JUDICIAL TYRANNY: Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin decried the Supreme Court action opening up the door to legal homosexual “marriages” in her state. In 2004, Oklahoma voters passed an amendment to preserve marriage as between a man and a woman by a three to one margin. Nevertheless, counterfeit “gay marriages” began yesterday in the conservative state.

AFTAH Calls for ‘Civil Disobedience on a Massive Scale’ in Response to SCOTUS Ruling Imposing Homosexual “Marriage” by Default in Five More States

Statement by AFTAH President Peter LaBarbera:

We are witnessing a “gradual Roe v. Wade” by which unelected judges impose homosexual ‘marriage’ on the nation. Hubris rules the day as millions of Americans’ votes defending actual marriage (one man, one woman) are negated by one court ruling after another. Each decision bastardizes America’s noble quest for racial justice by invoking “equality” for unions based on disordered sexual behavior that can never be “equal” to God-ordained sex within marriage. Now the nation’s highest court is content to let the ongoing disenfranchisement become law.

Yesterday’s action by the Supreme Court only solidifies the idea that the powerful elites who dominate politics, media and culture do not care what the people think, expressed through the ballot box or their elected state legislators. And if “We the People’s” votes do not count, then We live not in freedom but under tyranny.

The notion that nine men and women in black robes know more about what constitutes marriage than 76 percent of Oklahoma’s voters is insulting and preposterous. Now is the time for civil disobedience on a massive scale: we hope that statesmen and citizens alike–in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Indiana, Utah and Virginia—indeed, any state where the people’s will has been robbed by elitist judges—will reassert their state sovereignty against escalating judicial supremacy.

From a moral and spiritual perspective, no court or government action can—to quote from the ill-informed ruling by Appeals Court Judge Richard Posner–“confer respectability on a sexual relationship” between two people of the same sex. Homosexual activists yearn to be told that their defining sin is not a sin at all—and legalizing genderless “marriage” is their holy grail to achieve that end. “Love is love,” we are told, or rather scolded. But God is not mocked: the Scriptures are clear that homosexual practice is an offense against both God and the very bodies of those who practice it (as is all sexual immorality).

The truly loving thing for Christians to do is not to “bless” same-sex relationships but to guide men and women caught up in false homosexual identities to the One, Jesus, who will forgive them and guide them to a life pleasing to God.

Folks, here is the link for my September 26 interview with Christian Salem Radio talk show host Janet Mefferd [Click HERE to listen]. We discussed the Human Rights Campaign’s vicious “Export of Hate” report that smeared me and others in the pro-family movement as dark figures spreading “hate” around the world. In the interview I compared our treatment at the hands of “gay” propagandists to the Nazis’ dehumanization and demonization of Jews.

To make me look extreme, “gay” activist Jeremy Hooper of the powerful homosexual media advocacy group GLAAD absurdly extrapolated from my quotes in the interview to suggest that I was claiming (literally) that pro-family conservatives could expect to be victims of genocide, etc., identical to the Jews. Jeremy’s analytical skills are wanting to say the least–and he mischievously didn’t even include a reference or link to the actual HRC report with its obviously demonizing and dehumanizing graphics–which, after all, was the entire subject of our interview! [See Hooper’s sophomoric and dishonest GLAAD post HERE.]

MALIGNING PEOPLE OF FAITH: This dehumanizing graphic (of AFTAH president Peter LaBarbera) by the homosexual lobby group Human Rights Campaign in its nasty “Export of Hate” report was the subject of  the Janet Mefferd interview.

I tried to explain on Twitter to Hooper that I was referring to Nazi propaganda that dehumanized Jews, e.g., portraying them as rats, but he would have none of it. Then I asked Mefferd for her response to Hooper’s exaggerated take on our interview, and she responded in an email to me below:

“You clearly made the comparison ONLY in the context of “demonization,” not — by the wildest stretch — in the context of forced incarceration and/or genocide [like the Jews under Hitler]. It would be interesting to have read Jeremy’s analysis about the HRC report itself, but he doesn’t even mention it. And what is that report, if not the intentional demonization of Christian leaders who are standing up for marriage? The crux of the problem is that Jeremy approves of what the HRC wrote, while Christians don’t. Why not just address that subject directly, minus the pejoratives?”

Well stated, Janet. Here’s the link to the interview:

Author of key “gay marriage” ruling espouses unproven “born gay” theory

UNINFORMED: Judge Richard Posner needs to meet some EX-“gays.”

By Peter LaBarbera

It is no small thing to accuse renowned legal scholar Richard Posner, Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and author of a recent controversial ruling in favor of homosexual “marriage,” of being ignorant—but it appears that is the case when it comes to Posner’s assertion that homosexuality is “immutable.”

It has been said of the prolific Posner, author of nearly 40 books, that he ”writes the way other men breathe,” but apparently the judge has never breathed in the wonderful reality that many men and women have overcome the destructive pull of homosexuality in their lives. Posner writes in the Appeals Court decision September 4 striking down Wisconsin’s and Indiana’s pro-traditional marriage laws:

“The challenged laws discriminate against a minority defined by an immutable characteristic…And there is little doubt that sexual orientation, the ground of the [anti-“gay marriage”] discrimination, is an immutable (and probably an innate, in the sense of in-born) characteristic rather than a choice” [pages 7, 9]

Such simplistic and unproven assertions cover over a multitude of politically incorrect facts and nuances that contradict the “gay” activist claim that “sexual orientation”–itself a tendentious social construct–is inborn, innocuous and unchangeable. This false narrative conveniently serves homosexual activists who insist theirs is a “civil rights” movement akin to Black Americans’ noble struggle for equality.
