GAY TRUTH

LGBTQ Privilege? YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said the company consults with the LBGTQ community to make sure they don't feel they are being censored. Wouldn't it be nice if conservatives had such a seemingly favored group? Wojcicki spoke to Eugene Lee Yang of "The Try Guys" on Dec. 16 regarding YouTube's harassment policy update and apparent efforts to appease the LGBTQ creator community's concerns. "Every single time we make a change," she emphasized, one of the factors measured is "the impact on a set of LGBTQ creator videos." She also described how YouTube proclaimed it will deplatform creators, even those who have technically followed the rules if they are perceived as repeatedly pushing the envelope of critiquing groups with a "protected status." "YouTube has been accused of suppressing queer voices," Yang commented before asking, "What is being actively done to protect content that has committed no other...

HOW GAY IS THE UK?   After last week’s general election, the United Kingdom now has the “gayest parliament in the world,” according to U.K. media. A high number of the U.K.’s new and returning members of parliament (MPs) – including members of the governing Conservative party – identify as homosexual or bisexual. An article in The Sunday Times last weekend stressed both the “socially liberal” perspective of many of the U.K.’s new political representatives and the high representation of MPs who identify with homosexuality or bisexuality: Looking at this youthful group gives a fascinating insight into the future of the Tory [Conservative] party. There is not an Old Etonian in sight, and 24 are openly gay or bisexual, the most of any party. Labour has at least 18 — boosting the total to more than 50 LGBT MPs. Westminster is now the “gayest parliament in the world”. This means that MPs identifying as homosexual or bisexual makeup almost eight percent of the U.K.’s parlia...

The U.S. Navy has begun construction on a ship that will be christened the “USNS Harvey Milk” after the murdered San Francisco Supervisor who made history in the 1970s as California’s first openly homosexual elected official.    The man the U.S. Navy has chosen to honor was also a homosexual pederast. Shameful behavior by the majority honored by a few. Despite Milk’s reputation for sexual predation, he has been lionized by the media, by Hollywood, and multiple times by former Democrat President Barack Obama.  Harvey Milk and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone were assassinated by Dan White, a former police officer, and former city supervisor, on Nov. 27, 1978. Although his  homosexuality had nothing to with his murder , the implication that it did has led to Milk becoming a gay martyr, icon, and even a  saint .  Omitted from most accounts of Milk’s life are his  alleged sexual relationships  with underage boys.   Harvey Milk...

A bill that will criminalize “conversion therapy” in Canada is a “despicable” attack on religious liberty that could lead to Christians going to jail for proclaiming that homosexual individuals can change, warns Canada’s pro-life, pro-family organization Campaign Life Coalition. Introduced last week by Independent Senator Serge Joyal, Bill S-202 will make it an indictable offense punishable by up to five years in jail to benefit materially or financially indirectly or directly from the provision of “conversion therapy” to anyone under 18 years of age. The bill further amends the Criminal Code to make advertising “conversion therapy” a crime punishable by up to five years in jail. Not only that, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government plans to introduce a similar bill in the House of Commons when Parliament reconvenes in January. In his mandate letters to ministers setting out the Liberals’ legislative objectives, Trudeau instructed justice minister David Lametti to “am...

As the number of British children with gender dysphoria skyrockets, some doctors are backing away from the booming “transition” craze to express regret over the part they’ve played. Last week, Britain’s Sky News revealed this and other facts about the growing phenomenon of children struggling with gender dysphoria in its short documentary titled Transgender Children: Crisis in Care.  Focusing on Britain’s Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust in London, Sky News revealed that 35 psychologists have left the children’s service in the past three years. Reporters contacted 20 of them, but only six agreed to speak about their work at GIDS, and only one would appear, voice altered, on television. According to Sky News, all six of the psychologists were concerned about children being given hormones and, when looking back on their work at the Tavistock Centre, felt that they had not been able to adequately explore the psycholog...

HALLMARK HAS FOLDED TO THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA Hallmark decides to don its gay apparel during the Holy Season that prohibits and condemns the act of homosexuality. So why do it? The Hallmark Channel has built its cable television brand on presenting wholesome family-friendly entertainment, especially during the holidays. Beginning before Thanksgiving, they run uplifting Christmas movies virtually nonstop. The movies feature timeless values and universal themes such as love, forgiveness, togetherness, and family. They offer viewers – most of whom are women with many being Christian moms – the chance to escape the divisiveness that consumes so much of the culture these days, and is a politics-free escape for millions of people. Until the past several weeks, that is In recent weeks, loyal viewers of the channel were shocked to be confronted with a series of ads from a wedding planning website promoting gay ‘marriage.’ One ad features a lesbian ‘wedding’ with a close-up of the two ‘br...

