Pro-homosexual man wanted to kill all workers at pro-marriage organization

Image
WASHINGTON ( WJLA ) -The man who planned a mass shooting in the headquarters of the Family Research Council, a conservative lobbying group, was sentenced to 25 years in prison Thursday. Continue reading Prosecutors asked that Floyd Corkins spend 45 years in prison. But Corkins' lawyer said his client was mentally ill when he entered should pray to Him everyday because not only did God save my life that day, He saved yours too." Prosecutors replayed Corkins' FBI interview, where he said his plan was to "kill as many people" as he could. They also showed Corkins buying the weapon days earlier, which just happened to be captured by French TV doing a story on guns.  “A security guard’s heroism is the only thing that prevented Floyd Corkins II from carrying out a mass shooting intended to kill as many people as possible,” said U.S. Attorney Ron Machen in a statement. “Our entire community is thankful to the hero who stood up to this heinous...

Homosexuality is morally protected behavior, judge rules in striking down Texas marriage amendment

Image
SAN ANTONIO, TX , February 26, 2014 – A federal judge ruled today that a Texas law and subsequent constitutional amendment protecting marriage as the union of a man and woman violates the U.S. Constitution , which upholds “the moral and sexual choices of homosexuals.” U.S. District Judge for Western Texas Orlando Luis Garcia said the laws had no “rational relation to a legitimate governmental purpose” but simply reflected the bigotry of the citizens of Texas. “[U.S.] Supreme Court precedent prohibits states from passing legislation born out of animosity against homosexuals, has extended constitutional protection to the moral and sexual choices of homosexuals, and prohibits the federal government from treating state-sanctioned opposite-sex marriages and same-sex marriages differently,” he wrote in his decision invalidating the amendment, as well as a 2003 law. Some 76 percent of Texas voters supported Proposition 2 in 2005, despite being outspent by more than a quarter...

New Mexico Supreme Court legalizes same-sex ‘marriage’

Image
ALBUQUERQUE , December 19, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The Supreme Court of New Mexico ruled that the state must recognize same-sex “marriages,” because a ban would violate a 1972 constitutional amendment banning discrimination "on account of the sex of any person." Justice Edward L. Chavez wrote that, due to homosexuals' special status as a minority community, “New Mexico may [not] constitutionally deny same-gender couples the right to marry...unless the proponents of the legislation — the opponents of same-gender marriage — prove that the discrimination caused by the legislation is 'substantially related to an important government interest.'” Chavez authored the  31-page decision  expressing the unanimous ruling of the five-member court. Justices rejected the notion that the government had a vested interest in the conception and raising of children. “Procreation has never been a condition of marriage under New Mexico law, as evidenced by the fact that ...

Sex and the City actress: homosexuality is a choice, angers gay community

Image
The gay community has expressed dissatisfaction with Nixon for suggesting that being gay is a choice. Nixon has made the comment twice, once in a speech and once in a New York Times interview, causing a backlash from the gay activists, who do not want homosexuality to be depicted as a choice. "I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line 'I've been straight and I've been gay, and gay is better," the actress told the New York Times. "And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a choice." Joy Behar , a co-host of the View, expressed confusion about the decision to be gay last year. "I don't know how to respond to that, I mean I don't think that anybody in this world wants to be gay, considering all of the vilification that is brought upon someone who is gay. Why would you choose that?" But Nixon questions why being gay shouldn't be a cho...

Supreme Court strikes down part of Defense of Marriage Act as ‘unconstitutional’

Image
 In a significant blow for traditional marriage in the United States, the country's Supreme Court has ruled this morning that a portion of the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional. At the same time, the court has declined to rule directly on the constitutionality of gay "marriage" itself, somewhat limiting the impact of the decision. A part of the Clinton-era DOMA that prohibited "married" homosexual couples from receiving federal benefits was struck down 5-4. The  majority decision  was authored by Justice Anthony Kennedy . He was joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg , Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. "DOMA singles out a class of persons deemed by a State entitled to recognition and protection to enhance their own liberty,” says the decision. "It imposes a disability on the class by refusing to acknowledge a status the State finds to be dignified and proper." “The federal statute is invalid," it continu...

DALLAS, Texas , May 30, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - At its annual shareholder meeting this week, the world's largest oil company,  ExxonMobil , rejected a proposal demanding changes to its Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) policy that would have granted special rights to homosexual employees. "Had the resolution passed, the company would have been forced to begin promoting and providing 'acceptance' training of homosexuality to all employees, even if they had religious objections," said Tim Wildmon , president of the  American Family Association . The proposal, voted down by 81 percent of ExxonMobil's shareholders on May 30 read, "The Shareholders request that ExxonMobil amend its written equal employment opportunity policy to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and to substantially implement the policy." This vote marks the 14th year in a row that the company has refused to cave in to th...

‘It’s the beginning of the end’: gay scout vote only first step in demise of scouting, say leaders

Image
Parents, scouting leaders and pastors are warning that yesterday’s  vote to allow openly gay youth to join the Boy Scouts of America (BSA)  is likely only the beginning of a much more fundamental transformation of the scouting organization. In a statement following the vote Jonathan Saenz, the president of Texas Values, the group behind the  Save Our Scouts  initiative, charged the BSA leadership with having “willingly opened the door to allow homosexual advocates to overrun an organization that stands for a code of morality that these intolerant advocates reject.”  “The BSA is a private organization, but it has chosen to place sex and politics above its timeless principles, and the BSA will ultimately fail because of this change,” he said. “We will next see aggressive attacks on any BSA units that dare to stand for God and religious liberty, as those that seek to change the BSA will not tolerate these current BSA principles, either.”  Tony Pe...

Scouting Leadership goes against 200,000 and 19,000 petition to allow homosexual boys into scouts

Image
History of the Boy Scouts of America (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The Boy Scouts of America's (BSA) National Council has voted in favor of a resolution to allow openly gay boys to join the organization .  Sixty percent of the 1400 delegates present at the Scouts annual meeting in Dallas, Texas voted in favor of the policy change. The resolution states that “no youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone.”  A ban on openly homosexual Scout leaders remains in place.   The change comes despite a survey by the BSA,  which found  that of 200,000 respondents, 61 percent supported the previous policy. In a statement announcing the vote, the scouting organization said that while “people have different opinions about this policy, we can all agree that kids are better off when they are in Scouting .”  Debate over the change has been contentious, with some predicting that t...
