Wedding business defends double-page advert calling gay marriage a ‘perversion’

Image
A wedding business has taken out a double-page ad to tell homosexual people to find another venue that will take their booking, after a same-sex couple inquired about their service. Bob and Genie Flournoy rent out their picturesque mansion and run a bed and breakfast in East Texas for wedding celebrations. But their business, Texas Forest Country Weddings, felt the need to advertise that it will not support any ‘perversion of marriage’ after a gay couple inquired about using their facilities. The advert, printed in local publication Journey Magazine, said: ‘Our Christian faith demands that we not participate in homosexual, transgender or any other perversion of marriage.  ‘If you disagree with our stance on marriage, please respect our Christian belief and have your wedding elsewhere.’ Bob recently appeared on local TV station , KTRE-TV , to defend the advert that was published back in July. He told the channel: ‘I’m tired of everything having to be politically corr

School stops enSchool stops enforcing Obama’s trans bathroom policy after parents pulled kids out

Image
A Michigan school district has stopped the practice of allowing members of one biological sex to use the restrooms of the opposite sex after parents pulled their two sons out of elementary school over the issue. Last week, Matt Stewart's nine-year-old son told him, "There was   a girl in the boys’ bathroom " with him and other male elementary kids.  When Stewart called the school, the principal told him the Obama administration's federal guidance on transgender students forced them to allow transgender students in the bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers of their chosen gender, and not their biological sex. Violating the policy means losing federal funding. Stewart talked it over with his wife, and they decided to take their sons out of Southwest Elementary School in Howell, Michigan . Now, after publicly complaining that parents should have been consulted, Stewart says, "over the last few days they have actually changed their positions.”  Howell

Whole Foods sues gay pastor who claimed they put slur on his ‘Love Wins’ cake

Image
Openly homosexual pastor Jordan Brown filed a lawsuit claiming that a Whole Foods in Austin added an anti-gay slur to a cake he ordered. Now, the chain has launched a lawsuit alleging he lied about the whole incident. Brown said he asked for a cake that said "Love Wins," but after he left the store he discovered the cake said "Love Wins Fag." In a lawsuit filed within hours of buying the cake on Monday, Brown said he was seeking damages and monetary relief for   mental anguish, court costs and other expenses . Whole Foods Market quickly produced a surveillance video disputing his story. “Our team member wrote 'Love Wins' at the top of the cake as requested by the guest, and that's exactly how the cake was packaged and sold at the store,” Whole Foods Marketing Field Associate Rachel Malish responded. "Our team members do not accept or design bakery orders that include language or images that are offensive," Malish said.  "

The ‘plague’ of homosexuality in the priesthood: are we reliving the past?

Image
The "cancer" of sodomy among priests threatens to bring down the wrath of God upon the Church, according to a Catholic saint and doctor who addressed a similar crisis in the priesthood over 900 years ago. In his  Book of Gomorrah ,  recently published in a new translation by Ite ad Thomam Books and Media, Damian takes special aim at the growing acceptability of homosexuality among the clergy , warning that it is “creeping through the clerical order, and indeed is raging like a cruel beast within the sheepfold of Christ.” He warns that unless this growing tolerance of homosexuality among clerics and the faithful is rooted out, “it is certain that the sword of divine fury is looming to attack, to the destruction of many.”  The  Book of Gomorrah  seems particularly relevant in the face of recent statements about homosexuality from the most influential leaders and groups within the Catholic Church which have led many to believe that the Church stands ready to adopt a

Ottawa trustees lash out at leading psychiatrist for criticizing ‘gender identity’ policy

A prominent Canadian psychiatrist and long time critic of gender theory has called gender guidelines being considered for public schools in the nation’s capital both “biased and bigoted” for ignoring the mental health and safety of the 97 percent of students outside the LGBTQ orbit. But several elected trustees of the Ottawa-Carleton public board don’t appear to be interested in protecting the majority of “straight” students, responding to a request for comment from LifeSiteNews with ad hominem attacks on this reporter and on the psychiatrist, Dr. John Berger . Several trustees replied to LifeSite’s request for comment with a link to websites attacking the long time psychotherapist and examiner of applicants to board certification as psychiatrists.   Berger called the Carleton-Ottawa Gender Identity and Gender Expression Guide “one of the most biased and bigoted documents I have come across in a long time. In their efforts to be oh so accommodating to the possible feelings of

Juno’ actress Ellen Page accosts Ted Cruz over LGBT rights. His response is a must-see (video)

Hollywood stars often confront conservative politicians for holding to traditional morality - but they seldom give those conservatives a chance to respond. On Friday, the actress Ellen Page questioned Senator and Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz about his policies for " LGBT people being fired for just strictly being gay or trans[gender]." "We're seeing Bible-believing Christians being persecuted for living according to their faith,"Cruz replied, citing the case of Dick and Betty Odgaard, the Iowa couple who lost their business for refusing to participate in a same-sex "wedding" ceremony. "We're a country that respects pluralism and diversity, and there is this liberal intolerance that says that anyone who follows a Biblical teaching...must be persecuted, must be fined, must be driven out of business." Page then cited homosexuals being jailed in the past in some states. Cruz responded that America is far from an

‘I hope you f——ing go to Hell’: Activist screams at Texas gov for supporting natural marriage

Texas Governor Greg Abbott was traveling with his wife Cecilia and their daughter, 18-year-old Audrey, when a 32-year-old man who had just shaken the governor's hand began screaming at him. Abbott's offense? Supporting natural marriage. “I hope you f---ing go to Hell because of your stance on gay marriage,” the violent gay activist yelled, face-to-face with the governor, according to Abbott spokesman Matt Hirsch, in full view of Abbott's wife, Texas ' First Lady Cecilia Abbott, and their daughter. Then, the unidentified same-sex "marriage" supporter threatened the Texas governor.  "I'll see you on the plane," he said, as Texas troopers traveling with Abbott told the man to step away. The incident happened at John F. Kennedy International Airport , where officials pulled the man who accosted the governor off the flight, gave him a hotel room for the night, and put him on another flight the next day. Media coverage of this gay "m

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Franklin Graham : As you've heard by now, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that same-sex marriage is legal in all 50 states. Even Texas moved immediately to start issuing same-sex marriage licenses. The good news, if there is any, is the Supreme Court did not define marriage, and therefore is not entitled to re-define it. "Long before our government came into existence, marriage was created by the One who created man and woman— Almighty God —and His decisions are not subject to review or revision by any manmade court," Graham said. "God is clear about the definition of marriage in His Holy Word: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh" (Gen. 2:24). "I pray God will spare America

Princeton rescinds employment offer to researcher who faked pro-homosexual study

photograph of the justices, cropped to show Justice Scalia (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Princeton University has retracted  its offer to hire Michael LaCour, the UCLA grad student behind a fake study purporting to show data favorable to homosexual activists. The study, conducted by LaCour and Columbia University professor Donald Green and published in the magazine Science last December, claimed that activists could swing people to support same-sex “marriage” in the span of 20 minutes by one personal conversation. Further, the study alleged, the results of these conversations would not only last for a year, but also spread to members of the converts' households. Green repudiated the study in late May of this year after other researchers failed to reproduce its conclusions. Science officially retracted the study on May 28. After the retraction, LaCour released a 23-page-long statement in which he apologized for "errors in design, implementation, and data collection"
