Last night I found myself at the hospital. Nothing too serious, but I noticed a graphic on the room's computer's idle slideshow. This is a rather strange thing to boast about, isn't it? I am routinely told that the LGBT community is no different than the heterosexual community. … [Read more...]

Same-sex marriage advocates routinely frame the debate in terms of rights deprivation. It is argued that by disallowing same-sex marriage that you are somehow discriminating against homosexuals. I reject this notion because it misunderstands what equal treatment actually means. So let me present … [Read more...]
In a previous post Atticus, a guest poster to this site, argued in favor of same-sex marriage as it relates to property rights. This is my response.

Last week social media was thick with this and similar images. The icon, which is a recoloring of the HRC's ordinary blue field and yellow lines, was donned to show support for "marriage equality". I'm sure I've asked this before, but what is marriage equality? What needs to be the case in order … [Read more...]
I wrote this a while back and now that same sex marriage is being heavily reported on it's worth reiterating. You will hear many on the Religious Left making claims that Jesus loves homosexuals. This in and of itself is true, but it needs clarification which they are neither willing to provide, … [Read more...]
Someone read me the thoughts of someone with whom they are friends with via social media on the same-sex marriage issue now in the news again.

There seems to be a common criticism from what seems to be everyone about everyone else with whom they disagree. 'They are too much this, or are too inflexible about that'. Christians are too archaic regarding women in leadership roles within the church and too close-minded about homosexual sexual … [Read more...]
If I had to place my finger on the most contentious issue the secular world takes with Christian ethics is its stance on sexuality. Without a doubt, the Old and New Testaments condemn certain sexual relations in the strongest terms available. Be it adultery, sex out of wedlock, beastiality, or … [Read more...]

Opposition to gay men serving as Boy Scout leaders shouldn't be as controversial as it has been.
