Boston sued for refusing to fly Christian flag at city hall despite flying LGBT flag

Image
A 59-year-old Boston man is challenging the city’s refusal to fly a Christian flag over city hall to recognize Christianity’s historical contributions to both Boston and the state of Massachusetts, the Boston Globe reports . Camp Constitution is a charitable trust dedicated to promoting “understanding of our Judeo-Christian moral heritage, our American heritage of courage and ingenuity, including the genius of our United States Constitution, and the application of free enterprise” through a variety of discussions, activities, and events. Last year its director, Harold Shurtleff, wanted to fly a Christian flag with a red cross on a blue background, with white on three sides, at the city hall to commemorate “the civic and social contributions of the Christian community to the City, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, religious tolerance, the Rule of Law, and the US Constitution.” But the city denied him a permit on the grounds that it “maintains a policy and practice of respectfull...

PA school shows teens LGBT propaganda videos, refuses to let parents see them

Image
A Pennsylvania school district is under fire for showing students pro-homosexual videos without parents’ consent and refusing to let parents see the videos for themselves afterwards. For the pro-LGBT National Day of Silence on April 27, the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) at Emmaus High School selected four videos that were played during morning announcements, the Morning Call  reported . Two of the titles included "9 Questions Gay People Have About Straight People" and "Show your pride. Share your love.” Those videos have since been identified. The BuzzFeed-produced “ 9 Questions ” video features LGBT speakers mocking the description of homosexuality as a “lifestyle” rather than “just my life,” claiming gay couples not reproducing is a non-issue because “technically the world is overpopulated,” mocking straight people for being offended by assumptions that they’re gay, denigrating heterosexual marriage for high divorce rates, and more. The YouTube-produced “ Sho...

Religious freedom watchdog slams Florida school for ‘bullying’ students with LGBT propaganda

Image
A 14-year-old male eighth grader at Tavares Middle School in Lake County, Florida brought home a printed note last Friday, given to him by his teacher , encouraging him to participate in the “ Day of Silence .” GLSEN, which stands for the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network , designated Friday, April 27 as “a student-led national event where folks take a vow of silence to highlight the silencing and erasure of LGBTQ people at school.” Some of the GLSEN coercion includes allowing students “supportive” of “Day of Silence” to refrain from verbal participation in classroom instruction, while those who do not participate in “Day of Silence” must prepare to answer class questions. The middle school student ’s note from his teacher read:  “I’m staying silent on GLSEN’s Day of Silence. It’s a national youth movement highlighting the silencing and erasure of LGBTQ people at school. Nearly 4 in 5 LGBTQ students don’t see positive LGBTQ representation in their curriculu...

Boston city hall denies Christian flag, but allows LGBT flags

Image
The city of Boston allows any group to schedule an event at the city council plaza and fly their flag next to the American flag . Any kind of group, that is, unless the group or flag is Christian. Gay “pride” flags, transgender flags , Chinese Progressive Association flags, National Juneteenth Observance Foundation flags, and the national flags of any country, including communist countries, have flown over City Hall. But when  Camp Constitution  applied to have their day at the flagpole and speak on Christianity’s contribution to U.S. history, flying the Christian flag was specifically denied. In September, Camp Constitution planned to bring speakers to highlight the influence of Christianity on American freedom and rule of law. The camp’s leaders wanted to offer faith-based ideas for racial reconciliation. Camp Constitution  applied  to the city in July and gave several possible dates, including September 7, 14, or 25. The city responded September 8 wi...

