Feminists threaten legal action after Scottish government recognizes gender-confused men as women

Image
A women’s rights group is considering legal action against Scottish government guidance which recognizes gender-confused men as women.  For Women Scotland says that it’s considering seeking a judicial review after the Scottish government released statutory guidance in June changing the definition of “woman” for the purposes of the Gender Representation on Public Boards Act 2018.  The statutory guidance states that men who are either planning to or have begun so-called “gender-reassignment” processes and who are “continuously living as a woman” will be considered women for the purposes of the Act. “This would not require the person to dress, look or behave in any particular way,” the guidance says.  “However, it would be expected that there would be evidence that the person was continuously living as a woman, such as – always using female pronouns; using a female name on official documents such as a driving licence or passport, or on utility bills or bank ac...

Scottish churches demand Council apology over 'illegal and discriminatory' Franklin Graham booking cancellation

Image
Church leaders in Scotland have written to Glasgow City Council calling for an immediate reversal of the decision to cancel the booking of Franklin Graham at the city's SEC arena. Despite contracts being signed, the Council urged the venue to reconsider, claiming the US evangelist's appearance would cause division. The opposition is linked to previous comments he had made about homosexuality.  The cancellation was one of eight arenas who told Graham that he was no longer welcome.  The evangelist subsequently launched legal action to get the decision overturned. A Scottish court has fast-tracked a legal case lodged by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) in relation to the recent cancellation of an event set to feature Christian preacher and evangelist, Franklin Graham. Glasgow's Scottish Event Campus terminated its booking contract with BGEA after pressure from LGBT activists who insisted that Graham was homophobic and should not be given a platform in ...

Scottish children forced to learn about homosexual sex

Image
All Scottish children in government-funded schools, including Catholic schools, will now be indoctrinated with LGBT “inclusive education” that will be “embedded” throughout the curriculum.  Kids will be manipulated even forced to watch immoral acts of indecency. Last Thursday, Scotland’s Education secretary John Swinney told parliament that his country will become “the first country in the world to have LGBTI [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and intersex] inclusive education embedded within the curriculum”. All state schools, primary and secondary, will teach a pro-homosexuality, pro-transsexual philosophy to children of all ages under “various themes” including “LGBTI terminology and identities”, so-called homophobia, biphobia and transphobia; and the history of the “LGBTI equalities and movements.” This is a result of 33 recommendations made by the Scottish Government’s " LGBTI Inclusive Education Working Group ," all of which have been accepted by the government. A...

Scotland will force without consent LGBT ideology on kids

Image
Scotland will be the first country in the world to force upon children the sinful homosexual ideology. It will include sinful distorted immoral practices on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex issues in school curricula. The Scottish Parliament adopted all 33 recommendations put forth by the LGBTI Inclusive Education Working Group, which are intended to address bullying, discrimination, and prejudice in schools. But it went much further and will now indoctrinate kids on the immorality and sin of homosexuality. er a law that made it illegal for public authorities to “promote homosexuality” was overturned.  This sinful unhealthy practice came about after a 2016 petition from the TIE Campaign was rejected by Parliament, which said at the time that it could not “force” local authorities to include LGBTI issues in classrooms. But now it can be forced upon people? Why? Because homosexual push their own immorality onto people - it has been sadly s...

BBC pro-LGBT video: Holy Communion ‘tastes like cardboard, smells like hate’

Image
British Catholic officials criticized an "offensive" BBC video on LGBT tolerance that says Holy Communion “tastes like cardboard” and “smells like hate.” BBC The Social, a social media outlet aimed at young adults managed by BBC Scotland ,  posted  a video titled “Time for Love” on April 9 on Facebook and YouTube . The video dramatizes a young man’s response to his feeling restrained from kissing his male partner in a public park because of others’ views on same-sex relationships. It gives an unflattering portrayal of those in the park who react negatively toward the couple. The Facebook post introducing the video stated, “ This is how homophobia feels in 2018.” The video depicts a parody of the Eucharist at one point, with a priest elevating a cheese cracker. “Because it seems to me like Jesus saved a lot of time when he died for all our crimes that he would have wasted teaching small minds that love is no sin,” the narrator says.  “See him, he thinks i...

Do men have a uterus?

