Texas judge rules homosexual man can’t leave his child alone with same-sex partner

HOUSTON, TX, September 28, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Texas judge has ruled that a homosexual man cannot leave his children alone with his sexual partner. Harris County Associate Judge Charley Prine, Jr. issued the injunction in June, although it was only signed earlier this month. The injunction was issued after William Flowers sought to change a 2004 custody arrangement with his ex-wife over their three children.

Flowers had three children with his ex-wife, Lacey. When Flowers and his ex-wife divorced in 2004, his wife was awarded custody and Flowers was given regular visitations.

In 2010, Flowers, then a practicing homosexual, “married” his homosexual partner in Connecticut. His partner has two children.

When Flowers recently sued for custody of his three children, a jury found that his ex-wife should keep the kids, though his regular visitations would continue. In an injunctive section, however, Judge Prine ordered that Flowers cannot leave his children with any man who is not part of the family “by blood or adoption,” including Flowers’ sexual partner, without the ex-wife’s express permission.

Flowers and his partner say they will appeal the ruling.

Speaking of the judge’s ruling, Flowers said, “He knows I’m homosexual. He’s knows I’m married to a man and he knew that there’d be times my children may be alone with Jim if I have to run out to work,” according to ABC News.

Jim Evans, Flowers’ partner, says that he won’t bother asking Lacey if he will be allowed to be alone with the children. “She would never ever let the kids be left with me,” he said.

When asked whether Lacey would ever give permission for Flowers’ “husband” to be alone with his children, Lacey’s attorney, Jennifer Broussard, reportedly responded, “Well, he doesn’t have a husband in Texas, dear,” according to the Houston Press.

In November 2005, Texas voters passed an amendment to the state constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman.

British Lawyer: Stop the Gay Agenda NOW!

Britain's most prominent pro-family lawyer told activists at the MassResistance Banquet on Sept. 18 that they had better fight now or it will be too late. English Barrister Paul Diamond has been involved with numerous high-profile cases in the UK and also on the European continent defending pro-family people against the tyranny of the state and corporations.

Barrister Paul Diamond made a huge impression with his description of what's happening in Britain and his assessment of the state of affairs.

He gave a riveting talk and answered questions about what's happening in Britain right now, and how America is on that same horrible path unless we take action now. He came to the US exclusively to speak to MassResistance, and during his stay was also interviewed on several radio stations in Massachusetts and across the country.

His message was blunt: "You've got to stop this now in America while you still can."

Cultural upheaval in Britain

Diamond compared today's U.S. society to Britain's in 1997. "We thought it was stable; we'd had centuries of religious tolerance," he said. Then in 1997 came a huge change in the political culture. "Human rights, equality, and non-discrimination" became buzz words backed by law, and began to be forcefully enforced against Christians by the courts.

Now 14 years later, a British couple cannot be foster parents because their Judeo-Christian beliefs are considered "homophobic." A judge ruled children must be protected from "infection" by such beliefs. The hostility of judges against religious people has even extended to their being considered as "terrorists," he said. Anti-discrimination laws have become tools to discriminate.

Diamond's personal "terrifying wake-up call" came in 2004 when a 70-year old street preacher was knocked to the ground and beaten by a gang of 30 youths because he unfurled a banner urging people to leave homosexuality and return to Jesus. Rather than arresting the attacking gang members, British police arrested the victim; they charged the preacher with inciting the attackers by "speaking hate speech."

Although Diamond had a lucrative law practice at the time, he decided then to change his priorities. "There's no point in having money if you're revolted by the country you're living in," he said. "And America is not immune to this."

At the MassResistance banquet.

Some points from his MassResistance speech

"We've got to return power to the people," he said. Diamond suggested that "middle America," like "middle England," is fearful that the country people love is being taken away. The values common to its citizens are being removed.

His advice to counteract this was threefold.

First, spread the truth. We must move out of our own sphere of influence and create debate among average Americans about the harmful truths of the homosexual agenda, he said.

"Children are pawns in an unprecedented social experiment with the most disastrous outcomes." he said. "We need explain this; liberals will lose the debate because their arguments are illogical and weak," Diamond said.

"They cannot survive rational arguments. You need to create debate."

