A couple in their mid 60's was recently denied the right to adopt children by a High Court in England because of their anti-homosexuality views. ...Lord Justice Munby and Mr Justice Beatson ruled that laws protecting people from discrimination because of their sexual orientation "should take precedence" over the right not to be discriminated against on religious grounds. The truth is, because of the risk th ...

You hear it over and over again: Christians are complaining as gays gain rights (the same rights as everyone else, in fact), they begin to lose theirs. More particularly, their "right" to openly discriminate is being challenged, and as people get sacked or lose career opportunities because of their bigotry, they're crying foul. Recently, a Christian doctor, Hans-Christian Raabe, who had been foolishly appoi ...

Catholics have taken a page from Evangelical Christians and are actively trying to recruit people back to the faith. After the shellacking they've received amidst all the sex scandals, they're looking for a little PR work, and they've found it in "Catholics Come Home". The site promises to convert you to, or back to Catholicism by answering a few pathetic questions, and glossing over any fact that looks to ...

Oh Ted, when will you stop living an atrocious lie. The former pastor, disgraced after he was caught doing meth with a gay prostitute (who made a killing selling a book about the affair), now claims he's really just bisexual in an interview with GQ magazine. Although he might be telling the truth, I find it far more likely poor Ted is busy trying to reconcile his latent homosexuality with the fact he's marr ...

I want to make something clear from the onset: yes, it's true if you're an evangelical Christian, it does not necessarily follow you personally support the maltreatment of gays around the world. However, and this is my main point, you are part of an institution whose views and opinions regarding homosexuality shape a culture of hatred and murder. You cannot escape this reality; any money, time and effort sp ...

Britain is starting to drop the hammer on homophobic counselors and psychotherapists. For starters, there was the counselor Gary McFarlane who was sacked after he refused to service a gay couple, and now it looks like another mental help professional is getting the boot: A psychotherapist faces being struck off after trying to 'convert' a homosexual man. Lesley Pilkington, 60, a therapist for 20 years, is a ...

Do you remember all those thousands of birds that dropped dead a little while ago? Scientists are still trying to figure out what happened (I'm willing to bet money it has something to do with Climate Change, but I'm no expert). While serious folks with brains are busy solving this mystery, religious nutjobs are jumping on this story as proof "God" is mad about something, and sending us a message by annihil ...

Evangelical chaplains in the military are suffering! They're worried the eventual repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" will jeopardize their ability to openly discriminate against gays and lesbians who might come to them seeking spiritual help. Now while I generally feel homosexuality and religion mix about as well as oil and water, you can't deny the fact statistically, gays are actually more religious than t ...

Every once in a while, I manage to find articles written by religious leaders that I find refreshingly honest. It doesn't happen very often, mind you, but when it does, it gives me hope these deluded fools will eventually realize their religion is on a serious death spiral. The latest bastion of honesty comes courtesy of a retired Baptist Minister, Rev. Howard Bess who confesses the reasons young people are ...

Seems like every other day, the UN proves just how much it's willing to cater to the demands of irrational and prejudiced nations. The latest scandal involves 79 countries that have taken upon that have taken upon themselves the task of "eradicating" homosexuality. The step backwards in human rights was the amendment of a resolution against unlawful executions that removed gays from this prohibition. ...thi ...
