Where does Donald Trump really stand on gay "marriage"?
The Log Cabin Republicans, an organization of homosexual members of the GOP, asks Trump to clarify his views on marriage and homosexual issues generally in a new video entitled, "Donald Trump: 'Trust Me.'"
The one-minute video features a montage of video clips of Trump saying that the Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges ruling is "the law of the land" and telling a lesbian journalist "you can" expect more action on the LGBT political agenda if he is elected president in November.
However, it also features video of Trump telling CBN News journalist David Brody that evangelicals can trust him to uphold the definition of marriage in the White House. He went on to say he would only name pro-life justices to the court, and he believed his conservative justices would overturn Obergefell, as well.
The video also features a montage of numerous headlines, including one from LifeSiteNews, and a reference to a story LifeSiteNews broke about the Donald J. Trump Foundation donating money to an LGBT activist group that promotes homosexuality in kindergarten and "fisting" in middle school.
"Log Cabin Republicans is calling on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump to clarify his stance on marriage equality," said the group's president, Gregory T. Angelo, who said he believes that Mr. Trump "has a long record of inconsistency on this issue."
Trump has opposed redefining marriage since he first commented on the matter more than 16 years ago.
However, in an interview with The Advocate during an earlier presidential run in 2000, Trump told the LGBT website that he would add sexual preference to 1964 Civil Rights Act alongside such immutable characteristics as race and sex. Critics say this would open the floodgates to lawsuits against business owners and others who uphold traditional morality by spurned homosexual employees claiming "discrimination."
"Trump has never been asked whether he stands by his comments from 16 years ago," The Advocate wrote this weekend.
During a press conference following results from the Saturday primaries, Trump declined to answer a question on same-sex "marriage" from David Martosko of theDaily Mail.
"In fact, in the past, it seemed as if Mr. Trump would be the most-pro gay presidential candidate in the 2016 GOP field," Angelo, whose group became the first homosexual organization to co-sponsor CPAC last week, said. "All voters — including especially gay Republicans and allies — deserve to know unequivocally if Mr. Trump would be a friend or a foe to the LGBT community in the White House."

A Catholic school board in Ontario will vote next week on a motion to fly the rainbow-colored homosexual pride flag at all board-run schools during the month of June. Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) Trustee Brenda Agnew gave notice of her motion titled “supporting our diverse school community” during an April 6 board meeting. Quoting Pope Francis along with LGBT talking points about “equity and inclusion,” the motion calls for the Board’s Director of Education Pat Daly to “direct all HCDSB schools including the Catholic Education Centre to fly the Pride flag during the month of June starting with 2021.” The motion is expected to be voted on by the Board at their next meeting on April 20. With nine trustees, the motion requires five votes to pass. A tied vote results in a fail. The HCDSB states on its website that its mission is to provide “excellence in Catholic education by developing Christ-centred individuals enabled to transform society.” The Catholic Church, basing i...

DENVER, CO ,  – A Colorado board has ruled that a Christian business owner must make wedding cakes for homosexual "marriages" despite his religious objections. Business owner Jack Phillips came under legal fire in 2012, when he refused to bake a cake for Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig , who had traveled to Massachusetts for a marriage license, and wanted to celebrate in their home state. They sued on the basis of a state law that prevents the application of religious beliefs if one owns a business. The Commission's ruling, which was issued verbally on Friday, orders Phillips to report every three months for the next two years on anti-discrimination training for his staff, and any customers who are refused service at his establishment. "I can believe anything I want, but if I'm going to do business here, I'd ought to not discriminate against people," said one of the Civil Rights Commission 's seven members in a public statement.

Australia: Gay Hate tribunals are coming

Are Hate Tribunals Are Coming In Canada , it is considered discriminatory to say that marriage is between a man and a woman or that every child should know and be raised by his or her biological married parents.  It is not just politically incorrect in Canada to say so; you can be saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, fined, and forced to take sensitivity training. Anyone who is offended by something you have said or written can make a complaint to the Human Rights Commissions and Tribunals. In Canada, these organizations police speech, penalizing citizens for any expression deemed in opposition to particular sexual behaviors or protected groups identified under “sexual orientation.” It takes only one complaint against a person to be brought before the tribunal, costing the defendant tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The commissions have the power to enter private residences and remove all items pertinent to their investigations, checkin...
