I wonder if ACLU members have lawsuit quotas. Maybe they each have a bar graph on a white board to keep track of their filings. Perhaps the winner at the end of each month gets a plaque, the good parking spot, and an ice cream sunday.

An attorney says a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) against a North Mississippi school district is an attempt to try and keep officials there from recognizing traditional morality. Read more…
California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) is being pressured heavily to change its nuetral stance on gay marriage. So far they are holding steady where other organizations have already caved. Stay strong, CAMFT! Be an example to others not to be bullied!

SAN DIEGO, California, March 15, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Abandoning its long-held neutrality on the marriage debate, the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) has slowly come to disavow pro-family views and sexual orientation therapy as “homophobic.” Instead it now warmly supports homosexuality as a “normal and positive” variant of sexuality – all thanks to pressure by gay activists who have openly vowed to transform the organization from within.

The Washington Post reports on the reluctance of some gay couples to get married, even though it is now legal. On the same day, the Post reports on how the new law recognizing same sex marriage has been costly to others in the District of Columbia, including Catholic Charities, and the people they serve.
So given these costs, and the divisiveness surrounding same sex marriage, don’t you think the gay community, and the Post could have the decency to keep these doubts out of the front and center of the public eye? I mean, we have been given to believe that the self-respect of every gay man and lesbian woman was on the line in the legalization of same sex marriage. We’ve been led to believe that the burdens on same sex couples are simply not to be borne, and beyond the imagining of any heterosexual couple. Read more…
In the last week or so, Stuart Schneiderman has had a number of very good articles about hooking up. I keep kicking myself for not blogging on them. But his latest article is here.
Take a scene from Sunday morning campus life. A coed has embarked on a walk of shame. As she walks across the campus, dressed as she was for last night’s party, she knows that everyone knows what she was doing the night before.
Does she feel shame because she has done something wrong or because society has a negative attitude toward the free expression of female sexuality? Does she feel shame because she gave it away for free, thus, devalued her sexuality, or because society suffers from a Puritanical intolerance of women’s sexual pleasure?
From there, Schneiderman expertly spins out the issue in various angles. A must read.
It seems the Girl Scouts have allied themselves with the likes of Planned Parenthood.
I’ve seen more than a few boxes of Do-Si-Dos and Samoas around lately. It’s hard to look askance at the Girl Scouts when there’s so much sweetness in the air, but there is reason for keeping the Girl Scouts out of the “mom and apple pie” pantheon. For one thing, the organization has a think tank, a nongovernmental organization, and a welcome mat out to Planned Parenthood.
At a meeting of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women this month, the World Association of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides held a session for young people in which the International Planned Parenthood Federation reportedly distributed a brochure about living with HIV titled “Healthy, Happy and Hot.” (Gratitude to U.N. watchdogs like C-FAM for keeping an eye out for such nefarious nonsense.)

Can we judge the status of a woman by her pay check? Have women arrived when they have half the seats in the legislature and their husbands do half the chores at home? This is Part I of a symposium by Mercatornet.com on improving the status of women by 2020.
Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse’s take on the situation:
I have a radical idea for promoting the dignity of women: the idea that giving birth to children inside marriage is good and worthy use of one’s time and talent. This idea has come under assault from many directions. Read more…
OK, it’s not that I’m Australian mates (born and raised right here in the good old USA, as a matter of fact) but for some reason the first two times I’ve felt motivated to post on Ruth Institute blog it’s been because of something that was happening ‘down under’ (and both times specifically in Queensland, no less).
Before, I was concerned about the vote on an initiative to liberalize the law concerning surrogate births. And now there’s a lobby group in Queensland that wants to make facebook let their members have the option of identifying themselves as ‘transgender’.
It seems the gay lobby and their supporters are determined to force us all to conform - in terms of our language, thoughts, and behavior – with their world view. Remember how eHarmony was forced to facilitate same-sex dating on their own website?
I’ll bet nobody is taking any gay dating websites to court to make them facilitate Christian evangelism… or the efforts of organizations like Exodus International.
