Broadcast Officials in China Censor Gay TV Characters

…iveness. Where is your love? I find it astounding you should claim to feel betrayed by the Anglican Communion. If anyone should feel betrayed it is LGBTI Anglicans in Africa, who have suffered a holocaust of violence and cruelty, incited by people such as you.

Catholic Church Campaigns Against Gay US Ambassador; Global LGBT Recap

…Florin HIlbay asked the Supreme Court to dismiss a challenge to the Family Code ban on same-sex couples marrying.

In short, speaking for myself and I think for my colleagues, we’re about trying to keep America shari’ah free. Lamborn, who said he was pleased to co-host the event, called Oklahoma’s passage of a shari’ah ban last year “just the opening round in the growing struggle between shari’ah law and the Amer…
