Religion, King and King, censorship and education

By -
Religion has drawn a line in the sand when it comes to gay marriage.

Interestingly they claim exposing elementary children to books like “King and King” is inappropriate. It’s not that the book has explicit sexual connotations. It’s that the book shows two men who love each other and [gasp] illustrates the two kiss.

They will suggest any teaching about relationships to elementary children is inappropriate. But they won’t complain about heterosexual based books which do the same thing!

Let’s not stop there folks!

I would think there are many children whose parents are not religious.

Maybe we should stop all teachings about Christmas and Easter. After all, these are religious holidays. Religious holidays not supported by all.

I’m sure there are many childrens books which endorse heterosexual relationships. Even if they only do so indirectly.

How many childrens books show a man and woman (mother and father) in the book?

How many childrens books mention heterosexual marriage?

If we wish to stop the hate in our world, we need to start by changing our teaching methods.

For a teaching institution to disregard certain historical facts is a practice of censorship!

For instance, during my school years I never once heard there were homosexuals and gypsies killed in the holocaust. These facts were not taught. As a gay man, I take great offense to this.

This single fact proves our education system is guilty of censorship.

I suggest censorship, in the teachings of our young, borders on brain washing!

Reported by: Chris Vanocur ABC 4 News HASTINGS, Neb. (ABC 4 News) - Andrew Callahan is a member of the LDS Church but he thinks not for much longer. Callahan has been speaking out against a gay marriage ban on the California ballot and Callahan now faces excommunication. He says, "We're just wrong and we need to change that and I'm not going to stop when they excommunicate me and I am not going to apologize and beg them to keep me a member of the church." And in his likely last few hours as a Mormon, Callahan wishes that... "..Thomas S. Monson would stand up bravely - like Spencer W. Kimball did in the past - and say enough is enough." full article

INDIA: Gay student speaks

By -
I am 21. I am an engineering student. And I am a gay. I am writing this article because I am angry, frustrated and feel unbearably suffocated in my closet. I realised I was gay by the time I was 14. No, I never had any 'bad experience' in my childhood that made me 'turn gay'. No uncle or elder cousin ever molested me. I am gay because I believe I was born gay. God or nature, whatever one believes in, made me what I am. Just as some people are blonde or left-handed, sexual orientation is also a feature that is decided biologically. Modern technology can determine the sexual orientation of a child even before he is born. The WHO has removed homosexuality from its list of psychological disorders. Yet, some people would like to believe otherwise. They would say that if everyone were gay, there would be no society. This is a dishonest argument for the simple reason that everyone is not gay. They say it's against the Bible - an abomination of God. But if Christians can ch...

Biblical clarification regarding homosexuality

By -
There is no word in biblical Greek or Hebrew that is equivalent to the English word homosexual. The 1946 Revised Standard Version (RSV) New Testament was the first translation to use the word homosexual. There is no word in biblical Greek or Hebrew for “sodomy” or “sodomite.” A Sodomite would have been simply an inhabitant of Sodom, just as a Moabite would have been an inhabitant of Moab, though the word sodomite does not show up in biblical Greek or Hebrew. Any translation of the Bible making use of the words sodomy or sodomite are clear interpretations and not faithful translations. The Bible really does not fully address the topic of homosexuality. Jesus never talked about it. The prophets never talked about it. In Sodom homosexual activity is mentioned within the context of rape (raping angels nonetheless), and in Romans 1:24-27 we find it mentioned within the context of idolatry (Baal worship) involving lust and dishonorable passions. 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:10 talk ...
