Springsteen wants to pee in the women's toilets? Ugly!

Springsteen, Bryan Adams back LGBT campaign, cancel concerts in North Carolina , Mississippi usicians Bruce Springsteen and Bryan Adams cancelled planned shows in North Carolina and Mississippi this week over the states’ bathroom privacy and religious freedom laws. Springsteen cancelled his April 10 appearance in Greensboro, NC in protest of the state’s new law requiring people to use the bathroom that corresponds with their biological sex.  In a  statement  on his website, the singer announced: North Carolina has just passed HB2, which the media are referring to as the “bathroom” law…To my mind, it’s an attempt by people who cannot stand the progress our country has made in recognizing the human rights of all of our citizens to overturn that progress. Right now, there are many groups, businesses, and individuals in North Carolina working to oppose and overcome these negative developments. Taking all of this into account, I feel that this is a time for me and the band to

France backs off Cold War with Vatican over reputed ‘gay’ ambassador

Image
Pope Benedictus XVI (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) After more than a year’s silence on the part of the Holy See , France has finally acknowledged this silence as its normal diplomatic way of rejecting a country’s appointed ambassador. Laurent Stefanini has just been named as France’s ambassador to UNESCO , the Paris-based agency of the United Nations for education, science and culture, ending a long stretch as chief of protocol of the president of the Republic . The coveted position of ambassador of France to the Holy See will most probably remain vacant until the end of François Hollande’s presidential mandate next year. So ends a lengthy and confusing saga in which Pope Francis is said to have intervened personally in order to prevent the acceptance of Laurent Stefanini’s credentials because of the diplomat’s “homosexuality.” Laurent Stefanini had the backing of the archbishop of Paris, Cardinal Vingt-Trois – who confirmed him in 1998 shortly after he converted to the Cathol

Federal court overturns ruling upholding natural marriage in Puerto Rico, orders judge off case

Image
A federal appeals court overturned a district judge's ruling on Thursday, and declared that same-sex "marriage" in Puerto Rico is constitutional. In 1999, Governor Pedro Rosselló signed into law a bill defining marriage as "a civil contract whereby a man and a woman mutually agree to become husband and wife."  Attempts failed, however, in 2008 and 2009 to put the definition of marriage in Puerto Rico's Constitution as a union between a man and a woman, and to outright ban same-sex "marriages." A groundswell of  popular support for natural marriage  culminated in between 120,000 and 200,000 people demonstrating at the San Juan's Capitol Building in February 2013. In March 2014, a lesbian couple from Massachusetts filed a legal complaint, seeking recognition of their "marriage," which was solemnized in the states. U.S. District Court Judge Juan Pérez-Giménez ruled against the lesbians and upheld Puerto Rico law in Octo

Piers Morgan cleared after flood of complaints for labeling Christian views ‘homophobic’

Image
British TV host Piers Morgan has been investigated and cleared of improper behaviour during an aggressive on-air interview in which he accused fired magistrate Richard Page of “ homophobia ” several times because of his Christian view of marriage . Informed of the decision by LifeSiteNews while holidaying in Germany, Page said, “It doesn’t bother me, after all the aggravation I’ve had over this. But he [Morgan] really wasn’t interested in hearing my side. I think he just kept saying, ‘You’re homophobic’ over and over because he couldn’t think of what other questions to ask.” Morgan, the co-host of ITV’s Good Morning Great Britain, was interviewing Page after the magistrate of 15 years was suspended a year ago and then, last month, fired outright by the government for comments to other judges and then to the BBC about a child custody case. He told the BBC: “Because a baby comes from a man and a woman it made me think that the child would be better off with a father and a m

The website of USAID proudly includes a section entitled  USAID LGBT Vision for Action  under it's "What We Do" page. In a  memorandum  which lays out th

Same-Sex civil unions in Italy: Historical betrayal by Catholic politicians

Image
The approval of homosexual pseudo-marriage in the Senate on February 25th 2016, with 173 in favor, 71 against and 76 abstentions is the last stage in the process of dissolution of Italian society which began with the introduction of divorce (1970), then the legalization of abortion (1978) and has as its next, imminent step, the legalization of euthanasia. With that in mind, we understand the exaltation of the secular press: “In the long and tortuous history of sexual liberation in Italy – writes Francesco Merlo in “ La Repubblica ”, February 26th – this law has the same epochal importance as the law on divorce and the law that regulates abortion”. What these three events have in common is an act of betrayal committed by men in Catholic government. Divorce passed under a centre-left government presided over by the Christian Democrat , Emilio Colombo . Abortion was passed by a Christian Democrat government, presided over by Giulio Andreotti . The Christian Democrats were brought

Social conservative leaders wonder: Can homosexual activism and religious liberty ‘coexist’?

Image
Minutes after addressing a packed room at the 2016 CPAC, two leading social conservatives told LifeSiteNews that sexual agendas are putting religious liberty at risk. The Family Research Council 's Travis Weber told LifeSiteNews that "for a lot of us, religious liberty's only been a hot-button issue recently, we're seeing in the news. Why is that? It's driven by agendas affecting matters of sexuality – marriage, abortion, contraception, and all sorts of other issues." "So what do we do about this? Some of these claims are going to be dealt with in the courts. Others, though, we need to deal with [inaudible] protections. Where's the threat right now? It's on anyone doing business with the government, having indexes with the government, those getting tax-exempt status, contracting, getting grants, etc." "And those folks need to be protected with a version of the federal First Amendment Defense Act, or state government non-disc

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) WOONSOCKET, Rhode Island , March 7, 2016 ( LifeSiteNews ) – A Rhode Island Catholic school has instituted a policy against enrolling transgender students . However, in the face of backlash the school says it is open to rethinking the policy. “Mount Saint Charles Academy is unable to make accommodations for transgender students,” the school’s handbook states. “Therefore, MSC does not accept transgender students nor is MSC able to continue to enroll students who identify as transgender.” The policy against admitting students identifying as transgender has been in effect at the Woonsocket, Rhode Island , prep school as of October of last year, according to The Daily Beast . It was recently noticed by some alumni, th
