Same-Sex Marriage - Facts, Consequences, and Resources

God's Marriage or that of a Despotic Judge? God's design, or Satan's attempt to thwart God's design? Traditional family or destroy the basic element of a "civil" society?

"Destroy the family, and the society will collapse." Nikolai Lenin

Homosexuality is completely contrary to the natural order and therefore contrary to the family. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

If the evil one wants to undermine God, he must attack God's favored design of marriage between one man and one woman and subsequently God's design for family which is the foundation for a civil society? (see Tim Gill and Kevin Jennings)

'Gay marriage' squashes parental rights & religious liberty, experts say by Michael Foust -Some say the sky hasn't fallen in the nearly five years since "gay marriage" was legalized in Massachusetts, but Kris Mineau, a citizen and conservative activist in that state, begs to differ. Sure, he says, things may look the same on the surface, but if you dig a little deeper, you'll see dramatic cultural changes. Teachers are teaching children about homosexual families over the objections of parents. A major adoption agency has chosen to shut down rather than be forced to place children with homosexual couples. "The sky is falling in Massachusetts in two key areas: parental rights and religious liberty," Mineau, president of the Massachusetts Family Institute, told Baptist Press.

Don't Give Up Hope, Says Pro-Family Leader: Launches Free pdf Textbook Teaching How to Re-Build Family-Centered Culture Dr. Scott Lively is an attorney, pastor and international consultant on family issues with more than twenty years of ministry opposing the "gay" political agenda around the world.

For the past ten years, while lecturing and consulting on pro-family strategies in more than 30 countries, Dr. Lively has been writing the world's first textbook that teaches pro-family advocates how to defeat the homosexual agenda and reestablish family-centered culture in their respective nations.

Today, Dr. Lively released the book, "Redeeming the Rainbow: A Christian Response to the 'Gay' Agenda" on the Internet as a free resource in pdf format.

"This is my free gift to the international pro-family movement," said Lively. "Everything I've learned in twenty years on the front lines of the 'culture war' is in this book. I want pro-family people to have free access to these insights, analysis and strategies so that they will know that there is still hope for re-building family- centered culture, and how they can achieve that goal.

"I have devoted thousands of hours of work and all of the skills and training I have acquired through my career to produce the most straightforward, concise and easy-to-understand guidance that I can," he added. "I've boiled it down to under 250 pages, addressing every significant aspect of the conflict between Christian and 'gay' social goals. My only restriction on the use of this book is that it may not be offered for sale, but must be given away freely. I offer whatever value it may have as a sacrifice to the Lord."

"Redeeming the Rainbow" is available for download online in the Resources section of www.defendthefamily.com, specifically www.defendthefamily.com/_docs/resources/1889235. pdf

"Far from being rivals or enemies, religion and law are twin sisters, friends, and mutual assistants. Indeed, these two sciences run into each other. The divine law, as discovered by reason and the moral sense, forms an essential part of both." --James Wilson, law lectures at the University of Pennsylvania

"Civil" Rights based on race vs. same-sex argument: Read the first two paragraphs of Americas Founding Document, the Declaration of Independence. "Civil" Rights based on race DOES NOT violate “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.” Civil Rights based on same-sex DOES.

The Founders on Homosexuality by Dave Miller, Ph.D. - Of those living today in America who were alive 50 years ago, few could have imagined, let alone predicted, that homosexuality would encroach on our culture as it has. In fact, it would have been unthinkable. The rapidity with which homosexual activists continue successfully to bully the nation to normalize what once was universally considered abnormal is astonishing. And toleration has not satisfied them. Allowing their views to be taught in public schools has not appeased them. No, they insist that societal endorsement extend to redefining marriage to include same-sex couples.

...The Founding Fathers of these United States would be incredulous, incensed, and outraged. They understood that acceptance of homosexuality would undermine and erode the moral foundations of civilization. Sodomy, the longtime historical term for same-sex relations, was a capital crime under British common law. Sir William Blackstone, British attorney, jurist, law professor, and political philosopher, authored his monumental Commentaries on the Laws of England from 1765-1769. These commentaries became the premiere legal source admired and used by America’s Founding Fathers.

...How many Americans realize that while serving as the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, the Father of our country was apprised of a homosexual in the army. The response of General Washington was immediate and decisive. He issued “General Orders” from Army Headquarters at Valley Forge on Saturday, March 14, 1778 (Search with quotes "George Washington, March 14, 1778, General Orders" at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/):

At a General Court Martial whereof Colo. Tupper was President (10th March 1778) Lieutt. Enslin of Colo. Malcom’s Regiment tried for attempting to commit sodomy, with John Monhort a soldier; Secondly, For Perjury in swearing to false Accounts, found guilty of the charges exhibited against him, being breaches of 5th Article 18th Section of the Articles of War and do sentence him to be dismiss’d the service with Infamy. His Excellency the Commander in Chief approves the sentence and with Abhorrence and Detestation of such Infamous Crimes orders Lieutt. Enslin to be drummed out of Camp tomorrow morning by all the Drummers and Fifers in the Army never to return; The Drummers and Fifers to attend on the Grand Parade at Guard mounting for that Purpose

