The UK is planning on withholding aid to African countries with poor gay rights

From here:

Andrew Mitchell, the International development secretary has confirmed that the British government will withhold aid from countries with homophobic countries but denied that it will harm the most poor in those countries

[….]

Last week, the Mail on Sunday revealed that aid ‘fines’ may be imposed on countries such as Uganda and Ghana for hard-line anti-gay laws.

The UK hasn’t altered its plans to double aid to Pakistan, though. Of course, although Pakistan persecutes gays just like any other part of the burgeoning Islamic caliphate, it compensates for it by also persecuting Christians, providing the UK with a vicarious sense of atonement for real or imagined past Christendom inspired imperialist sins.

In its defence, the UK is working on self-propitiation by doing its bit in eradicating Christianity within its own borders. Sadly, the British government doesn’t truly have its heart in the effort since it hasn’t resorted to burning or raping Christians. Yet. Withholding aid to Africa will have to do in the meantime.

 

North Wales police get rainbow stickers

From here:

A police force yesterday announced it would be placing rainbow stickers on the front desks of police stations in order to make gay and lesbians feel more confident about reporting crime.

North Wales police said it hoped that displaying the rainbow would make the gay, lesbian and transgender community feel safer and less apprehensive about talking to officers, especially if reporting homophobic offences.

And that’s what policing in the UK is all about now: homophobia. Burglary, murder and looting are so yesterday.

 

Bishop Mary Glasspool extols Obama’s virtues

From here:

Los Angeles—Praising the Obama administration for upholding the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) persons in domestic and international contexts, Diocese of Los Angeles Bishop Suffragan Mary D. Glasspool attended a June 29 White House reception and policy briefing in honor of LGBT Pride Month.

For those who might be confused, LGBT means Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender.

The Anglican Church believes that the sexual urges of those in the first three categories are placed there by God. And obviously God doesn’t make mistakes.

It also believes that the last category contains people whom God plopped into a body of the wrong sex. So in their case, he does make mistakes. The theological term for this apparent contradiction used to be known as an antinomy, but that was too hard for Anglican theologians to understand – or pronounce – so now it’s called a muddle.

 

Gay Google Rainbows

Google has made a habit of celebrating homosexuality in June for a number of years. It does this by displaying a rainbow when the unsuspecting seeker after knowledge types words like “gay”:

 

I’m looking forward to Google celebrating Easter next year by displaying a cross when I type in Resurrection.

 

 

 

 

IDAHOT

No marks for thinking that this means Ida is hot, that it is an exclamation of pain from someone who has a mouthful of superheated baked potato, or that it should simply say “Idaho”.

No, in this day of LGBTQIA, this is an acronym for a contemporary Anglican sexual obsession that people used to think of as aberrant, but are no longer allowed to.

From the Anglican Journal – where else?

The rainbow flag flew proudly over many of the world’s  town squares on May 17, the International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT). But just a few days later, Australian supporters of same-sex marriage are locking horns with Sydney’s St. Andrew’s Anglican Cathedral.

Community activists are asking supporters to rally on May 21 in Sydney Square near the town hall and the cathedral to celebrate the eighth marking of IDAHOT. May 17 is the date on which the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from its International Classification of Diseases some 21 years ago.

Shocking discovery: children are influenced by their parents

Including lesbian parents. A recent study reveals that girls brought up by a lesbian couple are more likely to engage in same sex activities than those brought up by a straight (I almost wrote “normal” – horror of horrors) couple.

Now the excuse can shift from “God made me this way” to “my parents made me this way”.

From here:

The study was part of an ongoing study that, at this stage, involved 77 families, “31 continuously-coupled, 40 separated-mother, and six single-mother families,” and 78 17-year-old children (one family had twins). Of the girls, nearly 50% described themselves as at least partly homosexual in orientation, though 30% out of that 50% were “predominantly heterosexual, incidentally homosexual.” (None of the girls, though, identified themselves as predominantly or exclusively lesbian.) Of the boys, a bit over 20% described themselves as at least partly homosexual in orientation, though 13% out of that 20% described themselves as “predominantly heterosexual, incidentally homosexual.” (Two of the boys identified themselves as predominantly or exclusively gay.) “The … Kinsey self-identifications [of the girls in the study] and lifetime sexual experiences were consistent with Stacey and Biblarz’s (2001) and Biblarz and Stacey’s (2010) theory that the offspring of lesbian and gay parents might be more open to homoerotic exploration and same-sex orientation.”

