GAY TRUTH

The family of famed child singer Jackie Evancho  are planning to sue their school district because they have separate bathrooms for boys and girls. They are launching the suit on behalf of Jackie's brother Jacob, who believes he is "transgender" and calls himself "Juliet." Gay activist group Lambda Legal of New York City announced it will sue Pine-Richland School District on behalf of the Evancho family for requiring students to use the facilities of their biological gender or a "unisex" bathroom .  The school district passed the separate-gender resolution on September 12 by a 5-4 vote. Notes from the school board meeting detail the majority's "support to return to the long-standing practice of providing sex-specific facility usage. All students will have the choice of using either the facilities that correspond to their biological sex or unisex facilities." Previous district meetings failed to pass either a biological...

When a new North Carolina law limiting protections for LGBT people drew fire last spring from critics who described it as an unnecessary “bathroom bill” that violates the rights of transgender people, the state sued the federal government. Gov. Pat McCrory dropped that lawsuit Friday, but the matter is far from settled, as a debate over the rights of transgender Americans rages nationwide. On the same day that North Carolina sued the federal government, the federal government sued North Carolina, alleging its new law, House Bill 2 , constitutes sex-based discrimination in education and employment in violation of three federal laws. That case, filed by the US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, remains active . In dropping the state’s lawsuit, Gov. McCrory’s attorneys noted that the arguments North Carolina raised as plaintiff will be raised again as defendant in the DOJ’s suit. They cited cost-savings for the state and time-savings for the court as reasons to drop the ...

Brian Coldwell, a Baptist pastor and chairman of a Christian school board, has told the provincial government that his two small schools will not allow gay straight alliance clubs for homosexuals or permit transgender students to use the washrooms of the opposite sex. Those are the two most controversial components of the New Democratic government’s policy to combat bullying of sexual minorities in provincial schools. When the Edmonton Catholic school board balked at these, Education Minister David Eggen appointed a consultant to bring them into line. But Coldwell told the CBC, “I'm not going to allow the minister of education to appoint anyone to come in here. He does not have that dictatorial power.” Coldwell told LifeSiteNews on Wednesday, “Minister Eggen says school boards have to obey the law. Well, the government of Alberta has to obey the law too. He needs to respect the Charter of Rights and Freedoms where it says religion is one of the fundamental freedoms.” ...

Northern Territory chief minister says he supports anti-bullying parts of program but not ‘grooming kids in their sexuality’ The Northern Territory chief minister, Adam Giles, has gone back on an earlier commitment to enact the Safe Schools program, saying he supported the anti-bullying measures but not those which groomed children’s sexuality. Giles had been addressing a people’s forum debate before Saturday’s election , which largely focused on how Territorians could trust either party to govern. Giles said a CLP government would not introduce the Safe Schools anti-bullying program , but at an untelevised debate organised by the NT council of social services (NTCoss) last week he and opposition leader Michael Gunner had both said they would.

President Barack Obama’s transgender-boosting administration “fails to grasp the serious privacy and public safety problems” caused by its effort to prohibit single-sex bathrooms and to urge individuals to decide which of the two sexes’ private bathrooms they desire to use at any given moment, says a legal brief prepared by North Carolina. North Carolina and its GOP governor, Pat McCrory, have filed the brief in United States District Court to answer the Obama administration’s lawsuit against the state’s privacy-protecting ‘HB2’ law, properly called the “Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act.” The Obama administration claims the law, passed in March, violates the civil rights of gay and transgender individuals. The State argues in its brief : As the Act’s text and legislative history make clear, the General Assembly was focused – not on disparaging transgender individuals – but rather on a commonsense concern for preserving everyone’s privacy and safety in intimate settings ...

A school in the Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB) appears to be more concerned about playing the part of a “positive and respectful community” on "transgender issues" than following Catholic teaching, according to an exchange of emails between a principal and teachers obtained through a Freedom of Information request.  The information reveals that during the 2015 school year, the principal of St. Michael School, Corkery — located near Carp, Ontario — sent an email to OCSB superintendent Stephen McCabe and communications director Mardi de Kemp highlighting a link to an interview mentioning the OCSB given by a mom who has a biological boy who attends an OCSB school dressed like a girl.  “I think we appear to be shown as a positive and respectful community,” writes Principal Martha Palmer in the Sept. 12 email.  The interview referred to was conducted by the Ottawa pop radio station Hot 89.9. The station has used its public platform to mainstream the sexual rev...

An African-American pastor who stood up for bathroom privacy says he has been attacked personally and professionally by gay activists determined to crush his business and turn his life into “chaos.” Bishop Kenneth Adkins, overseer at Greater Dimensions Christian Fellowship in Brunswick, Georgia, publicly opposed a Jacksonville city ordinance that would allow biological men to use women's bathrooms. At one point, he posted a picture of himself with a wig on Facebook and threatened to demonstrate against the transgender ordinance in drag. He said the citizens of Jacksonville should vote on whether to expand the city's Human Rights Ordinance rather than leaving the decision with city council members. At the third and final public hearing on the city ordinance in December, Adkins received applause when he   said , “We live in a time that Christians need a law passed to protect them. It’s crazy because we can no longer say what we believe.” The Jacksonville City Counci...

Across the USA the gender-bending ideology of the Obama administration and LGBT extremists is being imposed by government bureaucrats without regard to the safety or privacy of girls and women. In Washington state, there is a chance to do something to stop it, but only if we act immediately to help with an urgent appeal. Washington state's grossly mis-named and unelected Human Rights Commission took the horrendous step of passing a rule that opened all of the state's public locker rooms, bathrooms, and other intimate facilities to men simply based on them claiming a female 'gender identity.' It applies to every public school, park, ball field and public building. In Washington State 75% of those polled agree men do not belong in intimate facilities reserved for girls and women such as locker and changing rooms or bathrooms and showers. If we can get the measure on the ballot, we have an excellent chance to repeal this dangerous rule. Our children deserve to have ...