...Observe that the Father of our country viewed “sodomy” (the 18th-century word for homosexual relations) “with Abhorrence and Detestation.” Homosexuality was treated as a criminal offense in all of the original thirteen colonies, and eventually every one of the fifty states (see Robinson, 2003; “Sodomy Laws...,” 2003). Severe penalties were invoked for those who engaged in homosexuality. In fact, few Americans know that the penalty for homosexuality in several states was death—including New York, Vermont, Connecticut, and South Carolina (Barton, 2000, pp. 306,482). Most people nowadays would be shocked to learn that Thomas Jefferson advocated “dismemberment” (castration) as the penalty for homosexuality in his home state of Virginia, and even authored a bill to that effect (1781, Query 14; cf. 1903, 1:226-227).

New Hampshire Considers 'Bathroom Bill' - Last week, New Hampshire's House Judiciary Subcommittee voted 3-2 to pass a bill that would open all public restrooms and locker rooms to people of the opposite sex. Family advocates are concerned that by adding the words "gender expression" into the list of anti-discrimination laws, it will make New Hampshire's public bathrooms a haven for sexual predators. Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said the government is failing to protect its citizens. "These 'bathroom bills' provide the opportunity for peeping toms, pedophiles and sexual predators to walk into women's restrooms and locker rooms unchallenged, upsetting and endangering women and young girls," he said. "People suffering from gender confusion should receive therapy, not government endorsement. This bill is simply an attempt to appease the GLBT lobby at the expense of the safety of New Hampshire's citizens." Last June, Colorado passed a 'bathroom bill,' and shortly thereafter reports came in from women who were uncomfortable that men were using their restrooms. Pennsylvania is considering a similar bill.

Homosexuality and the Laws of Moral Physics J. Matt Barber - It makes front page news when conservative elected officials are accused of selling-out to monolithic corporate lobbies like “Big Oil” or “Big Tobacco.” Yet the media rarely take notice when liberal politicians toe the line for extreme ideological special interests.

Case in point: Within minutes after swearing in, President Obama had the White House web site updated to declare his unconditional support for every demand of the politically powerful and very well-funded homosexual lobby (a.k.a., “Big Homo”). By announcing to the world his pro-“gay” agenda, Obama has thrown gasoline on smoldering culture war embers, generating a firestorm of controversy.

...Evidently, Christ failed to clear His marriage definition with Barack Obama and Big Homo. Notice that – rather conspicuously – He did not say: “At the beginning the Creator made them gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT). For this reason a male, female or shemale will leave his, her or whatchahoozie’s father and mother, father and father or mother and mother and be united to his or her wife – and/or husband – and the two or more will become one flesh. Not that there's anything wrong with that.”

...Christ’s Apostle Paul rhetorically asked in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”

“Gay affirming” churches, which engage in what I call “a la carte Christianity” (take what you like, leave what you don’t) are really just “sin affirming” churches. And “gay friendly” politicians, like Barack Obama, who push an anti-Christian homosexual agenda, are really just “immorality friendly” politicians.

Fortunately, as untold thousands of ex-“gays” can attest, God’s word also offers hope and freedom from the homosexual lifestyle. 1 Corinthians 6:11, says, “And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”

The Consequences of Homosexual Marriage are REAL, The Science it is Based on is NOT Faith2Action.org has produced a provocative marriage video, with help from Tony Perkins, Don Wildmon and others, that shows the harsh reality of the consequences of homosexual marriage. The lie that is perpetrated says that homosexuals are born with a "gay gene" and because of that we are to accept them just as they are and allow them to redefine marriage and family life to fit their lifestyle. In 2008 the American Psychological Association put out a revised publication that included the admission that there is no "gay" gene. As the video points out, the truth is there are thousands of ex-homosexuals living happy, healthy, fulfilling lives. I urge you to view the five minute video in its entirety by selecting on the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brIvfpIqvx8&feature=channel

Response to those who believe that being gay is a 'gift' from God?

How do they in turn respond to the following Scriptures:

(KJV unless specified otherwise.)

Genesis 18:20 - And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

Genesis 19:15 - And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

Jude 1:7,17-19 - Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. ...But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

Jesus - Matthew 19:4-6 - Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Romans 1:24-27 - For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections; for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature; And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.

Leviticus 18:22, 20:13 - You shall not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is an abomination. If a man also lie with mankind, as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - Or do you not know that the unrighteousness will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Stop being deceived: neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor effeminate nor homosexuals nor thieves nor covetous people nor drunkards, nor abusive people, nor swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of God. (Power New Testament)

2 Peter 2:6-10 - And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

Matthew 11:23-24 - And you, Capernaum, which is exalted unto heaven, shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done here, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you. Jesus

Luke 17:26-30 - And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Deuteronomy 23:17-18 - There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog (* keleb), into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God. (* keleb -- from an unused root means. to yelp, or else to attack; a dog; hence (by euphemism) a male prostitute: KJV -- dog.)

