Gay Advocate Dan Savage attack: redefines ‘bullying’

Image
It all began when the National High School Journalism Conference invited a gay rights activist named Dan Savage to speak to students in Seattle about the need to prevent bullying . But it turned out that this was a lesson Savage badly needed to learn himself. To the shock of the students, Savage launched a vicious attack on the Bible and Christian beliefs. As he put it, “We can learn to ignore the BS in the Bible about gay people.” Of course he didn’t say BS. As Savage continued his attack, some students broke into tears. Dozens of offended students walked out of the auditorium. As they left, Savage heckled them with vulgar words I can’t repeat. Dan Savage speaks at the National High School Journalism Conference One of the teachers present — Rick Tuttle of Sutter Union High School in California — said the speech “took a real dark, hostile turn ... It became very hostile toward Christianity.” Savage later apologized for using vulgarity to describe the students. But he

Story claiming Wash. state ruled against Church marriage collections ‘misleading,’ official says

OLYMPIA, August 31, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - A Washington state official has called an Associated Press report misleading for suggesting that the government was banning the Catholic Church from taking collections to support a traditional marriage initiative. An  AP report Tuesday entitled “Catholic churches can’t collect donations to overturn gay marriage law, Washington state rules”  was widely cited on homosexual news blogs and other outlets this week. Catholic Church leaders in the state are preparing to take collections in September supporting a “no” vote on R-74, which will appear on the November ballot to give voters a chance to endorse or reject the state’s same-sex “marriage” law. The allegation may have begun with Dan Savage 's newspaper. The report was followed by a Thursday report spotlighting Protect Marriage Washington for supporting the allegedly illegal gift method, with the headline:  “Washington anti-gay marriage law group encourages ‘bundling’ don

There is no rational support for Gay Marriage at all!

Image via CrunchBase NOM's President Brian Brown absolutely put a smackdown on Dan Savage the other day in their grand debate about marriage in Seattle, Washington . For those who don't know him, Savage is the foul-mouthed face of the gay marriage movement. To understand how badly Brian demolished Savage, consider this: Savage is complaining about the subject chosen for the debate (which his hand-picked moderator selected); he's complaining about the location (his own dining room table, also his choice); The New York Times reporter who moderated decided to write a kitschy odd-ball article about the encounter (including how he was drunk), rather than a substantive review of the debate, and Savage has buried the video of the debate down near the bottom of his own website. In other words, Brian so demolished Dan Savage that gay activists and the media now want to bury it. Let's begin at the beginning. You may remember when Savage was a keynote speaker at a national

Amazon founder donates $2.5 million to same-sex ‘marriage’ campaign

OLYMPIA, Washington , July 31, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - The fight for traditional marriage in Washington state is heating up with the announcement that billionaire Jeff Bezos , the founder of Amazon .com, and his wife, MacKenzie, have pledged $2.5 million to homosexual lobbyists. The donation comes after opponents of the state’s new gay “marriage” law stopped the legislation in its tracks by collecting and filing over 240,000 signatures in support of a referendum on the November ballot. The contribution makes the Amazon couple the largest financial backer of homosexual “rights” in the state, according to  the NY Times , far outstripping the $100k donation by Bill Gates and Steven A. Ballmer of Microsoft. Gov. Christine Gregoire of Washington State, a Democrat, signed  the homosexual “marriage” bill into law in February, making Washington the seventh U.S. state to redefine marriage, in addition to the District of Columbia . The bill was expected to take effect in Jun

SEATTLE, Washington , April 16, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Several Catholic parishes in Seattle are refusing to participate in an effort to oppose same sex “marriage” legislation, despite the local bishop’s support for the campaign. A bill legalizing homosexual “marriage” was passed by the Washington State legislature earlier this year and signed into law by Catholic Governor Christine Gregoire . Opponents are attempting to gather the 120,000 signatures necessary for a referendum, so that the state’s citizens will have a chance to vote on the legislation this November. Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain In a letter sent to parishes throughout the Archdiocese, Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain authorized churches to gather signatures for the referendum, and reiterated his support for the measure. The archbishop has been an active opponent of gay “marriage” in Washington State, and testified against it before a State Senate Committee earlier this year. At least three Catholic chur

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) NOM are urging consumers across the globe to "Dump Starbucks" because the massive international corporation has taken a corporate -wide position that marriage between one man and one woman should be eliminated and that same-sex marriage should become the norm.  As such, Starbucks has declared it will use its influence and resources in a culture war against at least half its US customers, and against the vast majority of its international consumers who do not share Starbucks' position. On January 24, 2012, the Starbucks corporation   issued a memorandum  to all "US Partners" declaring that same-sex marriage "is aligned with Starbucks business practices" and "is core to who we are and what we value as a company."

SEATTLE , January 30, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – In news that will come as a heavy blow to many coffee lovers, Starbucks has officially backed homosexual ‘marriage.’ In a January 24 letter to U.S. partners, Kalen Holmes, Starbucks executive vice president, expresses support for the homosexual “marriage” legislation in Washington State .  The “important legislation,” says Holmes “is core to who we are and what we value as a company.” The legislation  has been decried  by pro-family advocates as a major threat to freedom, since it would force religious institutions to open the doors of their facilities for homosexual “ marriages .” The letter, which boasts of the company’s LGBT activism begins, “Starbucks is proud to join other leading Northwest employers in support of Washington State legislation recognizing marriage equality for same-sex couples.” The letter concludes: “We look forward to seeing this legislation enacted into law.” “I’m disappointed that Starbucks wants to redefi
