Perry signs pledge to protect marriage, oppose homosexual ‘marriage’

Image
Image via Wikipedia Presidential candidate Rick Perry has signed a pledge that if elected president he will protect the traditional definition of marriage and oppose homosexual “marriage.” The Republican Texas governor joins Mitt Romney , Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum in signing the National Organization for Marriage (NOM)  pledge . Rick Perry's signature on the National Organization for Marriage pledge “Kudos to Gov. Rick Perry for making it clear: he’s a marriage champion,” National Organization for Marriage (NOM) president Brian Brown said in an August 26  statement . “By doing so, Perry makes crystal clear that, contrary to the conventional wisdom, gay marriage is going to be a bigger issue in 2012 than it was in 2008, because the difference between the GOP nominee and President Obama is going to be large and clear,” Brown said. “We look forward to demonstrating that being for marriage is a winning position for a presidential candidate.” The NOM marriage pledge l...

NY Same Sex marriage reduces to making money!

Image
On Sunday’s World News, ABC correspondent T.J. Winick filed a report in which he presented same-sex marriage as a way to stimulate the ailing economy - potentially of the entire nation - by getting lots of new married couples to spend money on weddings.   Winick also featured a soundbite of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg criticizing Republicans for opposing same-sex marriage. And, as Christiane Amanpour appeared on the same day’s Good Morning  Image via Wikipedia America to plug her interview with Bloomberg on This Week, she showed a similar soundbite after GMA co-host Bianna Golodryga brought up Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann ’s views on homosexuality. On World News, after anchor David Muir introduced the report by referring to the legalization of same-sex marriage in New York state as a "money maker," correspondent Winick soon elaborated: It all means millions of dollars in state revenue at a time when New York needs it most. Gay ma...

Lady Gaga is wrong about Gay born that way

The Unseen Struggler Written by Dr. David Kyle Foster    There are a few corrections that need to be made in the thinking of our culture concerning homosexuality. First - the idea that people are born gay.  After multiple and repeated efforts by gay researchers to prove a genetic (or other physiological) cause for homosexuality, all have failed. In fact, at least two of the studies have shown conclusively that homosexuality cannot be caused by genes. Most obvious is the identical twin study that showed that pairs of genetically identical twins sometimes had opposite sexual orientations. Since they were  genetically identical  pairs, if homosexuality were caused by genes, you could not have such discordant outcomes. More obvious than that is the logical conclusion that if homosexuality were a genetic defect, the fact that homosexuals do not mate with the opposite sex to produce natural offspring should have caused that genetic mutation to fade from ...

Dear friend, Thanks for your letter. I know how complicated things can be when seeking healing from something that is as deeply planted in one's being as homosexual feelings are. First of all, I'm glad to read that you now have someone locally that you can turn to. That is very important. There is also a national network of ministries for those who struggle with homosexuality called " Exodus International ".  Go online to www.exodusinternational.org and they will give you the name and number of the affiliate nearest you. Even if they don't have a local affilia...

Reparative Therapy, Homosexuality, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Image
Image via Wikipedia Each U.S. presidential election cycle brings its own set of unexpected issues, and the 2012 race already offers one topic of controversy that truly sets it apart — a debate over forms of therapy that attempt to change an individual’s sexual orientation. Known as reparative therapy or sexual orientation conversion therapy , these approaches seek to assist individuals to change their sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual.  The cultural and political debate over reparative therapy emerged when a clinic run by Marcus Bachmann, husband of Republican candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann , was accused of offering treatment and counseling intended to change sexual orientation. Virtually all of the secular professions that deal with sexual orientation are stalwartly opposed to reparative therapy, or to any attempt to change one’s pattern of sexual attraction.  Indeed, these groups hold to an inflexible ideology that insists that there is absolutely nothing ...
