GAY TRUTH

The crowd-pleasing Marvel Cinematic Universe films have remained relatively free of “social justice” posturing ever since they began with 2008’s “Iron Man,” but that may be about to change. In an interview, Monday to promote this month’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige told The Playlist that future entries in the superhero saga would include multiple characters confirmed onscreen to be gay or bisexual. “When are we getting a Gay, Bi, LGBTQ, out character in the MCU?” the interviewer asked. “Is it even in the works?” Feige answered that it was, teasing that in addition to at least one completely new character, at least one previously-established character would be revealed to be LGBT in some way. This isn’t the first time Feige has made a similar promise; in 2015 he told Collider that audiences could expect to see a homosexual, bisexual, or transgender character sometime within the next decade. However, whether Feige’s words signal a sincere desire to add LG

America is doing a terrific job of pushing homosexuality in schools, and as a result, more of our kids are engaging in this behaviour and adopting the identity. A major Centers for Disease Control (CDC) study provides the gruesome stats. This disastrous news should be major media headlines. A few progressives are happy, I'm sure, along with radical homosexual groups like GLSEN as well as the corrupt teachers' unions, the NEA and others. But for most of us, the CDC Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) paints a grim picture with dire consequences for the long-term well-being of our nation's youth. In 2017, almost 15% (14.6%) of teens labeled themselves as "gay, lesbian, bisexual or unsure." In 2015, that figure was 11.2%. And reckless, risky conduct remains higher among this self-labelled non-heterosexual group. The CDC biennial study included surveys of 9th through 12th graders in 39 states and 21 large urban school districts. The survey asked students to check a

AP Photo/Elaine Thompson, File It’s clear the case was returned to the Washington Supreme Court for a reason. It's also clear the Washington Supreme Court doesn't place a high value on religious rights. In this Nov. 15, 2016, file photo, Barronelle Stutzman, left, a Richland, Wash., florist, smiles as she is surrounded by supporters after a hearing in Bellevue, Wash. The Supreme Court on Monday, June 25, 2018, ordered Washington courts to take a new look at Stutzman's case in light of the Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission decision. How should we view the Supreme Court’s decision to send Barronelle Stutzman’s case back to the Washington Supreme Court? Did they just punt the case further down the field? Or is this another victory for religious rights, much like the victory won by Jack Phillips and Masterpiece Cakeshop last month? The Supreme Court could have agreed to rule in Stutzman’s case, but chose not to at this point. It could also have ref

Florists and bakers are being charged with illegal discrimination. State governments won’t let them decline to service same-sex marriage ceremonies. They were exercising their freedom of conscience. Some were also exercising their freedom of religion. Did it matter to the state? No. Next to be hit with these charges? Lawyers. State Bars Change The Rules State bars are expanding nondiscrimination rules to include sexual orientation and gender identity. The American Bar Association proposed the rule changes . The relevant part of the new rule changes the section titled “Maintaining The Integrity Of The Profession.” It defines “professional misconduct.” The rule forbids engaging in “harassment or discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status or socioeconomic status in conduct related to the practice of law.” (The new language is italicized.) The new language goes well beyond federal

A Toronto-area school district is entertaining a request to fly immoral homosexual flags at its Catholic schools to coincide with June’s pro-homosexual “Pride Month.” This comes despite existing policy allowing only the national and provincial flags to be flown at schools. ARE THESE PEOPLE REALLY CATHOLIC WHO SUPPORT THE SIN OF HOMOSEXUALITY? The Peel District School Board heard arguments concerning a request from the gay lobbying group Pride Employee Resource Group (PERG) during its Tuesday meeting, the Toronto Star reports . Pro-homosexual activists reportedly filled the chamber with people wearing pink shirts to visualize support for the flag. The district’s current policy is that only the Canadian or Ontario flags may be flown at any of its 257 schools. But PERG’s Carol Speers, who is also a retired superintendent, argued that Peel should follow in the footsteps of Toronto, Durham, Halton, and York to signal safety and welcomeness to LGBT staff and students. ARE THESE PEOP