However, be prepared to abandon false PC "respectability." "You're going to have to abandon respectability. You're not going to be liked by Harvard University or the mainstream media," he said, "but you might be heard because you'll be speaking intelligently."

Secondly, we need to keep trying to develop major media contacts to publicize the truth. (As we've seen, the media instinctively wants to ignore these types of stories.) He pointed to front-page articles that British newspapers finally printed about the absurdity of anti-discrimination policies that target and discriminate against Christians only.

For example, British Airways employees have been banned from wearing even small cross necklaces, but allowed to wear turbans, Hindu ponytails, or any other jewelry with religious symbolism. This made the front page of a major UK newspaper.

Some media personnel will see the light, he said, and others might listen because the story will sell papers.

Finally, Diamond said, pro-family activists must exchange information across borders - help each other out, as the opponents already have been doing with great skill. Much of the world's future still follows America's lead, he said. "You've been leaders of the free world not because of your wealth but because of your values."

Work and sacrifice ahead of us, he says

"You have to act now. We waited too late in Britain, He said. He went on to say that you don't want a situation where -- like in the case of the 70-year-old man -- you're charged with inciting your own attack. They are imposing a new morality. And though much of it is being built through obscure things such as housing regulations, anti-discrimination codes, etc., it all adds up to a totalitarian atmosphere.

"We've got to return the power to the people," he said. But we're living in a 'fool's paradise" if we expect this to happen without work and sacrifice. And he said that MassResistance is a group that people must support to get the job done.

And as for the Brits, he said, "We're fighting to win. We're not retreating."

A legal breath of fresh air

There's one big key to his success. If nothing else, Paul Diamond is the kind of lawyer we wish we had here, but rarely find. He's a pro-family version of the ACLU lawyers who always wipe the floor with us because they're smart, passionate, aggressive, fearless street fighters. Our lawyers - and we've seen this over and over - tend to be respectful, methodical, relatively passive, not great strategists, and generally afraid of offending liberals. What he has, you unfortunately probably can't teach. We don't want to sound unkind, but it's a big problem.

And furthermore, he's willing to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty if necessary. Too many of our lawyers want to find an easy exit that may be a long-term strategic blunder.

Sally Kern - fearless state legislator from Oklahoma

Also speaking at the banquet was Sally Kern, an Oklahoma state legislator. Kern described herself as minister's wife, a former high-school government teacher who ran and won for office in the "reddest state" in the union.

However, when she exposed a political opponent as a homosexual activist hiding his agenda (including being funded by Tim Gill), everything erupted. She was viciously attacked and targeted by the homosexual activists -- not only in Oklahoma but across the nation -- who showered her with incredible and often disgusting abuse. To make their point, in the following election they ran a transsexual against her and raised an enormous amount of money to defeat her. (She didn't back down, fought hard, and won with 66% of the vote!)

Sally Kern, State Representative from Oklahoma, addresses the MassResistance banquet.

What motivates her, Kern said, is that she actually studied the Bible and America's Founding Fathers. "I just will never compromise the principles of God's truth," she said.

Her book, The Stoning of Sally Kern, describes her ordeal but is not just autobiographic, she said. It describes the ordeal of any Judeo-Christian conservative who speaks up in the public arena. (The horrible, often infantile, abuse from homosexual activists continues. Take a look at the hate-filled comments about her book on the Amazon website.)

Scott Lively - closing remarks

Dr. Scott Lively, who has become a pro-family legend, came from Springfield and gave the benediction and closing remarks. As Paul Diamond said we must do, Dr. Lively has been working internationally. He talked about his recent pro-family successes in Eastern Europe and other countries. "We need to be starting with our neighbors but looking beyond our borders," he said. And he said that he thinks that the homosexual movement is much farther along here in America than most of us realize. But he made it clear that the counter-revolution takes root here. "We in this room, the people supporting MassResistance, are the ones who actually get things done. Starting with the simple stuff."

DVD and CD of banquet speeches to be available

If you missed it in person, this is really worth getting and listening to. We are putting together a DVD and CD of Paul Diamond's speech and more from the MassResistance banquet. Watch this space for more details.
Paul Diamond on Boston radio

Paul Diamond's message isn't exactly what the American mainstream media wants to talk about. But on Monday, Boston's Talk 1200 radio, the region's major conservative talk station (which also has Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc.) had Paul Diamond on the morning drive-time Jeff Katz show and the afternoon drive-time Jay Severin show. He was also interviewed on some national pro-family shows.

