The U.S. diplomatic corps, much of which hails from far-Left Ivy League institutions, has been the most defiant when it comes to obeying POTUS Donald Trump’s policies, as evident by the fact that several American embassies have hoisted the “gay pride” rainbow flag in defiance of the president. After the Trump administration formally denied requests from multiple United States embassies to hoist the LGBT flag in honor of “Pride Month,” several of them, along with other diplomatic missions, are doing it anyway.

Following the illegal ruling of the Supreme Court regarding marriage on Friday, the Obama White House (the People's House) was turned into a flag of fist-waving against the Almighty God, whom our original founders, the Pilgrims, established this land in His name. "Tonight, the White House was lit to demonstrate our unwavering commitment to progress and equality, here in America and around the world," a White House official said. "The pride colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community, and tonight, these colors celebrate a new chapter in the history of American civil rights," the official added. There is nothing...

[ . . . ] ". . . But I’m even more concerned for what this means for the church in America. Dr. Russell Moore made a statementthat bears repeating: In another sense, though, the marginalization of conjugal marriage in American culture has profound implications for our gospel witness. First of all, marriage isn’t incidental to gospel preaching. There’s a reason why persons don’t split apart like amoebas. We were all conceived in the union between a man and a woman. Beyond the natural reality, the gospel tells us there’s a cosmic mystery (Eph. 5:32). God designed the one-flesh union...

Every year he has been in office President Obama has made it a point to cozy up to America’s tiny homosexual activist minority by officially recognizing June as “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.” This year, of course, was no exception. Having just come out officially in favor of legalizing same-sex “marriage,” the President followed up on June 1 by issuing this year’s proclamation setting aside the entire month to commemorate the valuable contributions that gays, lesbians, transvestites, and an odds-and-ends assortment of sexually- and gender-confused individuals have made to American society. “The lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)...

[FPN - 10/7/08] - Many citizens throughout California (see their comments below) have joined a nationwide boycott against Hallmark Incorporated, in response to that company's introduction of so-called "same-sex couple" greeting cards. The boycott, which was announced in August by Family Policy Network, has begun to attract supporters in cities and towns throughout the nation. The text of the Boycott Hallmark petition reads as follows: To: Hallmark Cards CEO Donald J. Hall In Isaiah 5:20, God warns against exchanging good for evil by saying, "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and...

Supporters of Proposition 8, which would ban same-sex marriage in California, are running their first television ad.The commercial features San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom making a celebratory speech. The state Supreme Court had just invalidated a law overwhelmingly passed by voters in 2000 that declared "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." Following is a text of the ad and an analysis by Aurelio Rojas of The Bee's Capitol Bureau: The ad Newsom: This door's wide open now.

State field director predicts second, even first in Iowa It seems like when we're young, we like to break a few rules.  Staying out a little too late, sneaking a drink before that official legal age, or backing a candidate who's outside the established mold (YEEEEEAH!) Several of those dynamics were on display Saturday at Olive Court, a notoriously wild tailgate spot three blocks from Iowa City's Kinnick Stadium.  It was here, just a year ago, that John Kerry was infamously photographed with a beer bong.  And into the anarchy marched the Ron Paul revolution. Ron Paul wasn't imbibing...

Sacramento, Nov 2, 2007 / 11:10 am (CNA).- A Bay Area Middle School has canceled a scheduled cross-dressing or “gender-switch” day after parents complained, according to an Oct. 30 Pacific Justice Institute news release. The Sacramento-based institute is a legal organization that defends parental rights, religious freedom, and other civil liberties. Adams Middle School in Brentwood encouraged students to cross-dress – boys wearing girls clothing, girls wearing boys’ clothing – on the last day of “Spirit Week,” Friday, Nov. 2. Parents were given little notice of the event, said the Pacific Justice Institute, and only found out about it after...

"In the first place God made idiots," observed Mark Twain. "This was for practice. Then he made school boards." The San Francisco Board of Education's 4-2 vote last week to abolish the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program, which has been active in the city's high schools for 90 years, tends to support his view. Why is JROTC being done away with? It isn't for lack of interest. More than 1,600 San Francisco students currently take part in its voluntary activities. "Kids love this program as if it's family," notes the San Francisco Chronicle. It is "a program that students...

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - A pastor on Monday called for a national boycott of Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and other companies that support a gay civil rights bill, saying the corporations have underestimated the power of religious consumers. The Rev. Ken Hutcherson, pastor of Antioch Bible Church in the Seattle suburb of Redmond, said he would formally issue the boycott Thursday on the conservative radio show Focus on the Family. "We're tired of sitting around thinking that morals can be ignored in our country," he said. "This is not a threat, this is a promise. Check out the past presidential election. We...

I have read many messages which object to same-sex marriage but I am still waiting to learn what specific adverse consequences opponents of gay marriage anticipate to result from its legalization. In other words, suppose same-sex marriage becomes law during 2005. By 2010 or 2015 what specific indisputable adverse consequences to society do opponents predict to occur? With respect to those critics of same-sex marriage who refer to "God's law" and "procreation" --- do they believe that heterosexual couples who cannot have children, or who do not wish to have children, should also NOT be allowed to marry? The essence...

Sinacore, the George Mason University associate director of Equity and Diversity Services who was recently arrested on charges of recording sexual encounters with minors, was arrested again Oct. 28 and has been the subject of continued student concern and an announcement by Provost Peter Stearns.

They're traveling across the country on their off weekends to spread the word, and last week Michelle Clunie, Scott Lowell and Robert Gant from the cast of the Showtime original series "Queer As Folk" spoke to the gay press via a national conference call. Their message is simple: Bush must go. "I am sure that this is one of the most important elections we may ever see in America," said Clunie, who spoke first. "America is divided right now. There are two futures ahead of us and we have the ability to choose whether we want to live in a...

BREAKING NEWS Fayetteville, AR 10/28/04, 4:21 pm central A rash of vandalism has struck the campaign signes of Republican US Senate Candidate Jim Holt. Very few signs in west Fayetteville have gone unscathed. It appears the vandals have focused on Holt's "Protect Marriage" signage, placing large signs that read "Bigot" immediately adjacent to Holt's message, carving out large holes in Holt's signs in the shape of a triangle- a GLBT symbol, and in many cases using spray paint to convey their message on top of Holt's "Protect Marriage" message. Arkansas voters will soon decide proposed Amendment 3, which bans gay...

PORTSMOUTH, Va. — An elementary educator who taught classes until last year was charged with having images of nude youths and using his computer to solicit children. It was not clear if any alleged victims had been students of Kelly Karl Bowen (search), 30. "We can't even tell you how many victims there are yet," Assistant Attorney General Russell E. McGuire said at a bond hearing Thursday. "These kids, we need to find out who they are. We need to get them into counseling." The investigation began June 17 when an undercover officer had an Internet chat with someone posing...
