Obama Says Foes of Homosexuality Hold Fast to ‘Worn Arguments and Old Attitudes’: "That’s how President Obama describes the thinking of millions upon millions of Americans who oppose homosexual behavior and relationships. At a recent Oval Office ceremony, President Obama shakes the hand of Frank Kameny — a hero to homosexual activists.... Kameny smears Christian conservatives as 'Christianofascists' and says 'gay is godly,' even though he’s an atheist." Transcript next:

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT AT LGBT PRIDE MONTH RECEPTION (June 29): "...this struggle, I don't need to tell you, is incredibly difficult, although I think it's important to consider the extraordinary progress that we have made. There are unjust laws to overturn and unfair practices to stop. And though we've made progress, there are still fellow citizens, perhaps neighbors or even family members and loved ones, who still hold fast to worn arguments and old attitudes; who fail to see your families like their families; and who would deny you the rights that most Americans take for granted. ... I've called on Congress to repeal the so-called Defense of Marriage Act to help end discrimination.... I'm also urging Congress to pass the Domestic Partners Benefits and Obligations Act, which will guarantee the full range of benefits, including health care, to LGBT couples and their children."

Kids Gone Wild: "While Vermont is coddling child predators, it is also sending a message to kids: Hey, you can do pretty much whatever you want. Somewhat incredibly, the Vermont senate has passed a bill decriminalizing consensual 'sexting.' That is the process where children send sexual pictures of themselves to other children using cell phones or computers.... If American children are legally allowed to send explicit pictures of themselves to other kids, then say goodbye to traditional boundaries of behavior." See Moral, Spiritual & Cultural Corruption

Human Trafficking – Modern Day Slavery in Canada: "Human trafficking is defined as a 'multibillion dollar criminal industry that involves the recruitment, transportation, harbouring, or delivery of people for the purpose of slavery, sexual exploitation, and forced labour.'...

· Humans are the second most trafficked 'product' in the black market, surpassed only by drugs.

· According to the RCMP, 800 to 1200 people are trafficked in and through Canada every year

· 2200 men, women, and children, are trafficked into America from Canada every year. Canada is considered a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of prostitution and forced labour.

· In Canada a girl can be sold for $15,000 and earn her owner over $40,000 a year." See Depravity

Porn producer's pitch brings free flick to UC Davis: "Today's college students have virtually unlimited access to pornography on their computers. Many see nothing thrilling about an X-rated movie on campus. UC Davis administrators aren't objecting, saying the university doesn't censor student events....

      "The movie – reportedly the most expensive porn film ever made – combines computer-generated images with hardcore sex scenes. ....The screenings generate publicity and sell a few copies of the movie, Ruth said. But the larger point is to get young people accustomed to seeing adult movies as mainstream entertainment.... 'It's our social responsibility to make a disclaimer before the movie to talk about the difference between porn fantasy and reality.... When it comes to porn, there's not enough conversation between two people." See Moral Corruption

I Found God in Soviet Russia Chapter 17: Life Among the Godless: "These Soviet youth camps are not conducted for recreation but involve hard work by young 'volunteers' ... There is marked relaxation of sexual restraints in this atmosphere and many illegitimate children are born from the casual couplings of such summer youth camp excursions. The Soviet state provides for the offspring who are taken into state orphanages where, removed from all modifying influences of family life, the children are raised to be zealous, dedicated Communists. Quite a few MVD agents are recruited from among the graduates of such state orphanages. They have no ties but their loyalty to the State, no allegiance to God or family, no principles to stand in the way of their performing any assignment given them.

      "...children are also taught in school that they must constantly be on the lookout for 'reactionaries' and, further, must report any neighbor who talks against Communism or acts suspiciously, even if this may come to involve their own parents."

Jury Vindicates Four Firefighters Forced to Participate in San Diego’s 'Gay Pride' Parade: "In July 2007, the four San Diego firefighters were ordered, against their wishes, to participate in uniform on their city fire engine in San Diego’s annual “Gay Pride” parade. During the... three hour long ordeal, the firefighters were subjected to vile sexual taunts and gestures along the parade route. These firemen are devoted husbands and fathers. All four firemen are Christian men. ...'This is a victory for all people who are willing to stand up for what is right...'" See Warnings.

