Gays Die Sooner: Implications for Adoption

Christian Newswire March 27, 2007

“The life span of gays is 20-plus years shorter than the life span of heterosexuals.” — Dr. Paul Cameron of the Family Research Institute

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 27 /Christian Newswire/ — “The life span of gays is 20- plus years shorter than the life span of heterosexuals,” states Dr. Paul Cameron of the Family Research Institute, a Colorado-based think tank. “This shortened lifespan,” he warned, “has profound implications for adoption. On average, in Norway and Denmark — where same-sex marriage is legal – married lesbians lived to age 56 and married gay men to age 52. So the chances that a gay-adopted child will lose one or both parents before graduating from high school are much greater than they would be with a married man and woman.”

When Will Bisexuals Drag Homosexuals out of Polygamy Closet?

Townhall.com Janet M. LaRue December 22, 2006

Homosexuals continue to push for marriage equality but ‘resist’ polygamy.

In 1972 the National Coalition of Gay Organizations demanded the “repeal of all legislative provisions that restrict the sex or number of persons entering into a marriage unit; and the extension of legal benefits to all persons who cohabit regardless of sex or numbers.” So why aren’t homosexual activists leading the battle to legalize polygamy?

Going Beyond Same-Sex Marriage

Ed. Speaking of the moral decline of our culture…

American Spectator Mark Tooley August 15, 2006

WASHINGTON — Advocates of same-sex unions of course argue that they only want equality for homosexual persons. Conservative skeptics surmise that the campaign to redefine marriage is about considerably more than simply legal recognition for same-sex couples. In fact, they suspect, the ultimate goal is to set aside marriage altogether as a repressive and patriarchal anachronism. In its absence, all consensual sexual arrangements will be legitimate.

New US church leader says homosexuality no sin

Ed. What happens when a man enters the world with the affections ordered toward, say, five different women or another woman and another man. Do those relationships qualify for marriage too? Following the thinking of the new Episcopal bishop, it should.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) Mon Jun 19, 2006

Newly elected leader of the U.S. Episcopal Church Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said on Monday she believed homosexuality was no sin and homosexuals were created by God to love people of the same gender.

New EU Law Forces Homosexual ‘Marriage’ on All Member States

Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute Samantha Singson May 5, 2006

A new law may force nations in the European Union to accept same-sex unions from other nations. The European Free Movement Directive entered into legal force last week and it requires EU member states to grant residency to homosexuals who are not citizens if their partner is a citizen of an EU country.

Mass. Democrats expected to back gay marriage

Boston Globe Raphael Lewis, Globe Staff | May 4, 2005

The Massachusetts Democratic Party is poised next week to add an endorsement of gay marriage to its platform, despite a nationwide backlash against same-sex marriage that led voters to approve bans in 11 states last fall.

Philip W. Johnston, the state Democratic Party chairman, said yesterday that the party’s 3,000 delegates will consider the platform change May 14, three days before the first anniversary of legalized same-sex marriage in Massachusetts. State Democratic parties in Iowa and Colorado added endorsements of same-sex marriage to their platforms last year.

If approved by the party delegates, the new addition to the Democratic Party’s platform will read: ”We affirm our commitment to the Massachusetts constitutional guarantee to same-sex marriage, and all of its rights, privileges, and obligations, and reject any attempt to weaken or revoke those rights.”

Gay priests’ lovers to get pensions

From London Telegraph Online:

The Church of England is to grant partners of homosexual clergy who have registered under the Government’s new civil partnership scheme the same pension rights as clergy spouses.

The disclosure, made at the General Synod last night, could prove an embarrassment to the bishops because sexually active homosexuals are theoretically barred from the priesthood.

Only a few homosexual clergy have so far risked facing censure by publicly declaring that they are living in same-sex unions, but the prospect of gaining pension rights for their partners may prove an incentive for many more to “come out”.

The bishops plan to issue a letter for the guidance of clergy and others before the Act comes into force.

The Next Sexual Revolution

From Christianity Today website. Noted by Jennifer Roback Morse on her website The Marriage Revolution.

By practicing what it preaches on marriage, the church could transform society.
A Christianity Today editorial | posted 08/27/2003

Same-sex marriage makes perfect sense–if you buy North American culture’s take on sex and marriage. More than four decades after the introduction of the Pill, hardly anyone now getting married remembers the time when pleasure, procreation, passion, companionship, and parenthood were all intimately knotted into a bundle called marriage. Without those connections, marriage has become an arena for mere self-fulfillment and sexual expression. Even the Ontario Court, in its June 10 affirmation of same-sex marriage, could describe marriage as only an expression of love and commitment. If that is all there is to marriage, why not grant the same legal benefits to committed same-sex couples as to married heterosexuals?
