Homosexuality

George Clooney, Jamie Lee Curtis, Martin Sheen and other Hollywood celebs are to perform in a Los Angeles premiere in March of the play "8," which recreates the controversial challenge to Proposition 8 in California posed by a group of activists advocating for same-sex marriage in 2010.

Proposition 8 – or Prop. 8 – was passed in Californian in 2008, ultimately banning same-sex marriage by stating that "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." But in 2010, the law was challenged following protests from gay activists supporters in an attempt to overturn the California Supreme Court's decision. The judge in the case, a homosexual himself, did overturn Prop 8, but the decision was not yet instigated and is still under review.

Meanwhile, the battle over the defition of marriage has become the subject of a play written by Academy Award winner Dustin Lance Black – who is a member of American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER), an organization created specifically to lobby for overturning Prop 8. Black also penned "Milk," a feature film about gay activist Harvey Milk. The play, "8," is being directed by actor and director Joe Mantello, according to the production's Facebook page. more >>

Best-selling author and pastor Rick Warren, who along with his wife, Kay, have for several years championed an initiative to combat HIV/AIDS globally, are outraged that a Christian conservative radio host is promoting a college professor’s theory that HIV is a harmless virus.

Earlier this month, Bryan Fischer, who is also the director of Issues Analysis for the American Family Association, featured the author of Inventing the AIDS Virus, Peter Duesberg, on his "Focal Point" radio show. Fischer told The Christian Post that he agrees with Duesberg that HIV is not the cause of AIDS and that he came to this decision after reading the University of California, Berkley professor’s book in 1996.

He said he also agrees with Duesberg that AIDS is the result of lifestyle choices, such as drug use and promiscuity, which weaken the immune system. Duesberg says that homosexual men are at special risk since they use drugs and engage in casual sex more so than other groups. more >>

The four New York State Republican senators who in June voted in favor of passing a marriage bill that legalizes same-sex marriage in the state have been receiving significant financial support from pro-gay activists from across the nation, leaving some to speculate if money was the motivation for their votes against traditional marriage.

The four senators – Mark J. Grisanti of Buffalo, James S. Alesi of Rochester, Stephen M. Saland of Poughkeepsie and Roy J. McDonald of Saratoga County – are being hailed by pro-gay activists as setting the precedent for other Republicans to break party ranks and declare their support for same-sex marriage. According to an article from The New York Times published Jan. 17, the four representatives have been receiving a significant increase in donations since voting on the bill, called the Marriage Equality Act.

McDonald reportedly raised $447,000 within the past six months, and was famously quoted as saying that those who disapproved of his support for same-sex marriage "can take the job and shove it." more >>

The executive director of the American Family Association of Indiana isn't happy with the state's Bureau of Motor Vehicles, which recently began selling specialty license plates benefiting an organization that works with gay youth.

"I just think the state needs to be neutral in these types of things, and when you take half the funds to the plate ... and give them to a group that wants to promote homosexuality among teenagers in schools, that's ... highly controversial,” Micah Clark, executive director of the AFA of Indiana, told The Christian Post on Wednesday.

The license plate he is concerned with is one that helps Indiana Youth Group, an organization that focuses on supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth, according to the group's website. more >>

British tennis player Laura Robson has been forced to reject claims that she was making any sort of protest in favor of homosexuality Monday, after she donned a rainbow colored headband for her first round match in the Australian Open.

Gay activists expressed their delight that Robson was wearing the rainbow headband, saying that she was the latest high-profile person to offer backing to their agendas.

However, 17-year-old Laura Robson has denied claims that her choice of headwear was a gay protest. more >>

It started as a drip, drip, drip. Then the flow increased, and now it’s a gusher: The Obama Administration has decided to promote and emphasize lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered rights-and it is doing so at the expense of everyone’s God-given freedom of religion.

Those are tough words, but regrettably, true words.

In December 9, 2009 in a major address entitled, “Human Rights Agenda for the 21st Century,” Secretary of State Clinton said people “must be free to worship, associate, and to love in the way that they choose.” more >>