Deuteronomy 32:28-33 - For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

Isaiah 3:9 - The show of their countenance does witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

Jeremiah 23:14 - I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

Jude 1:7 - Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

1 Timothy 1:10 (PNT) fornicators, homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and any other one who acts contrary to sound teaching.

Romans 1: 26-32 (Power New Testament) Because of this God gave them over into vile passion of disgrace, and indeed their females exchanged the natural function for that contrary to nature, and likewise also the males who neglected the natural function with the females. They were inflamed in their lustful passion with one another, males performing the unseemly deed with males and receiving the reward which was necessary for their deceit in repayment for their sin. And since they did not see fit to have true knowledge of God, God gave them over into an unrighteous (reprobate) mind, to do the shameful things, since they were filled with every unrighteousness, wickedness, avarice, desire to injure. full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, evil habits, whisperers, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, braggart, contriving evil, refusing to obey parents, without understanding, covenant breaking, without natural affection without mercy: who, although they know the ordinances of God thoroughly, because they are practicing such things as these that are worth of death, not only are they doing them but they are applauding others who do them.

Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Jesus - Matthew 19:4-6

"But ambitious encroachments of the federal government, on the authority of the State governments, would not excite the opposition of a single State, or of a few States only. They would be signals of general alarm... But what degree of madness could ever drive the federal government to such an extremity." James Madison - Author of the U. S. Constitution (Federalist No. 46, 29 January 1788)

“The most important consequence of marriage is, that the husband and the wife become in law only one person... Upon this principle of union, almost all the other legal consequences of marriage depend.” James Wilson

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. ...But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. Jude 1:7,17-19

Martin Luther King Jr. - Excerpts from his Letter from the Birmingham Jail April 16, 1963 "How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law."

Note: Slavery or racial discrimination, and marriage are two totally different issues. Allowing same-sex unions and marriage would violate "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," where the abolition of slavery DID NOT, and therefore, to have these “Rights” of freedom “entitled” was justified.

What new and improved wisdom do secular humanists use to justify violating "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," which was the foundation laid out in America's Founding Document on how "unalienable Rights" were to be "entitled?" What is his foundation? How do secular humanists determine the rules and boundaries if not by “the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God?” What is basis of secular humanists for determining laws and “Rights?“ So, how do secular humanists justify "entitling" a "Right" for same-sex relationships?

The Constitution Does Not Permit Polygamy or Same-Sex Marriage MichNews.com, March 18, 2005 (Extreme Conservative) - Thomas Jefferson drafted a bill concerning Virginia’s criminal law providing that the penalty for sodomy should be castration. See Thomas Jefferson, The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Andrew A. Lipscomb, ed. (Washington, Thomas Jefferson Memorial Association, 1904) Vol. I, pp.226-27, from Jefferson’s “For Proportioning Crimes and Punishments.” The bill read: “Whosoever shall be guilty of rape, polygamy, or sodomy with a man or woman, shall be punished; if a man, by castration, a woman, by boring through the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch in diameter at the least.” (Virginia Bill number 64; authored by Jefferson; 18 June 1779)

See "buggery" in state laws: Supreme Court of the United States _______ No. 02-102 (pdf) “Buggery is . . . committed by carnall knowledge against the ordinance of the Creator and order of nature, by mankind with mankind, or with brute beast, or by womankind with bruite beast.” Edward Coke, The Third Part of the Institutes of the Laws of England 58-59 (1641).

What same-sex "marriage" has done to Massachusetts It's far worse than most people realize by Brian Camenker - Anyone who thinks that same-sex “marriage” is a benign eccentricity which won’t affect the average person should consider what it has done in Massachusetts. It’s become a hammer to force the acceptance and normalization of homosexuality on everyone. And this train is moving fast. What has happened so far is only the beginning. The public schools - Public health - Domestic violence - Legal profession - Adoption of children to homosexual “married” couples - Government mandates - The public square - The media. Homosexual “marriage” hangs over society like a hammer with the force of law. And it’s only just begun. It’s pretty clear that the homosexual movement’s obsession with marriage is not because large numbers of them actually want to marry each other. Research shows that homosexual relationships are fundamentally dysfunctional on many levels, and “marriage” as we know it isn’t something they can achieve, or even desire. (In fact, over the last three months, the Sunday Boston Globe’s marriage section hasn’t had any photos of homosexual marriages. In the beginning it was full of them.) This is about putting the legal stamp of approval on homosexuality and imposing it with force throughout the various social and political institutions of a society that would never accept it otherwise. To the rest of America: You've been forewarned.

Myth: Same-sex marriage does not impact heterosexual marriages or society as a whole.

Parents are losing the right to oversee/direct the sexual education of their children in states like Massachusetts, where same-sex "marriage" is recognized as the moral equivalent to natural marriage.

A church that holds a biblically orthodox view of marriage and sexuality could lose its tax-exempt status as a result of the recognition of special rights for one sexual behavior.

