If you are a normal American that believes the moral relativity of the Left (e.g. the Obama Administration: Gay Rights supporter but pro-DOMA), Secular Humanism and the Homosexual Agenda (including NAMBLA) will change the social structure of America then you need to call your Senator or Congressman pronto!
The (so-called) Respect of Marriage Act of 2009 will be coming to a vote in the House soon. This bill is typical Leftist obfuscation of words that has zero respect for marriage. HR 3567’s sole purpose is to undo the Defense of Marriage Act which is a Federalist concept of not forcing a State to accept same-sex laws of another State that by legislation (rare) or State judicial fiat (common) has allowed homosexuals to degenerate marriage by allowing homosexuals all the laws and privileges that follow matrimony.
The Respect of Marriage Act is Federalist in nature in that the central government is imposing its will on all people of all States in the Union. This is the kind of Federalism which is antithetic to the concept of Federalism as designed by the Founding Fathers. This is the kind of Federalism that is government despotism. The Constitution was designed to allow issues affecting a particular State’s citizens to be resolved by State sovereignty.
Kerry Jacoby writing in the American Thinker provides the eloquent precise reasons for calling your Senator or Congressman.

Below are a couple of comments left by Ellie (of Vox social network) concerning one of my many cross posts: “The Immorality of Homosexuality.”
Thank you for the link, I will have a look.
With all due respect, the parades are not proof of anything. It makes me sad (and a bit crazy, to be honest with you) that we liberals and secularists are painted as perverts. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I, like many liberals, am pro-military, and pro-authority.
It makes me sick to see thongs in public. I don't want to see people's private parts - whether someone's gay or straight. But gays don't have a monopoly on perversion - not at all. It's the bad stereotype of gay parades that makes all sorts feel free to act like they're porn stars. My gay friends hate it even more than I do. They are perfectly proper citizens.
I'm not touching the Bible - I have no interest in reinterpreting it. I respect other's wishes, I just wish you guys would speak to us liberals before you judge us.
…
Way2K, are you kidding me? Craigslist? That is not a scientifc study.
The article says, "One study says this...and one study says that....". They are not mentioning what studies they refer to. That must be convenient to say the study is out there in the ether but to not actually reference which study it is.
Here is an example of a scientific study:
A difference in hypothalamic structure between heterosexual and homosexual men
And to explain why such published studies are important references, here is my favorite scientist discussing evolution vs creationism.
Thank you for listening to me rant, I can't think of a better thing than for our polarized citizens to talk to one another.
So because a person finds some statistics and posts them to a Craig's List link, the statistics are invalid? Hmm...
Besides it was only a cursory Google search that I found this link. I did not realize you were going to use the statistics as a scientific reference. Probably Googling those statistics will lead to the origination.
I do appreciate genial dialogue as opposed to the epithets that I receive for my stand with Christian morality.
Incidentally, contrary to probably most of my fellow Conservatives (and probably a significant portion of my fellow Christian Right brethren) I am not closed minded about many Slanted Left concepts. However, I do filter everything through the Bible as it is viewed via Charismatic, Pentecostal and Word of Faith views. I am also aware that many Christians both toward the Left (i.e. more relativist than Biblical) and toward the Right (intolerant Protestant traditional view points often equated with fundamentalism) would consider me archaic (Left) or heretical (Right). Nonetheless, the Bible is everything for me.
In saying that I have to say there is a good argument for both Socialism and Capitalism in the New Testament:
• Socialism – Acts 2:40-47.
• Capitalism – Matthew 13:44-52; 25:14-29.
I personally could find more of the Scripture supporting Capitalism than Socialism but the point is both concepts are in the New Testament. I also realize that theologians would not view these Scriptures in economic terms; rather the Biblical scholar or student would find the spiritual Truth that is the direct meaning. Nonetheless, the spiritual Truth may be the point; however the principle can be surmised.
There is evil in Socialism. When all the altruistic good of the collective is looked at through who decides what is the greater good for the collective, then abuse begins to occur. Hence Socialism too often leads to godless authoritarian Communism in which the one human (or ruling human group) decides the good for the many.
There is evil in Capitalism. When the individual (or the influential group of wealth) places greedy gain to the detriment of the mass of individuals then people are exploited for the benefit of a few.
The key for either the Socialist Left or the Capitalist Right to be beneficial for humanity is the Golden Rule: Do to others as you would have them do to you. Or love humanity as God loved humanity enough to give His one and only Son, that all humanity may have the God-Kind (Zoe) life. I am ashamed to say too many Christians fall short of the Christian ideal which does include me. I do have a tendency to get steamed over social issues like homosexuality and abortion because they definitely are not in line with the Bible. I become so steamed that I sometimes fall into the ditch of harshness.
So Ellie the biggest problem I have with the Left and alternate lifestyles is the anti-Biblical Christian path they tend to take.
Ellie now I will try the “scientific” data to which you refer.
The link to the research of Dr. Simon LeVay is fascinating stuff. LeVay’s hypothalamic studies have led to the speculation of a “gay gene.” LeVay’s thinking seems to be if there is a “gay gene” than the lifestyle of homosexuality is a normal biological part of human life.
It is the old “genetics versus environment” argument with those believing homosexuality developing due to one’s social environment is a learned lifestyle and thus reversible and not normal.
As you can expect the “science” that is in the tank to validate homosexuality has been initially excited about LeVay’s research. And those scientists (although a minority) who are Christian or social traditionalists seem to be big on proving the environmental hypothesis.
When it has looked like LeVay and/or other like minded scientists was very close to identifying a “gay gene” the social traditionalists are quick to point out it has not been proven. (SA this narth.com article) Then someone woke up among the homosexual activists. If homosexual friendly LeVay indeed discovers a “gay gene” proving biology over environment, then heterosexual parents might take advantage with a little genetic social engineering to remove any possibility of a “gay gene” to exist via abortion or other methods. This would effectively bring the modern termination of homosexuals as their so-called genetic brethren (and sistren) would slowly decrease.
Of course the American Psychiatric Association admits there is no “gay gene”. Many on the Right believe this APA reversal was due to regain a better reputation of objectivity. I believe the APA reversal was due to the headaches that genetic engineering would cause for the homosexual community.
Let me end by saying that I do appreciate dialogue without profanity. My experience is that my intransient stand with the Bible irritates the Slanted Left, homosexual activists, the pro-choice crowd and other such ideologies. That is okay as long as the Left understands that their views are often offensive to me. But hey, we all live in America. We all have Constitutional Rights of Free Speech as long as it does not cause immediate harm (e.g. falsely yelling fire in crowded area).
Thanks for your time Ellie.
Homosexuality is the perversion that the Left and alternate lifestyle advocates are trying to convince mainstream America is part of normal everyday life. In other words displaying sexual acts of perversion in public is normal as opposed to Christian morality that decries any sex act in public – homosexual or heterosexual.
In the homosexual agenda to normalize perverted sex, homosexuals have taken to the streets to perform lewd sex acts in public. If a heterosexual was caught doing such acts in public they would be jailed.
The homosexual agenda has eroded what the word “normal” is. In twisting the word “normal” decent morals in America have been eroded to make way for perverted alternate lifestyles. Thus the Left and alternate lifestyle advocates have been doing their best to proclaim that Christian ethics and morality are a chain and ball from archaic history. There is a total denial of a Creator or if there is an alternate lifestyle belief in a Creator (e.g. Christian homosexuals or Conservative homosexuals), the Creator’s Word is distorted or revised to fit the alternate lifestyle.
There is a grotesque annual parade that hits many of the major cities of America called the Folsom St. Fair Parade. These fairs and/or parades are a display of homosexual perversion in public that if legal statutes were enforced they would be illegal with jailing occurring. The name is derived from the original homosexual parade/fair in San Francisco (where else?).
I am not going into how many cities or which ones participate in this perversion and to allow occur; however an Internet friend has been keeping me update of the Folsom St. spin off in New York City. I have to admit that I have been hesitant to write on this because acts that occur in these are so horrifyingly perverted. My Internet friend (we will call him Solid Snake) has provided pictures and video that I have not been able to watch all the way through due to the disgusting nature of this street fair/parade. Amazingly, Solid Snake has pointed me toward a “mature” Youtube” posting that must have passed the censor’s mustard. If you can eschew the horrifying displays by homosexuals at this parade you can view an example of the recent New York City version of Folsom Street (oops I was going to say HERE, but I just discovered the censor caught up with Solid Snake – photo from that video courtesy of AFTAH. Well here is one more parenthetical update. Snake Dog has placed another YouTube video. If you need to see the evidence homosexual perversity, watch it. If you take my word for it, avoid watching it.).
This should be a big deal all across America. My New York City friend has been following this because the Democrats in the State of New York have been trying to validate same-sex marriage via legislation in that State. So the New York authorities have been looking the other way as these perversions occur. Imagine what will happen at these Folsom Street events in New York if same-sex marriage overtly becomes legal.
Now I have focused on New York because of where I have been getting my most recent information; however this kind of perversity occurs in nearly all kinds of homosexual parades of entertainment and activism in America. Horrifyingly it is even filtering down to America’s youth because of the erosion of morality in the nation.
One example is a gay pride “youth parade” in which teenagers simulate homosexual acts as they march down the street promoting hedonistic repulsive homosexuality. I am certain those parades are not as graphic as the Folsom Street variety, but to see near children in simulation of homosexual acts is alarming as well as disgusting.
Friends it is time to rise up against the money of homosexuals and the Secular Humanist Left. If you are a Christian, do (at least) two things. Pray in the name of Jesus for the morality of the United States of America. Then become active or support the organizations (political or citizen driven) that withstand the Homosexual Agenda and the Secular Humanist Agenda.

