There’s a certain type of mystery plot out there that is really starting to get on my nerves. The plot isn’t confined to a single sub-genre. The book can be set in a charming English village where an elderly lady plays the role of amateur sleuth. It can just as easily be a tough-as-nails hardboiled story about a tough wise-cracking PI. But for some reason, many authors think it’s a clever idea to use the following twist ending: the killer is gay. What does the…
Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the “girlfriend” Notre Dame football star Manti Te'o never met, told Dr. Phil that he is working to "recover from homosexuality," which he compared to being a recovering drug addict. Oh boy, he’s really stepped in it now! Doesn’t he know you can’t “recover” from something you’re born with, something as genetically determined as the color of your skin or the color of your eyes? . . .
My high school alma mater is a Catholic school, and it’s been gathering some national attention this week after rescinding an invitation to its graduation keynote speaker because not only is he gay, but as well engaged to be married to another man. These facts were not volunteered to the school’s principal when he made the offer to speak, but discovered later by a visit to the young actor’s Facebook page. Apparently it came as a surprise to the erstwhile speaker, also an alumnus of…
If you're a social conservative, chances are you’ve had a conversation something like this:Conservative: “But if we accept homosexual behavior as normal, how do we retain other traditional taboos, like the one against incest?”Liberal: “That’s just a straw man. Nobody’s going to advocate incest.”Now, read this, from Tauriq Moosa, tutor in ethics, bioethics and critical thinking at the University of Cape Town, South Africa (courtesy of my friend Dale Nelson):Thirdly, and oddly, people exclaim [incest is] “just” repugnant. We will examine this more closer later.…
A scientific study commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has found that only 1.4 percent of people are homosexual. I suppose that that must surprise you. The first thing I thought of when I read Michael Medved’s article about the study was how different the facts are from what the contemporary culture tells us. When watching television, after all, it seems as if 50 percent of the population is homosexual. It’s evident that a…
By Lars Walker I’ve been waiting to see a response from other social conservatives to the recent Gallup Poll which reports that Americans now favor “gay” marriage by a percentage of 53% to 45%. This year’s nine-percentage-point increase in support for same-sex marriage is the largest year-to-year shift yet measured over this time period. Two-thirds of Americans were opposed to legalized same-sex marriage in 1996, with 27% in favor. By 2004, support had risen to 42% and, despite some fluctuations from year to year, stayed…
At a concert recently to raise money to overturn Proposition 8 in California, Elton John let it be known how he feels about those who believe marriage (i.e., everyone for all of recorded history until now) is exclusively between one man and one woman (even polygamists believe marriage is about children): “As a gay man, I think I have it all,” he said. “I have a wonderful career. A wonderful life. I have my health. I have a partner of 17 years and I have…
by Mike Gray School administrators often claim that expressions of disapproval of homosexuality make students feel “unsafe.” But what administrators mean when they say “safety” is actually “comfort.” Conventionally, safety refers to the absence of verbal or physical harassment or abuse. Now, however, “safety” has acquired an expansive redefinition. It has now come to mean absence of uncomfortable feelings. — Laurie Higgins At RenewAmerica, Matt C. Abbott notes the propaganda campaign aimed at normalizing “the homosexualist agenda”: Even more disturbing than the homosexual lobby’s infiltration…
He appeared before the congregation again this past Sunday. He and members of the elders explained that he has been exonerated by their investigation. Among other things they spoke, with his permission, with people in the Courage group in whom he had confided. They can find no evidence that he has been living a secret sex life. They are satisfied that Pastor Brock is celibate, which is all we ask of any man dealing with this difficult problem.
By Daniel Crandall Here’s yet another case of reality intruding where only the satirical newspaper, The Onion, once trod. An adjunct professor at the University of Illinois was fired for explaining Catholic beliefs concerning Natural Law to students enrolled in a class about Catholicism. [Professor Ken] Howell, who taught Introduction to Catholicism and Modern Catholic Thought, says he was fired at the end of the spring semester after sending an e-mail explaining some Catholic beliefs to his students preparing for an exam. What bit of…
On the basis of the accounts I've read, the “journalist” who produced the story infiltrated this accountability group, lied about his purposes, and then broke the promise of confidentiality he made to get in.
This week’s episode of “House” dealt extensively with the topic of homosexuality, and in a thoroughly modern way. The consensus among American cultural elites is that one’s “sexual orientation” (a loaded relativistic modern term) is determined at conception. Like skin color it is immutable, and thus any attempt to “change” it is as unnatural as Michael Jackson’s skin was. And if anyone expresses any moral qualms about homosexuality, they are considered akin to a racist and a bigot. Fortunately, “House” often deals with contentious issues…
A street preacher in London has been arrested for preaching Christian doctrine concerning homosexual activity.
I am proud to be a heterosexual man. This is something worth celebrating. Allowing myself to be seduced by fear and insecurity became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sabotage. Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions. To keep this a secret from my public, as I did up until today, would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids were born with. These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within…