Girl Accused of Seeking Hit on Father: "A 15-year-old Hagerstown girl suspected of being part of a clique of teens who liked to suck one another's blood approached a friend on a crowded high school bus in October and asked him to kill her father, prosecutors say.  ...she told the friend, a male classmate, that he could find her father at 5 a.m., climbing into the work truck he parked in the alley behind their rowhouse. And that was where, on Halloween morning, her father's body was found in a pool of blood. He had been stabbed repeatedly in the head and neck. This week, the girl was ordered held without bond on charges of soliciting murder....

    'The only thing he had a problem with was his daughter and her group of friends,' Dunlap said. They were a goth 'crew, sucking each other's blood, cutting each other.' ...On his MySpace page yesterday, the victim's 20-year-old son described himself as 'lost for words': 'I love you dad and miss you, you are the best father anyone could ask for. may God watch over you now.'"

Haggard blames abuse for sex scandal: "Disgraced evangelical pastor Ted Haggard says he was sexually abused as a child. He says the abuse led to the sex scandal that forced him out of his job and leadership role in the evangelical movement." See Moral and Cultural Corruption

Sex and the Olympics: "...The women, too, seemed in thrall to their hormones, throwing around daring glances and dynamite smiles like confetti. No meal or coffee break was complete without a breathless conversation with a lithe long jumper from Cuba or an Amazonian badminton player from Sweden, the mutual longing so evident it was almost comical.... There may have been a fair amount of gay sex going on, too - but given the notorious homophobia in sport it was rather more covert....

     "...for most athletes, the village is thousands of miles from home.... There is something deep-seated in humanity that leads us to play by different rules whenever we leave town.... When it comes to sex, it simply means that those in relationships no longer recognise, or at least ignore, the boundaries of fidelity and honesty that underpin human monogamy. Philosophers call it moral relativism; the rest of us call it hypocrisy."

As Latin Nations Treat Gays Better, Asylum Is Elusive: "Quietly over the past 14 years, gay men and lesbians from Mexico have sought -- and received -- political asylum in the United States based on their sexual orientation and the argument that the culture of 'machismo' in their country has sometimes put homosexuals there in danger....  'But there's been a turning point. The gay rights movement has started to make progress in Mexico, and it's a little harder to show' that asylum is warranted.... Many gays feel they have to have a wife for appearances."

 ...the center of circus-like atmosphere during international AIDS conference: "...this is like a circus. There's everything here -- free condoms, all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff.' [Wooding] asked Grant: 'What is a respectable Christian ministry doing in the middle of all this?' Grant responded: "I think this is just exactly where we should be -- it's great to be in an environment where there are so many different views.... ...this is a chance for the Church to be changed in terms of our judgmental attitudes and in terms of the stigma that we address towards people with living with HIV..."

Signs of the Times. XVII International AIDS Conference in Mexico City: "It is a kind of never-ending street theater of protesters all trying to be more outrageous and louder than the previous group. ... I’ve just seen a group of 'sex workers' chanting for more rights, with some of them women wearing necklaces made of condoms.

    "...a group of activists interrupted former president Bill Clinton’s speech as he was saying, 'AIDS is a very big dragon.... [T]his dragon must be slain by millions and millions of foot soldiers.' The former president remained unfazed as a silent crowd of demonstrators holding banners calling for housing for people with HIV walked in front of the podium....

     "You could hardly walk a few feet in the Global Village without being handed free condoms and today I witnessed a group of Mexican Indian healers with their smoke and feathers doing their voodoo stuff for the hundreds of attendees lined up to get 'healed'....

     "Rick and Kay Warren... are also here and have been deeply involved with the conference and even put on a special event yesterday to address the issue of global partnership ventures to help people living with HIV/AIDS. 'We are at this conference because we think this is where the Church ought to be,' Rick Warren said."

Is it any wonder people are fleeing London? "In a north London suburb last week, a schoolgirl was beaten, gang-raped and then had drain-cleaning fluid poured on her body apparently to destroy DNA evidence. In the eternal cesspit of senseless urban crime, I feel that a dreadful nadir of sorts has been reached, a benchmark of slaked lust and casual, sadistic cruelty. Police sources say the 16-year-old will never fully recover from the injuries. .. her life ruined by these savages, who hunted in a pack like animals....