Well here is good news and bad news from the State of California concerning homosexual same-sex marriages.
The State Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the rights of California State citizens to amend their State Constitution by referendum. Hence Proposition 8 is now the Constitutional law of the State of California defining marriage as between a man and a woman rather than Adam and Steve or Eve and Evilynne.
The bad news is the California State Supreme Court upheld their changing of the law when that judicial body struck down Proposition 22 defining marriage properly for being a mere initiative thus open for the State Court to counter the will of the people. That means the homosexual reprobates that married between the State Supreme Court fiat and the Constitutional Amendment inherent in Proposition 8 are still legally binding.

California court upholds Prop 8
By Ed Morrissey
May 26, 2009 1:25 pm
Hot Air
In what looks like a Solomonic and almost unavoidable conclusion, the California Supreme Court acknowledged that voters in the state properly amended the Constitution to bar single-gender marriage. The ruling signals a victory for democracy over judicial fiat, as Proposition 8 reversed the same court’s declaration of the right to gay marriage. The court split the baby, figuratively speaking, by reaffirming the marriages conducted by California in the interim:
The California Supreme Court today upheld Proposition 8’s ban on same-sex marriage but also ruled that gay couples who wed before the election will continue to be married under state law.
The decision virtually ensures another fight at the ballot box over marriage rights for gays. Gay rights activists say they may ask voters to repeal the marriage ban as early as next year, and opponents have pledged to fight any such effort. Proposition 8 passed with 52% of the vote.
Although the court split 6-1 on the constitutionality of Proposition 8, the justices were unanimous in deciding to keep intact the marriages of as many as 18,000 gay couples who exchanged vows before the election. The marriages began last June, after a 4-3 state high court ruling striking down the marriage ban last May.
In an opinion written by Chief Justice Ronald M. George, the state high court ruled today that the November initiative was not an illegal constitutional revision, as gay rights lawyers contended, nor unconstitutional because it took away an inalienable right, as Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown argued.
The 6-1 split is significant. The previous ruling declaring gay marriage a right under California’s constitution was very narrow. Three of the judges who voted for that decision went the other direction today. They had little choice. California allows constitutional amendments by referenda, and the backers of Proposition 8 followed the law scrupulously in getting it on the ballot.
Confirming the marriages also appears to be the correct decision. When the couples got their licenses and had the ceremonies performed, the law in the state (as dictated by the court) allowed for those marriages. Proposition 8 changed the law, but it cannot apply ex post facto. Since those licenses were valid and backed by the state at the time they were issued, the court had little choice but to approve them — and their unanimous judgment speaks to the common sense conclusion.
However, that does set up an interesting point for a federal appeal. If the plaintiffs in this case argue against this dichotomy on an equal-protection basis, a federal court might find that intriguing enough to consider. Even if that doesn’t work, the plaintiffs plan on a new referendum that will reverse Proposition 8. Something tells me that this will be a more or less permanent feature on California’s ballots for the foreseeable future.
Update: I meant judicial fiat, not legislative fiat. Thanks to RBJ in comments for correcting me._____________________

