Commonsense pushing back LGBT ideology

Gay rights advocates in Oklahoma are launching a campaign to stop a bill they say will codify the ability of religious-based adoption agencies to discriminate against same-sex couples seeking to adopt. Like all LGBT groups they must silence and dominate any and all opposition. They will use the courts, verbal threats, verbal abuse and mockery to achieve their sinful, immoral, broken lifestyle homosexual dominance. Freedom Oklahoma Executive Director Troy Stevenson said Monday the bill is unnecessary and would deny children the right to a loving family. But this is less than truthful as gay families do not give children a mother and a father but a perverted version of a family. They use the word 'loving family' but it is a distorted love. Senate Bill 1140 is being well promoted by faith-based groups including the Catholic Conference of Oklahoma and the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma .

A federal judge has overturned Mississippi 's ban on same-sex adoptions , in a preliminary injunction issued on Thursday. According to The Associated Press , Judge Daniel Jordan ordered the head of the state's Department of Human Services to stop enforcing the ban. In his ruling, Jordan cited the U.S. Supreme Court's decision that legally redefined marriage. "It ... seems highly unlikely that the same court that held a state cannot ban gay marriage because it would deny benefits — expressly including the right to adopt — would then conclude that married gay couples can be denied that very same benefit," he wrote. A spokesperson for Mississippi's Attorney General told the AP that "the district court did direct the Department of Human Services not to discriminate between same-sex and opposite-sex couples in adoption related services provided by that agency. We respect the district court's analysis of the law and will consult with the Departmen...
