GAY TRUTH

An Australian bridal magazine will close after contributors revealed it was refusing to feature same-sex weddings in a decision which caused controversy and saw advertisers withdraw their sponsorship. A farewell note published on White Magazine's website on Saturday said they'd recently experienced "a flood of judgment" and lost a number of advertisers. "We have had to recognize the reality that White Magazine is no longer economically viable," the publishers said. The 12-year-old magazine, its team, and advertisers had been targeted by a campaign, and couples featured in its pages had been the subject of online abuse, the post said. Contributors in August revealed White Magazine wasn't including same-sex couples but hadn't publicly disclosed it. Wedding photographer Lara Hotz, who is in a same-sex marriage, said at the time that she felt discriminated against and undervalued. She wanted the magazine to be open about its position so people knew befo

Christians are being run out of business, hounded by boycotts and bullied by activists, for adhering to their faith a year after the celebrated same-sex-marriage vote. They are treated as a joke to be eradicated with their beliefs. In a sign Australia faces a “crisis of freedom”,  The Weekend Australian  can reveal a successful international wedding magazine that chose not to feature gay couples will today announce its decision to shut down after becoming the target of an intimidation campaign. The founders of  White  magazine, Christians Luke and Carla Burrell, said they were the targets of an activist campaign that deterred their advertisers, frightened their staff and included threats of physical harm because of their stand on same-sex weddings. The couple, who have published  White  for 12 years, said the campaign was triggered by last year’s plebiscite and saw them branded homophobes and bigots. One individual warned their house would be burned down. With the governm

Scotland will be the first country in the world to force upon children the sinful homosexual ideology. It will include sinful distorted immoral practices on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex issues in school curricula. The Scottish Parliament adopted all 33 recommendations put forth by the LGBTI Inclusive Education Working Group, which are intended to address bullying, discrimination, and prejudice in schools. But it went much further and will now indoctrinate kids on the immorality and sin of homosexuality. er a law that made it illegal for public authorities to “promote homosexuality” was overturned.  This sinful unhealthy practice came about after a 2016 petition from the TIE Campaign was rejected by Parliament, which said at the time that it could not “force” local authorities to include LGBTI issues in classrooms. But now it can be forced upon people? Why? Because homosexual push their own immorality onto people - it has been sadly said that “the gayes

A BAKERY run by a Christian family in Northern Ireland on Wednesday won a landmark case in Britain’s highest court over its refusal to make a cake decorated with the words “Support Gay Marriage”. The Supreme Court upheld the owners’ appeal against a May decision that found them guilty of discriminating against gay rights activist Gareth Lee. The bakery called the ruling a momentous day for religious freedom in Britain while Lee condemned it as a profound blow for civil rights. “I paid my money, my money was taken and then a few days later it was refused. That made me feel like a second-class citizen. I feel like they hate me.” he told reporters after listening to the verdict. “I’m concerned not just for the implications for myself and other gay people, but for every single one of us because we get easily offended over anyone who disagrees. Like, who do poeple think they are? Anybody who objects to our love should be jailed. ” The case pitted Northern Ireland’s strong Protestant and

Toronto police have issued a Canada-wide warrant on charges of inciting hatred for a Christian who handed out flyers at the 2016 Toronto Pride Parade warning of the spiritual and biological dangers of sodomy. Bill Whatcott announced on the Free North America portal he intends to turn himself into the Calgary police on Friday, June 22 at 10:00 a.m. Toronto 51 Division is charging Whatcott with the indictable offence of inciting hatred under Section 391 of Canada’s Criminal Code. “The ‘crime’? My ministry bringing the Gospel and the truth about homosexuality to Toronto’s homosexual pride parade in 2016,” Whatcott wrote on Free North America. Constable Caroline de Kloet, media relations officer for Toronto Police Service, said the charges arose from a two-year investigation into a complaint the police received in 2016, but that police don’t give out “victim information.” The Toronto police were in contact the federal attorney general on the case, as is the procedure with hate crimes.

The reactions to Monday’s Supreme Court decision for Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshops have been coming fast and furious from both sides of the political spectrum. The consensus developing on the Right seems to be a suspicious celebration—the Court, after all, did not protect all religious liberty but specifically ruled that this particular Colorado baker had been the victim of anti-religious discrimination.  Thus, the precedent did not go nearly as far as most of us had hoped, and LGBT activists are surely gearing up to fight another day. Perhaps an elderly florist will make a better target. That being said, I do think that those who are determined to find a black cloud on every silver lining are also underestimating the significance of this ruling. For starters, it must be noted that Christians   needed to win this one . The ruling might not have been everything we hoped for, but a loss would have signalled the end of religious liberty in the United States, and a

There’s been a battle online over whether or not to call Monday’s  Supreme Court decision  on a Christian baker “narrow.” The vote was 7-2, which isn’t narrow. But the scope of the ruling was. It seemed to say that in this particular case, the Colorado human rights commissars showed explicit, anti-religious bias. That tainted their case that a vital public interest was served by punishing this Christian wedding cake baker. (He would sell cakes to everyone, but wouldn’t design a specific, gay-wedding cake.) But bureaucrats with a little more tact would likely get away with closing down Christian businesses. At least under the Court as it stands today. SCOTUSblog explains  the decision as follows: [T]he justices today handed Phillips a victory, even if not necessarily the ruling that he and his supporters had hoped for. Kennedy, the author of some of the court’s most important gay-rights rulings, began by explaining that the case involved a conflict between two important p

Public schools in Illinois may be forced to single out homosexual historical figures for special praise, if legislation that has already passed one legislative chamber ultimately prevails. Earlier this month, the state Senate passed SB 3249 by a 34-18 vote. It requires history courses in public schools to “include a study of the roles and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the history of this country and this State,” and to adopt “non-discriminatory” textbooks that “include the roles and contributions of all people protected, under the Illinois Human Rights Act,” including LGBT figures. The legislation, which would take effect in July 2019 if enacted, would allow local school districts to set the details of these additions and decide when to implement them, but makes no reference to whether parents will be allowed to opt their children out of the lessons. The final form of these lessons remains to be seen, but “LGBT history” efforts elsewhere have ex

In a Federation like Australia , different jurisdictions (States and Territories) may have different rules on what amounts to “discrimination” or “vilification”, and how those things interact with religious freedom. One of the pressing issues here in recent years has been whether there will be a “race to the bottom” in freedom of speech on religious issues, with one jurisdiction in particular, Tasmania, raising deep concerns with a very broad prohibition on causing “offence” related to matters such as sexual orientation. Today the High Court of Australia , on appeal from NSW , has affirmed the decision of the NSW Court of Appeal that State and Territory “tribunals” (non-judicial panels usually used in discrimination issues) have no jurisdiction to impose penalties on residents of other Australian jurisdictions under their own local laws. The important decision in  Burns v Corbett [2018] HCA 15 (18 April 2018) (court-prepared summary available  here ) is a good outcome, and at