Small-business owners cannot operate without agreeing to compromise their deeply held biblical beliefs.

"There is no such thing as 'a homosexual.' Homosexuality is not what you are. It's what you do." Stephen Bennett

15 Reasons Why Homosexuality is Wrong and Hurts Society "The wicked strut about on every side when vileness is exalted among the sons of men." Psalm 12:8 - Biblical Family Advocates passionately implores Pastors and Churches to educate themselves regarding the Biblical and societal implications of engaging in homosexuality. Readers are encouraged to go to the Biblical Family Advocates website and read the article, "15 Reasons Why Homosexuality is Wrong and Hurts Society." The article discusses such things as the higher infidelity and domestic violence rates of homosexual relationships, why homosexuality is not genetic, as well as understanding why the Bible cannot support homosexual marriage. More importantly, it offers links and insights as to how those who are caught in the bondage of homosexuality can be set free.

Will this be the lifestyle and American way of life for our descendents in America?

What the mainstream media doesn't report: The increase in children being born out of wedlock in Scandinavia since marriage was redefined! William Murray, the chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition, warns of the dangers of legalizing same-sex marriage in the United States. He says Scandinavia has had nearly a decade of legal homosexual marriage, and it has nearly destroyed the institution of marriage altogether. More details: http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/4/132004c.asp (Excerpts: ...In Scandinavia, illegitimate birth rates exceed 50 percent. The majority of Swedish and Norwegian children are born out of wedlock, and 60 percent of first-born children in Denmark have unmarried parents. Meanwhile, marriage rates subtly decline while, in some countries, divorce rates have skyrocketed to nearly 80 percent. ...Still, as Kurtz noted, such studies have been done. He says they showed that "throughout Scandinavia (and the West) cohabiting couples with children break up at two to three times the rate of married parents. So rising rates of cohabitation and out-of-wedlock birth stand as proxy for rising rates of family dissolution.")

Who is Tim Gill?

Gay-Activist Tim Gill Pours Money into New Hampshire New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch has yet to touch the same-sex "marriage" bill that is sitting on his desk. But if he does sign it, some of the "credit" will go to gay-activist Tim Gill, who has poured massive amounts of money into the state. Gill’s money also has helped pro-gay candidates win seats in California, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, New York and elsewhere. Brad Miller, director of the Family Policy Council Department at Focus on the Family Action, said Gill knows how to make an impact. More than three-quarters of the candidates he has backed have won. “He networks with like-minded folks across the country, and then he directs those individuals to give," Miller said. "So, it’s not just his money, but it’s the money of other wealthy individuals on the Left.” Kevin Smith, executive director of New Hampshire’s Cornerstone Policy Research, said that while he may be behind on the financial side of the equation, he still has the public's support. “Between (Gill's) group and the Human Rights Campaign," he said, "they’ve dumped significant amounts of money — at least tens of thousands.” Smith said he's counting on the fierce independent streak in New Englanders to resist pressure from Gill and eventually put his lawmakers out of office.

Gay Activist Tim Gill and Friends Claim Victory in 106 Races by Jennifer Mesko - For years, homosexual multi-millionaire Tim Gill and his like-minded friends have shrewdly targeted key legislative races to defeat candidates who support traditional marriage and family values. In 2004, Gill and his friends poured millions into Gill's home state of Colorado and gave control of the Legislature to those favoring the homosexual agenda. In 2006, they expanded, targeting 70 key races in Colorado and other states and winning an astonishing 50. This year (2008) was no different. In addition to investing millions to — unsuccessfully — fight marriage amendments in Arizona, California and Florida, Gill and like-minded contributors supported candidates in at least 147 state races and won 106 of them.

Tim Gill and Like-Minded Donors

Behind the scenes, software mogul Tim Gill and his friends are ambitiously campaigning to remake American politics in accord with homosexual activism.

Tim Gill Contributes Millions to Homosexual Activism Software mogul Tim Gill supports carefully selected candidates across the nation with an eye on influencing legislation. Watch the CBN report about Tim Gill.

The Gay Mogul Changing U.S. Politics Philanthropist Tim Gill Gill Foundation - In a new list of the most powerful gay men and women in the country, Out magazine has lots of household names at the top: David Geffen, Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O'Donnell, Barney Frank and a couple of allegedly closeted stars. But high among the rich and famous is Tim Gill. Huh? Who is he, and why is he ranked as the fourth most powerful gay person in the country? Gill is a 53-year-old snowboarder, retired computer programmer and multimillionaire. He made his fortune (estimated at $425 million by Forbes magazine) by founding Quark, the pioneering desktop publishing software company. After selling the firm, he started the Gill Foundation, which has invested $110 million nationwide in gay causes over the past decade. The Gill Action Fund threw $15 million into a dozen states during the 2006 midterm elections, targeting 70 politicians regarded as unhelpful to gay causes: 50 went down. And the fund is helping transform the political face of Colorado. ...And recognizing that most anti-gay initiatives are born at the state level, Gill has developed a national political strategy based on successes in Colorado. "They've taken an in-state model and applied it to the entire country," says Denver political analyst Floyd Ciruli. "Gill [and his people are] incredibly strategic. They simply don't waste money. They put their funding where they can take control of legislatures." Ciruli adds, "People were unaware of what was going on for quite awhile, but now I think everybody knows that they have really changed the direction of the state. I'm not sure that everyone really understands how potent [Gill] is, but he now has to be the number one gay rights advocate in the country in terms of funding and strategy. They're taking significant contributions and putting them brilliantly in legislative environments where a few seats changing will change the entire control of a state."

