Print This Flyer and Take It to Wal-Mart!
August 25th, 2006By Tony Perkins of Family Research Council:
Wal-Mart has announced an odd new domestic “partnership.” They have teamed up with an outfit called the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. Wal-Mart has caved in, obviously, to the pressure tactics such groups apply to large corporations.
This is outrageous. Wal-Mart has made its billions by serving the needs of rural communities throughout America. It has never discriminated against homosexuals who want to purchase their products at low prices. Nor has it discriminated in hiring against homosexuals. But that is not enough. The homosexual lobby demands that Wal-Mart grovel. They demand that Wal-Mart take sides in the great cultural clash over marriage.
Won’t you please join me in opposing this offensive move? You can download and print the accompanying pdf file and drop it off at the Customer Service Desk at your nearest Wal-Mart. You don’t need to confront anyone. Let them know you know what they’re up to-and you don’t appreciate it.
Gay Rights vs. Religious Beliefs
August 25th, 2006Today’s Philadelphia Inquirer published an op-ed by Becket Fund Legal Counsel Roger Severino entitled, “Gay rights vs. religious beliefs.” After discussing the City of Philadelphia’s recent decision to penalize the Boy Scouts financially for their moral opposition to same-sex conduct, Roger explains that this is just on example of a broader problem:
Like the Boy Scouts, religious institutions that oppose same-sex marriage will find themselves no longer welcome as partners in a variety of government social-service programs – from family counseling, to addiction programs, to job-placement services – and may even lose their access to public land for religious retreats, just as the Boy Scouts have lost their access to public land for their Jamborees.
In the employment context, religious institutions would be prohibited – on pain of “marital status discrimination” lawsuits – from firing an employee who publicly rejects the institution’s opposition to same-sex marriage by obtaining one. Religious employers might even be forced, against their principles, to extend health and retirement benefits to their employees’ same-sex spouses.
Religious universities that provide married-student housing would be required to provide rooms to everyone legally married, including same-sex couples, even if the university objects on moral grounds. And this problem is hardly speculative or alarmist – it’s already happening on a small scale, even before the legal redefinition of marriage makes it much more common. For example, fair-housing laws have already been applied in New York City to require Yeshiva University to open up its married-student housing to same-sex domestic partners.
Are Wal-Mart Values Family Values?
August 24th, 2006AN AMERICANS FOR TRUTH PRESS RELEASE
Is Wal-Mart passing the wrong kind of ‘values’ on to its customers? It’s no secret that Walmart Stores, Inc. has been under vicious attack in recent months by leftists and union activists due to its unwavering support of right-to-work policies and its refusal to allow unions to organize in its stores. But now it seems Wal-Mart is additionally hell-bent on alienating its heretofore greatest and most vocal supporters: Conservatives, Christians, and Traditionalists.
Matt Barber, Corporate Outreach Director for Americans for Truth, expressed his disappointment with Wal-Mart today for further capitulating to the powerful homosexual lobby by recently partnering with the “National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce,” an extremely influential homosexual organization steadfastly devoted to furthering the ‘gay’ agenda within corporate America.

NEA Escalates Support for Homosexual Agenda
August 24th, 2006Highlights from the American Family Association’s (AFA) informative webpage on the NEA (National Education Association):
- NEA passed a resolution supporting homosexual “marriage” and homosexual adoption.
- NEA recommended that GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender) issues training be required content for teacher credentialing. (Such training is usually biased strongly toward the homosexual activist side.)
- NEA upgraded their language from tolerance of homosexuality to acceptance and respect for homosexuality.
- NEA refused to pass this amendment: “To protect the rights of all students, the Association believes sexual contact between education professionals and minor students is unacceptable.”
- NEA signed a letter opposing the Federal Marriage Amendment.
PTA: Peril for Parents?
August 24th, 2006Regina Griggs, founder of PFOX (Parents & Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays) writes:
Do the initials “PTA” bring to mind innocuous parent-teacher meetings and parent-student school projects? Think again. The national Parent Teacher Association, fondly known as PTA, is under the leadership of chief executive officer Warlene Gary. Ms. Gary previously served as the National Education Association’s human rights director and that school union’s liaison to gay interest groups.