Apparently sexual deviancy has the big bucks in the Northeast. Already three Northeastern States have passed into existence same-sex marriage laws. It should be noted though those laws were not decided by voters as much as they were enacted by State Legislators.
State Legislators have been receiving campaign donations from the sexual deviant crowd. This is coupled with the unfortunate reality of the lack of a presence of any well financed of Biblical Morality organizations. The organizations that are in place have depleted their financial coffers fighting other issues. The Roman Catholic Church is the biggest financially endowed Christian organization and that group has failed to step up to the plate to battle the immorality of same-sex marriage.
If you want to see the moral degradation of what Northeastern legislators are supporting you should view this link to the sexually prurient group that that does a morally degrading homosexual block party in New York. Be forewarned though, IT IS NOT A PRETTY SITE TO READ OR VIEW: http://www.folsomstreeteast.org/
The big bucks represented by these sick immoral hedonistic sexually explicit homosexuals are what New York State legislators are paying attention to. According to the New York Times (of all rags) New York’s duly elected State legislators are imminently preparing to enact a law legalizing same-sex marriage in the State of New York.
If you encounter a homosexual who vainly attempts to disabuse the Bible of Biblical Morality by informing you that God’s Word does not condemn homosexuality as immoral, then you can laugh at his tongue in cheek face.
Here are some examples from a Calvary Bible Church website from 2004:
After reading the Biblical texts that address homosexuality you might wonder how anyone could call themselves a Christian homosexual or why some mainline denominations now give approval to homosexual behavior. The Scriptures have not changed, so how, you might wonder, do they justify the sin of homosexuality in light of what the Scriptures say?
There are several approaches homosexuals use to explain why the Scriptures don’t mean what they say. First is to say that the reason Sodom and Gomorrah were judged is that the men of Sodom were not practicing hospitality. This is a desperate interpretation that disappears into vapor when one reads what Jude has to say about the reason God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Jude, after explaining how God judged angels who did not keep their proper domain says in Jude 7, “just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.” Here Jude describes the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah as “indulging in gross immorality” and going after “strange flesh” or flesh of a different kind – the men of Sodom were homosexual and wanted to have homosexual relations with the angels.
A second way the Scriptures are twisted by homosexuals is by saying that the laws against homosexual activity in Lev. 18:22; 20:13 are only for the priests. It is argued that these texts appear in the holiness code for the priesthood (Lev. chs. 17–27) and therefore do not apply to those who are not priests.
The problem is that the holiness code also forbids other immoral acts such as incest, fornication, harlotry, adultery, and bestiality. You can quickly see the problem their argument creates. If homosexuality is acceptable because it is found in the holiness code that only applies to the priests then the other immoral acts mentioned only apply to the priests as well, which means incest, fornication, harlotry, adultery, and bestiality are acceptable, also.
A third way the Scriptures are twisted by those who argue that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality is by trying to argue that the Apostle Paul didn’t condemn all homosexual activity. He only condemned homosexual activity among those who were born to be heterosexual, for they would be contradicting their created nature. They argue that Paul assumed that some people would be born with a homosexual orientation and those people would be sinning if they had heterosexual relationships because they would be perverting the way God made them.
Of course the fallacy with this argument is that God doesn’t make anyone a homosexual. Homosexuality is not genetic, but a learned behavior, a sinful choice that people make. Granted, everyone is susceptible to some sins more than others, but a strong desire to commit a particular sin, doesn’t mean God made you to sin in that way. Some people like to lie, others like to steal, but this doesn’t mean God created them that way. It means they have a strong desire to sin in those areas but it does not exonerate their sinful behavior.
A fourth way the pro–homosexual advocates twist the Scriptures is by using the misogynist argument. The misogynist argument says that in biblical times women were treated cruelly and were oppressed. They say that men during that time felt it was important to show dominance over women in every area. They argue that the Apostle Paul was conforming to the cultural standard of the day so naturally he taught that heterosexual relationships were mandatory. Since we live in a different culture where women are not treated like cattle and oppressed, Paul’s teachings don’t apply.
The problem with this argument is that the Bible sets a very high standard for the respect and care of women and requires husbands to treat them as co–equals in salvation and equal in worth. There is no law, ancient or modern which honors women like the Bible. Husbands are commanded to love, cherish, nurture, honor, protect, provide for, love their wives as their own body, help their wives grow in the Lord and love their wives as Christ loved the church who gave himself up for her. Hardly a misogynist agenda, especially when you consider that the Apostle Paul, who was the most outspoken in condemning homosexuality, also was the most outspoken about how husbands are to love and honor their wives. Granted, men have sinned against God in every age by not loving and honoring their wives, but their wicked behavior towards their wives is not sanctioned in the Bible.
The reason homosexuals are so desperate to try and explain away the Bible’s universal condemnation of homosexual behavior is that men, in their selfish desire to satisfy their lusts, have always sought to justify their sin. God has placed within man an awareness that he exists, but men, wanting to sin with a clear conscience, either deny God, deny the Bible is the Word of God, or twist the Scriptures to conform to their own lusts. Yet, in doing this they open the door for every other sin. (You should read the article from start to finish – it is informative.)
