North Carolina leaders reach deal to repeal transgender bathroom law

Image
A yearlong debate over transgender access to public bathroom and locker room facilities seemed to come to an end late Wednesday as Republicans and Democrats reached a last-minute agreement that will void a controversial North Carolina law .   Gov. Roy Cooper (D), state Senate President Phil Berger (R) and state House Speaker Tim Moore (R) announced Wednesday night they had agreed to repeal House Bill 2 , a measure that blocked local governments from allowing transgender residents to access the bathroom facilities of their choice.   The compromise still prevents local governments and the state's colleges and universities from regulating access to multiple-occupancy restrooms and locker rooms. The measure repeals House Bill 2, which also applied to single-use facilities. "I support the House Bill 2 repeal compromise that will be introduced tomorrow," Cooper said in a statement late Wednesday. "It's not a perfect deal, but it repeals House B...

Australia: The fight for same-sex marriage in Australia is far from over

English: Antonin Scalia, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) In a democracy social policy should be decided by the people, not by the judiciary , as has happened in the United States with a one vote majority that forced immoral homosexual marriage onto 32 million. In a democracy social policy should be decided by the people, not by the judiciary, as has happened in the United States this week. While we have heard much about the US Supreme Court 's extraordinary ruling that a right to marry someone of the same sex has – somehow – always been constitutional, there's been hardly any mention about last week's overwhelming vote against gay marriage in the Austrian legislature. Most people in a democracy believe social policy should be determined by the people, not by dubious interpretation by an activist judiciary. The US Supreme Court majority has set a dangerous precedent for the US by asserting that the American peo...

Australia: Who voted to decriminalize homosexual immorality?

Image
English: Paul Keating in 2007. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The Australian Liberal party , somehow supported immoral homosexual decriminalization. In October 1973, former Liberal prime minister, John Gorton , moved the first motion in the federal parliament calling for the decriminalisation of homosexual activity by consenting adults in private. His motion passed, Labor's Paul Keating voted against it. The first piece of decriminalising legislation was sadly introduced by the Liberal Party, Murray Hill, in the South Australia Legislative Council in October 1972 because the then premier was homosexual. Federal Liberal attorney general, Bob Ellicott , reformed the ACT laws in 1976.  In 1993, Liberal Ted Pickering was the crucial vote securing anti-homosexual vilification legislation in New South Wales . He went on to be the police minister. In Queensland it was the Labor party that decriminalized immoral homosexuality in the 1980's.  So it appears that there is al...

3rd class Homosexual Marriage

Image
Below is an article written by a homosexual man , talking about either adopting a child or using surrogacy to try and create a family . It is a very off article. Why is it off? Because the homosexual relationship is sexually based, barren, against physical design - yet they are striving to create an image or a normal family.  It could be called pretend family or second class family - and it reflects the oddness of the male homosexual community the hierarchy, the groups seeking to pretend they are like heterosexual traditional families. Unfortunately, there is little focus on the child. The focus is on portraying an image - happy gay men can form a family. False and wrong. For Gay Parents , Deciding Between Adoption and Surrogacy Raises Tough Moral Questions When my husband David and I became new parents, we thought it would be fun and perhaps even affirming to get involved with a gay dads group. As far as I could tell, the only regular event was a brunch that took p...

Chimamanda Adichie: I have nothing to to apologize for over transgender women comments

Image
Acclaimed Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is standing by her comments on transgender women which caused widespread outcry last week. Adichie was accused of implying transgender women are not "real women," after a interview with Channel 4 last week, where she suggested the experiences of transgender women differ from women who are born female. Her comments drew immense criticism, resulting in Adichie posting a "clarification" of her earlier remarks on Facebook . She addressed the controversy again at a public appearance in Washington D.C on Monday. "From the very beginning, I think it's been quite clear that there's no way I could possibly say that trans women are not women," she said. But men are men. When they dress as women they are men. When they receive surgery they are still men even if they look like women - because you can't change your DNA. Historically, transgenderism was deemed to be a mental health situation. Nothing...

Traditional marriage, Christianity and cowardice on the college campus

Image
There appears to be a new trend in academia — invite a guest, bestow an honor and then publicly renege on the honor at the first whiff of controversy. The consequence of this approach is usually public humiliation for the honoree and an even-greater media kerfuffle than caused by announcing the award in the first place. For higher education institutions that pride themselves on “free thought,” it sure increasingly seems that "thought" can be bought by the highest-bidding alumnus who calls to complain. Indeed, the latest instance of higher education’s troubling moral equivocation took place in a rather unexpected locale — the Princeton Theological Seminary. After announcing that the Rev. Timothy Keller would receive the Kuyper Prize for Excellence in Reformed Theology and Public Witness, one of the school's most prestigious lectureships, the seminary received blowback because of Keller’s traditional views on marriage and female ordination. This week, the seminary...

Can you love your gay child and disapprove of what they do?

Image
Can you love someone while disapproving of what they do? In our morally confused times many folks think not. They think that we must simply accept anything; not to do so means we are unloving or intolerant. And governments have bought this contorted moral reasoning as well. But this is a recipe for disaster, and we had better get such matters sorted out before we cause even more damage. Let me tie this in to a common question. I am often asked what I would do if one of my children were caught out in some obvious sinful behaviour or lifestyle . The homosexual activists especially like to throw this one out: ‘What would you do if your child came out as a homosexual?’ They seem to think that this is a conversation stopper, and that they have nicely cornered me. Well no, it is not the end of the conversation, and no they have not cornered me. The answer is actually rather simple: I would of course, continue to love my child, even though I would not approve of the course of action the...
