GAY TRUTH

Folks around the world rightly recoiled in horror when it was revealed that the Muslim nation of Brunei would enact a Sharia-based law condemning gays to be stoned to death.     Major news outlets reporting on the story used the term “anti-gay” to describe the neanderthal measure. Here are some of the headlines from the last few days: CNN:  Brunei's new anti-gay law goes into effect this week. Here's how the world is reacting BBC:  Brunei implements stoning to death under anti-LGBT laws AP:  Germany protests to Brunei envoy over anti-gay law plans The Guardian:  UN joins Clooney in decrying 'inhuman' Brunei anti-gay law USA Today:  Ellen DeGeneres, other celebs boycott Brunei-owned hotels as a law against gay sex goes into effect Los Angeles Times:  L.A. city leaders call for a boycott of 2 hotels over Brunei’s anti-gay laws “Anti-gay,” however, is the same term that mainstream media, progressives politicians, an...

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...

Former President George H. W. Bush and his wife Barbara attended a wedding last year that made national news. According to The Washington Post , the elder Bushes attended the wedding of two lesbians, Bonnie Clement and Helen Thorgalsen, held at Kennebunkport, Maine . No one should be surprised by the opening line of the Post report: “Another prominent Republican has come out in support of same-sex marriage—or, at least, in support of one particular same-sex marriage.” Similarly, the “ Daily Intelligencer ” column at New York Magazine declared that George and Barbara Bush are apparently in favor of same-sex marriage “since they not only attended a lesbian couple’s wedding on Saturday, but served as witnesses as well.” The news coverage of the Bushes’ attendance at the same-sex wedding points to a reality that must be understood—and fast. Attendance at a wedding is not a neutral act. The history and context of the wedding ceremony identify all those present as agreeing to the ri...

A West Virginia county clerk 's office has agreed to pay $10,000 in damages to a lesbian couple who said they faced disparaging remarks while applying for a marriage license last year. The incident prompted Amanda Abramovich and Samantha Brookover to sue Gilmer County Deputy Clerk Debbie Allen and Clerk Jean Butcher. According to the complaint, Allen called the couple an “abomination” and told them that God would “deal” with them while processing their application. According to The Washington Post , Allen's comments against the women lasted several minutes and another clerk shouted that it was Allen's “ religious right ” to harass the couple. When Brookover's mother, who witnessed the abuse, called the county clerk's office to complain, she said that Butcher stood by her deputy and allegedly said that the next same-sex couple that sought a marriage license “would get the same or worse” treatment. Allen has denied she called the couple an “abomination or any ...

A leading pro-natural marriage advocate called on President-elect Donald Trump to reverse outgoing President Obama ’s pro-homosexual and pro-transgender Executive Orders while the ACLU threatens to sue Trump to stop him from implementing his campaign promises. Ryan Anderson , a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation ,   tweeted : "Because so much of the bad that [Barack Obama] did came through executive action, [Donald Trump] can get rid of it all.” And he added: “With one stroke of a pen   @realDonaldTrump   can get rid of the DOE [Department of Education]/DOJ [ Department of Justice ] Transgender Agenda and allow local schools to find win-win solutions.” Back in May, in an interview with   The Washington Post , Trump promised to revoke Obama’s highly-controversial “transgender” student directive — which pushes schools to allow gender-confused students to use the opposite-sex restrooms of their perceived “gender identity,” under the thre...

A magistrate has been struck off after making controversial comments on national television.  Richard Page was reprimanded last year after questioning whether a same-sex couple would be the best choice of parents during an adoption case. The 69-year-old Christian, from Headcorn , said it was natural and in the interests of a child to be brought up by a mother and father. Magistrate Richard Page, from Headcorn, has been struck off After being reprimanded by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) Mr Page, who made the comments behind closed doors, was sent on an equality course. The NHS manager, who has been a magistrate on the Central Kent Bench covering Maidstone and Sevenoaks for 15 years and has also been a foster parent , then took part in a BBC debate on whether Christians were being squeezed out of public life. "There is not sufficient evidence to convince me placing a child in the care of a same-sex couple can be as holistically beneficial to a...
