Same-sex ‘marriage’ doesn’t improve LGBT health: Study

Image
Same-sex “marriage” in the United States is not improving the health of gays and lesbians, according to a study by the National Bureau of Economic Research, an American think-tank. In their paper, Effects of Access to Legal Same-Sex Marriage on Marriage and Health: Evidence from BRFSS , the researchers say that the legalization of same-sex “marriage” has improved access to healthcare for gays and lesbians. Even with that improved healthcare access, though, those in same-sex “marriages” did not see any sort of bump up in their health, they concluded. Health indicators for lesbians in these legally-recognized “marriages” did not suggest they are any healthier than non-“married” lesbians. Gay men in these “marriages” also showed no improvement in their health. “Turning to health outcomes, we find no relationship between legal access to same-sex marriage and self-rated health, substance use, or preventive care take-up for men in same-sex households,” the authors wrote. The lack of a

Prof fired by Catholic university for defending marriage has huge court win

Image
The professor forced out by a  Jesuit-run  Catholic university for blogging about an undergrad student being  assailed by his teacher  for his having voiced defence of marriage has won in court. In a landmark decision Friday the Wisconsin Supreme Court said Marquette University violated John McAdams’ right to free speech when it suspended him for writing the blog post, and it ordered the University to restore McAdams immediately with his full rank, tenure, compensation and benefits. “The undisputed facts show that the University breached its contract with Dr McAdams when it suspended him for engaging in activity protected by the contract's guarantee of academic freedom,” court documents say. The Court wrote further that, "we reverse the circuit court and ... order the University to immediately reinstate Dr McAdams with unimpaired rank, tenure, compensation, and benefits." Breaking details were  shared  on Twitter by Weekly Standard author Charlie Sykes.  The

Around the world, June should be anything but ‘Pride or Sodomy Month’

Image
Is there any religious, political, or another social group that secures – demands – the attention of the whole globe for an entire month? Just one: The LGBT Cabal – the elite coterie of persons who wage war daily against natural law and nature’s God. Around the world, in almost every nation, June is “Pride Month.” For 30 days the world’s billions are expected to remain in the thrall of LGBT ideology and its adherents. Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, Rhode Island, recently issued a statement on Twitter warning Catholics about events that celebrate gay pride month. "Catholics should be very wary of events in the June LGBTQ month. It’s not a fun-filled, family-friendly celebration of respect. It promotes a lifestyle and agenda that, in the extreme, is morally offensive." Why hasn’t every bishop sounded the alarm as Bishop Tobin has? Let’s face it: The term "Pride Month" as used by gays is a euphemism, a ruse. June is more appropriately called “ Sodomy Month ,

SCOTUS gets it right in Masterpiece Cakeshop case

Image
The Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling this week (7-2) in favour of the First Amendment. The Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission (CCRC) case was about cake artistry, free speech and religious freedom. The clear majority held that: "The Commission's actions, in this case, violated the Free Exercise Clause [of the First Amendment]." Jack Phillips , a cake artist and owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Colorado, is a man of quiet courage, conviction and compassion. Though he's been demonized by LGBT activists, including the ACLU (which is representing plaintiffs Charlie Craig and Dave Mullins), he has always served everyone. He simply doesn't participate in or creates for every event. Like many creatives, he doesn't use his artistry for every occasion. He doesn't make Halloween cakes. He doesn't create anything with anti-American or "adult" themes. He doesn't make divorce cakes. And he doesn't use his artistic e

Christian ministry forced to cancel LA conference due to bill banning Biblical views on sexuality

Image
While not yet enacted into law, the fallout from the expected passage of California AB 2943 has begun as a Christian youth ministry cancels its planned summer conference in Los Angeles .   The youth ministry made the heartbreaking decision because many analysts suspect that the state’s controversial legislation will effectively end up banning any Christian teaching – whether written or spoken – which suggests that homosexuality and transgenderism are disordered in any way.    Summit Ministries , which had planned a 12-day student training conference at Biola University outside Los Angeles, decided to play it safe, choosing to cancel the event because of concerns that California will forbid some of what it teaches. Jeff Myers , president of Summit, called AB2943 “the most blatant chilling of free speech in America in my lifetime,” according to a  statement  released by the organization.   “We are grieved that it has come to this, but we simply cannot put our students, st