From a Biblical Morality view homosexuality is definitely a deviant perversion regardless of the faith abandoning sciences of the American Medical Association (SA THIS) and American Psychiatric Association (SA THIS).
The scientific community in its quest to validate a morally reprobate lifestyle such as homosexuality has been working feverishly to prove that homosexuality is biological-genetic as opposed to learned from the environment. The environment case would validate God’s Word and the genetic case would validate Secular humanism.
The irony of this scientific quest is that some homosexuals realized an emerging problem. That problem is that the discovery of a specific gay gene might prove to be a scientific way for normal parents to make sure that their child is genetically enhanced to wash away all inclinations toward homosexuality. Oops! The quest to genetically validate sexual deviancy might lead to genetically ending sexual deviancy.
Upon this realization the pro-homosexual scientists have attempted to connect genealogy to environment. This obscurant attempt to validate the homosexual gene stipulates that environment is the leading cause that activates that gene.
PLEASE! One doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand that empirical data is being manipulated to appease the big buck homosexual organizations in their quest to invalidate Christianity as the foundation of the moral standards of America.
Thus it is not surprising that the American Psychology Association has publically acknowledged there is NO gay gene.
Still the well financed Homosexual agenda is succeeding in the Northeast in validating homosexuality via legalizing same-sex marriage. I wonder if there would be a greater outcry from normal heterosexuals if they and lawmakers were aware of the Homosexual agenda already implemented by many large businesses and corporations. Homosexual agenda influenced subservient businesses are actually persecuting Christians who take a stand not to participate in management mandated diversity seminars (i.e. code for forced homosexual acceptance).
Here are few examples:
Professor Janis Price of DePauw University, Indiana, placed issues of a magazine on a table in the back of her classroom. One of her students was offended by an article that was critical of how homosexuality was being handled in public schools and complained to the administration. Price was accused of providing her students with intolerant material. She was suspended and her salary cut by 25 percent.
Albert Buonanno, a Christian employee of AT&T Broadband, was fired in February 2004 for refusing to go along with a mandatory company policy demanding acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle.
Rolf Szabo lost his job at Eastman Kodak after he refused to go along with the company's "diversity" program, which required he give support to homosexuals in the work place who wanted to come out.
Motorola actively promotes a similar agenda through mandatory "homophobia" workshops and homosexual sex-ed courses. One employee told author David Limbaugh that "this push is causing a great deal of tension among employees and the 'quiet anger' of some who disapprove of the homosexual lifestyle because of their religious beliefs."
Episodes such as these are happening by the hundreds across America, every day of the week. According to medical, social science and especially legal experts, what is being called "diversity" is actually a dangerous new movement by a small group of activists to make the homosexual lifestyle appear as normal and healthy as the heterosexual lifestyle, even if that means deliberately hiding any information to the contrary.
…
Fitzgibbons recently served as an expert witnesses in a case involving an Ann Arbor Michigan high school student whose Christian viewpoint was deliberately excluded from the schools "Diversity Week" celebration. Part of the week's festivities involved a panel of six clerics from different denominations who were assembled for a discussion about "Homosexuality and Religion." No one on the panel represented the Judeo-Christian view of homosexual relations.
Betsy Hanson, an 18-year-old Roman Catholic student, requested that a representative of the Catholic Church be part of the panel. Her request was denied by school officials who claimed her religious views would convey a negative message and would "water-down" the positive religious message that they wanted to convey.
Hanson and her mother decided to sue and Detroit Federal Judge Gerald Rosen ruled in their favor. "Isn't this cultural hegemony, where you're only going to present one view to the exclusion of others?" the judge demanded of the school's attorneys. "Don't you think that smacks of government and religious totalitarianism? Isn't that how we got to book-burning in Nazi Germany back in the 1930s?"
Fitzgibbons believes schools and school psychologists should be held liable when they actively promote the homosexual lifestyle while withholding vital information about mental and physical risks.
…
Although doctors are obligated to provide informed consent to their patients, educators are not, he said.
However, in schools where a school psychologist is involved in these groups, then Fitzgibbons said they have the requirement to provide informed consent about the dangers of the lifestyle.
"If they don't, and a child experiences some of the medical illnesses that are so highly prevalent, particularly among men involved in same-sex relationships, that school psychologist is liable, the principal is liable and the school superintendent is liable. Just as when a doctor makes a mistake at a hospital, the hospital is also liable."
Phil Burress, president of Citizens for Community Values, has been sending out letters to 2,500 schools across the country who are relying on the "safe-school" programs devised by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network warning them of potential legal liabilities for the tort of negligence "if it is proven that homosexual activist organizations were granted access to students under the school's responsibility and that students suffered physical or mental harm. Under the right circumstances, state authorities could also bring criminal proceedings," he writes, citing Ohio Revised Code 2907.04, 2919.22 and 2919.24. (Excerpted from intro of the Catholic Education Resource Center 6 Part essay entitled, "Homosexuality: The Untold Story — The phantom gene”)
Yeah, I am willing to bet this Roman Catholic study receives very little attention from the Mainstream Media. I also doubt that Northeastern (and now New York State) legislators have viewed this alternative yet mainstream view of homosexuality.

