Exodus: Live Out Loud

The true intent of the homosexual movement

http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46593

"To the dismay of true rights-minded individuals, while hijacking the democratic verbiage like personal freedom and civil rights, the homosexual movement has revealed its true nature as the forerunner to a cultural takeover. As we watch them tack toward a more Machiavellian approach to politics, society and culture, it has become obvious the radical homosexual movement has now become the "vanguard" of a broad-ranging social and political revolution."-  R. Robert McDonald, WorldNetDaily, Sept. 30, 2005

Same-Sex “Marriage” to “Usher in an Era of Intolerance and Discrimination the Likes of Which We Have Rarely Seen Before,”

http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/sep/05092901.html

"In a pastoral letter published in the Calgary Sun on September 11, Bishop Henry warned that “Same-sex marriage proponents use the language of openness, tolerance and diversity, yet the foreseeable effect of their success will be to usher in an era of intolerance and discrimination the likes of which we have rarely seen before.”

He warned that same-sex “marriage” and relations will be considered the norm, and that any school, for example, that fails to incorporate homosexual relations into their curricula, will be deemed discriminatory. “The impact of the social re-engineering is bound to filter down to school classrooms,” he wrote. “The educational impact of laws on attitudes is undeniable. Ordinary words such as ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ will be replaced by ‘partner’ and ‘spouse.’ Children will have to be taught about homosexual acts. Every person and every religion that disagrees will be labelled as bigoted and openly discriminated against and dragged before Human Rights Commissions. Parents who complain will be branded as homophobes and their children will suffer.”- LifeSiteNews.com, Sept. 29, 2005

Misinterpretation of 'Parents Rights Law' at Crux of Massachusetts Controversy

http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/9/292005c.asp

"Lexington school superintendent Paul Ash says according to a Department of Education interpretation of the Parents Rights Law, he does not have to inform parents when homosexual relationships are discussed with children in elementary school classes...

Brian Camenker with the Massachusetts-based group Article 8 Alliance says Ash's stance is "so arrogant and outrageous" he can hardly believe it..."I am the one who wrote the Parents Notification Law in Massachusetts, so I'm very familiar with it -- and I wanted to see what [Ash's] interpretation was," Camenker recalls. "So we went to the [Massachusetts] Department of Education and got what they sent him -- and it turns out that he's not even interpreting their interpretation properly." - Jim Brown, Agape Press, Sept. 29, 2005

First Trio "Married" in The Netherlands

http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/301

"The Netherlands and Belgium were the first countries to give full marriage rights to homosexuals. In the United States some politicians propose “civil unions” that give homosexual couples the full benefits and responsibilities of marriage. These civil unions differ from marriage only in name.

Meanwhile in the Netherlands polygamy has been legalized in all but name. Last Friday the first civil union of three partners was registered. Victor de Bruijn (46) from Roosendaal “married” both Bianca (31) and Mirjam (35) in a ceremony before a notary who duly registered their civil union."- Paul Belien, The Brussels Journal, Sept. 29, 2005 

Love Won Out Tackles Homosexual Issues With Information, Compassion, Biblical Truth

http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/9/282005a.asp

"Earlier this month, Focus on the Family brought its international Love Won Out conference to Birmingham, Alabama, for a one-day gathering designed to educate and equip participants to wrestle with key issues surrounding homosexuality and to offer hope for those struggling with unwanted same-sex attractions. Speakers included experts on homosexual issues straight from the front lines of the culture wars as well as former gays and lesbians whose personal testimonies affirmed the possibility of freedom in Christ.

One of the featured speakers at the Birmingham LWO Conference was former lesbian Melissa Fryrear, a gender issues analyst for Focus on the Family. She says even though homosexuality and same-sex marriage are becoming increasingly politicized in contemporary culture, the conference focuses on love and hope in Christ. “We are here to offer a perspective that is rarely heard anywhere else,” she says. “There is a way out of unwanted homosexuality.”- Jenni Parker, Agape Press, Sept. 28, 2005

Spitzer Study At Center Of Maryland Controversy

http://www.narth.com/docs/maryland.html

"Parents who favor the teaching of acceptance for homosexuality in Maryland's public schools held a symposium on the topic last Sunday.

At the center of debate was Dr. Robert Spitzer's 2003 study on the reality of change for individuals with unwanted same-sex attractions. Regina Griggs, the executive director of Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX) said that Spitzer's study is "critical" and shows that people "have the right to self-determination and that change is possible."

Sponsors of the TeachtheFacts.org organization, however dismissed Spitzer's study. Dr. Paul A. Wertsch of the American Medical Association said the study was biased because it drew most of its subjects from ex-gay therapists or ministries. Wertsch heads the AMA's Committee on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Matters and has a son who is a homosexual."- NARTH, Sept. 27, 2005
