GAY TRUTH

Image via Wikipedia “Hi, my name is [blank], and I’m a homophobic bigot. “Either that or at least, my Christian beliefs have blinded me to the rights of gay people, and so it’s safe to assume I’ve been utterly lost to humane dialogue on the subject. (Don’t even try. It’ll get ugly.)” This disclaimer may as well be stamped across the foreheads of everyone who disagrees with gay rights. Many have suffered the loss of friends, even jobs, because of this very prejudice about them. Usually they were never asked how they really felt about gay people. Because gay activists always champion love and acceptance, the assumption has sprouted that everyone else is either opposed to the love, happiness, and equal fulfillment of gay people, or at least doesn’t know jack about it. And in fact, many on the pro-family side will end up talking about anything but that; they talk marriage, law, procreation, society, and a million other things that – in one sense – miss the point.

Image via Wikipedia Marriage commissioners in Saskatchewan will be fired for refusing to “marry” same-sex couples, the province’s government announced Tuesday. Justice Minister Don Morgan said he’s sending commissioners a letter promulgating last week’s Saskatchewan Court of Appeal ruling, which found that commissioners’ Charter rights to freedom of religion and conscience are outweighed by homosexuals ’ right to freedom from discrimination. Allowing commissioners to refuse performing same-sex “marriages” would send “a strong and sinister message” that “gays and lesbians are less worthy of protection as individuals in Canada’s society,” the court had said. The ruling from the province’s top court came in response to a reference from the government, prompted by the case of marriage commissioner Orville Nichols, who was fined $2,500 in June 2008 by the Saskatchewan Human Rights Tribunal for refusing to marry a same-sex couple.   The Tribunal decision was upheld by the province’s

Image via Wikipedia BBC Radio 4 has marked the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible by claiming that King David, the Jewish king of the Old Testament who slew the giant Philistine Goliath, was in the Bible’s “only gay relationship.” On a literary program, one of a series on the historic Bible translation , aired on Sunday, January 9th, playwright Howard Brenton claimed that David had been in love with Jonathan, the son of King Saul . Brenton said, “To a secular reader the story of David and Jonathan’s love is obviously homosexual, the only gay relationship in the Bible.” Brenton acknowledged that the idea is “controversial.”  The King James Bible, approved by King James I of England in 1611, is renowned even among non-Christians for the beauty of its 17th century English translation; it was the first Bible to be published in the English language . The King James was prepared by a team of 47 of the best Bible scholars of the day and remains one of the mos

Image via Wikipedia France ’s Constitutional Council, its highest court for constitutional issues, has agreed to examine homosexual “marriage,” and is expected to render a verdict within a week. The case has been passed to the Council by the French Court of Cassation , the nation’s highest appeals court for non-constitutional legal issues, which  received the case  in November.  Two lesbians, who have conceived children by artificial insemination, want to call their relationship a “marriage,” and are asking for the legal right to do so. The couple’s attorney recently told the Le Figaro newspaper that, given the resistance in France to equating homosexual relations with marriage, he is using a more “subtle” approach. “It’s not a matter of asking the Constitutional Council if it will make a pronouncement for or against homosexual marriage. It’s necessary to be more subtle,” said lawyer Emmanuel Ludot. The first question Ludot is asking the judiciary to decide is whether “the judge,

In yet another instance of the growing conflict between believing Christian professionals and the homosexualist movement in Britain, a Christian psychotherapist who helps individuals overcome homosexual inclinations may be “struck off,” or barred from practicing her profession. Lesley Pilkington was the object of a sting operation by undercover journalist Patrick Strudwick , who approached her to ask her for help with his sexuality. He had told Pilkington that he wanted to leave the homosexual lifestyle and she informed him that she only worked within a Christian counseling framework. Strudwick, who went to two counseling sessions with Pilkington and published the transcript of the meetings in The Independent newspaper , was awarded journalist of the year by the homosexualist organization Stonewall for the sting. After the sessions, he lodged a complaint to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy alleging that Pilkington had failed to respect the “fixed nature”

It is illegal in Britain for guesthouse keepers to refuse to allow two homosexual men to share a bed in their homes, according to a ruling by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) in a test case sponsored by the country’s leading homosexualist lobby group. Peter and Hazelmary Bull, devout Christians who own a guesthouse in a popular holiday resort in Cornwall, were ordered by the EHRC to pay a fine of £1,800 each to Martyn Hall and Steven Preddy, two men who had booked a room in September 2008. The Bulls explained to the Commission that they have a long-standing policy of refusing double rooms to any unmarried couple, no matter what their “orientation,” at the Chymorvah Private Hotel in Marazion near Penzance. Mrs. Bull commented after the hearing, saying she and her husband were “disappointed” with the result. “Our double-bed policy was based on our sincere beliefs about marriage, not hostility to anybody. It was applied equally and consistently to unmarried heterosex

Image via Wikipedia A Montreal man has been ordered to pay $12,000 to his homosexual neighbors for allegedly directing “ homophobic ” remarks at them, by the Quebec Human Rights Tribunal. The homosexual couple has a history of pursuing lawsuits and complaints against neighbors. Theo Wouters and Roger Thibault had accused Gordon Lusk of calling them “faggots” during a June 2006 incident involving Mr. Lusk’s son. Lusk, a retired lieutenant colonel in the Canadian military , was acquitted of charges of “homophobic comments,” death threats and threatening assault in a provincial court over the incident involving the two homosexuals who were alleged to have driven recklessly down their street, endangering the lives of children, including Mr. Lusk’s son, who were playing road hockey. A witness of the incident testified at the court of law hearing that Thibault had run a stop sign and almost hit one of the children. The same witness testified that in an earlier incident Thibault had ru