Here is a story about Ray Boltz – Huge Christian Contemporary Musician – giving into the dark side of homosexuality.
It is old news but it is the first time I have read it. The article I read it from is an online magazine called The Voice.
For some reason the article isn’t dated; however a quick perusal of the comments suggests The Voice published the story on or before September 24, 2008.
Boltz out himself publicly to a Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender rag called the Washington Blade.
Boltz says he turned to Christianity to try to overcome homosexual tendencies when he was a young teenager. He eventually married as a Christian heterosexual and produced four kids which are adults now.
Apparently he outed himself to his family which obviously has led to a divorce for Boltz claimed he was living a happy normal homosexual life.
Sadly and Certainly Boltz has provided more ammunition for homosexual activists to attack Biblical Morality which is definitely anti-homosexual lifestyle.

Christian Songwriter Ray Boltz Embraces Homosexuality
By Sherea Atkins
September 2008
The Voice Magazine
A contemporary Christian songwriter Ray Boltz has embraced the homosexual lifestyle during his coming out journey. His songs were inspiring, patriotic, and encouraged many. Boltz authored 16 albums and enjoyed a nearly 20-year recording career. However, in a lengthy interview with the Washington Blade - a gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender newspaper – Boltz exposed his true lifestyle.
Boltz is a household name for many evangelical Christians, particularly for hits like “Thank You,” “Watch the Lamb,” “The Anchor Holds,” and “I Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb.”
Boltz garnered a handful of Recording Industry Association of America Gold-certified albums, three Dove Awards from the Gospel Music Association and 12 number one hits on Christian radio. Boltz is regarded as one of the better-known singer/songwriters in contemporary Christian music. But after the release of his last album in 2002, and his last tour in 2004, he retired from the music industry and moved to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
On December 26, 2004, Boltz disclosed to his wife of 33 years and his four adult children that he was gay. According to Boltz’s own words in The Washington Blade, “It’s hard to say I came out because I didn’t have all the answers. I just admitted what I was struggling with and what I was feeling. It’s hard to go, ‘This is the point where I accepted my sexuality and who I was,’ but I came out to them and shared with them what I’d been going through.”
Boltz’s marriage to his ex-wife was, as he says, largely a happy one. It produced four children — three daughters and a son who are now between 22 and 32 — but family life and going through the motions of being heterosexual wearied Boltz. He describes himself as entering a serious state of depression. He was in therapy for years, taking Prozac and other anti-depressants, and was oftentimes suicidal.
Boltz told The Blade, “I’d denied it ever since I was a kid. I became a Christian, I thought that was the way to deal with this and I prayed hard and tried for 30-some years and then at the end, I was just going, ‘I’m still gay. I know I am.’ And I just got to the place where I couldn’t take it anymore … when I was going through all this darkness, I thought, ‘Just end this.’”
This month the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) announced Boltz would be giving two concerts at MCC venues in Indianapolis and Washington, D.C., with proceeds to benefit the new direction of Boltz’s musical career. MCC sees its mission being social as well as spiritual by standing up for the rights of minorities, particularly those of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people (LGBT).
Though he’s open to performing, Boltz says he doesn’t plan to let this issue take over his life.
“I don’t want to be a spokesperson, I don’t want to be a poster boy for gay Christians, I don’t want to be in a little box on TV with three other people in little boxes screaming about what the Bible says, I don’t want to be some kind of teacher or theologian — I’m just an artist and I’m just going to sing about what I feel and write about what I feel and see where it goes,” he told the Washington Blade.
Boltz declined to go into specifics about the first time he was with a man, but says he has been dating and lives “a normal gay life” now. He went on to tell the Washington Blade, “This is what it really comes down to: If this is the way God made me, then this is the way I’m going to live. It’s not like God made me this way and he’ll send me to hell if I am who he created me to be … I really feel closer to God because I no longer hate myself.”

Ted Haggard resigned his Pastorate of his New Life Church in Colorado Springs and he resigned as President of the influential (Christian Right) National Association of Evangelicals in 2006.
In case you have forgotten as to why Haggard resigned, it was due to accusations of homosexuality.
When the story first broke publicly, Haggard denied everything. As the smoking gun evidence emerged the resignations followed.
I am saying the evidence (the exposing light) exposed the darkness. The darkness was more than being a homosexual. The darkness was prevaricating to his Church, his fellow leaders of the National Association of Evangelicals and to Christian Brothers and Sisters globally that had honored Haggard’s Office as a Pastor and a supposed man of God preaching the Truth of Jesus Christ.
Haggard intended to LIE until light exposed the darkness.
Here it is 2009 and I have recently discovered not only he lied about homosexual debauchery with a male prostitute, but he had at least one other homosexual relationship with a member of his Church. I have to guess since Haggard even lied about another homosexual act, he could be covering other acts of Biblical perversions that he may be hoping the darkness will cover the light.
I know I must sound like I am being a little rough for a Christian Believer that believes in the Mercy and Grace of God through the Redeeming Blood of the Savior Jesus Christ.
Here is the thing. I have grown weary of trusted Christian leaders betraying their flocks and God-Seekers looking to be fed spiritually. It is apparent now that Haggard exploited his position of leadership to be a big dog preacher while simultaneously turning his back on his Lord Jesus Christ.
I have to honest I am blowing a little steam that I will probably have to ask forgiveness for. NOT only was Haggard a prevaricating hypocrite to Christians that believed he had an example of faithfulness, but Haggard was a prevaricating hypocrite to the poor souls that are trying to validate an alternate lifestyle that contradicts Biblical morality.
Haggard’s lying deceptive ways has to be perceived by practicing homosexuals as confirmation that Biblical morality is a mythical standard that does not apply to human being in the 21st century. I mean why would a homosexual listen to a Believer trying to explain the Good News of Jesus Christ (even under a Holy Spirit led anointing) sharing that humanity has been delivered from the darkness of this world system with Haggard as a reason to scoff at the Believer?
I read Haggard’s new story of prevarication knowing homosexuals are doomed to forsake the Risen Savior and that Believers may fall by choice under the delusion that Salvation is worthless under the power of the flesh life.
Come on Haggard! At least follow the example of once fallen Minister Jim Baker who fell morally and also according to the secular laws of the land. Baker did his time in prison and has brought everything to light pushing the darkness out of his life. Haggard, back on board of the light and the darkness will have no power over you and will put a huge dent in the dark example of your old man dominating your new man in Christ Jesus.

