GAY TRUTH

A Christian student is suing Missouri State University for ejecting him from its Masters in Counselling program in a case with huge implications for the counselling and psychotherapy professions. Andrew Cash was a student nearing completion of MSU ’s Masters of Counselling program in 2011 when he served his internship at the Springfield Marriage and Family Institute (SMFI), a Christian counselling center where he worked with couples while under supervision of the accredited staff. Cash got into trouble when he persuaded one of his teachers to let the institute give a class presentation on Christian counselling. One of Cash’s classmates asked the director what he would do if asked to counsel a same-sex couple. He responded that he would counsel them as individuals but not as a couple because of his religious convictions about marriage being necessarily heterosexual. Shortly SMFI was removed from MSU’s list of approved supervising agencies, Cash’s 51 hours of supervised cou

A symbolic marriage cake in favor of allowing gay marriages in Italy not only to heterosexual couples but to lesbian and gay ones as well. Picture by Giovanni Dall'Orto, January 26 2008. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you can trace your family tree back far enough, you'll probably encounter people who had no formal education , owned no books, perhaps couldn't read and write . But your uneducated ancestors knew what "marriage" meant-- which is more than you can say for the typical Ivy League professor today. Your "benighted" ancestors would be both absolutely astonished that the literati of the early 21st century cannot figure out what was so obvious to them, centuries ago, and utterly appalled by the bogus unions that our contemporaries accept as marriages.  (By the way, I am not just thinking only of same-sex unions . I also have in mind the "open" marriages and the deliberately barren unions, the Hollywood -style serial marriages, th

Official photographic portrait of US President Barack Obama (born 4 August 1961; assumed office 20 January 2009) (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) President Obama denounced laws in North Carolina and Mississippi during a trip to Great Britain, adding that “some” of the people who support those laws are good people. Of course Obama's definition of good is to be questioned.  The UK Foreign Office has issued a travel advisory to LGBT British citizens visiting North Carolina and Mississippi after those states passed new laws - one restricting  restrooms and shower   facilities to   members of the same biological sex   and another respecting religious freedom . During a press conference last Friday with Prime Minister David Cameron, Obama said the two are “beautiful states” full of “wonderful people,” where visitors from Great Britain would be treated with "extraordinary hospitality." However, “the laws that have been passed there are wrong and should be overturned.” Th

The parents of a kindergartener are suing his former charter school for refusing to teach about transgenderism , which they say violated their son’s rights.  David and Hannah Edwards partnered with an organization called Gender Justice to file a complaint with the city’s Department of Human Rights .  The complaint   alleges that Nova Classical Academy denied their son’s “right to undergo a gender transition in a safe and timely way” and “failed to protect students from gender-based bullying and hostility” by not “conduct[ing] gender education,” allowing families to opt-out of classroom instruction on transgenderism, refusing to inform their son’s classmates of his “preferred” gender pronouns, and not allowing a pro-transgender book to be part of the kindergarteners’ classroom instruction. The Edwards parents allege that when their five-year-old son “expressed a consistent, persistent, and insistent desire to socially transition from male to female,” they met with Nova Class

Over 750,000 people have pledged to boycott Target over the company’s new policy allowing men to use women’s bathrooms . The American Family Association, which launched the   petition , says the fact that it’s generated such a large response in only five days shows how outraged Americans are. “American families are concerned about their wives and daughters being harmed by predators or voyeurs who will now have more freedom to enter women’s bathrooms,” AFA president Tim Wildmon . “There are many more sex offenders in America than transgender people, so we believe that Target should keep separate facilities for men and women, but for the transgender community and for those who simply like using the bathroom alone, a single occupancy unisex option should be provided, as AFA has proposed.” Target announced its new policy last week, writing in a statement that it would allow people to use bathrooms based on their self-determined “ gender identity ” and not biological reality.

English: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) pride flag under a "No" symbol. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Big corporations have come out to criticize state religious liberty measures in Georgia , Mississippi , and North Carolina as discriminating against those who aren’t heterosexual, some going as far as to propose boycotting states that enact such laws. However, several of the most vocal companies that say they stand with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans also operate in countries with troubling human rights records, including places where homosexuality can result in a death sentence, a review by The Daily Signal shows. Details on the fate of the measures in Georgia, Mississippi, and North Carolina are below. The following is a list of 16 corporations that publicly attacked religious liberty measures in one or more of the three states, yet do business in countries that blatantly and sometimes brutally discriminate against LGBT citizen
