Australians urged not to accept ‘illiberal’ gay marriage

Image
Two prominent same-sex marriage opponents have stressed that redefining marriage affects society at large, as the debate in Australia continues over changing the law. Brendan O'Neill , the Editor of online magazine Spiked , and marriage campaigner Katy Faust took part in a panel discussion on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Q&A programme. O'Neill detailed the "illiberal" attitude of same-sex marriage advocates and how they have targeted Christians. 'Horrendous' He argued that homosexual marriage presents itself as a liberal civil-rights issue, but that in reality, "it has this really ugly, intolerant streak to it". O'Neill said: "Anyone who opposes gay marriage is demonised, harassed. We've seen people thrown out of their jobs because they criticise gay marriage." He continued: "There are equality cases, shops have closed down, it's like a twenty first century form of religious persecution – it's ...

UK college considers taking down photo of famous alumnus because he opposes gay ‘marriage’

Image
LONDON, UK , February 27, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) -- King's College in London is considering demands by homosexual activists that a portrait of alumnus Lord Carey , the former Archbishop of Canterbury , be removed from a display of famous former students in its main building because of his opposition to same-sex "marriage." Lord Carey is on record for saying that same-sex relationships should not be "put on the same level" as heterosexual unions, and that re-defining marriage would “strike at the very fabric of society." King's College London Student Union released a  statement  saying it was offended by Lord Carey’s remarks, saying the former archbishop’s view is “outdated, hurtful and offensive.” Colin Hart, campaign director of the UK   Coalition for Marriage , said, “Attempting to airbrush Lord Carey from Kings College’s list of distinguished alumni for his support of traditional marriage smacks of the most appalling form of censorship....

British Catholic monk expects prison for promoting Christian teaching on homosexuality: interview

A British hermit who only leaves his hermitage to distribute pamphlets promoting Christian teachings on homosexuality and abortion expects to be imprisoned for breaking the terms of his bail and continuing to confront his country’s “culture of death.” “At first I agreed to do no more leafleting,” Brother Damon Kelly , 53, told LifeSiteNews. “But I’ve wrestled with it, I’ve sought spiritual counsel. And I’ve decided I have to obey God’s law and not the State’s law. Which will land you in a lot of trouble.” Brother Damon is the leader of a trio of Catholics called the Black Hermits who are under personal vows to their local bishop and based in Corby, Northamptonshire . The hermit also told LifeSiteNews he’s decided he cannot follow the advice of his lawyer, Michael Phillips , who has told him that if he confines himself to giving out his material on the street, he’d be protected by the right to free speech .

This is not equality

Official portrait of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) In Nigeria , gunmen kidnapped more than 100 schoolgirls and torched the surrounding town on Tuesday. A day before, a deadly blast killed 71 people. A day later, 18 people were killed in another attack. Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department is laser-focused on . . . promoting homosexuality. In 2011, former Secretary Hillary Clinton and President Obama directed all federal agencies working abroad to protect and promote lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons. To give an example how this shakes out, within hours of an arrest – and release the same day – in Uganda of an employee of a US -funded clinic for alleged “unethical research” and “recruiting homosexuals,” the State Department released a statement. This “heightens our concern” for the safety of LGBT individuals. And the U.S. suspended operations of the entire health clinic . Patients and health providers were not at ri...

Image via Wikipedia The United Nations Human Rights Council is reportedly on the verge of passing a homosexualist ‘human rights’ declaration that has been promoted by the administration of U.S. President Barrack Obama , the Associated Press is reporting. The resolution on “Human rights, sexual orientation and gender identity ,” denounces “discrimination” against homosexuals.  It also implies that traditional human rights declarations, which do not mention sexual orientation or “gender identity,” also apply to sexual orientation. The declaration expresses “grave concern at acts of violence and discrimination, in all regions of the world, committed against individuals because of their sexual orientation and gender identity.”  It also cites a previous resolution of the UN General Assembly to the effect that “the Human Rights Council shall be responsible for promoting universal respect for the protection of all human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without disti...
