who filed it ought to be sanctioned…” The suit, filed on behalf of Vermont lesbian Janet Jenkins, claims that Liberty University School of Law, Th

Under the First Amendment , the high court ruled, churches are entitled to protection for their employment practices that applies beyond the head of a religious congregation to others, such as teachers, who are viewed as also carrying the message of the church. The court thus dismissed a wrongful termination suit brought against a church by a former teacher, who complained of disability discrimination to the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission . Conservative analysts note that Obama administration lawyers went farther than anti-religion interest groups weighing in on the case: Ed Whelan of National Review   said  the administrat

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

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will be defending its decency standards before the U.S. Supreme Court after the Second Circuit , in a July 2010 case involving the use of expletives in two Fox TV awards shows, ruled that the standards were too vague. The same court upheld the ruling in a separate case in January, striking down the FCC’s fine against a group of ABC stations that broadcast an actress’ nudity in an episode of NYPD Blue in 2003. Broadcasters will argue that the current standards violate their Fi Image via Wikipedia rst Amendment rights . “ Prime-time television has already degraded. Removing the current decency standards would allow prime-time TV to slide into a cinematic cesspool,” said Liberty Counsel founder Mathew D. Staver , whose group fil

Image via Wikipedia New York’s newly-enforced law recognizing same-sex “marriage” is being challenged by lawyers who say the state’s constitutional and legal procedures were “flagrantly” violated when lawmakers pushed the bill through last month. Liberty Counsel has filed a lawsuit in the New York Supreme Court for declaratory and injunctive relief against the law that was signed on June 24 by Governor Andrew Cuomo . Numerous constitutional and legal violations were committed using strong-arm tactics to pass the Act, thus infringing the rights of the citizens of New York, claims Liberty Counsel. The organization claims the following alleged infringements of the law: In a violation of the Open Meetings Law, Mayor Bloomberg lobbied all Republican senators for the bill in a secret session. The Governor pressured Republican Senators to vote for the Act at a private meeting at the Governor’s mansion and with the millions of dollars he had raised from Wall Street financiers. Mayo
