The gay rights movement says it is about securing rights for homosexuals. They say they want what others have in our society. Fair enough, but is this really what gay rights are about in 2008 America?
Last month in Arizona, California and Florida making gay marriage legal and accepted was on the ballot. In each case, the answer was “No.”
In Arkansas the question of whether unmarried couples would be allowed to adopt children was on the ballot. The proponents of the measure were up front about their desire to use the new law to head off any future wave of gay couples adopting children in their state. Once again the answer was “No.”
The process was fair and they lost; so it’s move on and re-groups right? Wrong.
In California Gays attacked Mormons and Catholics because they worked against passage of the measure. They skipped attacking Blacks, but that is another story.
The truth is militant Gays don’t really care about being civil and following our rules. Their self-pity makes them believe they have a right to defile and destroy any institution in society to satisfy their lust for revenge.
History has pitted them against adherent Christians in most situations. This has led to Christians and anything Christian being handy targets for militant gays. Adherent Christians just won’t “fall in line” and accept the Gay lifestyle.
Consequently, Gays want to grind their Christian opposition into the dirt.
Their recent attack on E-Harmony.com, a Christian oriented heterosexual matchmaking service, makes this point. The all- gay site mypartnerperfection.com serves as matchmakers for gays. Heterosexuals would not be welcomed there.
But of course that’s just not enough. The militant gays want to bludgeon opponents into submission to satisfy their constant rage at not being us. The Obama administration will help them.

We can't let this continue.
Aren’t there gay dating web sites that could be similarly attacked for excluding heteros?
Or, how about demanding “decent” dating websites with unoffensive listings (offensive determined in the eye of the beholder?)
Fight fire with fire.
“Consequently, Gays want to grind their Christian opposition into the dirt.”
While I cannot stand the leftwing of this country, I do give them credit for one thing. They play to win. Our problem is we are shackled with political correctness and they aren’t. They attack and attack and we are afraid to open our mouths because we will be labeled as (place self pitied minority party haters here).
When someone stands up and tells them to stfu, that is when we will take back our country.
Not enough attention has been given to Neil Warren, the Focus on the Family (james Dobson) sellout.
We do not need these types of weak willed Christians:
Boy Scouts fought same homosexual law, and won in Supreme Court
E-PERVERSION.COM? Born-again Christian Dr. Neil Clark Warren and the company he founded, eHarmony.com, have capitulated to a New Jersey “sexual orientation” complaint using the state’s homosexual “rights” law– by expanding its dating service to homosexuals.
The Boy Scouts fought the same law rather than cave on their principles.
TAKE ACTION: write Warren at ncwarren@eharmony.com.
Americans For Truth sent out the following e-letter today to: Dr. Neil Clark Warren, founder of the eHarmony online dating company; eHarmony’s management team; and various pro-family groups and leaders (listed at bottom). We refer you to WorldNetDaily’s story, “eHarmony to Match ‘Gays,’” detailing the company’s capitulation to New Jersey following a “discrimination” complaint by a homosexual activist. Some excerpts from the WND story are at bottom. — Peter LaBarbera, www.aftah.org
TAKE ACTION: Contact Dr. Neil Clark Warren at ncwarren@eharmony.com. An eHarmony contact page and blog for comments can be found HERE (several management e-mails listed bounced back).

Subject: Dr. Warren et al, you sold your soul (or at least eHarmony’s)…
Importance: High
FR: Peter LaBarbera, Americans For Truth, www.aftah.org
TO: Dr. Neil Warren, founder of eHarmony, and eHarmony’s Management:
Dr. Warren et al, you sold your soul (or at least eHarmony’s)…
… It is a shame that you chose not to follow the lead of the Boy Scouts of America .....................................by standing up for your legal rights as a moral company that believes in REAL marriage – one that would not promote homosexuality and ungodly, unhealthy relationships. (You will recall that the Scouts, too, were challenged under New Jersey’s “sexual orientation” law, but New Jersey was overruled by the U.S. Supreme Court.) I suppose this means you have now officially joined the list of Companies Promoting Immorality (CPI) – a growing list, indeed. How tragic that eHarmony’s resources – and your good name — will be used to advance the cause of homosexual behavior, a changeable sin.
You could have set an example to Christians and freedom-loving Americans everywhere by fighting on principle for your company’s First Amendment right not to be bullied into submission by a politically correct state bureaucracy. Instead, you capitulated. In addition to hurting the cause of Christianity, you have damaged the cause of freedom and particularly religious freedom in America .
It appears that eHarmony is no longer a “match” for Integrity.
Your attorney told WoldNetDaily that eHarmony “spent three years defending against this proceeding …It was a burden in terms of the high costs of litigation and the time and resources management devoted to it.”
Do you know what is a far greater burden?
Forcing Americans bit by bit to lose their liberty by abandoning their faith and moral creed to appease modern, worldly notions of sexuality — in which behavior once universally regarded as sinful is now a mere “orientation” and the basis for “civil rights.”
Evidence that homosexuality is a behavior — and not an “identity” — issue can be found in the many ex-gays and ex-lesbians who have found freedom from homosexuality through Christ — and true love and marriage with a member of the opposite sex.
I would like a written response giving your justification for now promoting relationships that you, Dr. Warren, (presumably) at least once believed were against God’s will. But please do not try to argue that eHarmony was forced into this sellout, because you could have chosen a brave and noble course of resistance rather than submit to state tyranny.
I will join other pro-family organizations in encouraging singles to use other dating services that have not sold out their God and their moral beliefs for the almighty dollar.
Sincerely,
Peter LaBarbera
President, Americans For Truth about Homosexuality

