GAY TRUTH

With Neil Gorsuch now on the US Supreme Court, as one of its last acts of the current term the Supreme Court decided to accept the case of  Masterpiece Cakeshop v Colorado Civil Rights Commission , a critical case that highlights the growing problem of supporters of marriage being discriminated against by government and targeted for harassment and punitive punishment in violation of our constitutional rights. Jack Phillips is the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, a skilled baker and cake artisan, and a devout Christian. He runs a family business that has thrived in Lakeland, Colorado for nearly 25 years. He's happily served all clients, and continues to sell baked goods to anyone who seeks them regardless of their religious beliefs, politics or sexual orientation.  However, when it comes to applying his artistry and creativity to helping with events and ceremonies that violate his deeply held religious beliefs, he draws the line and declines to personally participate.

National Surveys Show Decline in Support for Same-sex 'Marriage' We reported last week about the phenomenal change in public opinion concerning the public's support for same-sex 'marriage' as documented by a national survey conducted by the Associated Press/Gfk . The AP/GfK survey found support for SSM down 6 points since April, and opposition up by 4 points — a combined 10 point swing in public opinion. Two other national polls have been released, both showing a similar trend. Ipsos/Reuters found in its most recent survey that 51% of adults support same-sex 'marriage,' down 3 points since April. And the latest Gallup poll showed support for same-sex 'marriage' at 58% with opposition at 40%. As we've pointed out previously , the support number is artificially high due to Gallup's use of the dubious practice of "priming" whereby they ask a leading question designed to elicit support for same-sex couples right before asking about ga...

United States Supreme Court building. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Have you ever heard of the 1972  U.S. Supreme Court decision in a case called  Baker v. Nelson ? If so, you are probably a lawyer, or (like me) a person who regularly reads briefs and court decisions on the issue of redefining “marriage” to include homosexual couples. If you have never heard of this case, you can be forgiven — even if you regularly read news stories about the movement for the same-sex redefinition of marriage . However,  Baker v. Nelson  is an important precedent on this issue. It was the very first case in which anyone ever asserted that the Constitution of the United States protects the right to legally “marry” a person of the same sex. In  Baker , a male couple sued a county clerk in Minnesota for denying them a marriage license in May 1970. The case made its way to the Supreme Court of Minnesota — which, on October 15, 1971, issued a ruling declarin...

LOS ANGELES, March 18, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Cardinal Roger Mahony , the former archbishop of Los Angeles , along with a defrocked priest who served time in prison for engaging in sex acts with boys, will together with the archdiocese pay approximately $10 million to settle four civil lawsuits over child sex abuse ,  Reuters  reports. Cardinal Mahony was  censured  and relieved of his public duties by Archbishop Jose Gomez in January after a court order forced the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to release  documents  detailing Mahony’s cover-up of sexual abuse by priests .  Cardinal Roger Mahony Archbishop Gomez said at the time, “I find these files to be brutal and painful reading. The behavior described in these files is terribly sad and evil.” The newly settled civil suits accused Mahony of shielding pedophile priest Michael Baker from the legal consequences of his ongoing abuses by quietly sending him to a Church-owned rehab center in ...
