GAY TRUTH

Brendan Eich, Mozilla Corporation Taken by AcidJazzed 03:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC) 11/21/2006 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) It’s a couple of years since Javascript inventor Brendan Eich was hounded out of his job at Mozilla by a virtual mob of intolerant tweeters and campaigners. His crime? Failing to genuflect at the altar of gay marriage , which is now the closest thing our otherwise godless, belief-lite, morally vacuous societies have to a sacred value. For refusing to bow down before this new sainted institution, and for having the temerity to donate money to a campaign group opposed to it, Eich was found guilty by the mob of sacrilege and was hounded out of public life as a modern-day heretic. And in those four weeks, some gay-marriage backers, feeling more than a little red-faced, have called for the zealots in their camp to get a grip. The treatment of Eich was an example of what happens when bad-apple activists turn crazily self-righteous, they say. British-American writer

English: Annise Parker, Houston Mayor. Español: Annise Parker, la alcaldesa de Houston (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Backers of a Houston city ordinance banning discrimination based on “sexual orientation” and “ gender identity ” have published the names of 31,000 pro-family citizens who signed a petition opposing the ordinance because they believed it violated freedom of religion and conscience. The city council passed the  ordinance , which applies to companies with 15 or more employees, in May with the support of openly lesbian Mayor Annise Parker . The council voted 11-6 in support and Parker signed it on May 28. Due to "a public emergency" being declared in Section 6 of the ordinance, it was to take effect on June 28. However, the No UNequal Rights coalition -- led by city religious leaders -- argued that the issue should be put to voters this fall. On July 3, they sent a petition with more than 31,000 signatures to the city secretary, far more than the minimu

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) First, it turns out that Tyree is a strong Christian, and his faith  drives his belief  that marriage is between a man and a woman.  CBS reports : "This will be the beginning of our country sliding  toward, it's a strong word, but anarchy ,” Tyree told the pro-marriage group, the  National Organization for Marriage , three years ago when talking about marriage equality. "How can marriage be marriage for thousands of years and now all the sudden because a minority, an influential minority, has a push or agenda ... and totally reshapes something that was not founded in our country.” In 2013, he said this. "I don't agree with [gay marriage] because God doesn't agree with it. As a Christian, I don't agree. Society may be changing but God is not,"  Tyree said . "This is not personal. I could still be in a locker room with a  gay man  and still lo

I'm not a fan of the New York Giants . They ruined a perfect season for the New England Patriots in 2008, and stopped the Pats again in the 2012 Super Bowl . And I was made aware this morning that the team hired the Giants player  who made their 2008 victory possible , David Tyree , as their new Director of Player Development. So yeah. Not exactly a fan of the Giants. But after the other thing I read this morning, that might have to change. First, it turns out that Tyree is a strong Christian, and his faith  drives his belief  that marriage is between a man and a woman. CBS reports : "This will be the beginning of our country sliding  toward, it's a strong word, but anarchy ,” Tyree told the pro-marriage group, the National Organization for Marriage , three years ago when talking about marriage equality.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN, May 8, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) -- Pro-family and religious groups  showed their clout  in Indiana politics Tuesday, ousting two Republicans who opposed a marriage amendment earlier this year and successfully defending several vulnerable allies. Two Republican members of the state House , Kathy Heuer and Rebecca Kubacki , lost their races after opposing a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex “marriage” in the state. In addition to ousting Heuer and Kubacki in favor of Christopher Judy and Curt Nisly, respectively, family groups made sure Rep. Eric Turner won against a challenger despite an ethics controversy. Indiana Rep. Eric Turner Turner was given special attention by pro-family organizations because he was the sponsor of the constitutional amendment.  While he was found innocent  of the charges brought against him, it made his re-election campaign more difficult. The investigation focused on Turner's public and behind-the-scenes opposition t

I am going to break two of my own sacred rules right now. One rule, which I decreed a year ago, was never to to do end-of-year posts. They can be trite and annoying. Anyway the events summarized are still fairly fresh in our memory, so the first reaction is often, "what else is new?" The second rule is that I don't respond to Snarky Gay Bloggers. There are so many of them. They say so many things that are untrue. For the most part they are uneducated savages who know very little beyond what they find on the first two pages of a Google search. And generally they have no lives aside from revisiting the high school emotional manipulations that left them wounded, only this time, with them in the position of the Mean Girls , shielded by their pseudonyms and Internet anonymity . I don't respond to them typically, because I honestly don't have time. I teach a full load as a professor and spend a lot of my writing time collating information about children's rights. I