Conservatives have an acronym for Republicans that lean toward the Left. That word is RINO for Republicans in Name Only.
I just finished reading a story in WorldNetDaily about the Emergent Church movement. According to that story a principle figure in the loose Emergent Church movement supports the alternative lifestyle of homosexual and transgender as lifestyles that should be fully supported and embraced as normal by Christians.
Yes friends this is Counter-Biblical.
Since there are so many Churches that are considered Mainline Churches that have obviously abandoned the moral standard of the Bible, I thought it is time to have an acronym for these pseudo-Christians – Christians in Name Only or CINO.
Here is a list of Denominations that are fully or divisively CINOs in relation to alternative lifestyles contradicting Biblical Morality:
· Anglican (Episcopalian)
· Canadian and American Reformed Churches
· Christian Reformed Church
· Church of the Nazarene
· Lutheran (Marin Luther rolling grave)
· Mennonite
· United Methodist Church (UMC)
· Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA)
· Metropolitan Community Church
· Moravian Church
· New Apostolic Church
· United Reformed Church
· Religious Society of Friends (Quakers)
· Swedenborgian Church
· Unification Church
· Unitarian/Universalist Church
· United Church of Canada
· United Church of Christ (UCC)
· Uniting Church in Australia
· Unity School of Christianity
· Waldensians
Source: Wikipedia.
This is obviously not an exhaustive list AND there are conservative Congregations within many of these Dominations which reject homosexuality because the Bible pronounces the practice as sin.
The point though is this: Including the Emergent Church way too many Denominations that call themselves Christians reject the Good Book as a foundation for morality. This is a sad state of affairs for the Institutional Body of Christ.
As a clarification of my stand on homosexuality, I do not believe those individuals who practice this alternate lifestyle should be treated as pariahs to the point of expressing hatorade. That is not the Way of Christ.
The Way of Christ is to share the Good News of deliverance from the dark wiles of the adversary – The Devil or Satan. Christians should not slip into animosity because of the rejection of the message of deliverance. The Bible says not to be unified with sin; however it also says to pray for those despitefully use you and abuse. Ephesians is even more specific:
16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding[a] being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. (Eph. 1: 16 – 23 NKJV)
Christians should reject loudly any acceptance of the practice of homosexuality; however it is incumbent for Christians not to render evil for evil by shouting demeaning comments back toward homosexuals even when goaded to do so. Understand that homosexuals are deceived by darkness and pray the Holy Spirit illuminates the souls of homosexuals and convinces them there is a better way.
Emergent Church leaders such as Tony Jones who wish to validate homosexuality need to get in tune with the Word of God and eschew the pressure human-centered moral relativity.

I have no idea who Peter M. Bradley of Britain is, but the singular minded anti-homosexual rights group known as the Americans for Truth about Homosexuality (AFTAH) seem to have raised the attention of Mr. Bradley. Come to think of it, it is probably a good thing I do not know who Mr. Bradley is.
Bradley recently sent an email showing his Gay Rights feelings on his shoulder and his Christophobic thinking in his writing.
You are very lucky that you live in the United States as we have laws in the United Kingdom about inciting hatred based on sexual orientation… here you would be imprisoned; and justly so. I have never seen such a diatribe of prejudiced rubbish in my entire life. Also the fact that your life’s work is dedicated (every day) to furthering your cause of hatred astounds me. Do you have nothing better to do with your time? I thought that Christians were meant to be out building wells in Africa where help is needed, not dressing up in smart suits waging campaigns against marginalised groups of people. I wonder what God thinks of you making decisions for him? Maybe if America had a more united culture like we do in the UK it may be more tolerant of all groups - we over here in Europe see you as a very disparate country made up of groups that know nothing about each other, and who have very little respect for diversity. You should take some lessons from the old world… it seems we have advanced much more than you have.

This is pretty much a summary I often get from angry homosexuals who vehemently dislike my stand that homosexuality equals immorality to the Christian faith. Homosexuals love to pour on the hatorade on Christians by calling them bigots or betrayers of the Christian love or Brotherhood. In other words rather than face up to the Biblical immorality of homosexuality, homosexual activists attempt to use the primary tools of Satan: deception and shame.
I don’t know how many times I have a homosexual apologist say Scripture does not mean what it says before the readers eyes. Often time followed by a warped interpretation of the New Testament or the brutality of the Old Testament (even in the O.T. sometimes I have read the claim Scripture does not mean what it says). Usually the criticism on Scriptural interpretation is closely followed by the tactic that homosexuals are just people like anyone else and the love of the Christian God would not stigmatize normal people like homosexuals. If homosexuals are not considered aberrant in their lifestyle then Biblical Christians are prejudiced bigots who be ashamed of some sort of racism.
PLEASE! That is just twisted thinking attempting to bully Biblical Christians into being quiet.
Interesting AFTAH has been responding to Mr. Bradley on the AFTAH blog. The two I found of interest was the response from Ron Loree and Laurie Higgins. YOU SHOULD READ THEM (or any other responses that may have come in since this post).

Here is a huge irony. Homosexual Activists must have been studying Mohammedan history. How can I say this? The Homosexual Activists have taken the Mohammedan concept of dhimmitude and have successfully lobbied into Colorado State Law the dhimmification of Christianity pertaining to homosexuality in the State of Colorado.
From the Mohammedan perspective dhimmitude is a community law that makes non-Mohammedans second class citizens with nearly zero political rights. Colorado’s SB200 is the beginning of this dhimmification process in relation to empowering homosexuals as a moral class of people while making it a criminal offense to proclaim the immorality of homosexuality outside of the walls of Christian Churches.
Thus the Arabic concept of dhimmi or “protected” is a hypocrisy entering American society. Christians can proclaim Biblical truths inside the walls of a Church however if open campaign to condemn homosexual immorality is preached outside a Church or published and sold by for profit companies it is now criminal.
If Colorado’s SB200 is not successfully challenged in a federal court it is a concept that Homosexual Activists will infect the rest of America as a difficult to cure political disease. According to James Dobson SB200 is written in such a way that a grassroots Initiative process to overturn the State Congressional legislation is not possible. I don’t understand how that is possible so I hope Dobson is inaccurate on that assertion.
This is also an example of the power of well funded minority activism overriding the will of the people. Dear God in Heaven do not let this political disease stand or infect the rest of America.
Homosexual Activists can continue to do rallies anywhere in Colorado preaching their disgusting agenda. If a Christian protests he, she or they can be tossed into jail or fined or both under SB200.
The key word in an article written by Bob Unruh is “marginalized.” The State is making a law restricting the free practice of religion and proclaiming homosexuality a valid style simultaneously. Dear friends that is Unconstitutional according to the First Amendment of the Federal Constitution. It marginalizes Christians by regulating the practice of where they can practice religion and where and how a Christian can practice Freedom of Speech.

