GAY TRUTH

All he wanted to do was protect his son from being indoctrinated with LGBTQ+ ideology… …but his son's school district refused to honor all of his opt-out requests. Konstantin Averkiev is a Christian with sincere religious beliefs about sex, gender, and marriage. So he's raising his young son with those same beliefs. Knowing that his son could be exposed to lessons that contradict those beliefs at school, Konstantin asked his son's teacher for advance notice about any LGBTQ+ instruction so he could opt his son out of those lessons. The teacher agreed— but then his son was subjected to a Pride Month lesson that discussed "gender change" surgery anyway. When Konstantin notified the school, officials ignored him . Then his school district turned down most of his requests to opt out of LGBTQ+-related instruction and requirements. Now his son could be subjected to LGBTQ+-related counseling sessions, compelled use of "preferred pronouns," and sharing intimate ...

Dr Jennifer Roback Morse suggests that there are two principal reasons why people want to keep the 'Born This Way' myth alive. In a recently released video, Dr Morse looks at the science proving that homosexuality is not fixed and unchanging and suggests reasons why people find the “born this way” myth so attractive. One compelling piece of evidence was the largest-ever genetic study published in 2017. There was something researchers simply did not find. “There is no ‘gay gene,'” Morse revealed. “None.” She reported that the lead author of this study told The New York Times that it “is basically impossible to predict a person’s sexual activity or orientation just from genetics.” Also, identical twin studies show that the “concordance rate” for homosexuality is only 30%, even though identical twins share almost 100% of their DNA. Morse showcased a clip from a presentation by a same-sex attracted expert, Dr Lisa Diamond, who explains that “sexual attraction shows a fair amoun...

  Objection Stated Paul does not identify homosexuality, which is indeed mentioned in Romans 1:26–27, as sin . This seems to be the thrust of L. William Countryman when he writes, “The idea that Paul was labelling homosexual acts as sinful can be upheld only if one can show that he used other terms here with an equivalent meaning.” 8   And in a public debate, this was ACLU board member and head of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State Barry Lynn’s common refrain when dealing with Romans 1, that Paul specifically avoided saying homosexuality was a sin. 9 Biblical Response This revisionist attempt is surely one of the weakest offered, for it requires us to believe all of the following propositions: first, that in the midst of demonstrating the awful sinfulness of idolatry and its punishment, Paul would insert a sentence where he switches subjects to something that, while possibly “unusual” in a social sense, is not actually sinful; second, that the context is t...

Objection Stated Paul is only speaking of pederasty here, not of adult homosexual relationships, and hence the passage is misused when applied to homosexuality . This is the viewpoint expressed by Robin Scroggs in his work The New Testament and Homosexuality . 6 It is commonly repeated in liberal theological institutions. Biblical Response The exegesis of the passage has already addressed this common error. Paul speaks of “males with males committing indecent acts.” He does not say “men with boys” (and there are appropriate Greek words that Paul could have employed if he meant to communicate this idea), nor does the text give the slightest hint that this should be read into it as an assumption.  The desire expressed is mutual between both the lesbians of 1:26 and the homosexual males of 1:27; that is, there is no evidence whatsoever that this is written in reference to pederastic relation ships. Indeed, the mutual kind of desire seen in these verses utterly refutes the simplistic ...

  Objection Stated The Apostle Paul did not know about “inversion” and mutuality, and hence this passage does not have relevance today. Biblical Response There are two things to be noted in response to this assertion—an assertion that is, truly, at the bottom of almost every argument on the part of revisionists. The first is the unspoken, but foundational, assumption that the Scriptures are limited in their capacity and hence authority to the knowledge and experience of the human authors by which they were delivered to us.  The second is more overt: Paul did not know about “inversion” or the allegedly “natural” occurrence of homosexuality. Let’s begin with the second objection. Paul came from Tarsus, a major city in the Roman Empire. He was well trained, a learned man, familiar with Roman and Greek culture. He was obviously widely read in the literature of the day as well.  Therefore, the assumption that he did not know of people who professed to be homosexual as their pr...

