GAY TRUTH

Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee and 21 other Republicans introduced a bill on Thursday that would protect people and companies that object to immoral homosexual -  same-sex marriage . The bill, called the First Amendment Defense Act , says the federal government cannot change the tax status or deny federal funding to groups who correctly object to homosexual couples, based on their religious beliefs. The bill says that the federal government “shall not take any discriminatory action against a person, wholly or partially, on the basis that such person speaks, or acts, in accordance with a sincerely held religious belief , or moral conviction, that marriage is or should be recognized as a union of one man and one woman; or two individuals as recognized under federal law; or sexual relations outside marriage are improper.” The bill was first introduced back in 2015 , but was never put to a vote.

Bucking the nation’s politically correct transgender tide, the Kansas Republican Party voted this weekend to “oppose all efforts to validate transgender identity.” The resolution affirms “God’s design for gender as determined by biological sex and not by self-perception.” While the Kansas GOP ’s resolution attests to the dignity of all LGBT people , the statement also makes clear that it does not support medical procedures––hormonal or surgical––which aim to affirm people’s perceived, non-biological gender identities .   One intent of the resolution appears to be aimed at counteracting pro-transgender efforts now underway in Kansas’ public school systems. “Some Kansas public schools are encouraging parents and teachers to affirm the feelings of children experiencing gender dysphoria,” reads the approved resolution.  “And some Kansas public schools are allowing access to private facilities according to children’s self-perception of gender and not according ...

English: Furman University - old campus, Greenville, South Carolina Postcard - cropped (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The historic First Baptist Church of Greenville, South Carolina , announced in May that it would declare itself be “open and welcoming” to all people and that it would allow same-sex marriage and ordain openly homosexual ministers.

The church then approved the statement by standing vote. The statement is very clear: “In all facets of the life and ministry of our church, including but not limited to membership, baptism, ordination, marriage, teaching and committee/organizational leadership, First Baptist Greenville will not discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity.” The   Greenville News   told of the congregation’s discern...