A Commenter that calls him/her/both self “Gay Pride” said this to a June 4, 2007 post on Gay Pride parades in Jerusalem:
i say go ahead and show your pride people GAY PRIDE RULES AND NOTHING ANY BIGOT CAN SAY WILL STOP ME FROM SHOWING MY PRIDE
I am never in the mood for homosexuals to validate their lifestyle with displays of so-called “pride” and then have the audacity to proclaim the Biblical view of homosexuality as bigoted and thus by extension asserting that I am a bigot.
I merely write the Truth that the darkness of deaf ears and blind eyes cannot see due to the delusion of worshipping the creation more than the Creator. If anyone is bigoted here it is the homosexual who rejects Christ’s Grace or humanistically cherry picks Holy Scripture to validate deviancy as defined Biblically (not by the human AMA or its psychiatric twin).
The Epistle of Romans in the New Testament is the classic measuring stick of the sinfulness of the practice of homosexuality:
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality,[c] wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving,[d] unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. [Romans 1: 18 – 32 NKJV. Emphasis Mine]
Here is where a homosexual will do one of two things (sometimes both):
1. They will find some deviant scholar that will say some hogwash that the Scripture is not talking about homosexuality; or
2. Notice the passage “deserving of death” and rant on that Western Culture has moved on from such medieval practices.
In addressing number one only a moron would interpret phrases like “women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature” or “Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful” as not addressing homosexuality.
In addressing number two the phrase “deserving of death” is for different than the Old Testament judgment of “death.”
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination” (Lev. 18: 22 NKJV).
“If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.” (Lev. 20: 13 NKJV)
I am not Jewish thus I cannot attest to the modern interpretation of these Scriptures in Judaism; however in a Christian perspective these Scriptures are part of the Law. Christ came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it (Matt. 5: 17 – 20) and in fulfilling it those who believe in the risen Lord are no longer under the penalty of the Law but are under Grace (Rom. 10: 4; Gal. 3: 23 – 29; Eph. 2: 11 - 22).
On the other hand Grace is not a license to sin (which includes more than just a homosexual lifestyle but all lifestyles contrary to the Word of God).
Romans 6: 12 – 23 nails it as far as homosexuality or any lifestyle that sets out to contradict a Christian Biblical lifestyle.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NKJV)
Grace covers the penalty of death in this life but does not absolve the consequences of the Law if a sin lifestyle separates one from God thus reawakening the curse of the Law. The curse of the Law has “reaping and sowing” consequences either in this life or in the life after death at the Last Judgment.
In ending my response to “Gay Pride’s” Comment, homosexuals walk a dangerous line in this Life because Grace and Forgiveness is always available if one calls on the Name of Christ as Lord even to one’s last breath. As to bigotry, homosexuals and the supporters of a homosexual lifestyle are the true bigots because in flouting the Grace and Holiness of God they are in essence acting in prejudice against Christians.
Here is a classic example of the homosexual agenda exploiting the belief that homosexuality is an immoral practice by using anti-discrimination or hate crimes laws to PUNISH a business that declined to do a photo opt for a same-sex marriage. The State Government is using anti-discrimination laws to prevent the free exercise of religion as protected under the First Amendment to protect the practice of a horrible disgusting lifestyle in which the Bible believing Christians find sinful.
Disgusting!
JRH 4/14/08
What if homosexuals staged a huge promotion of that sexual lifestyle choice, and no one came to see it? That's exactly what a coalition of organizations is proposing for April 25, this year's "Day of Silence," which is sponsored in public schools across the nation to promote homosexuality. "'Day of Silence' is about coercing students to repudiate traditional morality. It's time for Christian parents to draw the line – if your children will be exposed to this DOS propaganda in their school, then keep them home for the day," he said.
This is another example of the State battling Faith and Christian American foundations in particular. Talk about a joint agenda, this is the will of atheists, homosexuals, secular humanists, moral relativists and Leftists in America and in Western Society. The agenda is to scrap Judeo-Christian based morality. I am certain many of those agenda persuasion sorts are unaware of the damage to social mores this is causing. The more the government removes Judeo-Christian values from our society the more our society becomes untrusting, dishonest, violent, thieving and hedonistic. Is that an America we wish to live in?

A majority of Americans view Homosexuality as an immoral practice; however Homosexual Agenda Activists have been slowly eroding that majority. Of the majority that views Homosexuality as immoral, growing numbers ironically are beginning to view that Homosexuals should equal rights as Heterosexuals. For me this is a moral/immoral American paradox that I feel is highly influenced by a Secular Humanist agenda of removing and denigrating Christian Values as the bedrock of American society.
Even I, a confirmed homophobe, am beginning to wonder where to draw the line on what is acceptable and unacceptable according to the U.S. Constitution on the Freedom of thought or expression.
I clearly believe the creators of the American Constitution would be horrified at the acceptance of Homosexual and Alternate Lifestyles acceptable in American Society today. It is also clear a significant majority of the Founding Fathers including the Liberals favorite – Thomas Jefferson – would be abhorrent that black slaves have received full manumission with an ever growing enlightened equality of Constitutional civil rights.
As much as I hate to say it, the Left has done some great things for America along the lines of civil rights. That is the greatness of the American Republic style of Democracy. The right thing always seems to manifest even if it is difficult road.
Nonetheless for every good thing the Left has accomplished there also seems to be a price that degenerates America’s moral absolutes causing a slow whirlpool of sinking values that in the late 20th century and early 21st century seems to weaken the nature of what has made America great by blurring what is good and what is wrong.
That “blurring” is the elimination by the Left of Christian Morality as the standard of right and wrong in American society. The blur is even now increasing because of the push for multiculturalism to override what has been America’s National Motto: E Pluribus Unum – Out of the many, one.
The Multicultural push by the Left will create a divisive America in which citizens will demand their cultural heritage to supersede the Constitutional Rule of Law; e.g. Sharia Law by Muslims, Relativism by atheists, the establishment of multiple languages such as Spanish or Arabic to be a part of legal documentation or public signage and so forth.
E Pluribus Unum will be eliminated in favor of a divisive and ultimately an inward destructiveness of Ex plures, divortium - Out of the many, division.
I write all this to make this observation: The Barack Hussein Obama campaign website has an open letter [In case of removal click HERE] to the homosexual activist organization – LGBT – “assuring them he believes in ‘full equality’ for homosexuals and stating that, unlike Sen. Hillary Clinton, he advocates the complete repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act.” (WND)
Since a majority of Americans consider homosexuality to be an immoral lifestyle, a vote for Obama is a vote for immorality. Does America need more immorality?
JRH
O my God! The University of Michigan literal has a class for credit which teaches “How to be Gay: Male Homosexuality and Initiation.”
This is what I am talking about that there is SICK homosexual agenda is part of the greater Secular Humanism agenda to deviate traditional morality in America.
How is it gotten away with? Simple: homosexual agendas and Secular Humanism agendas are viewed as non-religious so the tax payers are forced to have their college age children brainwashed that counter-culture values are relatively normal.
Christian morality is prohibited in public colleges for two reasons: 1) a majority of the Professors are Left leaning supporters Secular Humanism and cultural transformation. 2) The Left has made darn sure that tax payer money is NOT spent on anything to with Christianity at public supported institutions.
Notice I said “Christianity” and not “Religion?”
The hypocrisy of Christophobia will allow Public Schools and Universities to teach non-Christian religions in the name of multiculturalism. So you kid could be expelled for sharing the Bible and expelled for not completing assignments on the Quran ALL on the public dime. 
A pro-homosexual lifestyle commenter once asked, “How can I see any difference between a homosexual couple and a heterosexual couple?” The pro-homosexual commenter said homosexuals are just as loving and nurturing as any heterosexual couple. The commenter continued, “If the goals of soul mates are the same - whether homosexual or heterosexual, how could I denigrate such natural affection of a homosexual couple that experiences the same thing as a heterosexual couple?
Then I read this at Americans for Truth about Homosexuality (AFTAH) and I awoke from the influence of deadly spiritual lies.

