Molotov Mitchell’s Videos Create Firestorm

Molotov

UPDATED with response from G-A-Y Blog at the end of the post. Molotov Mitchell is definitely making a name for himself. I met Molotov in DC in March of 2009.  He and his wife were hilarious and very personable.  I could relate to his zeal in talking about Christ but when it came to public policy ... not so much.  Granted we had some of the same ideas that certain things politically and culturally needed to be forthrightly addressed but his reasoning and approach seemed unnecessarily harsh.  I didn't say anything at the time because I just met the guy and I didn't want to jump right in … [Read more...]

The Gospel And Elton John

elton john

I've seen many gay protesters over the years hold up signs that say, "What Jesus said about homosexuality is _______." Thus inferring that He never said anything about being gay.  Not all, but a few of those same folks who seem to want to make facts out of thin air (arguing from silence in a negative sense) would probably believe, like Elton John, that Jesus was gay Himself.  From Parade.com: "I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don't … [Read more...]

“Bromances” Gone Wild – Boundless Seeking Input

question mark-1

Ted Slater with Boundless, who is a great guy by the way, posts: So I've heard the same thing from two different people in two different states. The guys in their class or singles group seem overly affectionate with each other, sometimes even feigning homosexual interest. A few weeks ago I may have seen a hint of this at church: A high school guy, whom I don't believe experiences same-sex attraction, was acting peculiarly effeminate in his interactions with the guys in the worship band during practice. He was light-hearted about it; I'm just not sure why he'd joke about something … [Read more...]

Joy Behar’s Observation of Gay Male Fidelity and The Radical Redefinition of Marriage … by Heterosexuals

Joy Behar, God bless her (and I mean that) ... you never have to guess what she's thinking.  She recently made a statement on how she has heard that gay male couples do not hold to monogamous relationships like heterosexual couples. … [Read more...]

Gayle Haggard Releases Memoir titled “Why I Stayed” – Interview with Renee Dallas

gayle on oprah

Gayle Haggard has been through a proverbial trial by fire for the past few years. I have been impressed with the grace, wisdom and humble boldness she obviously abides in.  You can tell the Lord is her comfort and shield. Today Gayle is releasing her memoir concerning her husband's (Megachurch and National Leader, Ted Haggard) sexual fall and resulting highly publicized aftermath titled Why I Stayed: The Choices I Made in My Darkest Hour. She will appear on The Oprah Show later today to discuss the book. For a response, we turned to trusted leader (of WifeBoat blog and online support) … [Read more...]

The Advocate’s 15 “Gayest” Cities

gay city graphic

The Advocate uses their influence as the largest gay magazine to publish a list of 15 Gayest Cities in America list is surprising. Mike Albo introduces the list (emphasis mine): Intrepid amateur sociologist Mike Albo searches for America’s 15 gayest burgs—based on a finely tuned (if totally arbitrary) calculus. Long ago, gay people settled in our nation’s largest cities. There they spruced up all the property, created every art and fashion movement, and taught entire populations how to dance. They created gayborhoods like WeHo, Chelsea, South Beach—and pretty much queered all of San … [Read more...]

Rachel Maddow vs. Richard Cohen – Interview Review & Missing the Point About Uganda

rachel maddow

This post is a long one in that I am posting the video of Rachel Maddow's interview with Richard Cohen, of the International Healing Foundation, last night.  After the video I am going to share a review of the actual interview and then move into how I believe she, and some other militant gay activists, are missing the point with regard to Uganda's anti-homosexuality bill.  Here is the video: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy The interview started off strong and polite. Richard did a pretty good job of being assertive and getting out there to … [Read more...]

Mainstream Mixed Signals – Adam Lambert

adamsmall

I  actually like Adam's Lambert's singing.  Especially most (not all ... like when the rock group KISS joined him on stage for the AI finale) of his performances on American Idol.  I don't like the pseudo sexual acts, the dangerous spikey things on his costumes (Star Trek Borg anyone?) and the weird seductive vibe he tries to give off but when he gets into the honest core of his singing ability ... I think he has an amazing gift. He could be a fantastic singer.  I bet my fbff (facebook friends forever) count just dropped a few. Even so, it wasn't his singing that ruined his … [Read more...]

The Manhattan Declaration on Marriage

Manhattan Declaration

Last week 152 Orthodox, Catholic and Evangelical leaders issued the Manhattan Declaration that makes a commitment to speak to issues of Life, Marriage and Religious Liberty (link to file download at the end of the post.)  The authors did a very good job of explaining their positions and intentions within the manifesto. For the purposes of this post I am quoting the section on marriage. I am interested in your feedback.  That said, the bolded emphasis in parts of this quote are mine to highlight what stood out to me. Sidenote: As far as I know, Alan Chambers wasn't aware of the … [Read more...]

Pastor Taken Off YouTube For Message Against Homosexuality

Pastor Taken Off YouTube

Guest Post by McKrae Game of Truth Ministry: Pastor Taken Off YouTube For Message Against Homosexuality What will hate crimes mean to the church? By McKrae Game Dr. David Manning recently had a video of a sermon he preached on homosexuality pulled off of YouTube. According to Manning*, YouTube cited the recently signed Hate Crimes legislation as their reason for pulling the sermon; they had always allowed his previous sermons. I did not see the pastor’s original sermon; however his video explaining his outrage at the situation was very strongly worded and full of … [Read more...]
