GAY TRUTH

LONDON , October 9, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The popular gay actor Rupert Everett has told British media that he has received several death threats for his comments opposing the government’s plans to create gay “marriage.” “I’ve now had all this hate mail and there have been death threats, too,” Everett told the Daily Telegraph , Sept. 30th.  Rupert Everett “All the queens out there now have it in for me,” the 53 year-old actor said. “I’m loathed by them.

Ben Summerskill , chief executive of the gay rights group Stonewall, said: "Rupert should get out a little bit more to see the facts for himself. "There is absolutely no evidence that the kids of gay parents suffer in the way they are being brought up or in how they develop.’ However, this denial fails in the face the the Regernus study which has been vil...
