GAY TRUTH

Religious groups and employment of staff Can a Christian secondary school require that its teachers not openly advocate a sexual lifestyle that is contrary to the Bible’s teaching? Can an Orthodox Jewish preschool ask its teachers to live in accordance with Orthodox moral principles? Can a Protestant church refuse to hire someone to act on its behalf in political advocacy when that person does not share their religious beliefs? These are all issues that have come up in recent months. Two of them are dealt with in decisions in connection with judicial proceedings, one in the UK and one from the European Court of Justice . One has been raised by media reports in Australia . In this post I want to flag these three cases briefly and to comment on the issues they raise for religious freedom, and how they should be resolved.  Religious freedom and groups It is worth, however, setting out a few general principles to start with. When the language of “ human rights ” ...

“Children especially are harmed when they are told that they can ‘change’ their sex or, further, given hormones that will affect their development and possibly render them infertile as adults.” So says a letter released Friday and initiated by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops , and joined by faith leaders from the Lutherans, Anglicans, Orthodox, Presbyterians, and Southern Baptists . One Islamic representative also signed the document. “Gender ideology harms individuals and societies by sowing confusion and self-doubt,” the statement says. The bishops and other religious leaders denounce transgender ideology, calling it a “false idea” that a man could become a woman or a woman a man.  “The movement today to enforce the false idea—that a man can be or become a woman or vice versa—is deeply troubling. It compels people to either go against reason—that is, to agree with something that is not true—or face ridicule, marginalization, and other forms of retaliation,” they...

A state judge handed a Christian bakery owner a temporary reprieve last week from an effort to compel her to make cakes for same-sex weddings in violation of her religious beliefs . Kern County Superior Court Judge David Lampe denied the state of California a temporary restraining order last Thursday against Cathy Miller, a cake artist and owner of Tastries Bakery, to forbid her “from selling to anyone any item they are unwilling to sell.” California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) had filed a surprise motion for the TRO the day before, according to the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF). The legal group representing Miller said this was done specifically to compel Miller to create wedding cakes for same-sex individuals despite the fact that doing so would violate her sincerely held religious beliefs. “ The government sprung this needless motion on Cathy without notice, forcing her to scramble with less than 12 hours to prepare,” said Charles...

Lesbianism: Promoted as wonderful, warm and caring but now revealed as self centered, sinful, damaging to kids and fake.   Attorneys for a divorced lesbian couple fighting over child support in a closely watched case agreed Thursday that consent to having a baby together is a crucial issue but disagreed over whether both spouses gave it. A woman wants to sever her parental rights to a child her ex-wife gave birth to while she was deployed with the military and is asking the Hawaii Supreme Court to overturn a family court ruling denying that request. The justices heard arguments Thursday and seemed troubled by considering consent. Associate Justice Sabrina McKenna said that could lead to treating same-sex couples differently from opposite-sex couples. National gay rights advocates are watching how the dispute plays out, likely the first such case before a state Supreme Court , experts say. The woman seeking to end her parental rights didn't agree to her then-wife gettin...

A woman in Hawaii is trying to get her parental rights revoked by challenging the equal status of same-sex marriages . Two women, identified in family court only as C.C. and D.D., got married in 2013 and, according to D.D., talked for years about having children. D.D. became pregnant in 2015 through a sperm donor when C.C. was deployed with the military . Their relationship has since ended. C.C. tried to have her parental rights revoked, arguing that she did not consent to become a parent and therefore should not have to pay child support .  Lesbianism borrows sperm to make synthetic disposable children. Does this not reflect that such broken relationships are simply fake marriages and the cracks appear very fast. Hawaii, like many other states, presumes the spouse of a mother to be the parent of a child born during their marriage, no matter the genetic relationship between the spouse and the child. LGBTQ activists have had to argue in favor of this in Arkansas and in M...

Read the article below to try to understand how some writers or transgender writers portray themselves as victims instead of seeing their condition as a mental health condition, which it is. The author wants to promote transgender as normal and healthy like homosexuality but is blaming the media for a scare campaign. When you are convinced you are right -especially when you are wrong and are in an unhealthy mental state it is no wonder people object. Notice the use of words like "moral panic' "fear" "history repeating itself." This is blame everybody else for our immoral mental health lifestyle choices. The author is claiming everybody else is wrong and he is right. Madness! Article: As gay and bisexual men and women were making limited strides in the struggle for equality not so long ago, a furious backlash followed. Today’s media-driven moral panic over trans people and their rights seems like history repeating itself. Over the past few weeks, ...
