GAY TRUTH

Motivated by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing homosexual “marriage,” a Montana polygamist has filed for a second marriage license, so he can be legally wed to two women at once. "It's about marriage equality," said Nathan Collier, using homosexual advocates’ term to support marriage redefinition. "You can't have this without polygamy." Collier, who has has appeared on the TLC reality show Sister Wives with his legal wife Victoria, and his second wife Christine, said he was inspired by the dissent in the Supreme Court decision. The minority Supreme Court justices said in Friday’s ruling it would open the door to both polygamy and religious persecution. “It is striking how much of the majority’s reasoning would apply with equal force to the claim of a fundamental right to plural marriage,” wrote Chief Justice John Roberts . Collier and his wives applied for a second marriage license earlier this week at the Yellowstone County Courthouse in B...

Utah Standing for Marriage I was honored,  on Tuesday , to be able to join hundreds of pro-marriage supporters at the Salt Lake City Capitol Rotunda for  a wonderful rally supporting Utah's marriage amendment. The turnout was great, and I take my hat off to the organizers who did such a fantastic job pulling the event together. But even more so, I owe high praise to the many wonderful Utah citizens I saw there who came out to express their pro-marriage views and who did so with such positivity, kindness, and dignity. In his " State of the State " address the following day, Governor Gary Herbert   stressed how important those elements are to a healthy public discourse , saying that he wished for Utah to "be a model of how to work through honest disagreements with civility and respect." Well, of course Governor Herbert is right, and I can honestly say from what I saw  on Tuesday  that pro-marriage Utahans are already fulfilling that wish.  Unf...

Immoral Homosexual couples in Utah , the United States Supreme Court on Monday blocked further same-sex marriages there while state officials appeal a decision allowing such unions. The development created what Utah’s attorney general called “legal limbo” for the same-sex couples who had wed in the state in recent weeks. With the state’s ban on such unions reinstated for now, many wondered whether their window to marry in Utah had closed forever. “As remarkable and miraculous as it was, we’re still cognizant of the fact that this still is one of the most conservative states in the union,” said Michael Ferguson, half of the first gay couple to receive a marriage license in the state. “I don’t feel a sense of despair or hopelessness or anything remotely close to that. This is part of living in a civil society where we have the rule of law.” Although Utah had warned gay couples that their marriages could be dissolved if it succeeded in its legal appeals, the state had also begun granti...

Editor’s Note : Homosexuality is one of the most challenging issues that we at LifeSiteNews.com deal with. In all of our reporting on the issue we seek always to integrate the principle of “love in truth” - that is, in all cases to love all people, but also to present them with the truth, which can be extremely challenging if they suffer from same-sex attraction, and especially if they have given themselves to the homosexual lifestyle. Sometimes the mere presentation of the truth is denounced as “hate” by those who advocate the homosexualist agenda. However, there is a considerable group of people who present a challenge to both sides of the debate over homosexuality. Members of this extraordinary group of people admit that they have unwanted same-sex attraction, but also believe that homosexual behaviour is sinful, and homosexual attraction itself “disordered,” and therefore seek to live a life of virtue and chastity. One of the most fascinating of these individuals i...
