on the last day of class for seniors at St. Thomas Aquinas in Dover, New Hampshire, soon-to-be graduates carry a flag in support of the school's LGBTQ community and four teachers whose contracts were not renewed. Though the Manchester Diocese and school have refuted the claim, many say the staffing decision was made because the four educators identify with or support the LGBTQ community. (NCR screenshot/Saints Shame-St. Thomas Aquinas Facebook group) Students beamed and parents snapped innumerable photos as the class of 2023 graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas High School May 20 in Dover, New Hampshire. But rainbow ribbons pinned...

The implementation of LGBT ideology in the public school system, assisted by the takeover of the entertainment industry and the pushing of progressive politicians, has been phenomenally successful by any standard. When my first book The Culture War came out in 2016, less than five percent of the population identified as LGBT. That acronym has lengthened and scrambled (and will certainly continue to do so) as students are handed scores of sexual and gender identities that they can choose from, with the only boring and uncelebrated identity being “cisgender” or “heteronormative.” (“Cisgender,” according to trans activists, refers to someone who...

Official flag flying days to promote ‘key’ LGBT events feature prominently in a schedule recently issued by the Scottish Government.

Moscow, September 13, Interfax - A ban on LGBT propaganda may be discussed at State Duma hearings in October or November, and a respective bill is practically ready, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said.

Then, we will adopt the bill if you support it," Volodin said at the opening of the State Duma session on Tuesday.

Three of the four Republicans running for Congress in Iowa either voted for or publicly said they would have voted for H.R. 8404, a bill that codifies homosexual marriage, repeals the Defense of Marriage Act, would force Iowa to recognize whatever California or New York considers marriage and threatens the tax exempt status for churches and ministries that hold to a biblical understanding of marriage.

It probably shouldn't surprise anyone that denizens of the 4Chan anonymous bulletin board claim to have hacked into Hunter Biden's cellphone cloud account and are busy posting its pervy pictures. According to the Washington Examiner: The contents of Hunter Biden's iCloud account have allegedly been hacked by users of the 4chan community, who posted screenshots purported to be from his phone and computer on the website's main political forum late Saturday night.

An angry and emotional Mayor Lori Lightfoot admonished a handful of African American aldermen Wednesday for “demonizing” the gay community and said the “pie is big enough to slice it in lots of other ways.” The mayor’s impassioned plea was followed by a standing ovation and a 47-1 vote to launch a study that could lay the groundwork for creating contract set-asides for gay- and transgender-owned businesses in Chicago. African American aldermen led by Black Caucus Chairman Jason Ervin (28th) and Ald. Walter Burnett (27th) voiced concern earmarking contracts for gay business owners could pave the way for “privileged white...

In the book of Revelation, there is Rev 2:9 and Rev 3:9. In both, there is a reference to the Synagogue of Satan. Basically, those who are part of the Synagogue of Satan claim to be Jewish but are not Jewish. In terms of the Bible, Christians believe that Christianity is the true belief that God wants us to follow. Jesus the Christ is the head of that Church. By corrupting that belief, Satan has followers of the Synagogue of Satan. In true Christianity, abortion is a horrible sin as is the followers of LBGTQ. There are those SECULAR leaders...

Virtually every week, there seems to be another issue that preoccupies the country. But while our attention is focused on President Donald Trump, Google, Charlottesville, Russia, impeachment, Jeffrey Epstein, the next elections, racism, a trade war with China, the #MeToo movement or something else, LGBTQ organizations are quietly going about their work dismantling ethical norms, making a mockery of education, ruining innocent people's lives and destroying children's innocence. If you think this is overstated, here are some examples:The LGBTQ Dismantling of Women's SportsLast month, a transgender weightlifter won multiple gold medals at the 2019 Pacific Games in Samoa.

The Bill and Controversy The Kansas legislature just passed a bill that will protect Catholic Charities’ right to provide adoptions pursuant to Catholic teaching. Catholic Charities is now permitted to continue to arrange adoptions for traditionally married men and women in Kansas. This is a very important religious issue to Catholics, who believe that each member of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer... (LBGTQ) community is sacred and worthy of love, respect and civil rights, but that their activities are not in line with God's plan for children and the family.

July 18, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — For 12 years before the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex "marriage" in 2015, I wrote and lectured extensively on why this development would be fraught with peril. I even recorded a three CD set on the topic for Catholic Answers in 2011. As the General Counsel for the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) in California, I also campaigned extensively for the passage of Proposition 8. This State Constitutional Amendment passed with a majority vote in liberal California, as did similar ones in 30 other states. Yet, by a mere vote of 5-4, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down all of those state...