U.S. Episcopal Church bows to gay pressure, deletes ‘husband and wife’ from marriage liturgy

Image
The Church of England is torn over plans by The Episcopal Church (TEC) in the United States to efface the terms “husband” and “wife” – as well as references to “procreation” – from its marriage liturgy. The change is meant to make the church’s marriage ceremonies more “gay-friendly.” Gay and lesbian Episcopalians have complained that the language of the current liturgy is offensive and exclusionary. The move prompted a critical response from Church of England SecrSecretary-General liam Nye last October, strongly urging the TEC to reconsider. The letter threatened to cut ties with the U.S. church if it adopts the planned gender-neutral, replacing the current wording in its Book of Common Prayer . “The new service removes the phrase ‘the union of husband and wife’ and replaces it with ‘the union of two people,’” according to a report in the U.K. Telegraph . It also “replaces the section which talks about part of God's intention for marriage being ‘for the procreation of childre

Lawyer behind homosexual ‘marriage’ burns himself to death as eco protest

Image
A pro- LGBT lawyer and homosexual doused himself with fossil fuels and burned himself to death on Saturday morning as part of an environmental protest. Some are calling his suicide a sign of " mental illness ." Many would agree. 'Mental illness issue'  Actor James Woods tweeted that  Buckel’s suicide was a mental health issue, not an environmental policy one. The lawyer was David Buckel, a 60-year-old who previously worked as the Marriage Project Director for Lambda Legal , a law firm that specializes in cases related to transgenderism, homosexuality, and same-sex “marriage.” Buckel was a homosexual and leaves behind a college-aged daughter, Hannah. He and his gay partner “co-parented Hannah with another couple, Rona and Cindy Vail,” the  New York Daily News  reported. A broken confusing family now gives clear evidence that the LGBT experiment is simply dangerous to families.  Buckel left a suicide note in a shopping cart near where his charred body

Air Force reinstates colonel suspended for not thanking homosexual serviceman’s ‘spouse’

Image
The U.S. Air Force has reversed course after initially suspending and denying a promotion for a colonel who refused to sign a “certificate of appreciation” for one of his airmen’s same-sex “marriage.” In a letter sent to members of Congress on Monday, Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson confirmed the Air Force is restoring the command of Colonel Leland B.H. Bohannon, the Military Times   reported . Bohannon is commander of the Air Force Inspection Agency at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, and a distinguished serviceman of more than 20 years. He flew combat missions in Afghanistan and Iraq, and has received numerous commendations such as the Bronze Star, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal , and the Air Medal. Wilson also affirmed that Bohannon “had the right to exercise his sincerely held religious beliefs and did not unlawfully discriminate when he declined to sign the certificate.” Last fall, Bohannon’s command  was revoked  and his promotion to Brigadier Gene

UN’s radical agenda pushes sex, LGBT education starting in kindergarten

Image
The United Nations published new “comprehensive” sex-ed guidelines for schools, taking its cues from Planned Parenthood to help teachers instruct kindergarteners in LGBTQIA + ideology and practice. The U.N. Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization ( UNESCO ) revised and renamed its 2009 “Comprehensive Sexuality Education ” (CSE) document, pushing contraceptive-based sex ed in what  the New American  calls “a full-blown assault on parental rights and traditional morality” that “could devastate a generation of young people.” Despite the objections of various member states, the “ International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education ” takes U.N. abortion promotion a step further, indoctrinating children in pro-abortion, pro- homosexuality , pro-transgenderism, and pro-fornication propaganda starting at age five.   Critics say these sex-ed standards  sexualize kindergarten children  and advocate masturbation, abortion, gender confusion, homosexuality, homosexual p
