GAY TRUTH

The push to redefine marriage and the family and thereby to de-gender society on the whole  always  ends up targeting religious individuals or groups for abject discrimination. You see, this radical agenda is its own kind of "orthodoxy" and dogmatism, and doesn't brook competition: it is intolerant of any "heresy" and insists on either converting or condemning absolutely — with no room for negotiation. Humanity, as made in God's image, "male and female," will be remade according to their own imaginings — genderless, sexless, role less — and the meaning of marriage written on our hearts will be scribbled over with nonsense. In their minds, it's as if the Creator made marriage to cause harm to gays and lesbians and to punish them with a cruel attack on their basic human dignity. It does not ever occur to them that marriage is a profound public  good  that greatly benefits men and women, and especially their children. But in this most recent

Another very important piece of legislation has been introduced in Congress and  I am urging all NOM supporters to take action today to urge their Representatives to support this critical bill: the State Marriage Defense Act of 2014. The bill, authored by Representative Randy Weber of Texas, aims to reaffirm and strengthen the right of states accorded them in the U.S. Constitution to define marriage and to have their determinations in this important matter respected by the federal government. It already enjoys over two dozen co-sponsors in the House of Representatives as it begins being debated in the House Judiciary Committee . I cannot emphasize enough how important federal legislation like this is becoming each day as we continue to see the fallout of the Supreme Court's decision last summer in the   Windsor case that challenged a particular section of DOMA : In Utah, a constitutional crisis is underway as the State works to defend its marriage amendment in the 10t

WASHINGTON, D.C. , January 10, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder   has announced  that the federal government will recognize same-sex “marriages” contracted during the brief period between December and January  when such unions took place legally  in Utah , before the U.S. Supreme Court   put a halt  to them. The announcement comes two days after Utah state officials announced that they  would not recognize the “marriages”  while the state’s challenge to a District Court ruling that struck down Utah’s voter-approved traditional marriage amendment makes its way through the courts. “I am confirming today that, for purposes of federal law, these marriages will be recognized as lawful and considered eligible for all relevant federal benefits," said Attorney General Holder (The Idiot) In  a statement , Holder said his decision to grant “married” Utah same-sex couples federal marriage benefits was based upon the U.S. Supreme Court’s  ruling last su

SALT LAKE CITY , January 8, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has halted gay “marriage” in Utah , the governor has moved to vigorously enforce state law, which is supported by the vast majority of state citizens. In 2004, 66 percent of state voters approved  Amendment 3  to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman in the state Constitution . On December 20, the Friday before Christmas, U.S. District Judge Robert J. Shelby ,  an Obama appointee, struck down Utah's constitutional marriage protection amendment . Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has halted gay “marriage” in Utah, the governor has moved to vigorously enforce state law, which is supported by the vast majority of state citizens. Shelby had indicated he would not rule until January 7. At the time of his ruling, just before Christmas break, the state did not have a  bona fide  attorney general. Governor Gary Herbert, a Republican , immediately began working with Acting Att

Well, as I'm sure you're already aware, this week saw a monumental shift in momentum for the marriage debate in our country, with the Supreme Court making an extremely rare move to grant a stay against the enforcement of a decision by a federal judge in Utah overturning that state's marriage amendment. The initial decision by Obama-appointed District Judge Robert Shelby was passed down just a few days before Christmas. Shelby ludicrously claimed that the U.S. Supreme Court's Windsordecision this past summer had set a clear and inevitable path toward a constitutional right to same-sex 'marriage' when in factWindsor found specifically that states have the right to define marriage. To add insult to injury, Shelby refused to stay his flawed decision even though the State of Utah was certain to appeal, and a flurry of same-sex 'marriages' began taking place throughout Utah. But now the Supreme Court has indicated that the State of Utah's case to uphol

U.S. Supreme Court building. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Yesterday's emergency ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court not only ended a record run of nearly 1,000 marriages in Utah . The apparently unanimous decision to temporarily restore Utah's state law banning same-sex marriages suggests this case could be the legal battle both sides of the debate have been waiting for . In June, the Supreme Court managed to rule on two separate cases involving same-sex marriage without ruling on the merits of a constitutional right to same-sex marriage. Now court watchers are assessing whether the unusually straightforward legal case in Utah likely makes it , as NPR suggests , "the case that forces the high court to wrestle [directly] with the big issue." Past cases have involved multiple legal questions or technical issues that have allowed courts to issue rulings without addressing the merits of the core issue. Kitchen v. Herbert has no technical issues and no legal q
