GAY TRUTH

Less than a week ago, an unbelievable miracle occurred, deep in the blue state of Illinois , where Democrats have a supermajority in the legislature, where President Obama campaigned for redefining marriage, where GOP turncoat Sen. Mark Kirk tried to pressure GOP State Representatives, where Rahm Emmanuel threatened and Governor Pat Quinn tried to bribe — the people of the state stood up to power and rejected same-sex marriage. As the legislature came to a close, no vote was scheduled — because bill sponsor Greg Harris and the Speaker of the House agreed only to schedule a vote if gay marriage had enough votes to prevail. Instead "a broad grassroots coalition of Illinois families of faith of all creeds and colors took on all the Illinois political bosses from Washington to the Governor's Mansion to Chicago's City Hall who tried to pay back the [gay] community for their political support," said Paul Caprio, our friend and spokesman for the Coalition to Protect Ch

The Illinois legislature will adjourn this evening without voting on a bill to redefine marriage, according to sources in Springfield. A number of well-placed sources say the House will end its session today without further action, because the bill could not pass. Illinois Public Radio’s Amanda Vinicky  tweeted , “Sources say SB10 won’t get called. Lacks votes.” The decision not to push forward is a major setback for homosexual lobbyists, who hoped the Land of Lincoln would become the 13 th  state to support same-sex “marriage.” The Bully Pulpit was defeated by the genuine article. The Democrat -dominated State Senate  voted in favor of gaysame-sex “marriage”  on February 14, by 34-21 on a mostly party-line vote. Governor Pat Quinn , who is Catholic, supports the bill and has promised to sign it if it passed. However, the measure encountered strong resistance from the African-American Caucus, spurred by a backlash within the black church. In this case, the Bully Pulp

English: Illinois Governor Pat Quinn addresses attendees before the opening of the 2010 Chicago Green Festival (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Washington, DC — The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today celebrated the failure of legislation to come to a vote late this evening in Illinois seeking to redefine marriage, thus preserving marriage in the state as the union of one man and one woman. The bill's House sponsor, Rep. Greg Harris , announced this evening that he did not have the votes to pass the measure and would not bring the legislation to a vote. Assuming this is the case, the bill is thus dead until the fall when the Legislature reconvenes for a veto session. "This effort to redefine marriage in Illinois was one of the most fiercely contested legislative battles in the country this year," said Brian Brown , NOM's president. "This is a great victory for our allies and supporters, as well as Illinois families who have worked tirelessly with us t

WASHINGTON, D.C. , February 25, 2013,  ( LifeSiteNews.com )  – As 2013 moves forward, the issues of abortion, same-sex “marriage,” and the rights of parents to ensure that public schools do not violate their moral principles have spread to statehouses across the nation. Kansas An unrelated lesbian has the same custodial rights over her former partner's children as their biological mother , the Kansas Supreme Court has ruled. The state high court ruled last Friday that Marci Frazier enjoyed the same rights over two children that her former partner, Kelly Goudschaal, conceived via artificial insemination as the biological mother herself. The justices ruled that they were upholding Frazier's relationship with Goudschaal's children in the name of “the benefits to the children,” specifically “in maintaining the inherent benefits of having two parents.” You may  read the ruling here .

SPRINGFIELD, IL , February 15, 2013, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The heavily Democratic Illinois Senate voted mostly along party lines Thursday to approve a bill redefining marriage in the state to include homosexual couples. The vote was 34-21, with three Democrats voting against the bill and only one Republican voting for it. Two additional Democrats voted “present.” Democratic Governor Pat Quinn , who is Catholic, has been publicly urging passage of a same-sex “marriage” bill for months, despite his Church’s strong opposition. If the bill passes the House for Quinn’s signature, Illinois would become the nation’s tenth state to allow same-sex “marriages,” along with the District of Columbia . Gov. Pat Quinn “Today, we are one step closer to marriage equality in Illinois,” said Governor Quinn on Thursday. “Couples across Illinois have even more reason today to celebrate their love for each other, thanks to the hard work of committed advocates and lawmakers. This historic legis

Catholic Social Services of Southern Illinois is changing its name to Christian Social Services of Illinois as of today, but the shift is more than one of semantics. The social agency is ending its 64-year affiliation with the Diocese of Belleville so it can provide adoptions to homosexual couples. “CSS has chosen to become independent of the Catholic Diocese of Belleville in order to adhere to the new State of Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act and to avoid closing the agency,” the formerly Catholic service  stated  in a press release. It added, “The mission and values of Christian Social Services will remain the same.” Gary Huelsmann, the agency’s executive director, said, “Although we are sad to lose our Catholic identity, we are excited to be able to broaden our base of support to other Christian traditions .”  “Why don’

CHICAGO, October 20, 2011  – Lawyers for Catholic Charities affiliates in three dioceses in Illinois are protesting in court after the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) said it would transfer over 1,000 children from the church-run agencies by only a fraction of the original timeline. The revelation comes at the same time as news broke that the Illinois child-welfare agency, which is taking over the children’s cases after the state pas Image via Wikipedia sed its homosexual civil unions bill, has a history of subversively administering psychotropic drugs to children without permission. “Why is the DCFS, particularly in light of the scandal that it is handling now, dealing with [Catholic Charities’] workload in a hasty manner,” asked attorney Peter Breen of the  Thomas More Society , who is representing Catholic Charities, in an interview with LifeSiteNews. Breen pointed out that the state agency has only imposed the accelerated time frame on the three affil

Image via Wikipedia A homosexual man has filed human rights complaints against two bed and breakfasts in Illinois after they refused to let out their premises for a civil union ceremony between the man and his sexual partner. Illinois Democrat Gov. Pat Quinn signed a new law allowing marriage-like privileges for homosexual couples on January 31, and the law is set to take effect in June. “We have received a complaint. We are investigating whether or not it is a violation,” said Robyn Ziegler, a spokeswoman for the Attorney General’s Office , according to The Telegraph. The owner of the first B&B, the Beall Mansion of Alton, Ill., had told the complainant, Todd Wathen of Mattoon, IL , that they only let out their premises for weddings .  The Christian owners of the second, Jim and Beth Walder of TimberCreek Bed and Breakfast of Paxton, had a similar response. In the course of e-mail correspondence with Jim Walder, Wathen argued: “starting June 1st, a civil union is a weddi