They Won’t Know What Hit Them - The software mogul Tim Gill has a mission: Stop the Rick Santorums of tomorrow before they get started. How a network of gay political donors is stealthily fighting sexual discrimination and reshaping American politics - Together, Gill and Trimpa decided to eschew national races in favor of state and local ones, which could be influenced in large batches and for much less money. Most antigay measures, they discovered, originate in state legislatures. Operating at that level gave them a chance to “punish the wicked,” as Gill puts it—to snuff out rising politicians who were building their careers on antigay policies, before they could achieve national influence. Their chief cautionary example of such a villain is Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, who once compared homosexuality to “man on dog” sex (and was finally defeated last year, at a cost of more than $20 million). Santorum got his start working in the state legislature. As Gill and Trimpa looked at their evolving plan, it seemed realistic. “The strategic piece of the puzzle we’d been missing—consistent across almost every legislature we examined—is that it’s often just a handful of people, two or three, who introduce the most outrageous legislation and force the rest of their colleagues to vote on it,” Gill explained. “If you could reach these few people or neutralize them by flipping the chamber to leaders who would block bad legislation, you’d have a dramatic effect.” ...“If you want a majority, you have to change people’s minds,” he said, noting that in Colorado, Republicans outnumber Democrats. “Just because you’re conservative doesn’t mean you’re antigay.” With that in mind, he assembled a bipartisan team of political operatives and tested his theory in 2004, quietly targeting three antigay Colorado incumbents; two of them went down. Through the combined efforts of a host of progressive interest groups, including many supported by Gill, Democrats captured both chambers of the legislature for the first time in forty years. Gill’s decision to back Democrats in Colorado was the only choice that would produce the gay-tolerant leadership he’s pursuing. But ten years from now, he told me, he hopes he’ll be able to give evenly to Republicans and Democrats. Convinced his approach was sound, Gill decided to go big. When I visited his headquarters last fall, liberals were working alongside conservatives on a list compiled by his top consultants—one a national Democratic consultant, the other a former Karl Rove protégé—of seventy races in which a key antigay candidate was vulnerable or the outcome of a race was likely to affect control of the legislature. The list included state legislators, governors, and judges, not just Republicans but Democrats as well—like Philip Travis, the Democratic legislator leading the push to overturn gay marriage in Massachusetts. ...One component of Gill’s strategy includes courting that element of the Republican Party that’s open to compromise, while at the same time making clear that gay bashing will now come at a price. “You have to create an atmosphere of fear and respect,” said Trimpa, “and set up the proper context for them to do the right thing.” But neither Gill’s checkbook nor the Republicans’ woes have stopped social conservatives from pressing their agenda. Last year, when it became clear that Colorado Republicans intended to back a ballot initiative banning gay marriage, Gill and his allies moved first to frame the debate by pushing Referendum I, a bill endorsing domestic partnerships, and spending $5 million to promote it.

"We immediately seized upon the opponent's calling card -- safety -- and explained how homophobia represents a threats to students' safety by creating a climate where violence, name-calling, health problems, and suicide are common. Tilting our report, 'Making Schools Safe for Gay and Lesbian Youth,' we automatically threw our opponents onto the defensive and stole their best line of attack. This....short-circuited their arguments and left them back-peddling from day one."

'Safe schools' chief recommends child porn for classroom reading 'Sex acts between preschoolers' among subjects of books backed by openly 'gay' Obama adviser - (12/4/2009) A report is raising alarms that the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network, a homosexual advocacy organization founded by Kevin Jennings, now head of the U.S. Office of Safe Schools for the Obama administration, is recommending XXX-rated sex writings for children as young as preschoolers.

Here's how homosexual activist Kevin Jennings got his White House "safe schools czar" job: The old-fashioned way. (MassResisstants.org)

As MassResistance and others have reported on the outrageous appointment of Kevin Jennings by Barack Obama to become the national "safe schools" czar, a powerful new Department of Education position, without Senate confirmation. Jennings is the ultra-activist former teacher with a long record of pushing homosexual propaganda in the schools. Jennings founded and ran the national group Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).

This past week the big question on Sean Hannity's national Fox show (and other shows) was: How was this guy vetted? How did the Obama people let Jennings slip through the cracks?

Here's the answer. Obama knew exactly who he was. Jennings got his job the old-fashioned way: He raised millions of dollars from the homosexual community for Obama's Presidential campaign.