     "...some Muslim enclaves were 'no-go areas' for Christians, it all seems to suggest a country that is becoming increasingly fragmented; a patchwork of rigidly delineated little pockets of race and religion.... This is not a Britain many of us would care to recognise. ... certain sectors of the middle class are fleeing from inner London... desperate to escape the creeping spread of urban decay."

National Boycott of Fast Food Giant for Promoting Homosexuality: “McDonald’s has wisely chosen to alter its menu to promote healthy eating habits. Now it needs to examine its fiscal priorities and stop rewarding unhealthy lifestyles –– starting with an end to corporate subsidies for homosexual and transsexual behavior,' LaBarbera said. 'Homosexuality is unhealthy... 71 percent of male HIV cases in 2005 involved men who have sex with men.... And syphilis and other STD’s continue to afflict men practicing homosexuality at rates astronomically disproportionate to the rest of society.'...

     "Noting that a McDonald’s recently suggested that pro-family critics of the corporation’s homosexuality-friendly policies are guilty of 'hate,' LaBarbera said: 'Christians and... moral-minded Americans... cannot sit back while Corporate America turns them into second-class citizens by equating their traditional beliefs with ‘hate.’ Sadly, ‘diversity’ is becoming a corporate code-word for anti-Christian bigotry – forcing people of faith to imbibe politically correct ideologies that violate their beliefs.”

Christian Hedonism: "Obama recently called abortion a 'difficult issue.' That is a nice way of saying you must ignore all of your moral instincts. Killing an unborn baby is not a 'difficult issue' if your conscience still works....  He called the miraculous creation of a baby 'punishment.' ... When you turn from God-created standards of right and wrong you are sure to end up in a moral swamp laden with 'difficult issues.' When right and wrong become an opinion, rather than truth, the swamp gets muddied. The truth is not difficult to believe, but it is difficult to obey." See Immorality

A radical agenda comes to Massachusetts: "The new GLBT (gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender) coalition is going all out to pass a law which will result in very disturbed people using opposite-sex bathrooms and locker rooms, dressing and behaving as the opposite sex in public and at work, and indoctrinating children in our public schools that this perverted behavior is a 'civil right.'... As we have experienced with the homosexual agenda in the schools... Massachusetts is setting the course for the rest of the country on radical social policies." See Ban Truth - Reap Tyranny and the next two links:

The Coming Nightmare of a “Transsexual Rights and Hate Crimes" Law in Massachusetts. This is an index to the many facets of this atrocious bill. The next link is one of the items:

Transsexual Rights and Hate Crimes" Law - Public Accommodations: “Gender identity or expression' would be added as a category that cannot be discriminated against in 'public accommodations.'... It could include any place outside of private homes -- public sidewalks and streets, 'common halls of buildings' (any buildings), and even churches and schools.... Existing Massachusetts law (Sec. 98 of chapter 272) seems to imply that even speaking publicly against the transgender non-discrimination law, much less leading an effort to overturn it, could result in fines &/or imprisonment....

      "Will public accommodations come to include schools, churches and religious institutions? Most churches, after all, advertise and welcome the general public! And what about hospitals, specifically named as a public accommodation in the statute? ...

      "If Bill H1722 is passed, not only could hotels not ban such groups or their lewd public behavior, but a complainer such as the grandfather could be subject to a fine of $2,500, a year in prison, plus damages of an undesignated amount for discriminating against this newly protected class of victims for 'inciting' or 'instigating' discrimination in a public accommodation." See  Depravity and Why "Hate crime" laws would ban Biblical Christianity

Guarding Our Hearts in a Sexualized Culture: "Illicit sex has quietly permeated virtually every fiber of American culture, while pornography is on the verge of becoming a part of mainstream American life. As men, we face a daily onslaught of sexual images that titillate our senses; yet, the Bible commands us to 'Be pure as He is pure.' I am fully convinced that there has never been a more difficult time for men to guard their eyes and hearts than in modern day America." Prov 4:23-27
