GAY TRUTH

PHOENIX, AZ , February 27, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Facing an intense national campaign of media and economic pressure, Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill that would have given Arizona business owners greater legal protections to exercise their faith in public. Senate Bill 1062  would have made it more difficult to sue business owners who refuse to participate in commerce that violates their religious convictions, such as making a cake for a same-sex “wedding.” “Senate Bill 1062 does not address a specific and present concern related to religious liberty in Arizona,” Brewer  said . “I have not heard of one example in Arizona where a business owner’s religious liberty has been violated.” However, lawsuits have been filed against a  Christian photographer in New Mexico ,  bakers in Colorado  and  Iowa , and an  elderly florist in Washington state  who refused to take part in same-sex ceremonies. Brewer obliquely referred to the ...

PHOENIX, AZ , February 26, 2014 – The backlash created by the  recent passage of Arizona’s SB 1092 , a bill to protect the religious freedom of business owners, continues to escalate as politicians, both Democrat and Republican, and various Arizonan businesses and public officials urge Governor Jan Brewer to veto the bill. Last week, SB 1062 was passed by Arizona’s legislature.  The bill protects business owners from lawsuits filed as a result of refusing their services to potential customers on the basis of religious belief.  This legislation has been blasted by both Republicans and Democrats as being discriminatory and biased, as it would allow business owners to deny working with and for same-sex “weddings.” Arizona’s Republican federal senators, John McCain and Jeff Flake ,  have declared their opposition to the bill .  “I know that the entire business community is galvanized, in a way that I’ve never seen, against this legislation,” said McCain...

PHOENIX, AZ , February 25, 2014 – In a move that has sparked antagonism from both Republicans and Democrats, the  Arizona state legislature passed a bill Thursday  that would grant business owners the right to refuse service to clients on the basis of religious objections. SB 1062  would provide business owners the grounds to deny their services to same-sex “marriages.” The bill, which now awaits the signature of Gov. Jan Brewer , has been lambasted as discriminatory by its opponents, but its defenders say it’s a necessary protection for religious freedom. In the past few years, there have been  several cases of business owners facing lawsuits after  refusing to provide their services  to  gay couples at their “weddings.”  This bill would prevent such suits from being filed in Arizona and would protect objecting business owners from facing heavy fines. This bill has a lion’s share of opponents. Both of Arizona’s federal senators, e...

Two Republican Senators are coming under harsh criticism after breaking campaign promises not to vote for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).  John McCain and Jeff Flake , both of Arizona , were two of the  10 Republicans who voted for the transgender “rights” bill ENDA  when it passed the Senate by a 64-32 vote on Thursday. Arizona was the only state with two Republican senators to see both vote for the bill. Jeff Flake ENDA gives homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgender people special rights and protections against “discrimination” in the workplace – rights usually restricted for discrimination based on race, religion, or sex. But when they were seeking re-election, both McCain and Flake told state voters they opposed “adding 'sexual orientation,' ' gender identity ,' or 'gender expression' to protected classes or race, religion, age, sex, and ancestry in discrimination law." McCain and Flake made their statements in response to ...

JACKSON HOLE, WY, August 30, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Liz Cheney , the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney , is telling voters in Wyoming she has changed her stance on same-sex “marriage.” Running for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate , Cheney accused incumbent Republican Mike Enzi of lying about her record on marriage and abortion in a “push-poll.” Liz Cheney, left, with sister Mary “I am not pro-gay marriage,” Cheney claimed in a  press release  on Friday. “I believe the issue of marriage must be decided by the states, and by the people in the states, not by judges and not even by legislators, but by the people themselves.” That conflicts with her previous support for same-sex “marriage. In 2009, a reporter on MSNBC asked, “How do you feel about the California Supreme Court's decision [on Proposition 8], and what do yo think the Obama administration should do on the question of same-sex 'marriage'?” Liz Cheney replied, “We...

Many people simply don’t grasp the lies behind the challenge to Proposition 8 . The first lie: the challenge was about gay marriage. The truth is that it is about a Christian’s right to vote. The second lie: Proposition 8 took away a right to gay marriage. The truth is, that right never (legally) existed in California. In 2000, California voters approved a law that defined marriage as between a man and a woman, while granting the state the ability to give all the benefits of marriage to couples in a same-sex domestic partnership. This was the everything but the word “marriage” approach to same-sex unions. When those partnerships were being debated in the legislature, even homosexual activists claimed that they did not want the word marriage. It was a religious term, they said, and one with which they wanted nothing to do. But in 2004, the mayor San Francisco directed his county clerk to begin issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples. This office is non-elected, and the clerk...
