LGBT uses false science over homosexuality

Image
Last week  we reported  about a hopelessly un-scientific  “LGBT Survey”  published and promoted by the EU ’s Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) as part of a larger effort to push its absurd “ anti-discrimination ” agenda, in particular a directive that would eliminate important civil freedoms such as the freedom of conscience and the freedom of contract. According to the survey, 48 percent of homosexuals are afraid of exhibiting their sexual proclivities in public. Potential future adoptive parents This has  angered several political figureheads of the homosexual agenda . However,  when asked to provide a substantial argument  why the FRA Survey (which cost the European taxpayer 370.000 Euro, i.e. roughly $5 U.S. for each of the replies received) was not “bogus,” they remained conspicuously silent. Are they still searching for arguments, or are they aware that they have none? The  leading Austrian newspaper  Die Presse  com...

UN Human Rights Council passes homosexualist declaration against ‘discrimination’

Image
Image via Wikipedia The United Nations’ Human Rights Council, a committee based in Geneva, Switzerland , has approved a declaration denouncing ‘discrimination’ against homosexuals and ordering a global study of the phenomenon. The declaration also decries discrimination against people for their “ gender identity ,” which refers to the sex that a person claims to be, in contrast to his actual biological sex. The Human Rights Council, whose decisions are not legally binding on UN member nations , passed the resolution in a narrow 23-19 vote, with three abstentions.  In addition, Libya was not permitted to vote, because its membership has been suspended. While Muslim nations voted against the measure, delegates from traditionally Catholic nations voted for it, despite the declaration’s potential conflict with Catholic social teaching . While the Catholic Church teaches that homosexuals should not be victims of “unjust discrimination,” it also acknowledges that forms of discrim...

Growing opposition to Gay marriage in Australia

Image
Image via Wikipedia The Human Rights Commission says the case for same-sex marriage was also strong. Would you say then that the Federal Government by not endorsing same-sex marriage is out of step with public opinion ? PUBLIC OPINION WANTS TO ENDORSE SIN CATHERINE BRANSON : Well certainly what we heard from the people that we consulted with is that it's an important aspect of equality for them. This consultation didn't purport to be a sound survey of the Australian population . But there is growing evidence that a very significant proportion of the Australian population agrees. WHO SUPPLIED THE EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT? Submissions to the consultation also showed support for marriage equality as an important step towards full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex people. ANSWER: Gays or Marriage Equality Group, not the population.  150 received comments. 97 attended roundtable discussion in both Sydney and Melbourne and the majority ...

Street Preacher arrested over homosexuality is sin

Image
BIRMINGHAM, December 14, 2010 – West Midlands police have been ordered by a court to pay an Evangelical street preacher from Birmingham who preached that homosexuality is immoral over £4000 plus legal expenses for wrongful arrest and imprisonment. Anthony Rollins, a Christian preacher who suffers from autism, was arrested while he was preaching in Birmingham city centre . Rollins was charged with a breach of Section 5 of the Public Order Act, a statute that has come under criticism for restricting freedom of speech. The court heard that on June 24, Rollins was preaching using the King James Bible and expressed his Christian belief that homosexual conduct is morally wrong. The Christian Institute , which represented Mr. Rollins, reports that a member of the public, John Edwards, objected to the message, shouting “homophobic bigot” before calling 999 and asking for the police. Rollins was arrested on the spot with no further inquiry by police. He was detained for three hours and never...
