My husband became a ‘woman,’ and it ruined our marriage – and my future relationships

Image
MELBOURNE, Australia , – What happens when a good Catholic girl marries the man of her dreams, and then he tells her he thinks he's a woman? It yields heartbreak and a lifetime of emotionally stunted relationships, according to an autobiographical essay in Sunday's  Sydney Morning Herald   that asks society to consider “the other side” of the transgender debate. The woman, whose name has been withheld, was 18 years-old when she met “ Ryan ,” a musician who slowly worked his way into her heart. His sense of humor made the self-described “good Catholic girl” fall for the young man, who was trying to get ahead in the 1980s Australian music scene. When he asked her to move to Melbourne with her, she had second thoughts. “I did not want to 'live in sin,'” she wrote. So, he asked for her hand in marriage. Although she believed their life was idyllic, he became sullen and withdrawn. Soon, he left her a letter saying he believed he was a woman trapped inside a

AUCKLAND, New Zealand , February 13, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com )  The LYC Big Gay Out , an event celebrating the homosexual lifestyle and all its variants, drew thousands of people, including children, on Sunday to an Auckland park. Now in its 15th year, it is described on the Big Gay Out’s  website  as “a cornerstone event on New Zealand’s rainbow calendar.” It features entertainment, market stalls and “free and confidential sexual health and HIV testing .” New Zealand Prime Minister John Key is a regular attendee at Auckland's 'Big Gay Out'. People were encouraged to bring their family and friends for a picnic.  There were face painters available and performers just for the children.  People were reminded that the playground would be open and available. The Big Gay Out is sponsored by  Love Your Condom ,  “a community-focused programme designed to create a condom culture across Aotearoa New Zealand.”  It is aimed specifically at gay and bisexual men.

Police used systematic violent force against French traditional marriage demonstrators: report

A report  will be presented today at a hearing at the Council of Europe detailing systematic use of excessive and violent police actions by France’s socialist government to suppress opposition to the same-sex “marriage” law. (Read the report  here  - PDF) The report on the French “Manif pour Tous and its police repression” will be presented in conjunction with today’s session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and will be presented to the United Nations in Geneva . Reports of police violence, including arbitrary arrest and pepper spraying, were rife during the demonstrations against the new gay "marriage" law. The hearing was organized by the European People’s Party and the Strasbourg-based European Centre for Law and Justice , in the presence of Luca Volontè, President of the EPP Group . The report contains numerous testimonies of victims of police brutality in the course of several mass demonstrations against “gay marriage.” Since late 20

Pro heterosexual marriage revolution building in France: up to 1 million march

The French have done it again. Two weeks after same-sex “marriage” became legal, the odds seemed against a major turnout for the latest national demonstration against the new law. And the minister of the Interior , Manuel Valls , certainly did his best to discourage would-be participants from joining the march: all day Saturday, he sent out alarming messages on television and on the radio warning that in view of expected violence families with children would do best to stay at home. But on Sunday, organizers estimated that up to a million people marched from three different points in Paris towards the Invalides , including large numbers of young people and families with children and babies in push-cars. One mother answering the press said she had originally intended to come without her kids – Valls’ intimidation tactics encouraged her to bring them along.  The estimate given by organizers is more than six times the number given out by the ministry of the Interior. However, hav

March 25, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - According to organizers, nearly one and a half million people joined the third demonstration in five months against the legalization of same-sex “marriage” by the French government in Paris , on Sunday. Meanwhile, large numbers of demonstrators who were unable to join the main venue – which had filled up by 3 p.m. – or who headed straight to the largest and most prestigious Parisian thoroughfare, the Champs-Elysées , were sprayed with tear-gas and beaten as they neared the presidential palace. Victims included children as young as 6 years old, elderly gentlemen, women of all ages, middle-aged priests and monks, and even a baby aged 10 months. One boy, aged 14, named Lancelot, needed respiratory assistance for half an hour; another youth, Léonard, 17, was gassed and subsequently seized by riot police who threw him down the stairs at the entrance of a nearby subway station.

Pro-gay ‘marriage’ march in France eclipsed by much larger traditional marriage rally

January 31, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - An estimated 120,000 people, according to the police, demonstrated in Paris on Sunday afternoon in support of government plans to legalize same-sex “marriage” and abortion. Organizers of the event – LGBT associations, “homoparental” family unions, trade unions, high school unions and the socialist, communist, leftwing and green parties – claim 400,000 people took to the streets in the sunny winter weather. If police numbers are correct that would indicate as many as ten times the number of people took part in t he demonstration against homosexual “marriage”  earlier this month. According to some estimates more than a million people participated in the marches opposing gay “marriage.” Given that Sunday’s event was a response to that enormous show of force, it would appear the defenders of “pro-true marriage” won hands down.  Pro-gay “marriage” campaigners clearly anticipated their loss. On Saturday, homosexualist leaders were already
