LONGVIEW, Texas  – LGBT activists are threatening the family of a couple whose Christian beliefs did not allow them to bake a cake for a same-sex "wedding" ceremony, according to an attorney for the couple. Edie and David Delorme took over Kern's Bake Shop last year, but trouble reportedly arose after they declined to bake a cake for Ben Valencia and Luis Marmolejo on February 17. Michael Berry of First Liberty, who was retained by the Delormes even though a lawsuit has not been filed, told TheBlaze that trouble includes false Yelp reviews ,  malicious Facebook comments, and threats against the physical safety of the Delormes and at least one of their children. "Our [17-year old] son got a call … where they threatened to burn our house down and violate him with a broken beer bottle," Edie told The Blaze. "That was probably the worst."

PARIS , February 5, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - The French government withdrew a controversial draft law on the family on Monday, putting it on hold until 2015, one day after giant pro-family demonstrations drew several hundred thousand marchers in Paris and 40,000 more in Lyon, including Cardinal François Barbarin.