The United States Supreme Court announced Monday it was ordering the Washington Supreme Court to reconsider its judgment that a Christian florist must provide flowers for a same-sex “wedding” ceremony. The case stems from Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s lawsuit against Barronelle Stutzman, the proprietor of Arlene’s Flowers in Richland, Washington, for refusing to provide flowers for a customer’s same-sex "wedding" ceremony. Stutzman had previously served the customer’s every other request for years, and has employed homosexual workers, but her Christian faith compelled her to draw a distinction between serving all individuals and lending her artistic endorsement to celebrations of homosexuality. The Washington Supreme Court ruled last year that the government may force Christians to serve same-sex “weddings,” and in July 2017, the conservative Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the case. On Monday, the high court vaca

Sean McDowell:  Today, we have a guest who you're probably familiar with if you followed a ton of cultural, social issues, in particular, related to the LGBTQ question. You probably recognize the name, Preston Sprinkle. He's written a wonderful book called  People to Be Loved , and what we most appreciate about this book is that Preston brings a real commitment to Scripture and theology, but also to loving people. And you've said over and over again, Preston, this is not an issue, it’s about people. So thanks first for your ministry, but also for coming on the podcast. Preston Sprinkle:  Hey, it's great to be on. Thanks for having me on, you guys. Sean McDowell:  You bet. Well, we've got a lot of questions, and we're going to really focus on the transgender question, but let me just start with your personal story. What has motivated you really do care about LGBT people? Preston Sprinkle:  That's a great place to start. I kind of fell into it as a

Earlier this week, in their July/August issue, The Atlantic made what appears to be a very serious mistake: They published a long-form article by Jesse Singal titled “When Children Say They’re Trans.” The prestigious liberal publication—which dutifully fired columnist Kevin D. Williamson when the social media mobs came for him for off-hand comments on a podcast about abortion—is now on the receiving end of raw hatred and vitriol from trans activists that shows you everything you need to know about the tolerance of the transgender movement—and how they plan to respond to dissent in a society they seek to transform by the acceptance of their gender ideologies. Jesse Singal, it seems, committed a few unpardonable sins in the course of conducting interviews and writing his essay. First of all, he talked to a teenage girl who thought she was trans but later realized that she was not —and was relieved that her parents had delayed getting her the double-mastectomy and hormone treatments s

Canada’s tainted blood scandal of the 1980s could be getting a sequel in France if a new lawsuit before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is successful. In 1997, Justice Horace Krever released a landmark commission report on systemic failures in Canada’s blood donation system that allowed approximately 2,000 Canadians to become infected with HIV from tainted blood in the 1980s. The report attributed the crisis to a variety of factors, one of which being the decision to import plasma acquired from high-risk populations in the United States. Despite this history, 48-year-old Laurent Drelon has filed a discrimination suit challenging France’s requirement that gay men abstain from sex for one year before donating blood, Yahoo News reports . The French Council of State upheld the rule last year. The one-year rule is itself a compromise from the country’s previous rule banning homosexuals from donating blood at all. But Drelon and his lawyer still find it intolerable. PLAYING W

On  Thursday’s EWTN The World Over  Father Gerald Murray took apart the heterodox notion floated by some in the Church that the Lord creates people to be “gay”. He also derided the idea that God would make someone the wrong sex. The New York priest and Canon lawyer made his comments during this week’s Papal Posse segment with the program’s host Raymond Arroyo and editor of  The Catholic Thing, Robert Royal.  Arroyo had asked Murray and Royal to comment on the Vatican having included the term “LGBT” in the working document for the upcoming Youth Synod. News of the controversial move surfaced this week - the first time the Holy See has used the term in an official document. Catholics have been expressing concern that the Vatican is further capitulating to the “gay” lobby, and not surprisingly has been lauded by the “LGBT” movement for its “gay”-affirming actions. “This is a big problem,” Murray stated. “We do not use the political language of the gay rights and associa