  Objection Stated What is “natural” in Romans 1 is not what is “natural” in the sense of “natural law,” but what is “natural to me.” The reference is not to homosexuals but to heterosexuals who go beyond their natural bounds and engage in homosexuality . Thus John Boswell writes, On the other hand, it should be recognised that the point of the passage is not to stigmatise sexual behaviour of any sort but to condemn the Gentiles for their general infidelity.… The reference to homosexuality is simply a mundane analogy to this theological sin; it is patently not the crux of this argument.… What is even more important, the persons Paul condemns are manifestly not homosexual: what he derogates are homosexual acts committed by apparently heterosexual persons.  The whole point of Romans 1, in fact, is to stigmatise persons who have rejected their calling, gotten off the true path they were once on. It would completely undermine the thrust of the argument if the persons in question w...

  FATHERLESS GENERATION EXPERIMENT MADE BY A HEALTH DEPARTMENT  Queensland Health has updated fertility clinic guidance which previously classified lesbian couples as separate families. In the eyes of many, this remains and should remain as the definition. True families consist of a male and a female.  The previous guidelines, which were released earlier this year, had caused disruption to the treatment of several couples. LBBTQ  Advocates have welcomed the change as a "real victory". But in the end, these kids end up without a father; not really, a victory at all. The guidance had disrupted the fertility treatments of several lesbian couples, as well as a woman who had to seek government permission to use her own embryos. The issue arose in February when Queensland Health issued new guidance to fertility providers to help them navigate the state's assisted reproductive technology (ART) legislation. The state's definition of family is faulty. The   ( Supplied: ...

COLOGNE, Germany  — A petition has been launched protesting the sentencing of Fr. Dariusz Oko for his work exposing sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. On Friday, Fr. Oko, a Polish professor, and 90-year-old German professor Fr. Johannes Stöhr will go to trial in Cologne for their work exposing homosexual abuse in the Catholic Church. A petition has been launched to revoke the sentence.  In 2021, the Cologne District Court claimed that Fr. Oko’s article titled “On the need to curb homosexual cliques in the Church” constituted “incitement to hatred” against homosexuals. According to Polish magazine Wprost , the court demanded that Fr. Oko pay a fine of 4,800 euros or serve 120 days in jail. Fr. Johannes Stöhr, the editor-in-chief of  Theologisches , reportedly was charged as well. An expert on gays in the priesthood, Fr. Oko is a Polish priest and professor of theology at the John Paul II Pontifical University in Krakow. He wrote a work “about the need to limit homosexual c...

States, scholars, lawmakers, and activists have filed a dozen amicus briefs with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, urging it to maintain an injunction against the state of California’s efforts to exclude parents from school decisions to “socially transition” their gender-confused children. Back in 2023, U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez sided with Christian teachers Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori Ann West in their lawsuit against Escondido Union School District, which was trying to force teachers to withhold from parents signs that a child is suffering from gender dysphoria. The policy created a “trifecta of harm” that “harms the child who needs parental guidance and possibly mental health intervention,” the judge found at the time. Later that month, however, California Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a guidance directing school districts to disregard that ruling, as it only applied to those specific teachers in that specific district, along with a similar ruling by a lower court i...

The topic of a Christian understanding of homosexuality and a Christian and pastoral response to homosexuality is related in some ways to a Christian view of singleness.  There is a need, particularly among Protestant Christians, to revisit our view of singleness and how we communicate what we value in the local church.  If most of our programming is geared toward marriages and families in ways that communicate a devaluing of the single state, we will (perhaps unintentionally) convey to the person who contends with same-sex attractions that they must attain heterosexuality to find a spiritual home in the body of Christ. Recent scholarship on a Christian understanding of singleness suggests that marriage alone cannot convey all that there is to know and experience of God’s nature. Lisa McMinn illustrates this well: The fullness of God’s nature cannot be captured in one human who bears God’s image, in marriage as a model of God’s love for the Church, or in one of Christianity’s...

Is homosexuality freedom or a broken, binding life? Unquestionably, homosexuality has become a major issue in the world today. The openness and political clout of the homosexual movement have dramatically increased in recent years.  In former times, it was not talked about openly; if it was, the movement and people were often derided. Today homosexuals as a group have considerable leverage, and any slight against them is met with an immediate and forceful response.  Remember some of the words that were used to describe homosexuals in days past? For example, although the dictionary still gives “homosexual” as a meaning of the word queer, one would dare not use that word today in public. Gay is the “in” word now. “Gay rights” are asserted in many arenas, and “gay pride” parades occur in many cities annually. Until 1973, homosexuality was on the American Psychiatric Association’s list of mental disorders, but it was removed that year. Defenders of the movement tell us that homo...
