The kiss occurred during Hartford Public High School ’s production of “ Zanna, Don’t !,” a play depicting a world in which homosexuality is normative and heterosexuals take up the role of “outcasts.” The Hartford Courant   reported  that “screams and loud voices” and sounds of disgust came from the audience during the display of aff Image via Wikipedia ection, while “dozens” of mostly male students left the auditorium.

Romney dodges question about homosexual adoption in CNN interview

Image
In response to a question by CNN ’s Wolf Blitzer about whether he thought it was “good” that homosexuals are able to adopt children during an intervi Image via Wikipedia ew last week, Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney repeatedly dodged the question,  responding  only, “I’m not going to change that.” Romney has  previously said  that homosexuals have a “legitimate interest” in adoptions. During the CNN interview, he also said that he believes homosexual adoption should be decided on a state-by-state basis. As the interview progressed, Romney expressed his belief that “marriage” should be a term reserved for men and women, but added that if people “enter into contracts with one another that are between same-sex individuals, they’re free to do so.” “Look, if two people of the same gender want to live together and enter into a contract with each other, so be it,” he continued. “But don’t pretend that it’s marriage. And society, as a whole, will benefit by ha...

Homosexuality debate with a pastor

Image
Image via Wikipedia Host:  You are a Christian pastor, and you say you believe the Bible, which means you are supposed to love all people. Pastor:  That’s right. Host:  But it appears to me that you and your church take a rather unloving position when it comes to gay people . Are homosexuals welcome to come to your church? Pastor:  Of course. We believe that the gospel is a message relevant for every person on the planet, and we want everyone to hear the gospel and find salvation in Jesus Christ . So at our church, our arms are outstretched to people from every background, every race, every ethnicity and culture. We’re a place for all kinds of sinners and people with all kinds of problems. Host:  But you said there, “We’re a place for sinners.” So you do believe that homosexuality is sinful, right? Pastor:  Yes, I do. Host:  So how do you reconcile the command to love all people with a position on homosexuality that some would say is radically intole...

Image via Wikipedia When  Will & Grace  debuted in 1998, few could have imagined that scarcely a decade later, same-sex marriage would be regarded by many Americans as a constitutional right. Catholic Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York was no alarmist when he worried aloud that the next step in the marriage debate would be another redefinition to allow polygamy and infidelity. How did we get to this point? It began with making what was once marginalized and tolerated seem normal and mainstream by calling into question the very idea of norms. Pop culture excels at perpetuating this kind of relativism: gay characters were depicted as interchangeable with, if not superior to, their heterosexual counterparts. The message was clear: Only a bigot would make a fuss over homosexual behavior. This approach, while effective, was too slow for some activists. That led to the second part of the "how": the legal strategy. This strategy built on the foundation laid by abortion-right...

Well, last Thursday the four Republican senators who pushed same-sex marriage through in New York this summer were doing a money dance of their own – dancing with wealthy contributors like Michael Bloomberg and Tim Gill , who purchased their allegiance during the recent legislative session. These four senators reportedly raised well over a million dollars in a single night – in their quest for wedding cash purchased at the expense of their values and promises made to New York voters.

Teacher under investigation for criticizing homosexuality on Facebook page