Does the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network Really Keep Kids 'Safe?'

If you want to know then watch this shocking video expose of the group GLSEN. GLSEN is all about getting access to our children when they are most vulnerable - in our public schools.

Any questions? This may be coming to a public school near you!

According to the Family Research Council:
"The video exposes GLSEN's horrific things being pushed at children, going back to the infamous "Fistgate" incident in 2000, and the horrible "Little Black Book - Queer in the 21st Century" which was given out at a GLSEN conference at Brookline High School in 2005, and other material from the MassResistance website. It also shows erotic homosexual books for teenagers which were showcased on the GLSEN website in 2008.

GLSEN has recently been awarded money by the Obama administration and has been celebrated in the White House. The group is regularly given funding by the Massachusetts Legislature through the odious Commission on Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Youth (which MassResistance has filed a bill in the MassResistance Legislature to eliminate). Major politicians and professional sports teams have supported GLSEN through their partnership with the horrific "It Gets Better" project. Many large corporations give money to GLSEN."

Iran: Three men were executed convicted of sodomy

Iran Human Rights, September 5: According to the reports from Iran, six people were hanged in the Karoun prison of Ahvaz (southwest of Iran) early Sunday morning September 4th.

The state run Iranian news agency ISNA reported that three of those executed were sentenced to death by the Ahvaz revolution court, convicted of "unlawful" acts and acts against Sharia, based on the articles 108 and 110 of the Iranian Islamic penal code. Articles 108 and 110 of the Iranian Islamic Penal code are part of the chapter covering the punishment of "Hadd" for "sodomy". Article 108 says: "Sodomy (or Lavat) is sexual intercourse between men”, and article 110 says:”Punishment for sodomy is killing; the Sharia judge decides on how to carry out the killing".

The men were identified as: "M. T.", "T. T." and "M. Ch." (age not mentioned for any of them) and besides being convicted of sodomy, had also committed other offences such as kidnapping and robbery, said the report.

Condemning the executions, the spokesperson of Iran Human Rights (IHR), Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, said: ”Yesterday’s executions for sodomy might be among the rare cases were the Iranian authorities admit to having executed men convicted of homosexual acts". He added: "Iranian authorities normally present such cases as rape, but rape as not been mentioned in this case".

IHR is currently investigating the case of the three men executed for sodomy.

According to ISNA, the three others executed in Ahvaz today, were "A. H." convicted of keeping and trafficking of 6309 grams of heroin, and "J. N." and "A. Sh." convicted of rape and robbery.

The report didn’t mention the age of those who were executed.

Amiry-Moghaddam warned about a new wave of executions scheduled for the coming weeks in Iran. He said: "After a short break in the executions due to the Holy month of Ramadan, we have received reports about many scheduled executions in the coming days and weeks in Iran". Amiry-Moghaddam added: "Many of the scheduled executions are planned to be carried out publically".

Mahmoud Asgari and Ayaz Marhoni were hanged convicted of sodomy and rape in 2005. Many Rights groups believe that the Iranian authorities present execution for homosexuality as rape, to make it more acceptable to the international community.

Hunter, Gatherer of Signatures

Just because President Obama says homosexuals can openly serve doesn't mean others can't openly object--not if Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) can help it. Over the next two weeks, the fellow Marine veteran will be sprinting to beat the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal with a bill that would protect the troops' right to free speech. As far as Hunter is concerned, if he can't protect national security by stopping the repeal from taking effect, he can at least protect the right of conscience of the servicemen and women who are afraid their opposition to homosexuality will be used against them.

Although the new policy doesn't take effect until September 20, Hunter and other conservatives are already fielding complaints from the branches about the Pentagon's progressive training materials. The California Congressmen says he's talked to dozens of active duty personnel, who say the Defense Department is "pushing the line" in its implementation of the new rules. "It is a legitimate concern," Hunter's office explained, especially as the Pentagon works on "disciplinary policies for people who don't agree with this decision." 


Under Hunter's bill, the troops have to abide by the repeal--but they don't have to like it. "The military always falls in line," a spokesman for the Congressman's office said, "but that doesn't mean that the men and women who serve in its ranks should suddenly be forced to personally accept [homosexuality]."