As to actual sexual behavior, 15% of the girls had had sex with other girls, compared to 5% in a sample of 17-year-old girls at large; 54% of the girls had had sex with boys, compared to 63% in a sample of 17-year-old girls at large. The boys showed no greater participation in homosexual sex compared to the sample of 17-year-old boys at large, but showed a markedly lesser participation in heterosexual sex (38% as opposed to 59%). For both the boys and girls who had had sex, the age of first sexual contact was about a year later than in the samples of 17-year-olds at large. All these differences are statistically significant.

How to get thrown out of a Soho pub

Kiss another man.

From here:

A man has told of how he was ordered to leave a central London pub after a staff member objected to him kissing a man he was on a date with.

James Bull, 23, said he and Jonathan Williams, 26, were thrown out of the John Snow on Broadwick Street, Soho.

Mr Bull said he was “shaking” after a woman claiming to be the pub’s landlady removed them for being “obscene”.

The Metropolitan Police are investigating the incident, while the John Snow pub is yet to comment.

Samuel Smith’s brewery, the owner of the pub, declined to comment on the incident.

“I felt belittled. I felt physically sick and we were both shaking,” said Mr Bull, a charity worker from Kentish Town in north London.

“It made me feel dirty. I’ve never experienced anything like this before.”

Mr Bull said a man claiming to be the pub’s landlord first raised objection to their kissing shortly after 0945 BST.

“We were kissing and a guy who claimed to be the landlord came over and told us to stop. I don’t want to see that. It offends me,” he said.

“We had just kissed. It was nothing obscene. He said if we didn’t tone it down, we would have to leave.

When I was much younger, I remember being thrown out of a pub for kissing – come to think of it, there may have been a degree of groping, too – my girlfriend. I put the whole thing down to envy; the BBC didn’t report on it. Also, since I found the experience exhilarating, it didn’t make me feel dirty,  I didn’t shake, nor did I feel belittled, physically sick – other than from the after effects of a pub pie – or shocked. In fact, it was a highlight of my university week, and one with which I regaled my friends with considerable relish.

Why has the contemporary pub ejection phenomenon become an occasion for such excruciating angst?

Well, it’s because the kissers were homosexuals and homosexuals are compulsive victims. The actions of a publican who simply wants to sell beer and ejects those who might put his customers off their beer, become headline news, the publican becomes a bigot, the homosexuals become filled with righteous indignation and Tatchell will probably blow a gasket.

Pathetic.

This:

A petition has been started to ban a ‘gay cure’ group’s iPhone app.

Christian group Exodus International claims that people can find “freedom from homosexuality” through prayer and practises conversion therapy.

Its iPhone app, which is free and available in the iTunes store, is “designed to be a useful resource for men, women, parents, students, and ministry leaders”.

It has received a 4+ rating from Apple, meaning it is deemed to have no objectionable content.

More than 6,500 people have signed a Change.org petition to call on Apple to remove it.

 

Australia has a law that allows private schools to expel homosexual students

It comes as no surprise that an Anglican bishop is at the forefront of those who are appalled by the law.

A SENIOR Anglican bishop calls it “appalling” and a gay and lesbian rights group condemns it as “deeply offensive”, but the Attorney-General, John Hatzistergos, backs a NSW law that allows private schools to expel gay students simply for being gay.

Through a spokesman, Mr Hatzistergos, described the 30-year-old law as necessary “to maintain a sometimes delicate balance between protecting individuals from unlawful discrimination while allowing people to practise their own beliefs”.

Even though the very existence of the law is enough to give Anglican bishops an attack of the vapours, in practice it seems unlikely that the law would be administered in a draconian way:

Brigadier Jim Wallace of the Australian Christian Lobby has no qualms about the law. The head of the influential Christian pressure group said a church school should have the right to expel any openly gay child.

“But I would expect any church that found itself in that situation to do that in the most loving way that it could for the child and to reduce absolutely any negative affects.

“I think that you explain: this is a Christian school, that unless the child is prepared to accept that it is chaste, that it is searching for alternatives as well, that the school may decide that it might be better for the child as well that he goes somewhere else. I think it’s a loving response.”

In such a case, why should a Christian school not have the authority to expel the student? Why would the student want to attend the school in the first place?
