GAY TRUTH

The net result is that anyone who doesn’t have a firm grasp on the Bible’s teaching about this issue is being swept up in the tide of public opinion. So swift is the tide that even the senators who voted for the law in Arizona a few weeks ago are now publically renouncing their “yes” vote and asking the governor to veto it.

Plodding through the news this week has been an attempt in both Arizona and Kansas to pass laws that specifically protect business owners from being forced to sell their services to celebrate gay “marriage” ceremonies. Some Christians have quickly distanced themselves from these laws ( Andy Stanley , Jonathan Merritt, Kristin Powers ), while the media has shown that, as a general rule, it lacks even a rudimentary understanding of what is at stake here. The net result is that anyone who doesn’t have a firm grasp on the Bible’s teaching about this issue is being swept up in the tide of public opinion.

I’m sure you’ve heard the argument: A Christian who refuses to support  same-sex marriage is like a business owner in the segregated South who refused to serve black people. If you refuse to use your skill to profit off something that you find sinful, so the argument goes, are you not exactly like those businesses that turned African-Americans away? Here are two real-life examples: there was a  baker in Oregon  who refused to make a cake for a same-sex wedding . The Oregon Labor Commission found that this was illegal discrimination. The baker was forced to go out of business business, or face fines of hundreds of thousands of dollars. He ended up closing his doors. Then there  was the photographer in New Mexico  who was asked to shoot a same-sex wedding. She refused, basically saying because she thought the marriage was sinful, she was not sure her pictures would present the ceremony in the best light, so to speak (she in turn recommended other photographers who could

January 9,2014 ( FRC ) - It's been a convenient talking point of the media that Republicans haven't said much about the marriage debate since the Supreme Court's summer ruling. Yesterday, they let their legislation do the talking. After a string of bad court decisions, Congress is stepping in to do the job that five justices did not: protect state marriage laws. Under the leadership of Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas), conservatives are  making it clear  that they have no intentions of backing away from the unions that a super majority of states respect. When the Supreme Court overturned part of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) last June, the federal government was suddenly forced to recognize same-sex "marriages" regarding more than 1,000 laws and benefits that apply to "spouses." What the justices didn't  do was clarify what the ruling meant for homosexuals who "wed" in a state where it was legal and then moved to one of the 33 states

United State Supreme Court Building (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) A county clerk and chief deputy clerk in New Mexico resigned from their positions after the state's Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage last week. Roosevelt County Clerk Donna Carpenter and Deputy Clerk Janet Collins resigned from their posts early Friday morning, one day after the state's Supreme Court ruled that barring same-sex couples from marrying violates the state's constitutional right to equal protection. Although an official reason for the clerks' resignation has not been provided, county commissioners have told the Associated Press and other media outlets that both Collins and Carpenter made their intention of quitting clear, should same-sex marriage be legalized in the state. Roosevelt County Commissioner Bill Cathey told AP that the two had made it apparent that they would quit "rather than be associated with that … she told us in the past that's what she would do,"

You're trusting these folks to say whether kids should have moms and dads? I've been getting some of the updates from New Mexico about the SOC (same-old-crap) peddled by purveyors of same-sex parenting . It goes like this: A big, powerful, well-funded association with a fancy, imposing name issues a declaration on their "endorsement of same-sex parenting." http://www.lifesitenews.com/ news/new-mexico-groups- promote-same-sex-marriage-as- a-benefit-to-kids-ignoring-t? utm_source=LifeSiteNews.com+ Daily+Newsletter&utm_campaign= 6269d2388a-LifeSiteNews_com_ US_Headlines_06_19_2013&utm_ medium=email&utm_term=0_ 0caba610ac-6269d2388a- 397522465 Remember that the gay marriage cases before the Supreme Court last March saw amicus briefs submitted by athletes, corporations, and random Republicans who endorsed this as if they had any relevance in deciding something so heavy: Do children have a right to a mom and dad? Can we just take away their mom or dad

Today a judge struck down Utah's 2004 ban on same-sex marriage as unconstitutional. If the ruling stands, Utah would become the 18th state to permit gays and lesbians to wed. The Associated Press reports : U.S. District Judge Robert J. Shelby issued a 53-page ruling Friday saying Utah's law passed by voters in 2004 violates gay and lesbian couples' rights to due process and equal protection under the 14th Amendment. Shelby says the state failed to show that allowing same-sex marriages would affect opposite-sex marriages in any way, and the state's unsupported fears and speculations are insufficient to justify deny allowing same-sex marriages. Update (Dec. 19): New Mexico has become the 17th state (plus D.C.) to l egalize same-sex marriage , after the state's supreme court ruled today that denying marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples is unconstitutional. The Washington Post notes : Many counties in New Mexico had already been issuing marriage licenses to

ALBUQUERQUE , December 19, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The Supreme Court of New Mexico ruled that the state must recognize same-sex “marriages,” because a ban would violate a 1972 constitutional amendment banning discrimination "on account of the sex of any person." Justice Edward L. Chavez wrote that, due to homosexuals' special status as a minority community, “New Mexico may [not] constitutionally deny same-gender couples the right to marry...unless the proponents of the legislation — the opponents of same-gender marriage — prove that the discrimination caused by the legislation is 'substantially related to an important government interest.'” Chavez authored the  31-page decision  expressing the unanimous ruling of the five-member court. Justices rejected the notion that the government had a vested interest in the conception and raising of children. “Procreation has never been a condition of marriage under New Mexico law, as evidenced by the fact that
