Whatever the struggles in defense of natural families, chaste sex and pure love, the pro-family movement has usually been able to find natural allies in the churches. But now the churches themselves are under unprecedented stress, both from outside and from within -- and homosexual filmmakers are exploiting this division among Christians.
The 12-day “Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Film Festival,” known as OutFest, began on July 12 and ends July 23. The festival showcases a five-film series, "Queers in Christ," which focuses on homosexual themes involving Christians and their churches. The movies attempt not so much a political as a theological or spiritual claim: that God says “Gay is OK,” and the churches ought to follow suit.

Ping to Mrs Don-o article. Freepmail me to be added or removed.
Sad and ironic at a time when the Christian Church in its many branches are under attack.
Liberals will say anything to advance their cause of sexual immorality.
I guess Christianity should revolve around not on Christ and repentance/redemption but on which method you prefer to get your genitals stimulated to the point of orgasm.
Reprobates and malignant minds indeed.
Sounds blasphemous to me.
The position of the Catholic Church is sound, scientific, plain and simple. Homosexual acts are acts of grave depravity, and are contrary to natural law. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
However, many men and women do not choose their homosexual condition; for most of them it is a trial. Unjust discrimination must be avoided. These people are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
Basically they are called to chastity.
Hmmm, yeah I was right.
These same practitioners of human sacrifice, to advance the will of Allah, stone homosexuals to death without trial, or whatever trial it is called when the local mullah declare they are to be killed. They allow a wife to be beaten to death for insubordination. They cut off the right hand of thieves, ad nauseam . . .
As far as our homosexual minority, it isn't growing. Despite all the propaganda (lies) it remains at about 2% of the total population; removing those who claim to be “bi” because they, like ‘homosexual’ dogs, will choose to be with a member of the opposite sex when given a choice.
Knowing that, queers want to be accepted as ‘normal,’ because just being accepted as homosexuals isn't enough — they have to be made to think of homosexuals as ‘normal.’ Oh, and also to get benefits from Social Security; including welfare of all classes, survivors benefits, etc., and from state and local governments who try to assist couples to raise families.
Not being ‘normal,’ they can’t naturally produce children, so they insist on having children by adoption, foster care, so that they can present that class of child citizens to special dangers, doubts, fears, and social stigmas which attach to such relationships; from the time they are toddlers to the time they reach maturity.
Perhaps, though, on consideration the Democratics are right? Maybe we should give up and leave Iraq, then Afghanistan as they start to increase attacks there (again). Let Iran and Syria take over there, and then fight amongst themselves. Maybe they will reach a coalition of Jihad and increase attacks around the world, using inhuman sacrifice to advance the will of Allah!
That way, when they take over here, they can rearrange what is ‘normal’ and what is not. I don’t think a lot of Leftist/Democratics will survive such a shuffle of morals and principles. . . they will end up stoned for their blasphemous efforts to promote their right to free speech, and to march in queer pride parades with their units hanging out . . .
left his wife of 14 years to pursue a “more authentic and satisfying” relationship with another man.
Oh, and don't forget the typical pro homosexual agenda example of Christian hypocrisy.
Our “no cosequences” culture is killing us.
What part of “against nature” don’t they understand?
Is it just me, or is there something profoundly, blasphemously, just plain, wrong with that title?
i ask HIM that everyday
evil is so rampant
but we know the final chapter
LOOK UP!
keep the faith!
"There is nothing new under the sun".
These are the same as those who 'did evil in the sight of the Lord, and made Israel to sin', by building the high places, 'planting' [ashera] groves, making images, and calling their temple-based sexual orgy 'sacrificial' feasts 'worshipping god'...then wondered why the Lord was upset with them and the nation.
Love the sinner, not the sin.
“Queers in Christ”
Problem is, Christ is not in you.
I do think that if you read the first paragraph you’ll see this isn’t a “pro-homosexual agenda” article.