Christian pro-family leader wins five-year battle against ‘frivolous’ LGBT lawsuit

Image
A federal district judge yesterday dismissed a leftist lawsuit against Christian pro-family advocate Scott Lively , who was  sued for “crimes against humanity”  for helping political and faith leaders in Uganda resist the LGBTQ agenda in the east African nation. Massachusetts District Judge Michael Ponsor, in a ruling laced with harsh pro-homosexual attacks on Lively, nevertheless dismissed the SMUG ( Sexual Minorities Uganda ) LGBT lawsuit against Lively — five years after it was filed with the help of the far-left Center for Constitutional Rights ( CCR ). Ponsor cited a 2013 (unanimous) U.S. Supreme Court   ruling  that the Alien Tort Statute did not apply to international claims as the reason for dismissing the lawsuit. The Christian-defense legal group assisting Lively,  Liberty Counsel , heralded the ruling but chastised Ponsor for failing to dismiss the case earlier and for lacing his decision with extremist, pro-LGBT rhetoric demonizing L...

He used to be transgender. Now his birth certificate tells the truth again

Image
After 28 years as a legally-recognized woman, Walt Heyer won his long battle to have his birth certificate restored to its original gender. Heyer’s first attempt to restore his legal gender as a male on his birth certificate was in 1989, but California state authorities would not allow it. Years earlier, he had physically altered his body to look like a woman and was officially recognized as a female. Finally, with the help of lawyers from Liberty Counsel, Heyer’s birth certificate was changed back this year to its original, God-given gender. “The restoration of my original male gender many years later shows man’s unwillingness to consider carefully the long-term consequences,” he told LifeSiteNews. Heyer was abused as a boy by his uncle. His grandmother also abused him by sewing dresses for him to wear. Hence, like so many others who are abused and mistreated, he began identifying with an opposite-sex alter ego.   Throughout adolescence, Heyer was obsessed with fem...

Study Destroys: Born Gay Myth

Image
The groundbreaking study released a few weeks ago by the independent journal The New Atlantis that completely undercuts the foundation of the LGBT agenda , which has sought to convince people that gays and lesbians are "born that way." The report also explodes the gender ideology movement, showing the falsehood of claims that people can be "trapped in the wrong body" or that gender is somehow different from biological sex and can be changed based on someone's feelings and "identity." LGBT extremists are in panic mode because they fully realize that if the truth of human sexuality comes to be known and understood by the American people , their political movement will be damaged. They will have a much harder time pushing their ideology on children in the public schools, and it will be much more difficult to convince judges to impose their agenda on the American people. The LGBT lobby and their allies in the media are hoping that this critical...

Kim Davis takes her freedom fight to Sixth Circuit

Image
ROWAN COUNTY, Kentucky , November 3, 2015 -- Kentucky clerk Kim Davis is taking her fight to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals . In a 126-page appeal, Davis and her attorneys with Liberty Counsel asked the Circuit Court to overturn four lower-court decisions. Specifically, they are asking the Court to reverse two injunctions against Davis, as well as grant her an injunction from having to follow the Supreme Court's marriage ruling, and overturn the contempt of court decision   that placed her in jail . Davis became a national figure for religious liberty after refusing to sign same-sex "marriage" certificates. One of her attorneys   told LifeSiteNews that they effectively won the legal fight , but that the fight continues   because LGBT activists won't stop pressing Davis to put her name on "marriage" certificates for same-sex couples . Davis' arguments have relied heavily on the U.S. Constitution , the Kentucky Constitution, and the stat...

Love wins?

Image
Love wins? Developments in both the US and Canada related to family life and the LBGTQ , etc. movement are becoming ominous. The rage and hatred of those who are determined to force everyone to accept their unnatural sexual lifestyles and dangerous behaviors has been let loose. Tyrannical decisions by government and courts have led to this. The strategically created “hurting victim” veneer is rapidly falling away as long-sought-after power is being won. Now we are more clearly seeing the manipulation of language that has made many blind to the real plans of the natural marriage and family hating social destroyers. As Kim Davis was being arrested, homosexual activists shouted, “love wins, love wins”. How ironic. Yes, Kim Davis’s love for truth and her Lord did indeed win and will always win in the long run. So the chanting was accurate, but not for the reasons of the chanters.  Their supposed love is proving beyond all doubt to be a hatred, a diabolical form of “lov...