Watch the video below of Jennings' fundraising work at an LTGB event in New York City - with Bill Clinton in attendance. They raised $600,000 that day for Obama. (It was held at the home of some wealthy donors and organized by Jennings.)

Here's how Barack Obama vetted his "safe schools" czar:

Sordid and frightening background

This is a man who admitted that as a teacher he counseled a 15-year-old boy at the school to continue having a sexual relationship with an adult man the boy had met in a bus station restroom. "Just make sure you know how to use a condom," Jennings said he told the boy.

Kevin Jennings' group GLSEN organizes homosexual clubs in high schools and middle schools across the country. And under Jennings' direct leadership, GLSEN has done hideous things to kids in Massachusetts, including the Fistgate conference and the homosexual Little Black Book - which we exposed and publicized -- as well as the various "gay days" and "transgender days" and similar activities in high schools, middle schools and even elementary schools. GLSEN also uses "anti-bullying" programs as a foot in the door for homosexual and transgender indoctrination of even the youngest children. So it's not only one young teenager in Concord he affected and encouraged to make a dangerous life choice. It's thousands of children in Massachusetts and across the nation.

This is the man Barack Obama wants to run the national "safe schools" programs in your schools! Luckily, conservative groups around the country are thousands of people are fighting back!

Obama's 'safe schools' chief praised child-sex promoter Jennings: I was 'inspired' by NAMBLA's Harry Hay By Bob Unruh © 2009 WorldNetDaily - Kevin Jennings A transcript from a 1997 speech shows Office of Safe Schools chief Kevin Jennings in the U.S. Department of Education expressed his admiration for Harry Hay, one of the nation's first homosexual activists who launched the Mattachine Society in 1948, founded the Radical Faeries and was a longtime advocate for the North American Man-Boy Love Association, NAMBLA. "One of the people that's always inspired me is Harry Hay," the transcript shows Jennings saying, "who started the first ongoing gay rights groups in America. In 1948, he tried to get people to join the Mattachine Society. It took him two years to find one other person who would join. "Well, [in] 1993," Jennings continued, "Harry Hay marched with a million people in Washington, who thought he had a good idea 40 years before." WND has reported several times on Jennings' homosexual activism, including his founding of the organization "Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network," which advocates for homosexuality in public schools.

National outrage growing over appointment of homosexual activist Kevin Jennings as "safe schools czar" in US Dept. of Education. MassResistance work being cited. Congress taking notice.

This could become even bigger than the recent Van Jones situation. The momentum is starting to get that strong.

Maybe the most unbelievable and outrageous Obama appointment -- of the many outrageous Obama appointments -- is Kevin Jennings to become the national "safe schools" czar -- running a multi-million dollar program without Senate confirmation.

Jennings is the ultra-homosexual activist teacher who founded and ran the national group Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).

As may of you know, GLSEN targets schoolchildren with homosexual propaganda. It's the group that organizes homosexual clubs in high schools and middle schools across the country. And under Jennings' direct leadership, GLSEN done some hideous things to kids in Massachusetts, including the Fistgate conference and the homosexual Little Black Book - which we exposed and publicized -- as well as the various "gay days" and "transgender days" and similar activities in high schools, middle schools and even elementary schools. GLSEN also uses "anti-bullying" programs as a foot in the door for homosexual and transgender indoctrination of even the youngest children.

During the 2008 presidential campaign Jennings quit his job at GLSEN to campaign full-time and raise money for Obama. Obama's Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan (who had attempted to set up an all-homosexual high school in Chicago), almost immediately brought Jennings into the DOE as a high-level "safe schools" director.

MassResistance being cited

Jenning's appointment quickly got attention because of the Fistgate scandal, which has been widely publicized over the years, and that led the press to other outrageous things he's done. Several national pro-family groups, such as Family Research Council, American Family Association, Americans for Truth, and others, have begun to sound the alarm in a vigerous manner.

Since we exposed a lot of the Jennings horror stories, we've been cited by the press (sometimes under our earlier name Parents Rights Coalition) and called on to discuss it. For example, last week Sean Hannity of Fox News mentioned our work exposing the Fistgate scandal. Many other news stories also bring it up.

Earlier this week we were interviewed about Kevin Jennings on a national radio show based in Florida and the Sandy Rios Show in Chicago. WorldNetDaily has reported on this several times recently, and the Washington Times editorials have brought a lot of attention.

Member of Congress speaks out on Hannity show

Last Friday Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) discussed Jennings on the Sean Hannity show on Fox. The problem of "czars" has clearly come to a boil with the Kevin Jennings situation. As Rep. Blackburn told Hannity:

"When you look at Mr. Jennings's background, it causes me great concern. And all of this is something that would come up through the Senate confirmation process. Being able to look at his writings and his speeches and go through those [Fistgate] tapes and look at what he has had to say about different issues. Because he is in charge of the safe schools, drug-free schools program.

