Born in Middlesbrough, she now lives in North London with...

The Simpsons has announced plans to feature a same sex "marriage." I think we can all agree that showing this kind of stuff to kids only encourages a lifestyle that is most unhealthy. Showing any sexuality to kids promotes promiscuity in grade school children and this goes a step further. Children should receive their moral education from parents, not from Hollywood. Young minds are extremely impressionable and putting this stuff in a cartoon show targets children by seeking to change their understanding of normal and healthy, something which needs to be left to parents. What's even more dangerous is that...

The New Politically Driven All-American Family SAN FRANCISCO - For 10 years, Bryan Nadeu strutted in the Gay Pride parade as part of a marching band, hammering out a beat on a drum while wearing a rainbow-plumed hat. But that was B.F. - Before Fatherhood. Now, with a 14-month-old toddler in tow, he has other things to worry about while preparing for today's San Francisco parade: Baby backpack or stroller? Will there be diaper-changing stations? And how should he retreat if his child melts at the loud music and crowds? "It's like I'm figuring out how I can be...

CHARLOTTE, NC (AgapePress) - “You can forget trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing, with a shrug of their shoulders, then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won.” So wrote Marshall K.

Carpenter told the crowd at a recent...
