Words Of Prophecy From A Founding Father

"Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of an established religion tends to make the clergy unresponsive to their own people, and leads to corruption within religion itself. Erecting the 'wall of separation between church and state,' therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society."

Charles Barkley Calls For NCAA To Pull Final Four Games From Indiana

From Gaystar News:
National Basketball Association legend Charles Barkley wants college basketball to remove its most important game out of Indiana.
Every March and April the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) holds its Final Four tournament (March Madness).
This year the championship will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Earlier this week, Governor Mike Pence signed a bill allowing anyone - including private businesses and organizations - to discriminate against LGBT people and others based on religious beliefs.
'Discrimination in any form is unacceptable to me,' Barkley said in a statement, according to Talking Points Memo.
'As long as anti-gay legislation exists in any state, I strongly believe big events such as the Final Four and Super Bowl should not be held in those states’ cities,' the statement continued.
The Super Bowl is the championship game of the National Football League.
Barkley, who is also an analyst during the Final Four, is an LGBT ally.
He defended Michael Sam when the National Football rookie came out. Basketball journeyman, and out gay man, Jason Collins also received Barkley's praises.
The Hall of Famer has always dismissed questions about gay players being a disruption in the lockers.
 'I think it's an insult to gay people to think that they are going to be looking at their teammates in a sexual way' the retired ball player once said in a CNN interview

'That's an insult to all gay men,' he continued.

Disarming Hate With Love

Shane Bitney Crone has been through a lot in his young life.
The love of his life, Tom Bridegroom, died after accidentally falling from a rooftop during a photo shoot. Despite their having been together for six years, Bridegroom's family did not invite Crone to the funeral and tried to erase any evidence that their son was gay.
But the evidence is for the world to see in the acclaimed documentary Bridegroom which Crone brought this week to the University of Texas at Tyler for a screening.
Crone shares on social media that while the film was playing, a prayer circle formed in the lobby. He watched as the small group congregated and quietly prayed for 'everyone inside that theater to see the truth.'
'Apparently a local Catholic group on Facebook had put out a call to action, urging "prayer warriors" to get down to the screening of the "controversial" film,' Crone writes in a lengthy Facebook post about the incident.
Instead of getting mad, when the film finished, Crone invited the prayer group to join him for the Q&A.
'They seemed shocked by my hospitality and a few even approached me afterwards to apologize for the fact that I had been discriminated against by other Christians,' he writes.
He appreciated their sympathy but shares that their sentiments came with a caveat: 'But you have a choice to act on your impulses to sin.'
Crone said to them: 'If all sins are equal, then it's hard for me to comprehend why an entire group of you would have an emergency prayer session outside of the screening of a film that tells a love story about two men.
'If you are willing to go to such great lengths to stop everything you're doing to try and 'save' everyone who came to the screening, shouldn't you be having these same kind of prayer circles around divorce attorneys' offices to "save" people from acting on the sin of divorce?'
He also pointed out other things in the bible considered a sin such as eating shellfish or being left handed.

'I am shocked by the amount of time, energy, and money people spend trying to deny LGBT people equal rights,' he writes. 'Imagine if that same time, energy, and money were spent combating world hunger or curing cancer; the world would be a healthier, happier place, I am sure.'

Crone is absolutely correct, Jesus taught that the wages of all sin is death *all* sin.
Since everyone, including these "prayer warriors" will die and every single one of us will die, then it's safe to conclude, everyone is a sinner, including these prayer warriors.
So what makes them think they have some special dispensation to pass judgement onto others?
None whatsoever! 

Ontario, Canada to ban ‘ex-gay’ therapies on LGBT minors

Ontario looks to become the next North American jurisdiction to ban so-called ‘ex-gay’ therapies aimed at ‘curing’ young people of their sexual orientation or gender identity after provincial Health Minister Eric Hoskins said he would move to ban the practice.
Hoskins said he would write to medical regulatory bodies to instruct them to prohibit the practice after New Democrat lawmaker Cheri Di Novo introduced her own bill to ban the practice earlier this month.
‘This is not something this government would ever support or endorse,’ Hoskins said on Thursday, referring to so-called ‘reparative therapies.’
Hoskins will approach the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and similar bodies regulating psychologists ‘to explore amending the regulations to ban this practice, as it should be banned.’ ‘This isn’t treatment. Our Ontario Human Rights Code is very specific on issues such as this.’ ‘No current medical guidelines anywhere that I’ve found, certainly not in this province, support or endorse this kind of alleged treatment that would aim to change or convert someone away from being LGBT.’
Hoskins encouraged anyone who had been subjected to ‘ex-gay’ therapies to contact his ministry or the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario to report the therapist or physicians involved. However Di Novo said it was laughable that vulnerable LGBT youths would be able to self-report being subjected to ‘ex-gay’ therapies and she still plans to bring her bill forward for debate next Thursday in the hope of creating a legal rather than regulatory ban of the practice.
‘Just imagine you’re a child -you’re going to complain to the College of Physicians and Surgeons if you’re 8 years old or 12 years old?’ she said, according to Toronto’s The Star newspaper. The moves to ban the practice came after a series of investigative reports by The Star which found that the Living Waters ex-gay ministry had been able to register as a charitable organization for tax purposes in Canada - and claims that some therapists had been billing the Ontario Health Insurance Plan for reparative therapy sessions with LGBT clients.

United Nations Bitch Slaps Russia And Extends Benefits To Spouses Of Gay Staff Members

The United Nations will extend benefits to the spouses of gay staff members.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced in July that the United Nations would recognize the marriages of gay staff member for the purpose of benefits.

Thirty-seven countries supported a Russian proposal to drop the plan, but a U.N. General Assembly budget committee on Tuesday overwhelmingly (80-43) voted against Russia's measure.

The U.N. previously only recognized the marriages of gay staff members if their country recognized such unions. Under the new plan, the United Nations will recognize the legal marriages of gay staff members, regardless of whether their home countries recognize such marriages.

U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power criticized Russia.

“We must speak plainly about what Russia tried to do today: diminish the authority of the U.N. secretary-general and export to the U.N. its domestic hostility to LGBT rights,” she said in a statement.

Gaming Convention Threatens To Leave Indiana Over Anti-Gay Bill

Organizers of Gen Con have threatened to leave Indiana if Governor Mike Pence signs a bill that opponents say would allow businesses to refuse to serve the LGBT community based on religious beliefs.

The Republican-led General Assembly gave its final approval of SB 101 Tuesday and sent it to Pence for his signature.

Pence has said he's “looking forward” to signing the measure.

According to Polygon.com, Gen Con LLC, the parent company of Gen Con, a successful gaming convention held annually in Indianapolis, has threatened to take its convention elsewhere if the bill becomes law.

Passage of the bill “will factor into our decision-making on hosting the convention in the state of Indiana in future years,” Gen Con LLC CEO and owner Adrian Swartout said in a letter to Pence.

“Last year, Gen Con hosted more than 56,000 attendees from more than 40 different countries and all 50 states,” Swartout wrote. “Gen Con proudly welcomes a diverse attendee base, made up of different ethnicities, cultures, beliefs, sexual orientations, gender identities, abilities, and socio-economic backgrounds. We are happy to provide an environment that welcomes all, and the wide-ranging diversity of our attendees has become a key element to the success and growth of our convention.”

“Legislation that could allow for refusal of service or discrimination against our attendees will have a direct negative impact on the state's economy,” he added.

According to Polygon.com, the four-day event “creates in excess of $50 million in revenue for the city of Indianapolis.”
