Catholic parish’s ‘LGBT ministry’ to hold meeting in gay drag bar

Image
The Catholic LGBT ministry,  Out at St. Paul  (OSP), located at the Paulist Fathers motherhouse of  St. Paul the Apostle Parish  in New York City , will host their “ Winter Social ” at the Rise gay bar in Hell’s Kitchen.  The Rise bar  is a well-known gay bar in Manhattan which is often included on lists ranking  the best gay bars  in New York City. The bar is particularly known for its elaborate weekly drag shows and the bartenders who wear nothing except a jock-strap. According to Out at St. Paul: Please join us for the OSP Winter Social on Wednesday, January 31st, at Rise Bar, which is located at 9th Avenue at 56th Street in (you guessed it!) Hell’s Kitchen. This is a great opportunity to catch up with your old friends in the OSP community and to meet new friends as well. Please join us, especially if you are a newcomer to the OSP community! All are welcome. But this is not the first time that OSP hosted an official gathering at a local gay bar. On March 22, 2017, OSP h

The U.S. has become a totalitarian Sodom: one man’s escape from homosexuality

Image
The dawn of 2018 marks twenty years since a life-changing event that changed me from obnoxiously pro-gay to staunchly pro-chastity. To draw from an overused allegory, I would like to say I fled Sodom twenty years ago. You see, on January 2, 1998, I was rushed into surgery in a Bronx hospital, about a mile from the apartment I lived in. I had a cancerous tumor that was severely malignant. Rushed into emergency operative care, I experienced a level of pain greater than anything I had ever felt prior. The vicious nurses, whose faces I will never forget, hounded me until I agreed to be discharged. They threatened to prevent my father from seeing me if I did not leave the ambulatory recovery hall and go home. I do not know why they were so determined not to admit me to the hospital for recovery, but I left. It was exceedingly cold that night and my apartment was a fifth-floor walk-up I barely reached. I was twenty-seven years old. Up until that time in my life, I had never had a

Polyamory, the next sad frontier of the sexual revolution

Image
Now that homosexuality and transgenderism are all but normalized, polyamory seems to be the next sad frontier of the sexual revolution . The latest installment of this trend appears in The New York Post’s profile of a polyamorous “throuple.” Stories about polyamory are appearing with more and more frequency, and I have seen a theme beginning to emerge in other polyamorous profiles that I have read. Not everyone in the relationship is happy about polyamory. At least one partner wishes for monogamy but concedes to polyamory so that he won’t lose the one he wishes he could be monogamous with. The throuple in the Post’s profile is no different. One man and woman in the relationship describe themselves as “bisexual.” A second man describes himself as “homoflexible”—by which he means homosexual but willing to accept the presence of the woman so that he doesn’t lose his man. Readers of this blog know where I stand on this one. Any sexual relationship outside of marriage is an immor

Kids suspended from school and adults arrested for “misgendering” in California

Image
Have you heard the news from Rocklin Academy charter school in Rocklin, CA . and how a kindergarten teacher staged a “transition ceremony” during class for a sexually confused five-year-old boy who thinks he’s a girl. During the ceremony, the teacher read pro-LGBT books to the young, impressionable minds that endorse and celebrate the sexual abuse of children under the guise of so-called tolerance. Following the reading, the teacher introduced the boy to the class, who then went to the bathroom to change clothes, and returned to class dressed as a girl. The teacher then instructed the class that “he” was now a “she” and had to be addressed as such from now on. If you’re wondering what might happen to a child who fails to do as the teacher instructed, wonder no longer. It’s been reported that a first-grade student at Rocklin was recently sent to the principal’s office after she accidentally “misgendered” a so-called transgendered classmate in what is being called a “pronoun mishap

Nobody talks about -the ongoing gay health crisis

Image
There exists today a massive crisis within the “gay” community that is a direct result of the intense trauma, particularly in “gay” men, experienced during the height of AIDS epidemic. The current rather conservative swerve towards embracing, what queer theorists used to call “heterocentric norms,” by a small subsect of the “gay” community in their rush towards same-sex marriage, parenthood, and social responsibility, I argue is not a sign of progress, but of intense panic. For those of us , like myself, who lived through the 1980s and 90s, subconsciously, back then we all realized the “gay” experiment had failed us. I first saw this in the often myopic vision of ACT-UP and their repeatedly ugly and unfounded accusations against those who initially had very little to do with the rise of the AIDS epidemic. This hysteria of blame reached a violent apogee when  a 1989 demonstration  went out of control at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City : a group of protestors entered t

YouTube bans ‘Gay Pride’ video because it ‘sexualizes minors’

Image
Two days ago, we posted a story about a  shocking video  showing a little girl waving a rainbow flag in front of a nearly nude male dancer during a “gay pride” celebration.   The video was too offensive, so the “dancer” was blurred out . But it was important in order to draw attention to the super- sexualization of children through exposure to “ Gay Pride ” events, which often display full or partial nudity and provocative simulated sex or dance.   Bravo, YouTube ! In a move that was as stunning as the story, YouTube quickly removed the video and issued a warning, saying “YouTube isn’t the place for nudity or sexually provocative content. Sexual content involving minors is particularly sensitive. YouTube prohibits uploading, commenting, or engaging in any type of activity that sexualizes minors.” The warning went further, saying “Your video, ‘ Girl watches man’s vulgar dance at Gay Pride Parade ’ was flagged for review ... we’ve determined that it violates our guidel

U.S. Bishop: No funerals, Communion for people in same-sex ‘marriages’

Image
Those in same-sex "marriages" shouldn't present themselves to or be admitted to Holy Communion , nor may they receive a Catholic funeral if they died without showing signs of repentence, Illinois Bishop Thomas Paprocki says. Paprocki is the Catholic bishop of Springfield, Illinois and well-known to the pro-life and pro-family movements for his defense of Catholic orthodoxy and morality. On June 12, Paprocki signed a " Decree Regarding Same-Sex 'Marriage' and Related Pastoral Issues ." It was sent to priests and diocesan staff last week and subsequently leaked to media sympathetic with the homosexual cause.  "The Church has not only the authority, but the serious obligation, to affirm its authentic teaching on marriage and to preserve and foster the sacred value of the married state," Paprocki explained after reminding his flock of "the clear and consistent teaching of the Catholic Church since her founding by Our Lord Jesus C
