WASHINGTON, D.C. , June 10, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Secretary of State John Kerry wishes homosexuals around the world a “Happy Pride Month .”  That was the message conveyed in a recorded message released Friday to employees of the U.S. State Department , in which he outlined the bureaucracy’s  robust approach  to  promoting   homosexual advocacy  throughout the world. “I wanted to take a moment to join people around the world in celebrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride month,” Kerry said in the message. “This month is about the assertion of equality and dignity. It is about the affirmation of fundamental freedoms and human rights. It is about people taking pride in who they are, no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity. Protecting universal human rights is at the very heart of our diplomacy, and we remain committed to advancing human rights for all, including LGBT individuals. We are committed to advancing these rights ...

Estonian same-sex partnership stalled after family campaigners presented 38,000 signatures

The founder of Estonia’s pro-family movement said in an interview with a Polish Catholic television program that the country’s draft law on same-sex marriage will not go forward after his group presented the government with nearly 40,000 signatures defending traditional marriage. Law professor Varro Vooglaid told Polonia Christiana that presentation of the petition from the Estonian Foundation for Defense of Tradition and Family will not allow the homosexualist ideologues to frame the issue in terms of “human rights”. Last month , the group presented a petition of 38,000 signatures to Estonia’s parliament to oppose all plans that may be put forward to re-define marriage to include same-sex partnerings. This, Vooglaid said, has shown the homosexualist lobby that there is going to be serious and organised opposition to their plans. The petition form was delivered to 580,000 households, in a country with a total population of 1.2 million.  Vooglaid called the petition, the...

An Estonian pro-family organization delivered over 38,000 signatures opposing same-sex "marriage" to the country's parliament last week.  Spokesman for the Estonian Foundation for Defense of Family and Tradition, Slawomir Olejniczak, told LifeSiteNews that the petition campaign was the largest and most successful collection of signatures ever carried out in the country of 580,000 households against a proposed change of law. Petition envelope: "Family = " Olejniczak said that despite a blackout of coverage about the petition by the nation's government media, "the petitions were delivered to all households and 6.5% of the population reacted in favor of natural marriage in such a liberal country like Estonia ."  "The National Broadcasting Union (ERR) completely boycotted covering our petition - I mean totally, - but it has now published a small news article in its English language based portal, which is meant to give information t...

Justice Department: Employees must affirm homosexuality, silence means disapproval

Image
Under President Obama, “justice” is anything but blind. Neither is it deaf. In fact, based on recent revelations, it appears to be watching your every move and listening to your every word. Still, if you happen to be a federal employee, now it’s even listening for your silence. The only thing this Obama White House seems to generate is scandal. Well, here’s yet another to add to the growing list. In addition to the Benghazi cover-up, IRS targeting of political dissenters and the illegal seizure of media phone records, whistleblowers within DOJ have contacted Liberty Counsel to express grave concerns over this administration’s latest attack on freedom. Our sources have provided Liberty Counsel an internal DOJ document titled: “LGBT Inclusion at Work: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Managers.” It was emailed to DOJ managers in advance of the left’s so-called “ Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month.” The document is chilling. It’s riddled with directives tha...
