GAY TRUTH

Americans have watched as the improbable claims of actor Jussie Smollett have unraveled. The mainstream media immediately latched onto Smollett's story that he was the victim of a racist, homophobic attack. Smollett's claims were not checked or investigated by the media. Instead, they were instantly broadcast as true throughout the world because they fit nicely into one of the media's favorite narratives: that LGBT individuals face widespread intimidation, harassment, and even violence and on a daily basis. Smollett the victim, who is a homosexual, was feted at a sold-out concert in Hollywood and was a guest on countless network news, entertainment and late night television shows where he was given free rein to tell his story of the supposed racist, anti-gay attack. Since the beginning, however, there has been no corroborating evidence to document Smollett's claims. Indeed, the available evidence showed that no attack took place. Smollett refused to turn over importa

Seal of Gaston County, North Carolina (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) In the wake of a federal court decision legalizing same-sex “marriage” in North Carolina , at least six judges in the state have resigned rather than be forced to officiate such unions. All stepped down, since October 10, because they believe marriage is a union between one man and one woman. They are: John Kallam Jr. ( Rockingham County ), Gilbert Breedlove ( Swain County ), Bill Stevenson ( Gaston County ), Tommy Holland (Graham County), Gayle Myrick (Union County) and Jeff Powell (Jackson County). The decision wasn’t easy for Stevenson, whose family depends on his $50,000 per year salary as their primary income. "I prayed about it; I asked for wisdom," Stevenson told the Christian Examiner. "I think our hearts have been led away by the cares of the world, our desires, and ultimately, our intense arrogance – our hubris – against the Lord.” "We've rejected the prime authority of

Ministers in the state of Idaho are facing fines and potential jail time for refusing to perform same-sex “marriages,” even though homosexuality violates their religion. In 2013, the Idaho city of Coeur D'Alene passed a law that forces all businesses to consider homosexuals the same as racial minorities when it comes to housing, employment, and "public accommodation," regardless of religious beliefs. Religious institutions are exempt from the ordinance – but according to the city, the ministers who run The Hitching Post, a wedding chapel, do not qualify for an exemption because their business operates for profit. The battle came to a head earlier this year, after Idaho's marriage law was overturned by a federal court. At the time, a deputy attorney for the city said that The Hitching Post would have to follow the ordinance because it charges what the  Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF)   calls  "a small fee" to conduct the ceremony and provide marriage

Georgetown University ’s LGBTQ Resource Center and GU Pride are currently holding “OUTober,” an ongoing event celebrating “LGBTQ History Month,” according to  The Hoya . This year’s OUTober featured a “coming out day” and a lecture from a transgender activist. According to the  campaign description , this year’s theme for OUTober is “OUT FOR.” The description states that the theme “echoes Georgetown’s Jesuit values, highlighting the commitment and responsibility of Georgetown students as ‘men and women for others.’”  However, the event description makes no mention of Catholic teaching on human sexuality . The  Catechism of the Catholic Church  states that men and women with homosexual tendencies must be treated with “respect, compassion, and sensitivity,” but that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered” and that “[h]omosexual persons are called to chastity.” Also, a  Vatican statement  entitled “Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions Bet
