GAY TRUTH

Pastor Joel Hunter recently hosted a pro-LGBT event, “Elevating the Dialogue on LGBTQ Inclusion and Understanding in the Church,” with the overt message to “affirm” LGBTQ in and around Orlando. The pastor of Joy Metropolitan Church (homosexual church - though not really a church but just apostate church) who is in a same-sex relationship, and the founding pastor of The Impact Church of Orlando joined Hunter to discuss how liberal non- Bible believing apostate Christians can work to make Orlando churches supportive of the LGBTQ lifestyle, regardless of their churches’ theological positions on marriage and sexuality. The purpose of the event is to distort the Bible and change theology in order to affirm a LGBTQ lifestyle as normative. Attendees were asked to fill out a survey regarding their personal sexual lifestyle choices and their views about LGBT inclusion in the church. The discussions were organized by The Reformation Project (TRP), a so-called “Bible-based, Christian grass...

While gay "marriage" activists claimed that the Supreme Court's marriage decision wouldn't open the door to polygamy , five people from the show " Sister Wives " want the 10th Circuit Court to disagree. "This case is about criminalization of consensual relations and there are 21st century cases rather than 19th century cases," said attorney Jonathan Turley in a filing. "It is clear that states can no longer use criminal codes to coerce or punish those who choose to live in consensual but unpopular unions." In a case that was filed in 2011, "Sister Wives" star Kody Brown and his four "wives" have argued that Utah's ban on polygamy violates their civil rights. The five adults and their 17 children moved to Las Vegas after the launch of "Sister Wives" because they faced prosecution in Utah. Utah lost the case at a federal court   last year, and appealed to the 10th Circuit Court. Brown isn...

Motivated by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing homosexual “marriage,” a Montana polygamist has filed for a second marriage license, so he can be legally wed to two women at once. "It's about marriage equality," said Nathan Collier, using homosexual advocates’ term to support marriage redefinition. "You can't have this without polygamy." Collier, who has has appeared on the TLC reality show Sister Wives with his legal wife Victoria, and his second wife Christine, said he was inspired by the dissent in the Supreme Court decision. The minority Supreme Court justices said in Friday’s ruling it would open the door to both polygamy and religious persecution. “It is striking how much of the majority’s reasoning would apply with equal force to the claim of a fundamental right to plural marriage,” wrote Chief Justice John Roberts . Collier and his wives applied for a second marriage license earlier this week at the Yellowstone County Courthouse in B...

English: West face of the United States Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C. Español: Edificio de la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos en Washington, D.C. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) America’s so-called “ red states ” and “blue states” may have very different views about whether same-sex “marriage” should be legal, but there’s one thing a majority have agreed upon: The Supreme Court needs to make a ruling on the issue, and soon. Citing the “morass” brought about by dozens of conflicting court decisions at both the state and federal level regarding the legality of marriage protection laws – which define marriage as a union between one man and one woman – seventeen states with such laws have signed on to a court filing asking the Supreme Court to review two federal circuit court rulings overturning  Oklahoma’s  and  Utah’s  bans on same-sex “marriage.” Colorado , which is currently fighting its own battle with the 10 th  Circuit to save its marriage...

U.S. Supreme Court building. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously today that the state of Virginia does not have to begin sanctioning same-sex “marriages.” The stay comes after a panel of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 to  strike down the state's constitutional marriage protection amendment . The appeals court refused to grant a stay until the Supreme Court decided the case, a decision that would have forced Virginia clerks to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples  starting this week . However, one such clerk, Michele B. McQuigg , petitioned Chief Justice John Roberts to grant a stay. The order was allowed without dissent. “This is another indication that the rush to judgment declaring marriage to be unconstitutional is not only premature, but incorrect,” said Brian Brown, president of the  National Organization for Marriage . “The U.S. Supreme Court has determined that states have the right to de...

Today the  10th Circuit Court of Appeals issued an important ruling  on Utah ’s marriage amendment. This is the first time a circuit court has ruled on marriage since the  U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)  this time last year. In a 2-1 split decision, the 10th circuit ruled that Utah’s marriage amendment defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman violates the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution . The majority held that “the Fourteenth Amendment protects the fundamental right to marry” and that “a state may not deny the issuance of a marriage license to two persons, or refuse to recognize their marriage, based solely upon the sex of the persons in the marriage union.” The decision will almost certainly be appealed. Of course the Fourteenth Amendment protects the fundamental right to marry—but the  Supreme Court decisions that established a fundamental right to marry  understood ...

Colorado 's high-tension marriage debate hit a new peak this week, as three county clerks and a county judge ignored state law defining marriage as between a man and a woman. On Wednesday, Boulder District Judge Andrew Hartman  ruled  that Boulder Colorado Clerk Hillary Hall could continue to give marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Hall has been giving out licenses to same-sex couples  since June 25 . The Denver and Pueblo County Clerks joined Hall in handing out the marriage licenses after Hartman's ruling. County clerk Hillary Hall has been giving out licenses to same-sex couples since June 25, and refuses to stop. Youtube screenshot Hall began handing out the licenses after the 10th Circuit Court ruled that a state marriage amendment in nearby Utah was unconstitutional. However, that ruling was given a stay by the same court. Utah has already appealed the decision, and the case is expected to be heard by either the full 10th Circuit Court or the U.S. Sup...

Mike Pence, member of the United States Congress. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) All but one of the same-sex “ marriages ” performed in Indiana in a 72-hour gap where they were temporarily permitted in the state will be treated as invalid by the state per an order from Republican Governor Mike Pence . The “marriage” ceremonies took place in the interval between a lower court ruling declaring the state’s ban on gay nuptials unconstitutional, and a subsequent circuit court ruling ordering the ban reinstated pending appeal. Gov. Pence issued the order in a memorandum (PDF) on Monday, explaining that the upper court’s order means that at least for now, state law still defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. As such, the state cannot offer marital benefits to same-sex couples. “I appreciate the confusion that has been created by different federal court decisions, but as governor I have to see to it that the state operates in a manner consistent with Indiana law,” Pence s...

TALLAHASSEE, FL , May 6, 2014 – A former JAG officer attempted to intervene in two state cases to overturn traditional marriage laws, saying if homosexuals can marry their true love, he should have that right, too. In his case, the Florida man says he wants to marry his “porn-filled Apple computer.” Two federal judges have rejected his request to become part of ongoing litigation aimed at overturning both Florida and Utah’s bans on same-sex “marriage.” Chris Sevier, 37, an Iraq veteran who previously served as a JAG officer in the Tennessee Army National Guard ,  argued in his Florida filing  that “If gay people have the right to marry their object of sexual desire, even if they lack corresponding sexual parts, then I should have the right to marry my preferred sexual object," namely, his laptop computer, which he uses to access pornography. In his filing in  the Utah case , Sevier dared the 10 th  Circuit Court of Appeals to, “Put up or shut up” regard...
