WASHINGTON, D.C., July 24, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews ) – In an  interview  with the Christian Broadcasting Network , Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) said he believes the legalization of same-sex “marriage” may lead to those who express religious objections to homosexuality being prosecuted for hate speech . Sen. Ted Cruz “If you look at other nations that have gone down the road towards gay marriage, that’s the next step of where it gets enforced,” Cruz told CBN host David Brody. “It gets enforced against Christian pastors who decline to perform gay marriages, who speak out and preach biblical truths on marriage, that has been defined elsewhere as hate speech, as inconsistent with the enlightened view of government.” In Canada, where gay ‘marriage’ was legalized in 2005, Christian pastors, public officials, educators and business owners have all faced heavy fines and lengthy court battles after speaking critically of the homosexual lifestyle. In one case a pastor  was fined $7000  a

English: Sweden. Stockholm County. Nynäshamn (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) LONDON , July 27, 2012  — A Swedish high-school student recently failed a biology class for saying that homosexuality is abnormal, according to Swedish national news-site , svt.se. The site  reports  that a grade 8 student at Nynäshamn Highschool in Stockholm County , Sweden , expressed the opinion that homosexuality was “onormalt” — literally “abnormal” — and, as a result, received a failing grade. When the student questioned the grade, the teacher reportedly replied that it was because of the student’s opinions. The goal of the school’s curriculum, the teacher said, was that students show respect for different sexual orientations , and the student’s views did not correspond with that goal. Any expert in biology would clearly understand the design and function of biological sexual organs, that match and perform a biological function. For the penis to be inserted in the male anus (the organ used to d

Anyone challenging the homosexualist agenda in public in Sweden can be sent to prison, and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ruled that this does not constitute any violation of rights. In 2004, the Swedish government charged a group of pamphleteers with “agitation against a national or ethnic group ,” a crime that carries a maximum penalty of 2 years in prison. The four appealed to the ECHR, which  ruled  on February 9th that their application was “manifestly ill-founded”. The court said that the conviction constituted no violation of Article 10 ( Freedom of Expression ) of the European Convention on Human Rights . It was a “legitimate and proportional interference” with the applicant

Image via Wikipedia MELBOURNE, Australia , – Prostitution may be legal in the Australian provinces of Victoria and New South Wales , but this hasn’t stopped legal brothels from having ties to human trafficking , sex slavery and organized crime, according to recent police investigations. The results of the investigations have led critics to denounce the decriminalization of prostitution in these states. The Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) said the government attempt to regulate the sex trade has failed, and has exacerbated rather than solved the dangers to the women involved. A report in  The Age  states that state authorities have not taken action against legal brothels in Victoria and New South Wales - at least three in Melbourne and two in Sydney - that have been linked to an international sex slavery ring run by Asian organized crime.
