The indiscriminate weaponization of the term ‘anti-gay’

Image
Folks around the world rightly recoiled in horror when it was revealed that the Muslim nation of Brunei would enact a Sharia-based law condemning gays to be stoned to death.     Major news outlets reporting on the story used the term “anti-gay” to describe the neanderthal measure. Here are some of the headlines from the last few days: CNN:  Brunei's new anti-gay law goes into effect this week. Here's how the world is reacting BBC:  Brunei implements stoning to death under anti-LGBT laws AP:  Germany protests to Brunei envoy over anti-gay law plans The Guardian:  UN joins Clooney in decrying 'inhuman' Brunei anti-gay law USA Today:  Ellen DeGeneres, other celebs boycott Brunei-owned hotels as a law against gay sex goes into effect Los Angeles Times:  L.A. city leaders call for a boycott of 2 hotels over Brunei’s anti-gay laws “Anti-gay,” however, is the same term that mainstream media, progressives politicians, an...

Image
According to an article in  El Pais ,  Spain ’s largest newspaper, Pope Francis told a male sex abuse victim: “ God made you gay.” The comments were allegedly made during a meeting between Pope Francis and the victims of Chilean Catholic sex-offender priest Fernando Karadima . One of the men abused by the priest, former seminarian  Juan Carlos Cruz , described his meeting with Pope Francis. Jesuit priest James Martin posted a link to the interview on his social media accounts which included a translation of one comment made by the Pope to Cruz: James Martin, SJ ✔ @JamesMartinSJ 20 May Pope Francis: "God made you gay." https:// infovaticana.com/2018/05/19/cru z-asegura-papa-le-dijo-dios-te-gay/  … James Martin, SJ ✔ @JamesMartinSJ "Juan Carlos, that you are gay does not matter.

The confusion and casualties of the Gay Civil War in the Catholic Church

Image
In the 1990s, I attended a gay wedding ceremony at a Catholic Church in San Francisco – performed by a Catholic priest . Friends and acquaintances had similar marriage "blessings" in San Francisco. As of a few years ago, when I spoke with another priest involved in these ceremonies, this practice continued. When I left the Castro in 1999, I thought my experiences with facilitating and lecherous priests were endemic to a relatively small section of the world ranging from the Castro to USF . Ten years later, when I started writing about the topic, I heard stories from Catholics (primarily mothers with "gay" sons) who lived in every part of the U.S. They told a similar tragic tale – how a concerned parent sent a confused kid to an officially sanctioned LGBT ministry in his diocese, and the boy later emerged as a gay rights advocate. They also usually picked up a boyfriend at these ministries. When I began my outreach in San Francisco to the LGBT community,...

Image
On Saturday, the state legislature in Washington passed a bill banning gay conversion therapy for minors. In other words, if a young person, wants to get out of the sinful LGBT lifestlye they can't. If they want help -to leave LGBT ideology which many now are discovering it is filled with sinful ideology, unhealthy, unbalanced, sunbject to diseas like anal cancer....looking for help...they are satuck!  The bill will be passed to Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee for his signature. If the governor signs the bill as expected, the highly controversial therapy will be outlawed statewide . The bill, known as Senate Bill 5722 , bans licensed therapists from performing "conversion therapy" on individuals under 18 years of age.  LGBT BULLIES NOW WANT TO MANIPULATE ONE ASPECT OF COUNSELLING - FORGET THE REST - JUST ONE...WHY?  It undermines their fixed ideology the LGBT is good - yet in reality it is not good, not healthy, not sound, not biological and faces health risks ...

Christian governor-candidate takes heat for ad highlighting GOP governor’s pro-LGBT record

Image
An Illinois legislator seeking to beat the pro-abortion Republican governor in his party’s primary released an ad highlighting his radical pro-abortion and pro-transgender beliefs, igniting fury from national media, leftists, and establishment Republicans. Gov. Bruce Rauner , a liberal Republican, signed a law in 2017  expanding forced taxpayer funding of abortion . Rauner supports transgender bathrooms, is squishy on LGBT issues, and supports liberal immigration policies. So Jeanne Ives , who currently represents the state’s 42nd district, released an ad showing people “thanking” Rauner for what he’s done for them. “Thank you for signing legislation that lets me use the girls’ bathroom,” says a man wearing makeup and a dress. “Thank you for making all Illinois families pay for my abortions,” a woman wearing a pink “pussy hat” says. A young man with a bandana covering much of his face – a seeming representation of the “anti-fa” movement – “thanks” Rauner for making Il...

Polyamorous marriage - homosexual slippery slope three-way weddings?

Image
A so-called "throuple" in Colombia have been hailed as having the first legal union between three men in the world. So will we see three-way or four-way marriages in the future? Marriage is now mocked and destroyed by homosexual lust. THE HOMOSEXUAL ILLOGICAL MARRIAGE STUPIDITY Manuel José Bermúdez Andrade, Víctor Hugo Prada and Alejandro Rodríguez are all in a relationship together. They used to be four but their boyfriend Alex Esnéider Zabala died in 2014. "The decision to marry was there before Alex died, the four of us wanted to get married," says Víctor. "Alex's cancer changed our plans. But I never gave up." When Alex died, the remaining three, who live in the Colombian city of Medellín, say they had to fight to be seen as his partners and get access to his pension. It made them all the more determined to get legal recognition of their relationship. They are now planning their long-awaited wedding ceremony after a supportive lawyer signed ...

Priest speaks out against diocese’s controversial ‘transgender’ school policy

Image
The Catholic Diocese of Jefferson City, Missouri , is opening a can of worms that  contradicts Church teaching  and sends the wrong message with its  proposed policy  encouraging enrollment of “ transgender ” students at its schools, one of its priests said. The diocese ’s  Pastoral Process of Accompaniment and Dialogue invites people who actively promote gender confusion or the homosexual lifestyle to test the policy, the priest said, and gives undue credence to those living in objectively sinful or disordered situations. The policy also demonstrates an allegiance to political correctness and liberal ideology, he continued, and also shows there is too much homosexuality in Church leadership today, whether it’s bishops who are gay-friendly or who themselves are homosexual. “I think the whole gender ideology and transgender issue is false,” Father Richard Frank said. “It’s falsehood. And it really contradicts what the Church teaches. It’s kind ...
