GAY TRUTH

I have constantly to recalibrate the sense of unreality enveloping the marriage issue because the distance from reality seems to grow day by day. One of my touchstones is Richard Cohen’s column in the Washington Post , whenever he addresses the subject, as he just has again in his May 20 column. The occasion was the release of an HBO film, “The Normal Heart,” a movie version of Larry Kramer’s play about the beginning of the HIV-AIDS epidemic and the apparent indifference of President Ronald Reagan and New York Mayor Ed Koch. The air of unreality in this column could not be thicker. We begin, of course, with his experience of homophobia as a mere lad of 16, when some yahoo told him about how he beat up homosexuals with brass doorknobs. In benighted America of that time, Cohen tells us, “we knew of racism and anti-Semitism,” but were really unaware of homophobia. I grew up in the 1950s, but I don’t really remember it being okay to beat up anyone with brass doorknobs. I didn’t meet the...

DETROIT, March 24, 2014 – Judge Bernard Friedman struck down Michigan's state constitutional marriage protection amendment late Friday afternoon. But that does not mean the state will recognize such unions as legal marriages yet. In 2004, some 59 percent of Michigan voters amended the state constitution to read: “To secure and preserve the benefits of marriage for our society and for future generations of children, the union of one man and one woman in marriage shall be the only agreement recognized as a marriage or similar union for any purpose.” This was enacted “for future generations of children.” Judge Bernard Friedman was named to the bench in 1988 by President Ronald Reagan April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse, a lesbian couple, sued for the right to adopt one another's children. On Friday Judge Friedman, a Reagan appointee, ruled that the state's amendment, supported by 2.7 million Michigan residents, violated the U.S. Constitution, paving the way for homosexua...

DETROIT, MI , March 31, 2014  – Dr. Mark Regnerus , whose conclusions about same-sex "marriage" were dismissed in last week's ruling on the matter by Judge Bernard Friedman , is fighting back. "I frankly don't understand why the judge elected to pass on a discussion of some of the very real concerns our research raised," Regnerus said. Regnerus says Friedman "chose to privilege certain scholars as well as research that leaned on self-selected samples." Friedman ruled that same-sex "marriage" should be legal in Michigan , overturning the state's ban on those relationships. Gov. Rick Snyder has said  he will not validate about 300 same-sex "marriages"  until the state's attorney general has exhausted his legal defense of the state.  Friedman's decision was temporarily "stayed" by the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals , pending the state's appeal. Nominated by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 ,...

, American religious figure. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Hakuna Matata , “don’t worry”: same-sex marriage will not harm ordinary marriage. But way back in 1970, the Gay Revolution Party Manifesto declared: “The gay revolution will produce a world in which all social and sensual relationships will be gay and in which homo- and heterosexuality will be incomprehensible terms.” In other words, the biblical terms for the sexual binary (male/female) will have become “incomprehensible.” Impossible, you may say, but forty-two years later: a gender-neutral pronoun has been proposed for use in Sweden’s public schools; “M” and “F” are disappearing from birth certificates and passport applications in Western countries , and; “parent A” and “parent B” are replacing mother and father. While some Christians downplay the discussion of sexuality in order to survive more comfortably in today’s context, pagans, on the contrary, see its immense importance. In the twentieth century, Carl...

June 6, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - A former president of the American Psychological Association (APA), who also introduced the motion to declassify homosexuality as a mental illness in 1975, says that the APA has been taken over by “ultraliberals” beholden to the “gay rights movement,” who refuse to allow an open debate on reparative therapy for homosexuality. Dr. Nicholas Cummings was President of the APA from 1979 to 1980, and also served as a member of the organization’s Council of Representatives . He served for years as Chief of Mental Health with the Kaiser-Permanente Health Maintenance Organization , and is the author of the book “Destructive Trends in Mental Health: The Well-Intentioned Path to Harm.” In an interview with representatives of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) in late April, Cummings said that the organization’s problems began with the rejection of the Leona Tyler Principle, which required that all public p...
