GAY TRUTH

WASHINGTON, D.C. , March 18, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) -- U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz , R- TX , widely considered a potential contender for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, told an Iowa radio host last week that the growing number of federal court rulings striking down state laws defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman represent “a real danger to our liberty.” Explaining his plan to introduce a constitutional amendment to elicitly reserve the power to define marriage to individual states, Cruz told WHO presenter Jan Mickelson, “We have seen judges, and especially the Supreme Court , ignoring the law.” “If the courts were following the Constitution , we shouldn’t need a new amendment,” said Cruz, “but they are, as you put it quite rightly, 'making it up' right now and it’s a real danger to our liberty." “If the citizens of the state of Iowa or the citizens of the state of Texas want to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman … the sta...

Prof John Eastman , Chairman of our board, is one sharp legal eagle. Watch him take on and demolish the idea that the Supreme Court has authorized county clerks in Pennsylvania and other states to just hand out 'marriage' licenses to gay couples lawlessly, without even the cover of a court order. Watch Prof. John Eastman on PBS New Hour  lay down the law  to James Esseks from the ACLU: The people that are opposed to redefining the very core institution of marriage are going to continue to fight. Justice Kennedy 's opinion in the Defense of Marriage Act case rests heavily on the fact that states are the primary determiners of marriage policy in our country. . . .The statutes and the state constitutional provisions that define marriage as it has been through most of human history, as a man and a woman, don't need to be changed. All over this country people are facing the question: submit or stand up.  Prof. John Eastman points out how many people are choosing ...

It's hard to believe, but even in Iowa opponents of God's design for marriage have resorted to name calling, threats, and bias behavior. In  Sioux City , during the 2010 campaign to unseat three renegade judges, Scott Raasch sent this email to a Christian pastor, Rev. Cary Gordon, who campaigned against gay marriage : Raasch wrote, "You will get what's coming to you sooner or later. I hope you rot in hell," adding, "I think there are many people that deserve to burn in hell...including you and your entire family." These are not the words of tolerance or civility, and they certainly do not lift up human rights . Despite these threats, Mr. Raasch now sits on the  Sioux City Human Rights Commission . Even though he's since apologized for his outrageous language, can Iowans who believe in true marriage really expect justice and impartiality when the person responsible for protecting human rights so viciously attacks the right to speak the truth about ...

Who would think we would live to see the day when a black Mayor of the District of Columbia would use not only local but federal funds to ban a Grammy-award winning black pastor from performing at a concert in honor of Rev. King because — he believes and says that Christ liberated him from "the sin of homosexuality." Mayor Vincent Grey admits he made the decision to ban Donnie McClurkin from singing, in spite of a signed contract to do so, because gay activists consider him too controversial — calling him vile and claiming his performance would be at odds with the spirit of Dr. King . The Mayor's office tried to pretend it was a mutual decision, but Pastor McClurkin is not going to let the lie stand: The black churches in D.C. are up in arms, but they are not yet able to dislodge the new man-made moral law: "Thou shall affirm all things homosexual no matter what the Bible says." Read their statement here. Breaking Down Intolerance With Love and Courage When ...

English: Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Vaughn R. Walker, in 2008 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Megan Tooker, Chief Executive and General Counsel for the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board — the very person charged with conducting a fair and impartial investigation into the complaint — worked for Supreme Court Justice Michael Streit, one of the judges we helped remove from office during the 2010 judicial retention campaign! Talk about an apparent conflict of interest. It's no wonder that Ms. Tooker has in effect already publicly "convicted" NOM in absentia through the press. Instead of giving the good people of Iowa ethical and impartial service, Ms. Tooker has revealed her deep bias and animosity by declaring, without seeing any evidence in the case, that NOM is "absolutely false" and "absolutely wrong" in its position. Worse, she has blatantly lied to the public and media by misrepres...

GRIMES, IA, August 12, 2013 ( LifeSiteNew s.com ) – A Christian couple is facing a state complaint, business cancellations, and vulgar, harassing, and threatening e-mail messages after refusing to rent out a business facility for a gay “wedding.” Dick and Betty Odgaard said they could not in good conscience allow a homosexual couple to use their business, the Görtz Haus Gallery, to conduct the ceremony itself. Betty Odgaard “To us, [marriage] is a sacrament,” Betty Odgaard said, that exists only “between a man and woman.” She told Billy Hallowell of  The Blaze  their rejection was “totally a faith-based issue,” adding the couple would be happy to serve the homosexuals “in any other way,” besides being the site on which they traded vows. The couple quickly filed a legal complaint before the Iowa Human Rights Commission, saying that state law forbids any public venue from denying the use of its premises on the basis of sexual orientation. As the story of t...

A couple of 14-carat gold wedding rings. Picture taken in Brazil, where 14-carat is the most common kind of gold used in jewelry. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The wedding industry attracts a number of devout Christians. It's natural perhaps, given the Bible describes the act of joining a man and woman in marriage, as mirroring God's presence in a special way. Many of these Christians are now being asked, cruelly, to choose between their faith and their families' livelihoods. The latest case to emerge is in Grimes, Iowa . The Odgaards, husband and wife owners of Gortz Haus, were too honest to lie when a gay male couple showed up and tried to book their venue for their wedding ceremony . Mr. Odgaard asked if they were looking for a place for a gay wedding . When told "Yes" he said, "I can't take your money and I don't do things for free." "It's not from an angry place," Mrs. Odgaard told the press. It's just that sh...
