GAY TRUTH

BELFAST , Northern Ireland , May 5, 2014–– Once again, a measure to introduce same-sex “marriage” into Northern Ireland has failed, making it the only jurisdiction in Great Britain to have resisted the trend to redefine the institution of marriage. It is the third time in the past 18 months that the Northern Ireland Assembly has rejected same-sex “marriage” legislation. The bill was last introduced in the Northern Ireland Assembly last April, when it lost by a 53-42 vote. Six months before that, in October 2012, it lost 50-42. Northern Ireland's Assembly The Sinn Féin Party introduced the motion, which was supported by the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP). The Ulster Unionists and Democratic Unionists opposed it. Sinn Fein currently holds 29 of the Assembly’s 108 seats, while the Democratic Unionists hold 38. The Unionist parties have been aided by both the Anglican Church of Ireland and the Catholic Church , which have both made statements in favor of m...

CANBERRA, Australia, February 13, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - In only 24 seconds the latest effort to have the Lord's Prayer removed from the start of the Australian Senate 's day was defeated, with senators from both the coalition government and the opposition Labor Party voting against it. Under the Senate’s standing order, the president of the Senate is required to read the parliamentary prayer upon taking his chair at the start of the day, regardless of adjournment or suspension from the day before. Australia's Senate chamber The motion against the reading of the prayer, advanced by Greens  Sen.

University of Oxford (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Oxford University caves to gay activist pressure: Male students may wear skirts to exams OXFORD – Oxford University has acceded to the demands of the university’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer Society (LGBTQ Soc) that male students be allowed to wear women’s clothes to exams and other formal occasions. The decision overturns centuries of tradition at one of the world’s oldest academic institutions, in which students are required to dress formally to sit exams. The academic dress code is in effect a uniform, called “subfusc,” and includes an academic gown, cap, and white bow tie for men and a black ribbon for women. It is traditionally worn at chapel services, formal meals as well as exams and academic assessments as well as matriculation. Before the August 4 decision, male students were required to wear a dark suit with black shoes, white shirt and collar, under their gowns. The new rules have abolished the rules ...

Image via Wikipedia TASMANIA, Australia , October 1, 2011  – Tasmania’s lower House of Assembly has become the first Australian parliament to pass a motion backing homosexual ‘marriage.’ The same-sex marriage  motion  that passed 13-9 on Sept 21 was put forward by Green leader and Education Minister Nick McKim . It called for “in-principle support for marriage equality” and for the Australian Government to amend the Commonwealth Marriage Act to include homosexual ‘marriage’ in the name of “marriage equality.” The motion is in conflict with Australia’s Marriage Amendment Bill of 2004, which states that,” Marriage means the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life.” The Marriage Bill also specifies that certain unions are not marriages and therefore cannot be recognized as such in Australia, including unions solemnized in foreign countries between two men or between two women. The Labour Party supported the new motion, wh...
