GAY TRUTH

English: Angry woman. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) As  I recounted Monday at The Daily Signal , The New York Times reporter Josh Barro thinks some people are “unworthy of respect.” Yesterday Barro doubled-down and tweeted back at me that “some people are deserving of incivility.” He argued that I am such a person because of my views about marriage policy. You can see the entire exchange  on my twitter page . What Josh Barro says or does doesn’t really affect me. I’m not a victim, and I’ll keep doing what I do. But incivility, accepted and entrenched, is toxic to a political community. Indeed, civility is essential for political life in a pluralistic society. It also has deep roots. The Hebrew Bible tells us that all people are made in the image and likeness of God and have a profound and inherent dignity. Sound philosophy comes to a similar conclusion: as rational beings capable of freedom and love, all human beings have intrinsic and inestimable worth. And so we should al

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) HOLLYWOOD, February 24, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Stephen Colbert's parody performances usually leave liberals laughing and conservatives feeling the sting. But a segment the comedian did on  Facebook's decision to introduce more than 50 “gender” options  has LGBT activists seeing red. “The whole thing makes my brain broke,” he told his Comedy Central audience before reading many of the dozens of options to significant laughter. He singled out the term trans-asterisk – written “Trans *" – a term intended to convey that the person identifies with  every gender status . “I believe that's when you're born an asterisk but deep inside you believe you're an am

NEW YORK, December 20, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Evangelical pastor Rick Warren told CNN 's Piers Morgan that he won't change his position against same-sex "marriage," because "I fear the disapproval of God more than I fear your disapproval or the disapproval of society." Warren appeared on CNN's Piers Morgan Live on December 6. After a conversation about Warren's admiration of Pope Francis, Morgan asked the megachurch pastor if his views on same-sex "marriage" had changed since the two had discussed the issue on the program two years ago. "Have you moved at all now? Are you recognizing that there is this seemingly unstoppable movement?" Morgan asked. "Well, I don't get to change what God says is right and what God says is wrong," Warren responded. "And I think God is real clear that all sex outside of marriage is wrong." "But the issue here is the issue of respect," Warren continu

Pastor Rick Warren spoke a line to CNN's Piers Morgan that has resonated with people who, like him, have tried repeatedly to explain why they won't change their stance to support same-sex marriage. "I fear the disapproval of God more than I fear your disapproval or the disapproval of society," Warren, of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest , Calif., told the host of "Piers Morgan Live." Warren appeared on the show amid a media blitz for his new book "The Daniel Plan" about getting healthy for the glory of God, but his stand for biblical marriage continues to draw attention. A discussion of Warren's admiration of Pope Francis turned to same-sex marriage when Morgan asked whether Warren's views had evolved during the two years since the two discussed the issue on air. "Have you moved at all now? Are you recognizing that there is this seemingly unstoppable movement?" Morgan asked Warren during the show that aired Dec

A recent  report  by polling company Pew Research appears to show that there has been growing support for same-sex marriage over the last 10 years. This is unsurprising, given factors such as the media bias on the issue (see last week’s CNN segment with Piers Morgan and Ryan Anderson for just one example), President Obama and Vice-President Biden supporting it, and the growing number of celebrities and public figures in favour. According to the report, 14% of Americans have changed their minds and now support same-sex marriage. These people were asked to give reasons for why they changed their minds. The most common reason given (32% of those who changed minds) was that they know someone who is homosexual. Republican Senator Rob Portman , who a few weeks ago said he supported same-sex marriage because of his son who is homosexual, is an example of this. But this is hardly a reason for supporting same-sex marriage. Firstly, many homosexuals oppose same-sex marriage,

Cliff Kincaid, Director of the Accuracy in Media Center for Investigative Journalism, accurately notes how dishonestly our movement has been covered by the mainstream media : Significant news came out of last Tuesday's March for Marriage demonstration in Washington, D.C. But it didn't make "news" in the major media. As one who covered the event, it was significant that there were so many members of minority groups. This was not a mostly white crowd. In addition to the presence of black, Hispanic and Asian supporters of traditional marriage , there were some notable Democrats, such as New York State Senator Ruben Díaz, and he let people know he was several minorities in one. [...] J.C. Derrick [of WORLD magazine] has a good analysis of how the major media, led by The Washington Post , virtually ignored the March for Marriage. But unless you actually see what happened on the ground, as the thousands of traditional marriage supporters held their demonstration, you w

Kirk Cameron (Image via RottenTomatoes.com) HOLLYWOOD, California , March 16, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - After actor Kirk Cameron refused to back down on statements criticizing the societal effects of homosexuality, a deluge of angry retorts poured in from others in the entertainment industry, with some calling Cameron “a complete tool,” a “douchebag,” and “an accomplice to murder,” among other slurs. Cameron, formerly the child star of the sitcom “ Growing Pains ,” was steered into a discussion on homosexuality by CNN ’s Piers Morgan during an interview on Cameron’s new movie “Monumental.” In response to a question about his beliefs, Cameron called the practice of homosexuality “unnatural.” “I think that it is detrimental, and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization,” he said. In response to an initial blowback accusing him of “hatred,” Cameron  said in a statement  that that was “not true. I can assuredly say that it’s my life’s mission to love all pe

Kirk Cameron (Image via RottenTomatoes.com) Apparently believing that marriage is between a man and a woman, as millions like you and I do—and saying so publicly— is hate speech and equivalent to murder . This is what we are fighting against every day:  a vicious attempt to impose a radical social agenda while trying to silence anybody who disagrees. You see, recently, actor Kirk Cameron went on the Piers Morgan show to promote his new film,  Monumental . Cameron is a devout Christian and father of six (four of whom he adopted), who is not afraid to stand up for his beliefs—which he did when Piers (as he has been doing with so many social conservatives lately) turned the conversation quickly toward same-sex marriage. Cameron explained that he believed marriage "was defined by God a long time ago...one man, one woman for life, till death do us part." Well, as I'm sure you can guess, his answer and the subsequent discussion generated a swift and intense backlash. And