Image
Did you ever wake up and look at the latest news and find yourself wondering, “Has the whole world gone mad?” It takes a lot to get me to that point. I see a lot of strange stuff here on the front lines of the culture wars. But every so often the accumulation of crazy stories strikes a nerve, making me ask myself, “Have we totally lost our minds?” It started again for me a few days back when I saw this now infamous tweet from a Planned Parenthood affiliate in Kentucky , declaring, “Some men have a uterus.” And in case you didn’t get their point, they repeated it 11 times. (Count them for yourself.) Planned Parenthood@PPIndKentucky Some men have a uterus. Some men have a uterus. Some men have a uterus. Some men have a uterus. Some men have a uterus. Some men have a uterus. Some men have a uterus. Some men have a uterus. Some men have a uterus. Some men have a uterus. Some men have a uterus. What on earth were they saying? Simply that there are biological females who now identif...

Preacher locked up for hate crime after quoting the Bible to gay teenager

Image
Christian evangelist was accused of a hate crime and locked up in a cell after preaching from the Bible to a gay teenager. Gordon Larmour, 42, was charged by police after telling the story of Adam and Eve to a 19-year-old who asked him about God ’s views on homosexuality . The street preacher referred to the Book of Genesis and stated that God created Adam and Eve to produce children. Within minutes he was frogmarched to a police van, accused of threatening or abusive behaviour 'aggravated by prejudice relating to sexual orientation' - despite not swearing or using any form of offensive language. The father-of-one spent a night in custody and faced a six-month ordeal before a sheriff cleared him of any blame. The incident, which occurred in his home town of Irvine in Ayrshire, has become a rallying point for Christian campaigners who are concerned that freedom of speech is being stifled by political correctness. Mr Larmour told the Scottish Mail on Sunday: “I can't ...

Scotland trains 60 policemen to fight LGBT hate crime

Image
Scottish police and homosexual advocacy groups are combining to train 60 officers as LGBT - hate crime specialists in an apparent effort to increase the number of hate crimes reported.  The move has raised concerns over the possible criminalization of any criticism of homosexuality. Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality told LifeSiteNews, "Everyone is against hate and violence against homosexuals or anybody else. But are they setting up a politically correct hierarchy of victims with homosexuals at the top?" According to the Equality Network , which will be training LGBT liaison officers for the Scottish police, there were 841 "sexual orientation aggravate crimes" in 2015 and 21 "transphobic" crimes. The press release adds, "there is said to be evidence of significant under-reporting." In evidence, the charity reports on a survey of LGBT Scots indicating that half had seen or been victims of "prejudice or di...

THE GRAND KREMLIN PALACE, MOSCOW. President Putin with Lyudmila Putin at a party after the inauguration ceremony. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Citing the Russian laws against homosexual propaganda, and rules governing NGOs that receive foreign funding, a St. Petersburg court has ruled that the Russian LGBT advocacy group called Vykhod (Coming Out) must register itself as a "foreign agent." The group is a member of the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) located in Geneva, Switzerland , and is linked with the LGBT Network based in Scotland . According to Vykhod's Facebook page , Judge Naidyonova of the Vasileostrovsky District Court of St. Petersburg ruled the group is a foreign agent because it is “engaged in political activities on behalf of foreign countries,” and is in violation of the laws against homosexual propaganda because its activities and publications discriminate against “persons with traditional sexual orientation.” Legislation passed...

Teachers cannot opt out of teaching gay ‘marriage’ in school sex-ed classes: Scottish NHS

Image
EDINBURGH,  – While Scottish government draft guidelines currently allow teachers with moral objections to opt-out of certain aspects of the country’s new sex-ed curriculum, several National Health Service boards have objected to the opt-out clause. They are also objecting to provisions allowing parents to opt their children out of the classes. Currently, the guidelines require teachers who have a moral objection to things like teaching about gay “marriage” to opt out, if alternative arrangements are made "where possible." But that’s not good enough, according to a submission from NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde .  “It is extremely concerning that teaching staff would be provided an opportunity to refuse to participate in this particular aspect of the curriculum,” said the board, one of the largest in the country.  Sex education can be compared, they said, to “other areas of the taught curriculum where conscience may be a factor and no option to withdraw ...

Image
DUNDEE, Scotland,  – Tony Miano, an American evangelical street preacher and former policeman, must be getting used to being arrested for his beliefs in Britain. Miano was arrested January 8 th , in Dundee, Scotland , and remanded in custody to appear before Dundee Sheriff Court the next day. Charged with a public order offence and held for nearly 30 hours, Miano was allowed to return to the US on the condition that he returns to the court in April. A spokesman for the legal advocacy group Christian Concern told LifeSiteNews.com that the situation of street preachers being arrested is getting out of hand, with police making what are, essentially, arbitrary arrests. Tony Miano Garry Selfridge, spokesman for Christian Concern said that the Dundee court “is being a little pathetic and backward” in allowing the proceedings to move forward. “There is an overall blanket of political correctness that cloaks the whole establishment in the UK , so the police are not well adv...
