GAY TRUTH

Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, Cincinnati (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) April 8, 2015 ( FRCBlog.com ) -- In early 1991, Curt Smith hired me to serve in the press office of U.S. Sen. Dan Coats (R-IN).  He was my boss for more than three years, working in harness for one of the finest men to serve in the Senate in recent memory. Curt is a gracious, soft-spoken man who has a deep love for people.  He was patient with me as I grew in my role and has been a friend for, now, nearly a quarter of a century. He is also a committed follower of Jesus Christ who, while working for the prestigious law firm Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP , also served as head of the Indiana Family Institute.  Now, due to his support for Indiana Governor Mike Pence’s original religious liberty bill, Curt has lost his job.  As  Indianapolis’s WISH-TV tells it : Until last week Smith was the director of public policy at the Taft Law firm. One of its biggest clients is Cummins , the Columbus bas

March 3, 2014 ( FRC ) - At 680 words, Arizona 's  SB 1062  didn't take a yeoman's effort to read. But it was an effort, unfortunately, that few people bothered to make. If they had, the debate over the state's religious liberty measure would have been met by more yawns than pitchforks. Instead, Arizona's innocent attempt to tweak a law once embraced by the likes of Ted Kennedy turned into a blowup of national proportions. In a matter of days, liberal activists from across the country descended on Arizona and whipped up a frenzy of opposition based on what even liberal law professors called "egregious misrepresentations." The media's coverage stunned supporters of SB 1062, who wondered how the press could be talking about the same bill the legislature had just passed. To hear reporters tell it, the measure was a license for widespread discrimination -- when in reality, the only thing being discriminated against was the truth! All SB 1062 did was e

Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, 2008 US presidential candidate. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) WASHINGTON, D.C. , August 7, 2012,  – Mitt Romney stands by a 1994 statement that the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) should admit homosexuals to the organization, as members or adult supervisors, according to a campaign spokesperson.  During a 1994 debate with Ted Kennedy ,  Romney said , “I support the right of the Boy Scouts of America to decide what it wants to do on that issue. I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.” Campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul  confirmed  that Mitt Romney continues to hold that belief today.  However, she said Romney, who served as a member of its executive board, has not pressured the organization to change its stance and does not wish to see the Scouts  forced to accept homosexuals . LifeSiteNews.com revealed that some chapters of the Boy Scouts do not consider the nati

Image via Wikipedia A priest in the diocese of Fall River has sharply criticized a Boston mass that was originally billed as a “ gay pride ” celebration, saying that the event was “the worst type of pastoral malpractice” on the part of parish leaders. In  columns  published by The Anchor, Rev. Roger Landry said that the so-called “gay pride” Mass in Boston “has brought to the surface issues that extend far beyond the boundaries of one parish or archdiocese.” In June the diocese cancelled the Mass originally planned by the St. Cecilia parish’s Rainbow Ministry to coincide with the city’s gay pride month, and allowed the event to be rescheduled in July as a “Welcoming Mass.” While the diocese denied the Mass was intended to celebrate gay pride, the original announcement in the parish bulletin had explicitly said the mass was to be held “in celebration of Boston’s Pride Month .” “The controversy touches not only on the subject of the pastoral care of the Church toward those with sam
