GOVERNOR RENDELL TO UNVEIL MARKER HONORING THOSE WHO COMMIT ACTS OF SODOMY AT NATIONAL CELEBRATION April 28, 2005
Our Nation is in a downward spiral. Good is called evil and evil is called good. My eldest son Caleb and I have traveled to Philadelphia to speak up for righteousness during a celebration of sin hosted by Equality Forum. Please pray for the outreaches that will be taking place during this week and ask that the Father will draw the lost to Himself.
Below are several excerpts from a recent press release from Equality Forum. This sinful nation is begging the Living God to pour out His wrath upon her. May we be found taking the gospel to the lost and earnestly seeking the Father for revival.

GOVERNOR RENDELL TO UNVEIL MARKER AT NATIONAL CELEBRATION
Independence Hall Designated as Site of First Gay and Lesbian Demonstration
PHILADELPHIA, PA -- The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) has approved a Historical Marker recognizing the area around Independence Hall as the site of the first organized and annual gay and lesbian civil rights demonstration.
"We are thrilled that this important landmark has been approved unanimously by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission," said Malcolm Lazin, Executive Director of Equality Forum.
Equality Forum prepared the application with advice from Gay Pioneers Frank Kameny and Barbara Gittings, who helped organize the first demonstration. The demonstration was held at Independence Hall on July 4, 1965. Governor Rendell is expected to unveil the Historical Marker at the National Celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the GLBT Civil Rights Movement on Sunday, May 1 at Independence Hall.
The 16-hour National Celebration on Sunday, May 1 includes a Gay Pioneers & 40 Heroes Tribute, the National Celebration Concert with Cyndi Lauper, an Interfaith Service at historic Christ Church with Bishop Gene Robinson, Conversations with Gay Leaders at the National Constitution Center, screenings of Gay Pioneers, a Gay Icons Pavilion at Independence Visitors Center, celebrities, the SundayOUT street festival, and parties. There is no registration fee for Equality Forum 2005 and all substantive events including the National Celebration are free.
The National Celebration is part of Equality Forum 2005, which features over 100 programs including 14 parties and 40 special events. More than 105 local and national non-profit organizations and 29 national and international GLBT Executive Directors will be participating. Thirty-two (32) states and the District of Columbia will hold State Receptions on Saturday, April 30.
I've seen it. Driven by it several occasions. Makes for an inward chuckle.
I don't think the Founding Fathers had this in mind when they founded the country. I doubt they even know knew what a homosexual was, other than what they read in the Bible about Sodom and Gomorrah. Another strong sign of the end times.
You really have to wonder what they were thinking when the design was approved.
Oh, I think we do.... It was just ... peachy...
Philadelphia Freeedom....I LUV LUV LUV YA! Yes I do!
Something like this?
Another solid contender. LOL
No. Too much estrogen...it makes the queers jealous.
That photo gives new meaning to your tagline .
Rock, what the heck is wrong with you. You sure have little understanding of history, that is for sure. God is a living God and there will be wrath poured out on those who do things that are an abomination against God.
ping.
The United Fudgepackers of America will be represented....
You are on your game today!....and to think I got suspended from here earlier this week for, er...um..
Gonna assume it'll have a small "ten commandments" built in someplace. Or maybe just the Lord's prayer---should be appropriate in the neighborhood.
I'm not as virulenty gay-hating as many are here, but...gimme a freakin break.
This country is very rapidly coming to a confrontation about the meaning of religion and secularism. (And I'm an agnostic, btw.) Secularist beliefs can be enshrined freely because they are not religious, while religious beliefs cannot be, in the public sphere. But from my point of view, they're ALL simply...beliefs. Someday someone is going to get around to saying the sensible thing: "You guys who believe in butt sex, and you guys who think some god is against it, are BOTH 'believers'."
I have no idea what the ramifications of this will be, but this kind of thing makes a joke of that "separation of church and state" crap. What that separation is about is making sure there is no state-backed religion--something I agree with.
But something like this shows that such separation in terms of public events, public officials attending such events, etc. is a lie we all agree to live by.
What is the difference between what Rendell is doing, and, say, a president attending a religious event and APPROVING of the practices of those who created the event?
Answer: Nothing. Except that no one would ever suggest Rendell is supporting religion with his attendence...BUT he IS supporting a BELIEF (that gay sex is a great thing).
And that's what religion is.
I'm not taking a side on this, merely pointing out that the religious in this religious/secular battle merely need to codify the conflict to show that these Dems who support all kinds of secular BELIEFS are violating the spirit of that "separation of church and state" theme they so love every time they support such (non-religious) cultural events.
Thanks. I'm only trying to stay on topic.
RE: "Rock, what the heck is wrong with you. You sure have little understanding of history, that is for sure. God is a living God and there will be wrath poured out on those who do things that are an abomination against God."
If wishing death and suffering on your innocent fellow man because of what hole they choose to screw is not an abominations to your version of God, then you might as well just give up and worship Allah the murderous.
Let me know when you want to stop babbling on about Sodom and whatever and start talking about America (where we are not legally bound to follow the scriptures of one particular religion over another like fundamentalist loonies like you would like).
