GAY TRUTH

August 1 marked the first day of legalized same-sex “marriages” in Minnesota and Rhode Island , after both states’ legislatures passed laws redefining marriage to include homosexual couples last spring. That brings to 13 the number of U.S. states that have redefined marriage, along with the District of Columbia. In Minnesota, Governor Mark Dayton proclaimed August 1 “ Freedom to Marry Day ,” and homosexuals started lining up outside government offices the evening before to be among the first to take advantage of the new law. At midnight, Minneapolis’s City Hall was packed with about 1,000 people who came to witness Governor Dayton, Mayor R.T. Rybak, and a handful of Hennepin County judges “marry” 67 gay and lesbian couples. In Rhode Island, there was no such fanfare. Municipal offices opened as usual at 8:30 a.m., and both homosexual activists and county clerks told local media they weren’t expecting a rush on marriage licenses. Since same-sex nuptials are already legal in a

Via:  @jhiscock Minnesota will become the 12th state in the country, plus DC , to allow same-sex couples to marry, following a 37-30 vote of the state’s Senate on Monday. I want you to note one particular comment.  Judiciary Committee Chair Ron Latz  said, “ God made gays. And god made gays capable of loving other people of the same gender . Who are we to quibble with god’s intentions?” This accusation against God's nature, his holiness and righteousness is pure  arrogance. It is possible that Latz is ignorant as to the nature of God , or that Latz maybe referring to another God but not the God of Holy Scripture.  Latz is accusing God intentionally of creating sinful beings, while at the same time scripture clearly declares that God condemns homosexuality as a grevous sin.  Yet scripture says we are made in God's image. That sin entered the world through Adam via Satan in rebellion against God.  Accusing a holy righteous God where there is no shadow o

A Human Rights Tribunal hearing into alleged discrimination of Eugene Sisneros ended at Auckland District Court today. Mr Sisneros took the Anglican Bishop of Auckland to the tribunal claiming he was barred from becoming a priest because of his sexuality - a claim the bishop denied, saying he was simply following the church 's doctrines. Mr Sisneros' lawyer David Ryken yesterday told the tribunal's three-member panel excluding someone from a training programme because of their sexuality breached Section 38 of the Human Rights Act. However, in closing arguments for the Anglican Church today, Professor Paul Rishworth argued that organised religions were exempt under Section 39 of the act. He argued a similar clause existed in the recently passed Marriage Amendment Bill, wher

In France, young people are gathering regularly to sing and pray for marriage. In Nantes, they gather at the foot of the Cross of Charette, where a famous French hero was executed in 1796. In Great Britain , David Cameron 's push for gay marriage has left his Conservative party in electoral tatters, as local elections this week proved. (From the Iron Lady to the Rubber Man in just two decades!) Here in the United States , Delaware and Minnesota both redefined marriage, making a mockery in the latter state of the voters who were told there was no need to pass a marriage amendment because there was no threat to marriage. Hard losses, yes, but the fight goes on—and not just in Illinois and the vast majority of other states that still protect marriage. Bishop Thomas Tobin of Rhode Island has just  published a letter  to faithful Rhode Island Catholics, inviting them (and I think all of us) "to a moment of prayer and reflection as we respond to this new challenge of t

PROVIDENCE, RI, April 26, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Rhode Island is poised to become the 10 th state to approve same-sex “marriage.” The Rhode Island State Senate Wednesday voted 26-12 in favor of a bill redefining marriage to include homosexual couples. The vote came after the House overwhelmingly approved the measure in January, and after Senate President Teresa Paiva-Weed , a Democrat who opposes same-sex “marriage,” nonetheless allowed the bill to come to the floor for a vote. The bill will now go back to the House for a perfunctory vote before being forwarded to Gov. Lincoln Chafee for his signature. The governor has previously expressed his support for the bill. Gov. Lincoln Chafee Once signed, the bill will take effect August 1. After that date, civil unions will no longer be available to same-sex couples in Rhode Island, only marriage. However, the state will continue to recognize existing civil partnerships that have been formed since the state approved civ

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) British Parliamentarians heard this week that if David Cameron ’s Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition government passes its same-sex “marriage” bill, the Catholic Church in England and Wales may be forced to entirely opt out of the civil aspect of conducting marriages. The government’s bill has passed by an overwhelming majority in the House of Commons and is now being studied by the Joint Committee on Human Rights . The committee heard on Tuesday from Professor Chris McCrudden, of Blackstone Chambers, the lawyer who advised the Roman Catholic Church on the bill. “The stakes could not be higher,” he said on Tuesday. Under the current wording of the bill, the “threat of litigation...would be enormous.” “If we want to keep the current  modus vivendi , it is imperative that unintended consequences that may undermine this system should be addressed now and not left until later,

While pro-family advocates have noted the incredible rate at which the homosexualist movement has gained the political upper hand in the last five years, others are voicing concern about the shrinking “social space” in the public discourse for those who still object to “ gay marriage .” Some pundits on the left and the center-right are warning that as the homosexual movement gains legislative ground, the freedom to object is narrowing and those holding out against it are increasingly under threat. The stunning advances made by the “ gay movement ” some are saying, is not a triumph for social freedom, but for an increasingly brutally enforced social conformism. Left-libertarian British journalist Brendan O’Neill warned  in a column in Spiked , that in 20 years of writing on political issues , “I have never encountered an issue like gay marriage, an issue in which the space for dissent has shrunk so rapidly, and in which the consensus is not only stifling but choking.” The
