GAY TRUTH

LONDON , January 30, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Promises of “safeguards” for churches in the UK’s proposed gay “marriage” law are empty and unenforceable, given the UK’s Equalities law and connections to the European Union , according to a top legal expert. According to Aidan O’Neill QC, wording in the bill, scheduled to go to the vote on February 5 th , that he government claims makes it illegal for the Church of England and Church in Wales (Anglican) to conduct same-sex “weddings” is “eminently challenge-able”. O’Neill has told the government that the wording is in fact illegal, and will be overturned straight out of the gate. Aiden O'Neill The comments come in response to a blog post by Maria Milller, the Culture Minister who introduced the bill on Friday, in which she said, “I have always been crystal clear that I simply will not introduce any new law that does not provide protection for all religious organisations and individual ministers of religion. “Our Bill ...

Renaming gay marriage as "sarriage" would end divisions over marriage equality , Parliament has been told in a quirky submission on marriage equality legislation. The Government administration committee heard a mix of views today, including from Russell Morrison, who is concerned the bill will give the word "marriage" more than one meaning. "There are already too many words in our language with multiple meanings and I don't believe that we should be adding to that situation," he said. He says the words " marry " and "marriage" are understood to refer to a man and a woman, so he's come up with his own solution to avoid any confusion: "sarry" and "sarriage". "Then a person can be asked whether he or she is married or sarried, and the response will make the situation clear for everybody." Mr Morrison said MPs may have already dismissed it as a "crackpot idea", perhaps because they don'...

We have seen, time and time again, that wherever marriage is redefined, the rights of religious individuals and institutions are put in jeopardy by government fiat . There is no middle ground — either our rights are respected, or they are threatened and eradicated. When marriage is redefined, people like you and me who believe that it takes a man and a woman to make a marriage are treated under the law as the functional equivalent of racists and bigots.

TRIESTE, January 28, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Earlier this month about two hundred homosexualist activists, including a number of local politicians, demonstrated in front of the residence and offices of the Catholic bishop of Trieste . The bishop later told an interviewer that he spent the afternoon, effectively barricaded in his own house, reading and catching up on correspondence. Archbishop Giampaolo Crepaldi told the diocesan newspaper Vita Nuova (New Life) he was reading a book by American sociologist, Rodney Stark , titled  The Triumph of Christianity , “which analyzes, among other things, the many persecutions suffered by Christians in two thousand years of history”. The book, he said, “demonstrates...that in the end, the persecutors pass and Christians continue, because the persecutions purify them and make them stronger. It’s a book that I recommend.” His offence was having publicly defended the Catholic Church ’s teaching on the nature of marriage in the d...

LANGLEY, British Columbia , 29 January, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The Canadian Council of Law Deans is doing its best to sabotage efforts by a respected evangelical university in BC to open the country’s first law school run by Christians , all because the university requires students to pledge to adhere to traditional Christian sexual ethics. Canada’s law deans say that Trinity Western University ’s (TWU) “community covenant” on sexual purity is “fundamentally incompatible” with the core values of Canadian law schools and the social values of diversity since it allegedly discriminates against gay, lesbian and bisexual students. TWU’s “community covenant” is a  solemn pledge  made by all university members to “voluntarily abstain” from “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman”. The pledge also asks that university members abstain from gossip, slander, lying, cheating, stealing, pornography, and drunkenness.  William ...

Just six months after reaffirming their commitment to keeping open homosexuals out of the Boy Scouts , the national leaders of the organization have signaled that they may be about to change their minds. Last July, after a confidential, two-year review, an 11-member special committee made up of Scout executives and volunteers came to the unanimous conclusion that a national ban on openly gay scouts and leaders was “absolutely the best policy.” The Boy Scouts won a 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court ruling recognizing their right to ban homosexuals in 2000. But a spokesman for the Scouts said Monday they are considering dropping the national ban in favor of a policy allowing local scouting groups to determine their own policies.  The change will be discussed next week by the organization's national board, the spokesman, Deron Smith, said. The Scouts did not provide a reason for the possible change, but in recent months, gay activists have turned up the pressure on the group....

Sea Scouting (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The comprehensive scope of the moral revolution America is currently experiencing is likely to surprise many Americans when they realize that the Boy Scouts are now swept up in the revolutionary tide.  Word came yesterday that the Boy Scouts of America is poised to change its policy preventing the participation of openly homosexual scouts and leaders. According to a spokesman for the Boy Scouts, the group may make the formal decision to end the policy as early as next week. This announcement comes just six months after the B.S.A. board declared that it would not reconsider the policy. Deron Smith, B.S.A. national spokesman, said last July that a special committee established by the B.S.A. board had unanimously recommended keeping the policy. Smith said that the committee “came to the conclusion that this policy is absolutely the best policy for the Boy Scouts.” Note carefully the language used by B.S.A. leadership just six mont...
