GAY TRUTH

November 6, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Voters in Maine , Maryland , Minnesota and Washington will weigh in on the same-sex “marriage” issue in today’s elections.  Homosexual activists hope that President Obama ’s  recent endorsement  of same-sex “marriage” will influence voters to support gay nuptials in a statewide vote, a victory they have yet to win.  Today’s outcomes may have national implications in the face of two looming Supreme Court battles over the issue. In the month ahead, the Court will hear challenges to both the Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8, a ballot measure that repealed California’s same-sex “marriage” law. “If even in this environment we still lost all four [states], it would be a significant setback and we would have to re-evaluate the state by state strategy,” homosexual activist Richard Socarides told Politico. “If with all this money, and with the president’s backing, and with all the public support, we can’t even break even on these, the

When asked if he thought he had an important voice to

For those who regard homosexual behavior to be sinful, it’d be hard to imagine someone less offensive, definitive, and informed than Joel Osteen . He doesn’t preach about the holiness of God and he doesn’t preach about sin, much less the sin of homosexuality. To my knowledge, he never talks about it unless asked on a talk show. But that’s not good enough, as can be seen in his most recent interview on CNN : This reminded me of a  recent comment  from Carl Trueman, in typical Trueman style: You really do kid only yourselves if you think you can be an orthodox Christian and be at the same time cool enough and hip enough to cut it in the wider world. Frankly, in a couple of years it will not matter how much urban ink you sport, how much fair trade coffee you drink, how many craft brews you can name, how much urban gibberish you spout, how many art house movies you can find that redeemer figure in, and how much money you divert from gospel preaching to social justice: maintain
