Homosexuality is morally protected behavior, judge rules in striking down Texas marriage amendment

Image
SAN ANTONIO, TX , February 26, 2014 – A federal judge ruled today that a Texas law and subsequent constitutional amendment protecting marriage as the union of a man and woman violates the U.S. Constitution , which upholds “the moral and sexual choices of homosexuals.” U.S. District Judge for Western Texas Orlando Luis Garcia said the laws had no “rational relation to a legitimate governmental purpose” but simply reflected the bigotry of the citizens of Texas. “[U.S.] Supreme Court precedent prohibits states from passing legislation born out of animosity against homosexuals, has extended constitutional protection to the moral and sexual choices of homosexuals, and prohibits the federal government from treating state-sanctioned opposite-sex marriages and same-sex marriages differently,” he wrote in his decision invalidating the amendment, as well as a 2003 law. Some 76 percent of Texas voters supported Proposition 2 in 2005, despite being outspent by more than a quarter...

Fox Sports war on religious freedom: sacks Christian for homosexuality views

Fox Sports (United States) (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) September 10, 2013 ( FRC ) - As a former quarterback, Craig James isn't used to being on the defensive. But unfortunately, that's exactly where Fox Sports is putting him in a story that should rock the football world. The retired Pro-Bowler became the latest face of the war on religious liberty, when -- after one day on the job -- Fox Sports gave James the boot for his conservative views on marriage. And here's the kicker: he made the comments, not at the sports desk, but during last year's Senate campaign! Apart from being a popular analyst, Craig also had political aspirations -- aspirations he followed to Texas in an unsuccessful bid against Ted Cruz during the primary. In the course of the campaign, Craig was asked -- as all candidates are -- about his views on marriage and sexuality. James's opinion happens to coincide with  the research , which is that no one is born gay. And, as an orthodox Ch...

Air Force Sergeant claims he was fired for refusing to endorse gay ‘marriage’: faces court martial

WASHINGTON, D.C., September 10, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews ) – An Air Force sergeant who filed a discrimination complaint with the U.S. military claiming he was fired by his lesbian commander for refusing to make a statement of support for same-sex “marriage” may now face prosecution for taking his accusations public. Senior Master Sergeant Phillip Monk was relieved of his duties as first sergeant at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio in August after two separate confrontations with an openly homosexual superior officer, Major Elisa Valenzeula.  The first incident had to do with an Air Force trainer who told trainees he disagreed with state-sanctioned same-sex “marriage” and compared it to the fall of the Roman Empire .  After a number of airmen filed complaints about the trainer’s remarks, Monk was ordered to advise Valenzuela regarding potential disciplinary action. Senior Master Sergeant Phillip Monk “Her very first reaction was to say, ‘we need to lop of...

SAN ANTONIO, Texas , December 8, 2011  – A woman has been fired from a Macy’s department store for denying a man dressed as a woman access to the women’s fitting room . “I had to either comply with Macy’s or comply with God,” said Natalie Johnson, 27, a former employee at the retail giant’s location in Rivercenter Mall , San Antonio. Natalie Johnson says she was concerned for her female customers, who she thought might be uncomfortable about having a man in their fitting room. According to Johnson, on November 30th she witnessed a young cross-dressing man wearing make-up and girl’s clothing exit the women’s fitting room. She told the man “politely” that the women’s fitting room was for women only, making it clear that he was not to make use of the room again. The customer, along with five companions, argued in response that Macy’s is friendly to the LGBT community . Johnson retorted that Macy’s doesn’t discriminate against religious beliefs, adding that it would go against her re...
