Image
English: Category:Images of Salt Lake City (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) AUCKLAND , New Zealand ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Just one week after the passage of gay ‘marriage’ legislation in New Zealand, it has been revealed that a group has been formed whose goal is to have group marriages recognised in law . The group, which has a Facebook page entitled “Support legalised Polyamory in NZ ”, says “We are supporters of the legal recognition of Polyamorous marriage in NZ. By ‘Polyamorous marriage’ we mean – responsible, adult, committed non-monogamy ( Plural marriage of any gender) marriage or union.” “We believe that ALL committed loving relationships between adults regardless of number should be respected and given legal acknowledgement” they go on to say. The group was highlighted recently in the popular New Zealand news site Stuff. Pro-family advocates have often argued that legalizaing gay ‘marriage’ will lead inevitably to the acceptance and recognition in law of polygamous, p...

Archbishop prays while topless gay activists shout curses and douse him with water

BRUSSELS - In an astonshing display of gentleness in the face of a vile attack, the head of the Catholic Church in Belgium , Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard, remained calmly seated with eyes closed in prayer Tuesday as four topless women attacked him with shouts and curses and doused him with water.  It’s not the first time the bishop has been attacked for standing up for the Church’s teachings on homosexuality and expressing his concern for those who live the homosexual lifestyle. The incident took place at the ULB University in Brussels where the archbishop was participating in a debate on blasphemy laws. The four women, representing the pro-abortion and homosexual group FEMEN , took to the stage where they disrobed to reveal black-painted slogans on their bare chests and backs, such as ‘my body my rules,’ and 'anus dei is coming.' They also held signs reading ‘stop homophobia’. The women doused the archbishop with water from bottles formed in the image of t...

France passes immoral homosexual ‘marriage’ and divides the nation

Image
April 23, 2013 - The French National Assembly voted for the text legalizing same-sex “marriage” and adoption by 331 votes against 225 on Tuesday afternoon . The Socialists were joined by the Greens, the Communist party and the Radicals and other leftwing groups, but also by Centrists and two members of the opposition UMP (ex- president Sarkozy ’s party), in adopting what Christiane Taubira , the French Justice minister, called a “change of civilization.” A handful of Socialists, Communists and Radicals voted against. Seconds after voting most of the opposition members left the chamber while the majority of the Left gave a standing ovation to the law. Clapping in rhythm, they chanted: “Equality, equality!”  A few minutes before the vote, the Assembly’s socialist president, Claude Bartolone , had reacted angrily to a move by the public in the galleries, when two young men started to unfurl a white banner with the word “Referendum.” “Get those enemies of democracy out of he...

Children told to mimic lesbian & homosexuals in school

Marriage (Photo credit: Lel4nd ) In 2011, before same-sex marriage was legalized in New York , promises were made that the bill would not impact anyone but same-sex couples who simply desired to be 'married.' We knew that was false then... and New York parents are beginning to learn the truth now. Christian News  is reporting that in Red Hook, New York , 13 and 14 year old girls were encouraged to mimic lesbian behavior and to "ask one another for a kiss" at a school " anti-bullying " presentation. Two girls were brought on stage and asked to act like lesbians out on a date. The boys were told to carry a condom with them at all times. Parents weren't given any notice of this school event. And, confronted by angry parents, "the principal and the district superintendant are defending the workshops, and are advising that they will schedule more." My friend, this is what's at stake:  our right to raise our children with our values...

Immoral Homosexual marriage will lead to further re-definitions of marriage

Image
Opponents of same-sex marriage resist it because it amounts to redefining marriage, but also because it  will invite future redefinitions . If we embrace same-sex marriage, they argue, society will have surrendered any reasonable grounds on which to continue forbidding polygamy , for example. In truth, proponents of same-sex marriage have never offered a very good response to this concern. This problem was highlighted at the Supreme Court last month in oral argument over California’s Proposition 8 , the state constitutional amendment that defines marriage as a union of a man and a woman. Surprisingly, the polygamy problem that same-sex marriage presents was raised by an Obama appointee, the liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Sotomayor interrupted the presentation of anti-Prop 8 litigator Theodore Olson to pose the following question: If marriage is a fundamental right in the way proponents of same-sex marriage contend, “what state restrictions could ever exist,” for example,...

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) COLUMBUS, OH , April 22, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews ) – The firing of a teacher at Bishop Watterson Catholic High School after it was learned she was involved in a long-term homosexual relationship may pit the Catholic diocese against a Columbus city ordinance barring employers from discriminating based on sexuality. Gym instructor Carla Hale, 57, was fired last week after an anonymous parent wrote the Diocese of Columbus to complain because in an  obituary  for Hale’s mother, Hale was listed as a survivor alongside her longtime lesbian partner, Julie.  Hale signed a morality clause as part of her contract, affirming that “ Catholic school personnel are expected to be examples of moral behavior and professionalism,” and acknowledging her employment could be terminated for “immorality” or “serious unethica...

French Assembly to vote on gay ‘marriage’ Tuesday: spontaneous protests growing

Image
Not a day has passed since the French Senate adopted the law legalizing same-sex “marriage,” on Friday, April 12th, without vigorous protests in many towns in France. At least 150,000 demonstrators took to the streets once again in Paris on Sunday (40,000, say official police figures, 270,000 according to the “Manif pour tous”, the “ Demonstration for all” which is opposing “marriage for all”). This was the fourth major rally in Paris since November 18th, when 300,000 people joined, and those organized on January 13th and March 24th which attracted approximately a million and a million and a half demonstrators, respectively. Last Sunday’s event was a “minor” affair, aimed only at Paris and its region, organized at a few days’ notice in preparation of Tuesday’s formal and public vote at the National Assembly which is expected to adopt the legislation in the same terms as the Senate, completing the accelerated legislative procedure devised by François Hollande’s socialist gover...
