GAY TRUTH

A West Virginia county clerk 's office has agreed to pay $10,000 in damages to a lesbian couple who said they faced disparaging remarks while applying for a marriage license last year. The incident prompted Amanda Abramovich and Samantha Brookover to sue Gilmer County Deputy Clerk Debbie Allen and Clerk Jean Butcher. According to the complaint, Allen called the couple an “abomination” and told them that God would “deal” with them while processing their application. According to The Washington Post , Allen's comments against the women lasted several minutes and another clerk shouted that it was Allen's “ religious right ” to harass the couple. When Brookover's mother, who witnessed the abuse, called the county clerk's office to complain, she said that Butcher stood by her deputy and allegedly said that the next same-sex couple that sought a marriage license “would get the same or worse” treatment. Allen has denied she called the couple an “abomination or any

Same-sex ' marriage ' activists have launched an unprecedented assault on marriage over the past 12 months. And in that time, we've seen some terrible losses for this cherished institution. But the truth is that these radicals targeted the most liberal of states — states like Illinois and Hawaii where the political situation was set up perfectly for them — and they barely eked out some incredibly narrow victories despite pouring tens of millions of dollars into their campaigns. Well, guess what? They've run out of easy targets. There are no remaining states where Democrats control both legislative houses and the governorship, except in West Virginia which is a very socially conservative state. And we have marriage amendments in place in 30 states to preserve marriage. The fight for marriage goes on — but in the coming year, the fight turns to states like Ohio and Indiana — states in which we have a decided advantage! In these states THE PEOPLE will decide at the

Marriage Day (Photo credit: Fikra ) Even though their Hawai legislators betrayed them in Hawaii and Illinois — the people continue to stand up and demand that marriage , religious liberties , and the rights of children be defended! In Hawaii, thousands came to the capital to testify in defense of marriage and religious liberty, and at least ten thousand people rallied outside the capital to let their legislators know, in no uncertain terms, that voters support marriage as the union of one man and one woman. And now, one courageous representative is even challenging the new law in court — demanding that the people have the final say on marriage. There is a silver lining now that Hawaii has voted to redefine marriage against the people's wishes: same-sex 'marriage' activists have run out of easy targets. This was the last state where Democrats held the governorship and both houses of the Legislature — the only type of state where they have been able to prevail by l

 A constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman has attracted bipartisan support from a pro-life Democrat in the House of Representatives . Congressman Nick Rahall , D- WV , has joined as a co-sponsor of Tim Huelskamp 's motion to protect marriage. Rep. Nick Rahall, D-WV Rahall, who has a 92 percent lifetime  voting record from National Right to Life , is the only Democrat to support the legislation to date. Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage said the West Virginia Congressman is the first “hopefully of many” Democratic representatives to support traditional marriage. “Rep. Rahall's support proves once again that marriage is an issue that cuts past partisan politics and special interests, speaking universally to our shared common sense principles, such as every child's right to have both a mom and a dad,” Brown said. Approximately  one-third of Democrats  do not believe in same-sex “marriage,” accor

The Supreme Court rulings on Proposition 8 and DOMA defy thousands of years of history and the findings of sociology, undermine citizen democracy, open the door to polygamy, and rewrite thousands of federal laws on family policy with the stroke of a pen, according to pro-family advocates. “Today the Supreme Court issued the  Roe v. Wade  of marriage,” said Penny Nance , president and CEO of  Concerned Women for America (CWA)  after news of the rulings broke. “These rulings will continue to divide our Republic just as  Roe  continues to do 40 years later.” "The Supreme Court rulings fly in the face of reams of research showing that the best household arrangement for children is a married mom and dad,” said Dr. Janice Shaw Crouse, director and senior fellow of  CWA 's Beverly LaHaye Institute. “It represents a national experiment in social reconstruction at the expense of our children's futures and the future of America." “For thousands of years marriage

LITTLE ROCK, AR , April 12, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews ) – U.S. Senator Mark Pryor , D-AR, is so far bucking the trend of Democratic lawmakers jumping on board the pro-same-sex ‘marriage’ bandwagon.  Mark Pryor “I oppose same-sex marriage, and I’ve been very clear about that for a very long time,” the second-term senator  said  on a conference call with local reporters Wednesday. “That’s the way I will vote. If that’s what it comes down to, that’s where I am.” Currently, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments on whether or not the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which bans gay marriage on the federal level, should be struck down as unconstitutional.  Pryor says he believes DOMA to be legal, but acknowledges that if the Supreme Court decides otherwise, legislators will have to make some tough choices about expanding an already stretched federal budget to include benefits for same-sex couples.  “On the benefits issue, I said to ‘put me down in the undecided category,’” Pryor to
