GAY TRUTH

President Trump issued an order late Friday that supports a ban on many transgender troops, deferring to a new Pentagon plan that essentially cancels a policy adopted by the Obama administration . The decision revokes a full ban that Trump issued last summer but disqualifies U.S. troops who have had gender reassignment surgery , as recommended by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. “By its very nature, military service requires sacrifice,” Mattis wrote in a memo to the president that was released Friday. “The men and women who serve voluntarily accept limitations on their personal liberties — freedom of speech, political activity, freedom of movement — in order to provide the military lethality and readiness necessary to ensure American citizens enjoy their personal freedoms to the fullest extent.” Current transgender service members who have not undergone reassignment surgery should be allowed to stay, as long as they have been medically stable for 36 consecutive months in their ...

Yesterday came and went without an expected update on the Trump administration’s policy of barring transgendered individuals from serving in the military. But White House officials told the  Washington Examiner  that Defense Secretary James Mattis “has forwarded his recommendations” on the policy to the president. “It’s now up to the president to decide whether to accept Mattis’ advice, which he is making a point of giving in private,” Jamie McIntyre wrote at the  Examiner . “But Pentagon officials tell me they don’t expect Trump to make an immediate decision, because the Pentagon is operating under four separate court orders that prevent any changes to the Obama-era policy that allows transgender troops to serve openly, and provides medical care for conversion therapy for current service members.” When Trump  announced his administration’s initial policy , he cited the “tremendous medical costs and disruption” that gender-confused soldiers pose to th...

After pro-life, Christian social conservative Dr. Mark Green withdrew from consideration for Secretary of the Army on Friday, two leading Christian talk show hosts warned that America is in danger of having a pro-gay “litmus test” for public servants that effectively boxes out Bible-believing Christians . “The Left is turning ‘anti-gay’ (meaning: biblical Christian ) into a nonstarter for public service. Shocked that so few Christians even care,”  tweeted  Christian talker and American Family Radio talk show host Janet Mefferd on Friday. “A movement evil enough to lie/smear to block a Christian from public service is evil enough to do it to all Christians, if it can,” Mefferd said in  another tweet . Dr. Green , a Harvard-educated, decorated West Point grad, retired Army flight surgeon and Tennessee state senator , was targeted by pro-LGBT leftists after President Trump nominated him for Army Secretary. Many of the attack lines used against Green were based...

An open lesbian has been chosen to be the next commandant of the U.S. Air Force Academy , according to a  USAF Academy report  and other media. Col. Kristin Goodwin  has a “wife”  and two children. She will take charge of the USAF Academy pending approval by the U.S. Senate . If approved, she likely will assume her new position in May. That is usually a formality, but conservative opposition to her appointment might make it less so. Air Force Academy alumnus and former Navy Chaplain Gordon James (“Chaps”) Klingenschmitt, a conservative activist, is urging concerned citizens to call their U.S. senators to oppose Goodwin’s nomination to lead the USAF cadets. Klingenschmitt, who heads the  Pray in Jesus Name Project , told LifeSiteNews that Goodwin’s appointment under a Trump presidency is part of a “deep state problem of Obama’s appointments remaining in office while the Senate drags its feet to confirm Donald Trump ’s appointments to replace them.” ...

The criticism of Broussard is totally unwarranted After watching Broussard’s remarks with my wife, I turned to her and said, “That was strong.” All he did was to confess what the Bible teaches about sexual morality and about what God requires of every Christian—obedience ( 1 John 2:4). It was a clearer word than what you would hear in many pulpits. It was biblical. It was faithful. It was courageous. After the news broke earlier today that Jason Collins has come out as the first openly gay player in the NBA, I didn’t really plan to comment. But that all changed after watching Chris Broussard ’s commentary for ESPN . After Collins’ announcement appeared, all the sports shows were abuzz with the news. ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” hosted a discussion between two sportswriters: the openly gay LZ Granderson and the Christian Chris Broussard. The long and short of it is this. Jason Collins still claims to be a Christian even though he is openly gay. ESPN asked Broussard to comment ...
