GAY TRUTH

The new head of the Anglican Church in Uganda, Stephen Kazimba Mugalu, has spoken out against same-sex couples at his enthronement. The head of the Church of England and worldwide Anglican Christianity, Justin Welby, was there to support Kazimba as he was formally enthroned. And as the Archbishop of Uganda and Bishop of Kampala, Kazimba now has widespread influence. Around a third of the east African country’s citizens are members of the Church of Uganda. And the church is particularly influential in Uganda’s politics. Kazimba vowed the church will continue to insist marriage is between a man and woman and for procreation.  He added they would not be ‘pressured’ into accepting immoral homosexual couples: ‘The trend in the Western world and some Anglican churches in those contexts are being pressured into doing this, including our mother Church of England.  But for us in Uganda, as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. The Bible speak, and the culture speaks....

Val Kalende, a prominent activist for pro-homosexual causes in Uganda, has renounced her former lifestyle, which she now considers a sin. Kalende is a self-described “preacher’s kid” and journalist who left her career at the Ugandan newspaper Daily Monitor in 2007 to focus on LGBT activism, according to a 2015 Daily Xtra profile , going on to work with organizations such as Freedom and Roam Uganda, Sexual Minorities Uganda, and the Dignity Initiative. She left the country for Canada as a refugee in 2015, following the 2014 passage of legislation to criminalize homosexual behavior. “Val Kalende is here to stay,” declared the headline of the profile, which notes that she identified as “genderqueer” and preferred to be referenced with the pronoun “they.” On Tuesday, however, Edge reported that Kalende is a changed woman who is even getting married, announcing the news live on Uganda’s Salt TV . “I joined lesbianism right after Makerere University. I’m born of Christian parents. All of t...

An incredulous and outraged Christiane Amanpour warned Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday that “you’re going to get yourself into trouble,” following his strong repudiation of the LGBT political agenda in a CNN interview with the journalist. After Kenyatta made it clear to Amanpour that Kenyan society rejects homosexual behavior and has no interest in establishing “rights” for the practice of sodomy, Amanpour took off her glasses, and, shaking her head, began to scold Kenyatta. “You’re going to get yourself into trouble, because what you’ve categorically just stated is that this is not an issue for us, for the Kenyan people, and you don’t think that the idea of their privacy, their equality, their rights, is important!” Amanpour told Kenyatta. “This is a global issue right now.” Amanpour told Kenyatta that Kenya’s law prohibiting sodomy is a “holdover” from “colonial Victorian” law, and claimed that homosexuals “just want to have equal rights the same privacy an...

A federal district judge yesterday dismissed a leftist lawsuit against Christian pro-family advocate Scott Lively , who was  sued for “crimes against humanity”  for helping political and faith leaders in Uganda resist the LGBTQ agenda in the east African nation. Massachusetts District Judge Michael Ponsor, in a ruling laced with harsh pro-homosexual attacks on Lively, nevertheless dismissed the SMUG ( Sexual Minorities Uganda ) LGBT lawsuit against Lively — five years after it was filed with the help of the far-left Center for Constitutional Rights ( CCR ). Ponsor cited a 2013 (unanimous) U.S. Supreme Court   ruling  that the Alien Tort Statute did not apply to international claims as the reason for dismissing the lawsuit. The Christian-defense legal group assisting Lively,  Liberty Counsel , heralded the ruling but chastised Ponsor for failing to dismiss the case earlier and for lacing his decision with extremist, pro-LGBT rhetoric demonizing L...

KAMPALA, Uganda.  Though their courage in the face of certain and horrible death was exemplary, the reason why Uganda’s 45 young male martyrs were burned to death by King Mwanga II on June 3 191 years ago has fallen behind a veil of silence that enshrouds even the Christian news media, as a story in  Christianity Today  this month shows. The silence, according to defenders of the natural family and Christian sexual morality, reflects the success of homosexual activists in driving all criticism of same-sex relations from public discourse. “Across the Western media, and it is creeping even into Christian media, homosexual violence is all off limits,” said Scott Lively, the outspoken Evangelical pastor and defender of the natural family and Christian values who has been blamed for exporting American-style homophobia to Uganda. When Pope Francis visited the shrine to the 22 Catholic martyrs in January, the mass he celebrated was covered by mainstream and Catholic ...

Sodom and Gomorrha, Alte Pinakothek, Room 23 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) To understand how the destruction of Sodom was interpreted later, we must turn to Ezekiel ’s reference. According to the revisionist view, Ezekiel 16 lists the sins of Sodom categorically and finds them less serious than the sexual sins of Jerusalem . Revisionists point to verses 48–49. There, they say, we find that Sodom’s sins were pride, gluttony, idleness, and neglect (or, according to Edwards, oppression) of the poor and needy.68 The passage does not mention homosexuality. However, Boswell and Bailey and others interpret these two verses incorrectly because they fail to consider their context, especially verse 50.69 In the passage, Ezekiel compares Jerusalem with her two sisters, the elder Samaria and the younger Sodom. He finds that Jerusalem, is worse than either of the others (note 16:47–52). Sodom obviously is a figurative term here, probably a reference to Judah as a whole.70 Ezekiel 16:2 sets forth ...

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...

Countries using the Euro de jure Countries and territories using the Euro de facto Countries in the EU not using the Euro (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) April 4, 2014 ( C-FAM ) - European pressure on African nations to change laws on homosexuality has created a backlash that may threaten this week's meeting between leaders of the two continents European officials have been scrambling to appease African leaders ahead of this week’s summit of EU and African leaders in Brussels . The summit is meant to address a host of issues on which the EU and Africa cooperate. Homosexuality is not one of them. African governments reacted negatively when the European Parliament passed a resolution last month threatening sanctions on countries that punish homosexual acts. The resolution was a response to Uganda and Nigeria toughening sodomy laws and outlawing the promotion of homosexuality and same-sex marriage. The European Parliament asked that the governments of Uganda and Nigeria no l...