A Note from Americans For Truth to Our Supporters
By Peter LaBarbera
December 20, 2007
Americans For Truth about Homosexuality
This post is Excerpted
They have the power, the money and the influence.
We have the Truth.
They have Hollywood and the media.
We have the Truth.
They have the schools, the universities, the professional organizations, the corporate “diversity” programs.
We have the Truth. And the simple truth is that homosexual behavior is always wrong, but it can be overcome — like any sin — in a person’s life through the power of the Christ of Christmas, who came not to “condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.” (John 3:17)
You know what? I wouldn’t give up God’s Truth for all the power and money in the world.
In the last 16 months since AFTAH came on the scene as a full-time organization, we have been mocked, vilified and, well, HATED by homosexual activists as few other pro-family groups. Here’s one example from a fanatical homosexual blogger who called me “one of the most hated men in America”:
LaBarbera, a man who would bury the Constitution under six feet of damp earth, haunts us thanks to the freedom he’s allowed by that very same document. In many civilized countries, LaBarbera would be in jail for hate language that makes all other hate language seem like benign nursery rhymes.
In any case, LaBarbera has started a new website called “Republicans For Family Values.” Of course, LaBarbera is as much of a Republican (not my favorite people) as cancer is a sentient life form and LaBarbera is as familiar with family values and values overall as you and I are familiar with why Peter LaBarbera’s mother hasn’t killed herself out of embarrassment.
Such cruel slanders come with the territory, from lost souls who project their own hatred for God and His values onto those of us who “agree with God,” and who are merely doing our best to uphold godly values in the culture — against a multi-faceted “gay” lobby that spends far more in promoting homosexuality than all the pro-family groups combined do in opposing it.
Yes, they call us “pornographers” because we expose the unique, vanguard role of the homosexual lobby in promoting shocking public indecency and perversions like the “Folsom Street Fair,” which occurs every year in Nancy Pelosi’s own district, and which she can’t seem to condemn despite it’s unprecedented and illegal public nudity and sex acts in the streets, and its awful anti-Christian bigotry.
They say that I must be secretly “gay” – because I fight the homosexual movement.
They say that I have a homosexual bathhouse obsession — because we seek to expose and close down the resurgent homosexual sex clubs that serve as breeding grounds for deadly diseases — the same sort of clubs facilitating anonymous homo-sexual acts that helped spread AIDS in America in the first place (see Randy Shilts’ And the Band Played On).
They call us “judgmental” — because we affirm the truth that “gay (c)hristianity” mocks God and His Word — and is no more plausible than, say, ”adulterous (c)hristianity.”
The(y) despise us when we speak the truth in love that homosexual men and women can change and overcome homosexuality through the power of Jesus Christ, whose humble earthly birth we celebrate this season.
Yes, they absolutely HATE us because we stand unapologetically against their sexual ideology as one that a holy Creator can have no part of. This “culture war” is not about us — it’s about right versus wrong, and those who, “wise in their own eyes,” would cast God and His moral law aside by calling ”evil good and good evil.” (Isaiah 5:21)
Nancy Pelosi could not have been more wrong in what she told the adoring audience of homosexual activists at the Human Rights Campaign gala: our holy and loving God cannot “bless” sin — much less a sexual sin group like HRC that spends tens of millions of dollars every year to promote homosexuality in politics and culture, even to America’s youth.
But God will “certainly bless” you when you stand for His Truth, no matter what the cost.
Will you stand with Americans For Truth today? Please prayerfully consider as generous a year-end gift as you can to AFTAH, as we prepare for another year of standing against the lies of the pro-homosexuality movement in our culture.
God bless you, and Merry Christmas!
Peter LaBarbera
Americans For Truth (http://www.americansfortruth.org/)
“For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not sent his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.” (John 3:16-19; NIV)

Is Nancy Pelosi Right? Can God ‘Bless’ America with Homosexual Activism?
[Blog Editor: This is an appeal for funds to battle the well organized and financed homosexual agenda in America.]
Can God bless homosexual activism? Nancy Pelosi thinks so. Speaking before the world’s most powerful homosexual pressure group, she said: “God has certainly blessed America with the work of the Human Rights Campaign.” Help Americans For Truth oppose such lies with a tax-deductible, year-end gift.
Recently, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) appeared before a massive fundraiser put on by the largest homosexual pressure group in the world, the Human Rights Campaign, to accept their 2007 National Equality award. In her speech — which you can watch by clicking HERE — Pelosi praised HRC “for being a powerful and positive counterbalance to the voices of hate.” Thus she confuses, as does the group that honors her, defense of marriage and the natural family — and opposition to homosexuality – with “hate.”
Here is how Speaker Pelosi ended her speech:
“Thank you, HRC. May God bless you. God has certainly blessed America with the work of the Human Rights Campaign.”