"And, Sean, this is an agency that has a $700 million budget. And he is one of only two deputy assistant secretaries that are operating and running their own division, operating without Senate confirmation.

"So you get into the oversight issues, and you also get into the issues of what he's teaching, the moral issues."

Latest Jennings horror story involving 15-year-old boy!

Recently the Americans for Truth website and others publicized an outrageous incident that took place back when Jennings was a teacher at a private school in Massachusetts, which he wrote about in a book. In the book (and in a subsequent taped interview) Jennings describes how he counseled a 15-year-old boy at the school to continue having a sexual relationship with an adult man the boy met in a bus station restroom. Jennings even described how the boy seemed happier the more the man sodomized him. Jennings never reported any of this to authorities, but instead encouraged the boy to "use condoms."

Since this became public, the calls for Jennings to be removed have been growing across the country. And although the mainstream media continues to ignore it, it will not go away. It's reached Fox News, the Washington Times, and conservative web sites and talk radio around the country.

Like the Van Jones incident (the Obama "czar" who was forced to resign after his strong ties to radical communist organizations were exposed), this will be a very hard story to continue to ignore.

Warning Graphic: GLSEN Founder and Obama Education Appointee Kevin Jennings Said "!&%#! THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT!" By Peter LaBarbera founder Kevin Jennings to head the "Safe Schools" efforts at the Department of Education, we will be rolling out Jennings' long record of radical statements and writings, his personal nastiness toward religious conservatives, and his group's promotion of unsafe behaviors.

FRC Launches Stop Kevin Jennings Campaign Family Research Council announced the launch of the Stop Kevin Jennings campaign. Kevin Jennings is a radical homosexual activist whom President Barack Obama appointed to head the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools. The campaign includes a full page ad in today's DC Examiner newspaper and an online ad initiative. As the former president of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, Mr. Jennings worked tirelessly to bring the homosexual agenda into our nation's classrooms, even in grades as young as kindergarten..... Family Research Council is launching www.stopjennings.org, to educate the American people about how Jennings' dangerous views make him unfit to protect our nation's schoolchildren.

Why Homosexual Activist Kevin Jennings Is Not Fit For The Dept. Of Education by Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies at Family Research Council - ...2) The Jennings/GLSEN concept of “safe schools” actually extends far beyond the prevention of “harassment” and “bullying” to active “affirmation” and “promotion” of homosexuality. ...5) Jennings favors indoctrinating even elementary-age children in pro-homosexual ideology. ...7) Jennings’ own youthful drug use calls into question his suitability for promoting “drug-free schools.”

Who is Kevin Jennings and Why Should You Care? GLSEN Founder to Head 'Safe Schools' in Obama Administration by Sonja Dalton - Jennings wrote the foreword for the book, Queering Elementary Education. "In his own writings and books listed on the GLSEN Website, I've reported, Kevin Jennings has given tacit nods of approval to sex between young teens and adults. In addition to that, the writings and books, many of which I've read and are incredibly graphic, seem to normalize early teen same-sex sexual behaviors...It is unconscionable. This is educational malpractice and child corruption." -- Linda Harvey, Mission America, article from World Net Daily Kevin Jennings is the author of six other books which promote homosexuality (and more), including: Mama’s Boy, Preacher’s Son (an autobiography), Becoming Visible: A Reader in Gay and Lesbian History for High School and College Students, Telling Tales Out of School, One Teacher in Ten, 1st Edition One Teacher in 10, 2nd Edition, Always My Child

GLSEN basking in spotlight, a la Mrs. Biden Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - A conservative activist is troubled that Vice President Joe Biden's wife is "giving respectability" to a homosexual activist group with a long history of displaying a permissive attitude towards sexual relations between adults and teens.

The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) has announced that veteran educator Jill Biden will be a featured speaker at its "Respect Awards" gala in New York on June 1. The event is billed as an evening to "recognize individual and corporate leaders who have helped propel GLSEN's efforts to ensure safe schools for all of America's students, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression." Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, says it would not be an overstatement to call the homosexual school group an "extreme" organization. "GLSEN unapologetically promotes homosexuality, bisexuality, and trans-sexuality as normative to very young people," LaBarbera explains. "They call this award the 'Respect Award,' but GLSEN has trashed Christians and the 'Religious Right.' GLSEN's president Kevin Jennings told the religious right to 'drop dead' at one speech."

Four years ago, this news service reported that GLSEN founder Jennings failed to report to authorities a case of child sex abuse that he detailed in his book One Teacher in Ten. LaBarbera says Jennings helped "mainstream pedophilia" in that case. "He had a boy who was a victim of pedophilia, child abuse -- and...rather than report it, he helped induct that boy into manhood as a homosexual," says LaBarbera. "Essentially, rather than treat that situation as homosexual pedophilic abuse, he treated it as a pathway to gay identity." During the 2008 presidential race, Kevin Jennings was Barack Obama's campaign fundraising co-chair for the "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans-sexual" (LGBT) community. Among GLSEN's "Respect Awards" honorees on June 1 will be PepsiCo, a corporation that has been the subject of a pro-family boycott since earlier this year because of the company's support of the homosexual agenda through cash donations.

