GAY TRUTH

An important decision of the England and Wales Court of Appeal, The Queen (on the application of Ngole) -v- The University of Sheffield [2019] EWCA Civ 1127 (3 July 2019) has ruled that a social work student, Felix Ngole, should not have been dismissed from his course on the basis of comments he made on social media sharing the Bible’s view on homosexuality. The court says in its summary at para [5], point (10): The Queen (on the application of Ngole) -v- The University of Sheffield The mere expression of views on theological grounds  (e.g. that ‘homosexuality is a sin’) does not necessarily connote that the person expressing such views will discriminate on such grounds. The decision is a welcome one, which will hopefully provide guidance in similar situations. The background to the case was noted in my previous blog post on the case, here. I encourage readers to go there for the details of the original post and the subsequent disciplinary proceedings. Perhaps this summ...

Editor's note: The following report is written by Peter LaBarbera, a former reporter for LifeSiteNews and the president of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH.org), based outside Chicago, Illinois. He shares a letter he wrote to Twitter after being banned from the platform for posting what the social media giant deemed "hateful conduct." WARNING: This this letter contains graphic medical descriptions of homosexual acts. October 17, 2018 – I sent a version of the following letter to Twitter today appealing their decision Monday to lock me out of my account ( @PeterLaBarbera ) due to a 2016 tweet describing homosexual acts as a “sin” that “spreads disease” – which Twitter deemed in violation of its rules against “hateful conduct.” Near the end of the letter, I state the following: "If Twitter no longer allows its users to advocate for healthy behaviors on its platform, and to defend their sincere moral and religious beliefs--shared by billions worldwide--th...

Over the weekend Facebook unpublished the page of a prominent social-conservative group for allegedly using unspecified “hate speech,” Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) president Peter LaBarbera revealed Monday. AFTAH is dedicated to “apply[ing] the same single-minded determination to opposing the radical homosexual agenda and standing for God-ordained sexuality and the natural family as countless homosexual groups do in promoting their harmful agenda.” LaBarbera frequently debates homosexual issues on mainstream and pro-LGBT media and has written for LifeSiteNews. On Sunday, Facebook took down AFTAH’s Facebook page entirely, leaving only a “Page Not Found” message in its place as of the time of this writing.

We are appealing: 2 “Y...

The UK-based website PinkNews is Snapchat’s “ first LGBT partner ,” meaning the pro-gay news site’s channel will appear in the app’s “Discover” section, accessible to children and teens alongside outlets like Cosmopolitan. PinkNews is “now read by more people than any other LGBT+ media in the US or the UK,” it says. Snapchat, which allows users sending photos and videos that disappear after being opened and post to their “story” photos and videos that are visible to friends for 24 hours, has become an increasingly popular social media platform for millennials and the younger “Generation Z.” The addition of PinkNews will not be much of a significant change, as the Discover section already features content from a number of media outlets, most of which lean considerably left and often are sexually explicit. On Thursday, a story from PinkNews available on Snapchat was about the 10-year-old drag queen “Desmond is Amazing.” The National Center for Sexual Exploitation put Snapchat on its...

Update April 20: In keeping with our regular practice, we contacted Catholic Relief Services on Friday morning for a response prior to publication, and gave them a deadline of 4pm. In this case they did not respond. However, by Monday morning, Estridge's LinkedIn and Facebook profiles were taken down. BALTIMORE, MD , April 20, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) -- As Catholic bishops throughout the U.S. face attacks for requiring Catholic teachers not to support same-sex “marriage,”  new evidence  shows that a vice-president at the bishops’ own foreign relief agency is himself “married” to another man. Critics say the news confirms Catholic Relief Services’ history of hiring high-level employees who openly oppose fundamental Catholic moral teachings, and raises further doubts about the organization’s stewardship of Catholic funds. Rick Estridge, Catholic Relief Services' Vice President of Overseas Finance, is in a same-sex "marriage," public records show. Twitter...
