GAY TRUTH

OKLAHOMA, OK, March 9, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – He introduced a bill that said homosexual activists needed to live and let live. Their reaction – threatening to kill his children – proves his point, he says. Homosexual activists have sent bullying and intimidating messages – including threats of violence – to Oklahoma State Sen. Joseph Silk , R-Broken Bow, after he sponsored a bill that would have said business owners were free to follow their religious convictions. The bill became necessary following a string of cases in states such as Washington and New Mexico , in which Christian proprietors have been sued for refusing to take part in gay “weddings.” After seeing the potentially devastating consequences awaiting those who refused to affirm the homosexual lifestyle, he decided, “We need to get legislation on the books before that becomes an issue” in his own state. Sen. Silk spoke with Bryan Fischer of the AFR Talk Radio Network this afternoon. Although his bill never

Supporters of now-former Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran, who was fired last week over his Christian beliefs , rallied at the Georgia State Capitol Monday, while homosexual activists are praising the controversial firing, and some are warning about the case’s implications for religious freedom . Hundreds of Christians and faith leaders held a January 12  rally  to support Cochran and religious freedom legislation currently under consideration in the Georgia House. The gathering started out at the Georgia State Capitol before participants marched to Atlanta’s City Hall to present 28,000 signatures to the mayor’s office in support of the bill. Cochran was fired  by Mayor Kasim Reed January 6 after a  30-day suspension stemming from Cochran’s authoring a Bible study for men that discussed the Christian definition of sexual purity in two segments of the 160-page book. The brief passages touch on homosexuality along with other things, and their frankness upset homosexual supporte

Last week, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case that could do for same-sex marriage what  Roe v. Wade  did for abortion-on-demand. What concerns me, besides the obvious prospect of having marriage permanently redefined in American law , is the impact of such a ruling on religious freedom . As you know from listening to BreakPoint, there is ample reason for concern on that score. Recent events have demonstrated that the clash between gay rights and religious freedom is a zero-sum game . That’s why a recent column by Frank Bruni of the New York Times concerned me so profoundly. From the start, Bruni, who is himself gay, demonstrates that he does not, or perhaps cannot, understand this issue. He begins by telling readers that he “chafes” at being called “a threat to your religious liberty.” He then goes on to dispute the idea that allowing “men who have romantic relationships with other men and maybe want to marry them” will somehow run roughshod over someone’s creed. In f

Marriage plays a fundamental role in civil society because it is characterized by sexual complementarity, monogamy, exclusivity, and permanence. These marriage norms encourage men and women to commit permanently and exclusively to each other and take responsibility for their children.[1] In recent decades, a revisionist view of marriage has eroded these norms. No-fault divorce was the first major trend to undermine a strong marriage culture. Now the effort to redefine marriage away from male-female complementarity has gone even further in abandoning the central characteristics of the institution. But if the law redefines marriage to say the male-female aspect is arbitrary, what principle will be left to retain monogamy, sexual exclusivity, or the expectation of permanency?[2] Such developments will have high social costs. The New Language of Marriage New terms have even been coined to describe this new outlook on marriage. Here are some examples. “Monogamish.”  A 2011  New