Essentially, the legislation would ensure that "members of the Armed Forces are not pressured to approve of another person's sexual conduct if that sexual conduct is contrary to the personal principles of that member." These "conscience protections" would give our troops just as much right to voice their opinions as others have to flaunt their sexuality. With just 13 days to go before the military opens its arms to gays and lesbians, the time to push Hunter's bill is now. 


You can help by calling your members and encouraging them to cosponsor the legislation. Our troops promised to obey orders--not surrender principles.

Obama admin called Catholic Church source of spreading “homophobia” in Poland

BY KATHLEEN GILBERT

WASHINGTON, D.C., September 6, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - While surveying the landscape for inroads to push the homosexual agenda into Poland, American embassy officials under the Obama administration complained that the Catholic Church teaching is a major source of “homophobia” in the heavily Catholic country, according to private cables recently published by Wikileaks.

The cables from the American embassy in Warsaw, marked “sensitive but unclassified,” were part of a dump of over 250,000 official government documents last week by Wikileaks.

One cable from the American embassy in Warsaw dated August 2009 pointed to the Catholic Church as central in promoting “homophobia” in the former Soviet-controlled country.

“The Catholic Church plays a significant role in the formation and propagation of anti-gay attitudes in Polish society, especially in rural areas,” states the communiqué entitled “Gay rights in Poland: long road ahead.”

Officials did note that “the Polish Episcopate has condemned violence and discrimination against gays and lesbians,” but said that message is ignored by local priests teaching that sexual attraction to the same gender is “a deviant condition.”

“Moreover, the Church continues to label homosexual acts as sins and calls on homosexuals to practice abstinence.  Most Polish opponents of gay rights cite ‘Catholic values’ and ‘natural law’ to support their views,” the cable continues.

While largely ignored, the issue of the homosexual agenda has come onto the radar of more conservative Polish statesmen: officials note that some lawmakers are readying defenses against acceptance of homosexuality in schools by drafting legislation similar to a law in Lithuania that bans favorable depictions of homosexuality.

Despite cultural and political hurdles, the American embassy appeared optimistic that the gay rights movement would eventually take hold in Poland.

The cable concludes that acceptance of homosexuality has “a long way to go” in Poland. However, it also says the situation is “gradually improving,” pointing especially to the effects of the Catholic country’s deepening economic dependence on more progressive parts of the continent.

“As Poles’ social and economic ties to Western Europe deepen, we expect homophobia will continue to decline, as well,” it states.

Another cable notes that Poland “has one of the most restrictive abortion laws in Europe” despite pressure from the United Nations to soften its legal barrier to abortion and contraception. The communiqué names Anand Grover, United Nations special envoy on health issues, as the official who chastised Poland for its pro-life laws.

Last Wednesday, the Polish parliament narrowly voted down a total ban on all abortions despite an immense surge of support from the Polish people for the ban.

The real agenda behind gay anti-bullying clubs in your school

By Peter Baklinski

WALTHAM, Massachusetts September 6, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Back in the early 1990’s most people in North America would have doubted there would ever come a day when the homosexual agenda would be accepted with open arms in elementary and high schools.  Today however, that agenda is firmly implanted in public schools and is quickly making its way into Catholic schools, thanks to a well-planned strategy laid out by radical gay activists in 1995.

In the early 90’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered (GLBT) activists in Massachusetts sought to indoctrinate school children with homosexual values. GLBT activist Kevin Jennings, who was later appointed by President Obama as the assistant deputy secretary of the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools inside the Department of Education, masterminded the scheme of gay anti-bullying programs as a perfect inroad into the otherwise resistant classrooms of the nation.

“If the Radical Right can succeed in portraying us as preying on children, we will lose,” warned Jennings in a 1995 speech to fellow GLBT activists outlining his strategy. “Their language–‘promoting homosexuality’–is laced with subtle and not-so-subtle innuendo that we are ‘after their kids.’”

Jennings argued that the key to success lay in “framing” the issue in another way, to the advantage of the GLBT cause.