Canadian Professor Fined for Letter to His Own Pastor
August 22nd, 2006Excerpted from Canadian Professor Fined for Stating Opposition to Homosexuality, published July 26, 2006, by Agape Press:
Canadian professor David Mullan has been fined two weeks pay ($2100) after a homosexual student took umbrage at two letters the professor had written to his former Anglican bishop two years ago.
Is this the future of freedom of speech and freedom of religion in America if the homosexual lobby achieves its goal of passing interlocking state, local and federal “Hate Crimes” laws treating “sexual orientation” violations on a par with racism?
Harvard Students: Three Genders?
August 22nd, 2006Excerpted from Harvard Introduces Third Gender, published Aug 25, 2006, by WDC Media News:
Students looking to enter the Harvard Business School MBA program are asked to fill out an online profile that offers three choices of gender: female, male, or transgender.
Bob Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute (CFI) at Concerned Women for America, says “it’s not compassionate” for Harvard to encourage people to reject their “God-given natures”…
“The foundation of the transgender movement is the homosexual activist movement,” he explains, “because their interest lies in getting rid of the traditional morality of God-given division into two sexes, the uniting of those two sexes in marriage.” And the homosexual and transgender agendas “militate” against that completely…
LaBarbera to Leave IFI to Re-launch Americans for Truth as a Group Devoted Solely to Countering ‘Gay’ Movement
August 20th, 2006
Naperville, Illinois–Peter LaBarbera, the founder of Americans for Truth, has resigned from Illinois Family Institute to assume full-time duties re-launching AFT as a national organization devoted solely to confronting the homosexual activist agenda.
“I am delighted that soon I will be able to devote my full time and energies to Americans for Truth and its goal of educating citizens on the threat that the powerful and well-funded ‘GLBT’ (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender) movement poses to children, marriage and freedom,” said LaBarbera, who will be staying on at IFI for several weeks leading up to the November election to help with the transition.
“Homosexual, bisexual, and transsexual groups spend tens of millions of dollars every year to market and normalize their aberrant lifestyles, yet after all these years there is not a single, serious national group dedicated specifically to exposing and countering their agendas,” he said.
“It’s time for Americans to unapologetically resist the demands of this lobby, and to counter the lies upon which it is built-the foremost being that certain people are inherently or ‘born’ homosexual and that this is a civil rights issue.”
Americans for Truth, which is based in Naperville, Illinois, outside of Chicago, was formed in 1996 but has been dormant for years. Under the reorganization plan, a team of volunteer leader-activists will be working with AFT across the country, including:
Matt Barber, AFT Corporate Outreach Director, Colorado; Barber gained national attention when he was fired by Allstate Insurance Company after writing an online article critical of “gay marriage”;
Mike Heath, executive director of the Christian Civic League of Maine; Heath is a veteran pro-family activist who twice led a successful grassroots effort to overturn a “sexual orientation” law in Maine;
Sonja Dalton, AFT Research Analyst, Illinois;
Donna Miller, AFT Southern Coordinator, North Carolina
Allyson Smith, AFT Researcher/Writer, California
“AFT’s goal is to become a leading resource for Americans seeking to confront the homosexual agenda. We will operate in a spirit of love and truth commanded by God, who is holy and yet gracious and compassionate,” LaBarbera said.
“The reality we face is that the same ‘gay’ movement that has reached unparalleled power and influence also aims to redefine traditional Judeo-Christian sexual mores as ‘hatred,’ ‘bigotry,’ and ‘phobic’ prejudice on a par with racism,” he said. “Most Americans are simply unaware of the tremendous threat to freedom and morality that this radical ideology poses to society and especially to committed people of faith.”
LaBarbera said that AFT will affirm the truth: homosexual behavior is always wrong and yet it is changeable as evinced by the thousands of former ‘gay’ men and lesbians who have overcome homosexual desires and are now living contented lives across the nation.
“I sincerely believe that nobody has to be ‘gay,'” he said.
