Ex-gay threatened with jail time, fines for testifying about leaving homosexuality

Image
After a Christian charity worker who walked away from homosexuality following his conversion to Christ offered his powerful testimony on a radio show, law enforcement threatened him with possible jail time and a stiff fine for allegedly breaching his country’s law banning LGBT “conversion practices.” The Maltese government’s action against Matthew Grech, 33, is believed to be the first of its kind and is being viewed as a test case by free speech groups and Christian organizations that aim to protect the rights of former gays and lesbians to tell their stories and live freely without harassment from LGBT groups. Some of the latter assert that Christian teaching on marriage and debate surrounding LGBT lifestyles must be treated as criminal offenses. Grech’s message is simple: A decade ago, he experienced conversion to Christ, realized that sexual acts outside of male/female marriage are a “sin,” and freely chose to give up the homosexual life he had been living. If convicted, he faces u...

Police stand by as activists threaten to burn down UK church over pastor calling out homosexual sin

Image
It all began when pastor Joshua Williamson of Newquay Baptist Church posted on social media that it was 'wonderful news' that a local Pride celebration had been canceled. Pink News, an online LGBT “news” outlet, has been frequently called out by none other than gay commentator Douglas Murray as a trashy hate rag primarily focused on grievance-peddling. All of that is true, but the most obvious attribute of those writing for the site is an utter lack of self-awareness. On September 8, for example, they published an attack on 34-year-old Joshua Williamson of Newquay Baptist Church under the headline: “Hateful preacher insists there’s no such thing as a gay Christian while thanking God for canceling Pride.” Williamson’s sin (and it’s important to note that these activists do believe in sin, they’ve just flipped the script) is a social media post noting that Cornwall Pride in the UK had been canceled with the comment “Wonderful news!”  When someone asked him why he’d posted this, ...

UK police investigate transgender pronoun complaints, raising free speech concerns

Image
Members of the public in the United Kingdom are facing investigation by the police and criminal charges if they dare to challenge gender ideology on social media. The week before last, Harry Miller, 53, a plant and machinery dealer and married father of four, reported on Twitter that he had been contacted by Humberside Police at his workplace.  The police cited a series of 30 tweets which were deemed to be potentially “offensive.” Amongst them was a limerick written by a feminist which questioned whether transgender “women” can't be a biological woman. Although the police force admitted that no crime had been committed, Police Constable Mansoor Gul informed Miller that his tweets would be officially logged as a “hate incident” and insisted on referring to the “victim,” telling Miller that “we need to check your thinking.” NO FREE SPEECH - CHECK YOUR THINKING OR YOU MUST THINK THIS WAY Miller’s social media account contained no details pertaining to either his full identity ...

Image
NDP politician Cheri DiNovo has sent an open letter to Ontario’s attorney general condemning a community-based police action during which the police arrested a convicted pedophile who was breaching a probation order to stay away from children. A self-identified “queer woman,” DiNovo added her voice to a number of protests of Project Marie, a six-week sting operation at a west-end Toronto park that   police report resulted in 89 charges, including 71 charges of indecent exposure and engaging in sexual activity and one criminal charge, against 76 men and two women. Cheri DiNovo. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) In her   open letter , the MPP for Parkdale-High Park accused police of “trying to lure gay men and trans people to proposition them for sex.” DiNovo urged Attorney-General Yasir Navqi to “immediately order all 89 charges against these 72 individuals be dropped before more lives are ruined.” “Considering these were minor by-law infractions, this also raises ...

Oregon judge hit with ethics probe after refusing to do gay ‘marriages’

Image
An ethics investigation has been launched against an Oregon judge who ordered his staff to recommend same-sex " marriage " requests to other judges, even though he isn't required to perform the ceremonies. On Thursday, Judge Vance Day’s spokesperson, Patrick Korten, confirmed that Day was being investigated by the Oregon Commission on Judicial Fitness because of his opposition to redefining marriage. While Day has never performed a same-sex "marriage" in his four years on the bench, it was only this past spring that he told his staff to recommend other judges to same-sex couples that request him to oversee "marriage" ceremonies. In 2014, Day decided to stop doing weddings at all, except for one in March of this year that had been previously scheduled, according to Korten. "He made a decision nearly a year ago to stop doing weddings altogether, and the principal factor that he weighed was the pressure that one would face to perform a sam...

‘Transgender’ confusion police officer used discrimination complaint as ‘retaliation’: city investigation

Image
MIDDLETOWN, CT , April 8, 2014, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – After an investigation the city of Middletown, Connecticut has declared that a discrimination claim filed by a “ transgender ” city police officer  is groundless , reports the Middletown Press.  Frank “Francesca” Quaranta, 46, accused the Middletown Police Department of harassment. He has been out on paid administrative leave since August 2013, and  in December , he filed a complaint against the department for making a hostile work environment .  Faith Jackson, the city’s director of human relations who was responsible for conducting the investigation, says that no evidence of mistreatment or hostility exists.  In fact, she suggests, in a letter to Middletown Mayor Dan Drew, that Quaranta acted out of retaliation.  “To use her transgender status as a reason to file a complaint of this nature is a malicious act towards another employee,” Jackson said. “Since I could not substantiate any...

‘They want the nation’s police force’: Ontario police LGBT guidelines written by gay activist

Image
TORONTO, November 7, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Ontario ’s police leaders have released a “best practices document ” written by a gay activist lawyer that they say will help “strengthen relationships” between LGBTQ groups and police. But critics say it will be used to silence those who believe in traditional values. “This document sends a strong signal to our LGBTQ communities and to everyone in our police organizations, that police are determined to proactively address issues that are of importance to our LGBTQ citizens, their families, and their friends,” said Chief Paul Cook, president of the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP), in a  press release .  However, Jack Fonseca of Campaign Life Coalition called the guidelines “pure propaganda designed to give the instruments of power to radical homosexual activists, so they can be used later on to punish those who disagree with their lifestyle.”  Gwen Landolt, lawyer and National Vice President of...

English: The police meet up with some (transsexual?) merrymakers at Nottingham Pride 2010. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) EDINBURGH, August 27, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – An 18-year-old “transsexual” man in Edinburgh is filing hate crime charges against a shopping centre guard after being told that he could not use women’s lavatories. The Daily Record reported that the young man, River Song , whom the paper referred to as a “woman waiting for a sex-change ,” complained to police on Monday when a security guard at St. James shopping centre allegedly told him, “You are a male and always will be.” Describing the incident, Song said, “He pulled me aside and asked if I’d had a sex change. I couldn’t quite believe what I was hearing but I answered him, saying no. “He then asked me, ‘Why have you used the female bathrooms if you haven’t had a sex change?’ He asked for my ID, which I showed him. As he glanced at it, he said, ‘This is a male. You are a male and always will be a male....