Framing the issue - How the homosexual movement got into the Massachusetts schools. The homosexual movement's lies and deceptions -- claiming "safety" and "suicide prevention". Dec. 1, 1996 - Read their own words from 1995 speech bragging about how they tricked the Massachusetts Legislature. The following is from a speech entitled "Winning the Culture War" by Kevin Jennings, Executive Director of the "Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network" (GLSEN). It was delivered at the "Human Rights Campaign Fund Leadership Conference" -- a national homosexual activists' event -- on March 5, 1995. In this landmark speech to the national gay movement, Jennings described how GLSEN and Gov. Weld's "Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth" brought homosexuality programs into Massachusetts schools by purposefully confusing the argument in order to intimidate critics. Since then, it's been used as a model for getting their propaganda into school districts across America. (In the first sentence, note the "big lie" technique of marginalizing normal, mainstream opposition as "the Radical Right.")

Many are being duped, many more just don't care or are too busy to take notice of what kind of "civilization" this generation is leaving for our descendents. Is Satan using those who assault Judeo-Christian faiths to undermine the natural marriage and family? Is this Satan's final assault and the reason for high divorce rates and the support of same-sex marriage by "those with reprobate minds?" Is it the evil one's last gasp attempt to destroy the very fabric and foundation of how "civil" societies are based? Will the chaos being experienced by children in Scandinavia (see below) permeate throughout the world because Christians are unable to judge without hypocrisy and thus have relinquished their call to be the salt and light of the world? Do you know how important marriage is to God, which is why He uses marriage as an analogy for Christ and the Church, in becoming as one? Is marriage between one man and one woman and the natural family being the very core of civilizations the reason Satan has targeted marriage, using those whose mind he has blinded to the Gospel of Christ? (2 Corinthians 4)

Among those who have been duped include the mainstream media, secular liberal politicians (even those who may claim to be Christian), public school administrators, most college professors, and most disturbingly judges. These are those who have bought into the misguided ploy that the new redefined "politically correct" definitions of words like discrimination, tolerance, diversity, hate, fear, and bigotry to falsely target the Judeo-Christian faith as being hateful. These are those whom the Scriptures refer to as having a reprobate mind and used hidden things of dishonesty, walking in craftiness, and handling the word of God deceitfully have fooled many under the guise of "rights, safety, and bullying" Yet many considered wise in this world have succumbed lock stock and barrel and are now promoting that which is evil.

CNSNews.com report "Same-Sex Marriage Debate Moves Into Schools" shows that homosexual-rights activists are invading our public schools to secure gullible disciples of their dangerous social agenda. The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) has printed a "curriculum guide" for public school teachers that presents a six-point lesson plan that is designed to convince students that homosexual relationships are the equivalent of traditional man-woman relationships (http://www.glsen.org/cgi-bin/iowa/all/library/record/1411.html ). "The lesson plans range from discussing the 'historical parallels' of same-sex marriage to providing students with the chance to read books about homosexual relations and then consider what it would be like to be in a same-sex wedding," CNSNews reported. Sandi Martinez, the Massachusetts state director of Concerned Women for America., told CNSNews, "Quite often parents aren't allowed to even know what's going on."

The deception to get access to "the impressionable children." Culture and Family Institute analyst Pete LaBarbera was among those who addressed the conferees attending the Concerned Women for America's national convention in Washington recently. He told the gathering's supporters that homosexual activists are getting "nastier." LaBarbera expressed that he has seen Kevin Jennings, the leader of the Gay, Lesbian Straight Education Network, use a "very bad four-letter word" -- in a church no less, that LaBarbera notes was formerly Norman Vincent Peale's church in New York City. LaBarbera said Jennings used that four-letter word to describe his attitude toward "hard-core bigots" -- which, LaBarbera says, "is people like us." LaBarbera told conferees that homosexual activists are giving up efforts to convert Christians to their side, and instead will concentrate on the moderates in society and "the impressionable children."

Reading, Writing and ? Homosexuality? by Doug Giles (2/21/2004) Gone are the Norman Rockwell days of sending young Scooter off to school with his satchel slung over his shoulder, PBJ sandwich in his Superman lunch box and a wide-eyed expectancy of learning, the kind that makes individuals and nations great.... And now I’m an officially ticked off father, as just the other day without warning and without notice both my daughters were exposed to “It’s Okay to Be Gay” propaganda presented by high school students to their classmates, including my daughters, with the approval of their high school and middle school teachers.... Teachers and kids can’t talk about Jesus Christ, Moses or Biblical ethics -- at least not in a positive, plausible sense -- in the classroom. But it’s just fine to talk about Timmy and Tommy, the Testicle Twins? About Daddy’s male roommate? About anal sex and oral sex between teenagers of the same sex? What in the world is going on? Parents, the innocence you work your butts off trying to provide your kids is being eroded, undermined or at the very least under-valued within the NEW public school systems.
