THOUGHT POLICE ACTIVE IN CANADA WEB SITE ORDERED SHUT DOWN FOR OFFENDING HOMOSEXUALS By David M. Bresnahan August 25, 2002 NewsWithViews.com OTTAWA, Canada -- The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT) Tuesday ordered an Internet site to cease publishing information offensive to homosexuals. Canada protects homosexuality as a lifestyle. Clergy and others have been cited for speaking out against homosexuality. The current action by the Tribunal may be seen by homosexual activists as a clear signal that opposition to homosexuality on the Internet can be stopped in Canada. The Tribunal ordered John Micka, as well as Machiavelli and Associates Emprize Inc.,...

ASSOCIATE PASTOR TELLS WHY ABORTION CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR IS A PARISIONER IN GOOD STANDING: Many people have come to me in the two weeks just past to ask about television ads which point out that Ms. Granholm, our sister, is pro choice. The concern has come from a mistaken notion that being pro choice is equal to being pro abortion. However, choice is part of the very foundation of our Catholic Christian Community. There are some who would gloss over theological reflection for the sake of emotion; these people often end up persecuting other brothers and sisters through their ignorance....

New York City could become the first jurisdiction in America to apply the word “marriage” to gay and lesbian unions, a move that would shatter a taboo in the legislation of homosexual relationships. The City Council is expected to vote to approve a bill Thursday that would give formal recognition to “members of a marriage that is not recognized by the state of New York, domestic partnership, or civil union, lawfully entered into in another jurisdiction.” Courts in Vermont and Hawaii have forced states to recognize same-sex unions, but the legislatures have danced around the word “marriage.” Those decisions have...

In a tactical misstep, Mayor Michael Bloomberg boasted inaccurately Friday that the City Council speaker supports his sweeping new anti-smoking bill. The legislative leader, Gifford Miller, later emphasized he has yet to back it. Bloomberg's latest turn against smoking is far-reaching and would make it illegal to light up even in workplaces, which now have designated smoking areas. The bill would also apply to outdoor cafes, where smoking is currently permitted.

MIAMI · The lights are dim. The video is playing. The sights and sounds are explicit: Men arm in arm, with whips ands chains -- gyrating and simulating gay sex. "Look at them!" says Nathaniel Wilcox, pointing at the images from San Francisco's Gay Pride Parade on his TV screen. "You think I'm not going to fight against that coming to Miami-Dade?"

Noble Masculinity To rescue families, Pastor Robert Lewis is calling men and fathers to a higher standard. An Interview with Robert Lewis The most obvious thing in Robert Lewis's office is the sword. The pastor's desk and shelves of commentaries are standard issue. The large photos of his four children hugging Minnie Mouse and the family in a raft shooting the rapids are warming, but expected. Not the sword. It demands to be examined. A full three feet long, it looks like Excaliber, the sword Arthur pulled from the stone, thereby becoming king. "The men gave that to me," he...

(AgapePress) - The chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court says he supports a court decision that denied child custody rights to a woman because she is a lesbian. Chief Justice Roy Morre -- in an opinion backing the unanimous decision -- said the homosexual conduct of a parent "creates a strong presumption of unfitness that alone is sufficient justification for denying that parent custody of his or her own children or prohibiting the adoption of the children of others." His opinion continued: "In this case there is undisputed evidence that the mother of the minor children not only dated...

Normalization of Pedophilia Growing, Experts SayBy Steve Jordahl, correspondent Americans are accepting a more liberal — and previously unthinkable — notion of sexuality. The next taboo to fall might be the sexual exploitation of children.In what is described as a dangerous trend, Carson Holloway of the University of Nebraska believes the normalization of pedophilia is emerging as a topic of discussion among the academic elite."There is some evidence of some effort to normalize pedophilia — or sexual relations between adults and children — in certain literary circles and maybe certain realms of science and social commentary," Holloway said. According to...

Monticello Times | June 27, 2002 Gay Couple Receive 10 Year Sentence For Sexually Abusing Monticello Boy By Patty Wooten A Drew County jury convicted a gay couple of sexual abuse Wednesday, rejecting defense claims that Lewis Ray and Tim Murphy were not temporary caretakers of the 16-year-old boy they abused. The panel of nine women and three men deliberated just over an hour before finding Ray and Murphy guilty of first degree sexual abuse. Following the recommendation of the jury, Circuit Judge Bynum Gibson sentenced the two men to 10 years in prison fined them $5,000 each. They faced...

One of the fastest growing churches among homosexuals in America and around the world is the Metropolitan Community Church – a "Christian" church specifically for "gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered communities." The MCC was originally started by openly homosexual ex-Baptist minister, Troy Perry, who after the discovery and disclosure of his homosexuality, losing his license as a minister, a divorce and estrangement from his wife and children, as well as a failed suicide attempt, "rediscovered" his rainbow-colored vocation and ministry. From his Los Angeles living room in 1968, Perry and his initial 12 members began their "gay church." According to...

It's a brave new world at your local Big Brothers Big Sisters office. As of this month, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBBSA) will require that all 500 of its local affiliates include active homosexuals as volunteers and mentors to children. Many parents who support Big Brothers Big Sisters may be surprised to learn that their child could soon be paired with a gay or lesbian mentor. In fact, parents whose children are enrolled in the organization's school-based programs will not even be told when their son or daughter is matched with a gay man or a lesbian woman....

What kind of man is this? He is fastidious about his appearance, his home and his possessions. He wants as much sex as possible and chooses sexual partners mostly on the basis of appearance. He is self-absorbed and doesn&acute;t want emotional involvement or commitment. He thinks a woman would stifle him and children would be a burden. Does this sound like gay behavior? It is also the masculine ideal purveyed by Playboy magazine to men since the 1950&acute;s. At the End of Time, when they open the envelope labeled &#147;What is the essence of manhood?&#148; I suspect it will ...

For over thirty years we have been indoctrinated by some politicians and most of the national media that ‘the separation of church and state´ is part of the U.S. Constitution, and that it requires the removal of all references to God from the public arena, or consideration of His principles. Both are bald-faced lies, spawned by those who would dismantle this republic for their own idealistic, though deadly, purposes. As supporting evidence of that claim, I offer here but a small sample of what the Founding Fathers thought about G-d and religion. With apologies to Tom Brokaw, those who...

In response to my recent column, "Why I'm not a liberal," a reader accuses me of being "intolerant." "I think you are intolerant of those whose politics differ with you," writes Scott Mitchell, a proud liberal. "Intolerance" is an epithet for liberals. For me, it's a compliment. I am intolerant. I'm intolerant of evil. That's a good thing. Tolerance of evil would be evil. I'm intolerant of Americans who don't want to live within the confines of our constitutional system. That's a good thing. Tolerance of unlawful behavior and the rule of men rather than the rule of law would...

NEW ORLEANS -- Homophobia is not an actual phobia, according to three University of Arkansas psychologists. In a recent study, these researchers showed that homophobia originates not out of fear or anxiety -- as true phobias do -- but from feelings of disgust. The UA researchers also found close associations between homophobic tendencies and concerns about contamination as well as conservative views about sexuality in general. Their findings suggest a social, attitudinal basis for homophobia rather than a psychopathological one, as the term itself implies. "If you can identify the underlying emotions of certain attitudes and behaviors, you can better...

<p>A year ago a guy came into my office and said that he wanted to connect with the local gay community.</p> <p>He is a person with a disability and finds it hard to make connections to the community. One of the things we did was start a support group for people like us --people with disabilities who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and/or transgender.</p>
