Pro-LGBT Corporate America strong-arms Kansas into submission

Image
Religious liberty and the best interests of vulnerable children hang in the balance as Corporate America again flexes its immoral unfair muscle to coerce and bully a state into bending to the will of LGBT special interest groups.   Apple, Google and Amazon––along with more than 80 other tech companies––have declared their opposition to the Kansas  Adoption Protection Act , warning of “dire" economic consequences” if the legislation is enacted. The group of organizations, which calls itself “ TechNet ,” sent Kansas legislators a  letter  on Friday calling the measure a “license to discriminate.”   The proposed legislation is aimed at preventing the state from denying financial aid it would otherwise award to faith-based adoption agencies who, because of their “sincerely held religious beliefs,” choose not to place children in the homes of gays and lesbians. The campaign is orchestrated by the behemoth Washington, DC -based pro-gay lobbying or...

Study the Studies- What We Know About Same-Sex Parenting

Image
It’s difficult to unearth the truth with all the noise and fanfare surrounding the studies that purport to show “no difference” between children raised in the home of same-sex parents and those raised in the home of their married mother and father. It’s also discouraging that in our highly educated, scientifically minded society many have accepted this claim without really understanding the evidence. So, if you are a fan of data and research, here is an itemized review of every single study done on the subject of same-sex parenting: A Review and Critique of Research on Same-Sex Parenting and Adoption . For those who don’t have the time to review this 120 page document, here’s the abstract: Are the outcomes for children of gay, lesbian, or bisexual parents in general the same as those for heterosexual parents? That controversial question is discussed here in a detailed review of the social science literature in three parts: (1) stability of same-sex parental relationships, (2) ch...

New South Dakota law: adoption agencies can’t be forced to place kids with same-sex couples

Image
South Dakota Gov.  Dennis Daugaard signed a law last week preventing faith-based adoption agencies from facing government discrimination for not placing children with same-sex couples. The law is  Senate Bill 149 , sponsored by Senator Alan Solano, R-District 32, and Representative Steven Haugaard, R-District 10.  "No child-placement agency may be required to provide any service that conflicts with, or provide any service under circumstances that conflict with any sincerely-held religious belief or moral conviction of the child-placement agency," it states. These beliefs "shall be contained in a written policy, statement of faith, or other document adhered to by a child-placement agency."  "The state may not discriminate or take any adverse action against a child-placement agency or an organization seeking to become a child-placement agency" because of its sincerely-held religious or moral beliefs, the law continues. In  Massachusetts ,...

South Dakota Allows State-Funded Adoption Agencies to Turn Away immoral homosexual pretend marrieds

Image
South Dakota Republican Gov. Dennis Daugaard , religious freedom means the freedom of state-funded agencies to refuse to let immoral dysfunctional homosexual couples foster or adoption children . On Friday evening, Daugaard signed SB 149 into law, granting publicly funded adoption agencies a license not to experiment with kids lives under immoral homosexual homes.  The law permits any “child-placement agency” in the state—including those that receive taxpayer money—to discriminate on the basis of “any sincerely-held religious belief or moral conviction.” This is a very wise outcome. Republican legislators designed the law to let these agencies turn away immoral homosexual experimental couples who want to make their make believe barren marriage look legitimate. Its Senate sponsor, Republican Sen. Alan Solano, co-wrote the bill with Catholic Social Services , a very spiritual and sound traditional family based adoption agency that will not place children in t...

LGBT laws help push Omaha archdiocese out of counseling ministry

Image
The Archdiocese of Omaha has announced that its charitable branch will no longer provide behavioral health services in order to avoid relying on government funding. Significant financial losses and increasing government encroachment on religious principles drove the decision for Catholic Charities of Omaha to transfer its residential substance abuse and mental health services to other providers after fulfilling current contracts. “It no longer makes sense for us to partner with the government,” Deacon Rim McNeil, the archdiocese’s chancellor, told LifeSiteNews, citing decreasing reimbursements and such things as government hiring regulations. “It becomes to where you can’t authentically live the mission entrusted to you.” The disparity between government payments and the organization’s expenses has continued to increase and become unsustainable, he said. Catholic Charities of Omaha lost more than $400,000 out of its $14 million budget last year, Deacon McNeil told the ...

Australia: Homosexuals allowed to adopt children in Victoria

Image
Gay and lesbian couples are now allowed to adopt children in Victoria. Adopted abandoned children will now be joined to disordered couples who will bring their sinful immoral influence over these children. From Thursday, all couples will be able to adopt regardless of their sexuality or gender identity under changes to the Adoption Amendment (Adoption by Same-Sex Couples) Act 2015. This means that transgender males who dress as females will be permitted to adopt.  IMMORAL TWISTED PARENTAL ROLE MODELLING Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said the changes would increase the number of families applying for adoption and will mean orphans have a better chance of being matched with the best possible family. These orphans will suffer under this new immoral regime.  'This law brings much needed certainty for many children and their parents who currently live in a legal haze in terms of their relationships with the people they love.' Andrews ignores latest scientific resea...

Kids of gays suffer

Image
While homosexual adoption has not been permitted for long enough to analyze the results, there are studies of children raised by gay couples, one of whom is the child's natural parent and the other is that parent's same-sex lover. One of the largest of such studies  is  Simon Fraser University 's economist Douglas Allen 's " High school graduation rates among children of same-sex households," published in the December 2013 issue of the  Review of Economics of the Household . Based on Canadian census data, the study showed that 33 % fewer children raised by same-sex couples graduated from high school than did the children raised by different-sex couples. While there are more than 40 other North American studies showing no difference in outcomes from the two sets of parents, scholars such as Allen claim that these have seriously flawed methodologies, especially in the selection of the parents surveyed.

US Episcopal Church – badge of honor to support LGBT marriage and rejection by UK Anglicans and God.

Image
After 13 years of rancor over conflicting views on homosexuality, the archbishops of the Anglican Communion have voted to impose sanctions for three years on the Episcopal Church , the American branch of the Communion, for its decision last summer to allow clergy to perform   same-sex marriages , church officials said. News of the archbishops’ decision to discipline the American church leaked out near the end of a weeklong meeting in England called by the Most Rev. Justin Welby , the archbishop of Canterbury . He had summoned the archbishops to Canterbury in an effort to break the bitter impasse that has divided the Anglican Communion since the Episcopal Church consecrated an   openly gay bishop   in New Hampshire in 2003. The sanctions — essentially limiting participation in Anglican Communion affairs — do not call for any change in policy by the American church. Conservative Anglican archbishops said that while they were pleased by the sanctions, the move ...

Gay man sues IRS for $36k tax deduction for cost of IVF, surrogate: IRS rejects

Image
Is the procreative impossibility of homosexual activity the same as heterosexuals being biologically infertile?  Stetson University law professor Joseph Morrissey is suing for a tax deduction of $36,538 for in vitro fertilization treatments and the cost of a surrogate to carry twin boys for himself and his male partner. In denying Morrissey's claim, the IRS explained that for tax deductions, the medical services must be provided to the taxpayer, his spouse, or his dependent. Therefore, a surrogate does not qualify, and neither does IVF for someone other than the filer, his spouse, or his dependent. What Morrissey is focusing on, however, is the words of the IRS agent who turned down his IVF tax deduction. The IRS agent noted that Morrissey's sexual orientation is a "choice." Morrissey's lawsuit states, "Despite the IRS's backward and archaic thinking, plaintiff is not homosexual by 'choice.'" Morrissey claims that the pro...