The strategy consists in linking the GLBT cause to “universal values” that everyone in the community has in common, such as “safety.” One then builds on this universal value the idea that “homophobia” represents a “threat” to students’ safety since it creates a “climate where violence, name-calling, health problems, and suicide are common.” From this point, one simply promotes legislation and programs for schools that frames the GLBT agenda in the language of these universal values.

“This framing short-circuited their arguments and left them back-pedalling from day one,” boasted Jennings. “[N]o one could speak up against our frame and say, ‘Why, yes, I do think students should kill themselves:’ This allowed us to set the terms for debate.”

Jennings realized that this strategy would effectively throw any opposition into a defensive mode and steal their best line of attack. If anyone objected to the homosexual and transgender indoctrination that the activists planned to push in the schools, they would be accused of heartless disregard for students.

Despite the fact that it has been executed time and time again for almost two decades the methods and talking points have hardly changed at all. A recent policy to address “homophobic harassment and bullying, and homophobia and heterosexism” approved by the Board of Education in Burnaby, BC followed Jennings’ strategy precisely, right down to the language of “safety.”

Policy # 5.45 states that to “ensure that all members of the school community work together in an atmosphere of respect and safety regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, the Board of Education will adopt appropriate administrative regulations and strategies that promote respect for human rights, support diversity, and address discrimination.”

The final goal of the campaign, according to Jennings, is that one day when, “straight people” hear that someone is “promoting homosexuality,” he would say “‘Yeah, who cares?’ because they wouldn’t necessarily equate homosexuality with something bad that you would not want to promote.”

While much of the past 15 years has left the goals of the gay ant-bullying scheme carefully unspoken, a recent article in an online homosexual publication let the cat out of the bag.

“Why would we push anti-bullying programs or social studies classes that teach kids about the historical contributions of famous queers unless we wanted to deliberately educate children to accept queer sexuality as normal?,” wrote Daniel Villarreal on Queerty.com, a website that promotes the gay agenda.

“We want educators to teach future generations of children to accept queer sexuality. In fact, our very future depends on it. Recruiting children? You bet we are,” he added.

“I for one,” continued Villarreal, “certainly want tons of school children to learn that it’s OK to be gay, that people of the same sex should be allowed to legally marry each other, and that anyone can kiss a person of the same sex without feeling like a freak. And I would very much like for many of these young boys to grow up and start f**ing men.”

Outraged parents oust gay sex books from New Jersey school reading list

MONROE TWP, New Jersey, September 2, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Two books, one containing an explicit depiction of statutory lesbian rape, and the other a homosexual orgy, have been ousted from a local high school by outraged New Jersey parents.

The texts, “Norwegian Wood” and “Tweak: Growing up on Methamphetamines,” originally appeared on the summer reading list for both middle school and high school students at Monroe Township schools this year.

“Norwegian Wood,” a novel by Haruki Murakami, includes a graphic depiction of a 31-year-old woman raping a 13-year-old girl, while “Tweak,” a story about addiction, describes a homosexual orgy scene as well as the details of drug use.

The books, school officials say, were included on the list by a group of teachers, librarians, and administrators, and approved by the board of education. Chuck Earling, superintendent of Monroe Township Schools in Williamstown, N.J., told Fox News that the committee “didn’t feel it was inappropriate based on the language that’s used, common language used on the street.” 

However, after outrage from local parents, the district yanked the books, and Earling apologized. “We were not trying to create controversy. We were just trying to get students to read,” he said.

The Family Research Council’s Peter Sprigg told Fox that the affair was a lesson to parents to keep watch over what their kids are reading in schools. “Here we see the intersection of parental values being offended, the hyper-sexualization of our youth and the homosexual agenda being pushed,” Sprigg told Fox News Radio.

“Exposing children to graphic sexual content – that is not as evil as censorship in the minds of some left-wing activists.”

Books exploring the homosexual lifestyle have been making their way into public schools across America in recent years, particularly in states where same-sex “marriage” has been legalized.

In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a Massachusetts father’s plea to opt-out his kindergartener from listening to homosexual children’s books, or at least to be notified of the objectionable material.

A California law signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in June mandates that textbooks in pubic schools statewide teach children about “the role and contributions of” homosexual American historical figures, and forbids materials that “contain any matter reflecting adversely” upon gays on the basis of sexual identification.. The law is automatically on hold after conservatives leaders launched a referendum effort to put the textbook question before California voters.