Income envy, faith envy, hetero envy.
Where does it end?
Liberals are drowning souls, grasping at the ankles of those who can swim.
The men of Issachar (1 Chr 12:32)
were an important component of David’s team. They possessed three exceptional and essential qualities. They “understood the times” - they were men of accurate perception and penetrating analysis.
They “knew what Israel should do” - they were gifted with vision, and shaped their vision into a coherent strategy.
And they had passion. They had energy. They had enthusiasm. From the record of Chronicles, that passion was contagious, and Israel went from strength to strength as the nation was at last ignited by these relatively unknown men of Issachar, and as the nation was blessed by David’s extraordinary leadership.
KEYS TO THEIR SUCCESS
Where did this uncommon strength and amazing success come from? I discern five positive themes in the Chronicler’s narrative: faithfulness (10:13); unity (11:1); godliness (11:9; cf 11:10; 12:17, 38); teamwork (12:22); and radical dependence on a great God (11:10; 12:18, 23).
That generation stood at a crossroads and had to decide for or against God. Did they know and love God? Did they understand the times and know what Israel should do?
Did they possess the perception, vision and passion modelled by the men of Issachar? Did they have the guts to live by the costly values of faithfulness, unity, godliness, teamwork, and radical dependence on a great God?
Do we? Or do we fall tragically, and shamefully, and fatally short of the holy standard God sets for us? Who are our “men of Issachar”? What are they telling us? What are we doing about it?
Is our experience as a church of Jesus Christ reflected in the words of 1 Chronicles 10:1, or 11:4-5?
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
Will you develop your gift of spiritual leadership? Will you bear the burden of spiritual leadership? Will you help and encourage and pray for those who do?
Will you be faithful to God? Will you commit yourself to unity among God’s people? Will you live a godly life? Will you set aside personal agendas and pride to become an effective team player? Will you, like those people long ago, trust and exercise a radical dependence on a great and awesome God?
Your church, and your world, and your God are waiting for you to say a decisive “Yes!” And to see what amazing and unimagined things this great and awesome God will do through you!
Wht the hell do they need with a dating service?
Is the public restroom down the street not producing the required amount of sexual contacts for them?
E-Harmony is not “a Christian oriented heterosexual matchmaking service.”
They are a money-making enterprise. Neil Clark Warren was just looking for an excuse to get into the gay market, so he could make more money. This lawsuit was his excuse.
E-Harmony is all about money. Period.
Just to be clear, Neil Clark Warren has nothing to do with Focus on the Family, and hasn’t for many years. He despises James Dobson, and only used him to get E-Harmony off the ground.
Sodom and Gomorrah!!
Even so Lord Jesus, Come Quickly!
10-4, but he claims to be Born Again. This kind of weak willed, spineless type of men we do not need.
Another spineless jellyfish. Dr. Neil Warren.
The homosexual movement will aquire all they want and more. Just as the socialists and marxists have and will.
The reason is simple, conservatives are not organized and really don’t give a crap about any issue to the point of getting off their butts and protesting or anything other than whining, blogging.
What did conservatives do concerning nationalizing any thing in this country the last 50 years? NOTHING!
And to make matters worse the people conservatives elect vote in more socialism.
The CRA bill in 1999 was passed by a REPUBLICAN controlled congress and set us on the course we have recently arrived at.
Our government IS bankrupt, as in NO MONEY.
Most gay people I know (and I know a few) want nothing to do with the sort of radical activism being advanced by political operatives in their name. The difference is between a simple desire for acceptance and an aggressive demand for approval.
I’m actually pretty neutral on this issue, not because I support gay marriage but because I dislike people passing laws telling other citizens what they can or cannot do.
We should all be realistic enough to understand that someday, probably soon with Obama in charge, the Supreme Court will likely rule, as they did in the Texas sodomy case, that different rules for different people violates the Constitution. Bans like this may actually serve to expedite that process, and serve a role opposite the one intended.
Personally, I would agree with most that homosexual marriage makes a mockery of the process... But so does Jerry Springer, and I can’t think of a valid Constitutional argument for disallowing white trash OR homosexuals from marriage. Whether or not that’s a slippery slope, I guess the underlying issue is how much power to regulate citizen behavior the government (or even our fellow citizens) should have. That, too, is a slippery slope.
It is time for civil disobedience. I am not a business owner, but I am a Navy chaplain from a conservative Christian background. I will never cave in to immorality. Not ever, so long as God gives me the strength and grace to stand. If forced to do so the government can let me go. I am not a business owner and fully understand if eHarmoney complies at the end of the day—though I’d be disapointed. As for me and my house, I hope I would have the nerve to allow the chips to fall where they may by never ever allowing immoral homosexuals to taint my business, even if it meant being sued into bankruptcy or forced to close. I will never shut my mouth. The day may come where the DOD will attemp to force me to accept gay couples in the military. I will never perform a gay marriage or do any kind of marital counseling for a homosexual couple—unless they desired repentence. So be it. Take my house. I’ll live in a tent. Take my car, I’ll ride a bike. But I will never cace in to these godless immoral lunatics so long as I live. God help me.
E-Harmony did not have to settle this case.
What they can’t own they will destroy.
When they came for our children as young as kindergarten, you gave into them and allowed them to inculcate their minds with perverted filth.
When they took over government positions and insinuated their perverted agenda into our laws and culture, you acquiesced.
When they pervaded the media with films and books glorifying perversion, you let their propaganda into your homes.
Exactly what did we think was going to happen????