A judge has dismissed charges against a Christian pastor in Washington who was arrested after trying to enter a public library in which a Drag Queen Story Hour event was taking place, though local prosecutors plan to try again against Afshin Yaghtin. Yaghtin, who preaches at Spokane’s New Covenant Church, attempted to enter South Hill Public Library on June 15 to pray for the children attending a Drag Queen Story Hour event that day. 500 Mom Strong founder Anna Bohach witnessed police intercept and arrest him. The Washington Times reported that Yaghtin was specifically arrested for refusing to move to a designated protest zone, which he objected was farther away from the library than where pro-LGBT protesters were allowed to gather. “He did not carry signs or preach, and he did not consider himself a protestor,” said the Pacific Justice Institute, which defended the pastor. “The police nevertheless ordered Yaghtin to leave the premises — otherwise open to the public — and go across ...

The Hallmark Channel has reversed its decision to stop airing four commercials featuring same-sex “weddings” and will now allow the controversial adverts to be aired. Hallmark initially decided to stop airing four commercials for the wedding planning website Zola.com after a backlash from viewers. The ad that sparked the backlash ended with two women, one in a white suit and the other in a white dress, kissing. The other ads that were pulled also featured same-sex kisses. But on Sunday, Hallmark announced that pulling the ads was the “wrong decision” after the channel came in for criticism from several celebrities. Celebrities William Shatner and Ellen DeGeneres took to Twitter in order to criticize the “family-friendly” channel. William Shatner  Shame on @hallmarkchannel! 😤Put the commercials back! @1milmoms has 4K followers. I have 2.5 million and my friends have more. Who are you going to listen to? They are NOT a majority here. Both me and my followers watch y...

Is “gender” a social construct? Should male or female be a matter of personal choice? Are there more than two “genders”? Ten years ago, these questions were unheard of apart from English and Women’s Studies departments at secular universities. But as peculiar and even sacrilegious as it may sound, many people today would say yes to all three. Maybe your kindergartener has a playmate being raised “gender neutral.” Or your coffee shop is starting to use name tags with “preferred pronouns.” Or a bit closer to home, you might have a family member who is “transitioning.” Although the modern West has lost its boundaries and celebrates a plethora of so-called gender options, how should Christians understand and critique today’s concepts of gender in light of Scripture? We begin with understanding, and not conflating, four categories: sex, gender, norms, and callings. Sex: Male and Female The term sex has a couple of definitions. It can refer to the act of sexual intercourse or the cate...

It was a culture-war white flag. Chick-fil-A, the Christian-led fried chicken fast-food chain that had become a cause célebré among conservatives for its “family values” — including donations to anti-LGBTQ groups like the Salvation Army — announced this week that it would no longer be making donations to the Salvation Army or the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, another faith-based group often under fire for its anti-LGBT stance. Conservatives were quick to throw Chick-fil-A under the bus. "The left will never be satisfied," Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro told Fox News. "Once you give an inch to the left with regard to your fundamental principles, the left will never stop… They're going to lose a lot of supporters on the right who feel like they surrendered to nasty, censorious cancel culture." Meanwhile, Orthodox Christian writer (and American Conservative blogger) Rod Dreher angrily tweeted, “Just gave ten bucks to Salvation Army bell ringer beca...

Evangelical colleges, universities, and seminaries have erupted in recent days with LGBTQ-related drama. At George Fox University in Oregon, student Reid Arthur made national news when he decided to come out as gay during the school's annual lip-sync tourney, electrifying his classmates, who offered their energetic support and applause. At Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, student Joanna Maxon is suing the school for using tax records to reveal her marriage to a person of the same sex and expel her based on Fuller’s student conduct code. At Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in North Carolina, a new hire, the well-regarded professor Karen Swallow Prior, was targeted by ultraconservative Southern Baptists for comments she made in 2018 seemingly in favor of a conference called Revoice, which supports same-sex attracted Christians who are "observing the historic Christian doctrine of marriage and sexuality." In my speaking rounds at Chris...

Over and over again, the secular age of the 21st century presents Christians with a deadly logic: keep up or die. This requires the refashioning and remaking of Christian doctrine, theology, and convictions all in the name of cultural relevance—either get on the right side of history or you will be history. These kinds of arguments especially arise over issues of gender and sexuality. Just last week, this threat emerged in the form of an article at Religion News Service by David P. Gushee. The headline of the article read, “Christian Higher Ed Can’t Win the LGBTQ Debate Unless it Transforms.” Headlines can often tell us quite a bit about the author and his or her argument, and this headline is no different. Apparently, the headline indicates that there is a LGBTQ debate taking place within Christian institutions of higher learning and those institutions are losing the battle. The only hope for victory, according to Gushee, is to undergo theological transformation—or, to put it...
