This thread is to chronicle breaking news concerning gay rights, gay activities or news.  It is not intended as an opinion thread(there are many others already in which to do that, or start your new one).

If possible, please cite your source.  Please limit this to news and citations only.

Mine today is from endtime.com's online daily radio program, Politics and Religion, just a few minutes ago.  You can hear today's program there after today(it is "live" today).

The news, mentioned there by host Irvin Baxter:  The nation in the world with the highest incidence of people involved in gay or lesbian activity:   Australia--at 17%.  17% of the population.    I'm not sure what his source, there, is.  Brother Irvin states this about half way through the 1-hour program.

Didn't you know - the government has CCTV cameras in everyone's bedrooms here?   ;)

Yes, ebia, point taken--how would they know.   ::)

Anyway, the article is listed today at Drudge's web page(drudgereport.com)--The Courier Mail:  

Australia 'world's gayest country'

MORE than 17 per cent of Australians are involved in gay or lesbian relationships, putting the country equal first in the world for its proportion of homosexuals, according to a new worldwide survey.

The article goes on to say that America is second to Australia, in the number of same-sex relationships, in the world.  A study made by a world-wide condom manufacturer.

Also, another article at drudgereport.com, today,

"Hugh rise in sex diseases, in UK"

Surprise, surprise.

I heard the Australian thing today on the secular news as well.

No wonder ebia defends it so much.

Since most of the media repeat each other, this is unsurprising.

eh?

ROTFL!!

I am an Australian and I haven't heard that news as yet.  But, it really wouldn't surprise me.  They're in the cities.  I'm outback.  If they come here, they are ordered to leave as quietly...and as quickly as possible.  No tears...no fuss...just a few words spoken from the right source..." Better get back to the city mate...we've got children in this town."
So...back to the city they go. We only recognise Actual men and women here.

Hmmm, thank you, Tamarra.  That sounds good.

I'm in a small, rural village here in North America.  The local newspaper apparently doesn't allow anti-gay letters to the editor any more;  I've only seen maybe three or four in the last ten years, and that was several years ago..  I'm pretty certain it's going on here though, but they don't flaunt it(yet), as in the cities.

Apparently, I'm beginning to find, you aren't suppose to be critical of anything, just like in Jeremiah.  

Here's a piece of Gay News... http://www.wftv.com/news/2534849/detail.html

 

Thanks Symphony!

That's why we refuse to have them in our town!  We have children living here.  These children are protected in my Australian outback town by the people in the town.
We have a policeman.  And what goes on in other town's we know about.  They have police too.  And, sodomy is a thing we won't tolerate.
I know Australian's are shocked by the Sydney Gay Festival. But, many police are in it now.
Not here...that's why we keep clear of city people.  If they buy a holoday house here, they are constantly watched, not only by the policeman, but by the people.
We have Neighbourhood Watch in Australia.  And, where I live, we abide by it.  We watch out for each other.
And, the children are precious.  
In time, they have to go to the cities to work.  But, their tuition here about homosexuals is intense.  They are taught to stay clear of all strangers in the city.  And, they stick with other kids from the country.
It's a tough life today!  Education isn't just reading, writing and arithmatic anymore!

Love...Tamara.

Same-Sex Marriage Ruling Stands


OTTAWA, OCT. 9, 2003 (Zenit.org).- Pro-family groups lost a major battle in their struggle against same-sex marriage when Canada's highest court rejected their bid to appeal a lower court decision, the Globe and Mail reported.

A five-judge Supreme Court of Canada panel ruled unanimously that the Association for Marriage and the Family in Ontario and the Interfaith Coalition on Marriage and Family cannot appeal a judgment by the Ontario Court of Appeal that found the traditional definition of marriage to be unconstitutional, the newspaper said.

In the new year, the Liberal government likely will introduce legislation to allow same-sex marriage.

Subject: Urgent Marriage Protection Week update

  ***Marriage Protection Week E-Update***
URGENT MESSAGE FROM DONALD E. WILDMON, FOUNDER AND CHAIRMAN OF AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is an e-update regarding Marriage Protection Week. Please print out this alert, duplicate and distribute it to your church and/or Sunday School class. Ask them to take the action listed below.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

October 12-18 has been proclaimed by President George Bush as "Marriage Protection Week."

It is being sponsored by over 25 national pro-family groups.

During the week, you are being asked to call your Congressman and Senators and urge them to support a federal marriage amendment defining marriage as being between one man and one woman.

Please call your Congressman and two Senators at 1-202-224-3121. If the line is busy, keep calling. To make all three calls will cost about .90 cents and take about nine minutes. Surely our children are worth that small effort.

Tell them you favor a federal amendment protecting marriage and oppose "civil unions" for homosexuals which give them all the rights of marriage except the word. Ask your Congressman and Senators where they stand, and ask for a written response.

I can tell you that this threat is very real and immediate. Homosexual activists are already boasting that they have the votes to block any federal amendment.

The homosexual leaders are working to get courts to approve homosexual marriages with all the benefits which are enjoyed by heterosexual marriages. Failing that, they at least want the courts to approve same-sex "civil unions" which give homosexuals all the rights of marriage.

What is at stake in all this? The future of the family and of western civilization as we know it. If homosexual marriage is approved, that will open the door for not only a man-man or woman-woman marriage, but two men and one woman, four women and two men, or any combination of men and women.

Please call your Congressman and Senators at 202-224-3121 and please forward this email to a friend.

Thanks, and God bless you for acting on behalf of our children.

Sincerely,

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
American Family Association

P.S.: Please forward this email to at least one friend.

In Australia, these people are not only allowed to marry...they are permitted to adopt children!  There is a battle going on about it, but, the so called "freedom of choice"  seems to over rule.  
Now there is a move to have the words of Paul taken out of the Bible regarding homosexuals.
In Australia, we tread on eggshells regarding these people.  They flaunt their so called "free choice".  And shame us...
Married?  So THEY say...
I'm afraid I think differently.  And, it would not be either socially polite, nor sociable acceptable for me to say what I THINK!!

Love...Tamara

I feel for you, Tamara. There are so few born again Christians in the world that at times it can be very lonely. Jesus was the loneliest man on earth but had the grace, love and strength from God to die for us anyway. This was all prophesied and we need to stand firm in our beliefs even though the majority of people are being misled. It's hard to watch the world around us but it only keeps us more united.

In Christ,
Heidi

Heidi...you don't know how lonely it is.  And I pray to Father that you never will know such lonliness.
I just watch the world now although I am too young to do this!  But, I have separated my self from the world because the world would never have a part of me.  I stand by every word in the Bible. Including all the words Paul wrote.  Every last one of them.
For us, Jesus said "I will never leave you, nor forsake you."
For the world of Sodom and Gommorah - He also had his say!
But, they did find where it used to be!

Love...Tamara.

Sound like anywhere you know?

Oh yes Ebia...oh yes indeed!
