First of all this week, there was a big (about 5,000 observations) sophisticated (University of Chicago Business School) study of bad behavior in little boys. Conclusion: little boys benefit substantially from living with both their biological parents. The second study was a little (78 observations) simplistic (unrepresentative sample, ideologically motivated researchers) of the Quality of Life of the children of lesbian couples. Conclusion: the children of lesbian couples are just as happy and well-adjusted as their peers. Read more…

It is common knowledge that TV reports don’t tell the whole story. Frequently a group of 75 undecided voters gather to share their responses immediately after a debate. Such people provide instant commentary that the theorists of network TV may not be able to perceive. However, these groups tend not to be predictive of overall election results. Random polling via phone calls shows us much clearer results. Read more…

A young woman was fired from the Macy’s San Antonio Rivercenter department store in Texas for refusing to violate her religious beliefs by permitting a young man dressed as a woman from entering the women’s dressing room. Natalie Johnson claims she saw the young man walk out of the women’s fitting room and politely told him that he could not go back in because it was for women only. The cross-dressing young man claimed that he is a “female.” Read more…

After analyzing the numbers in the FBI’s Hate Crime Statistics report for 2010, Matt Barber, vice president of Liberty Counsel Action, concludes that there is a clear bias against religion.
“There were fewer hate crimes committed against people based on an animus toward their sexual behavior than there were committed toward people based on religion,” he reports. “So that is to say there were more hate crimes committed against people because of anti-religious bias than there [were] for anti-homosexual bias.” Read more…

It was surprising to hear Rush Limbaugh say the words, “I don’t have the guts to bring it up” – but he did, on November 8, to his massive radio audience.
Rush Limbaugh lacking the guts to address something publicly? Rush Limbaugh not willing to tackle controversy? Really? Read more…

You need a scorecard to keep track of this one, but the bottom line is clear enough: a bio mom and bio dad want their child to themselves, and the man’s ex-partner (who is a gay man) is declared to be a parent and the father isn’t. Unbelievable.

Back in the 1920s, the intelligentsia on both sides of the Atlantic were loudly protesting the execution of political radicals Sacco and Vanzetti, after what they claimed was an unfair trial. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote to his young leftist friend Harold Laski, pointing out that there were “a thousand-fold worse cases” involving black defendants, “but the world does not worry over them.” Read more…
Compliments of Leo:
A constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in Iowa would start out with the lead, 50-43. Voters under 65 are about evenly divided on such a proposal, but seniors support it by a 62/29 spread, providing the overall margin in favor of it. Independents would start out voting for it 53/39 and while 24% of Democrats say they would vote for it, only 18% of Republicans say they would vote against it. Read more…

Introducing gay-friendly history curriculum is proving to be difficult, note California educators.
Teachers and administrators are flummoxed about how to carry out a new law requiring California public schools to teach all students — from kindergartners to 12th graders — about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans in history classes. Read more…

Do you ever wonder what the world will be like in 20 or 30 years? If you’re a parent or a grandparent, chances are you’ve thought a lot about the world the next generation will inhabit. And if you’re a Christian, no doubt you’ve wondered if Christian values will be part of the mainstream culture, or whether such values will even be tolerated. Read more…

Groundbreaking research published this week shows successful change in religiously motivated men and women.
A chorus of voices in the professional world today proclaims that it is impossible to change sexual orientation, particularly homosexual orientation, and that the attempt to change sexual orientation is commonly and inherently harmful. For example, for many years the Public Affairs website of the American Psychological Association stated: “Can therapy change sexual orientation? No. . . . [H]omosexuality . . . does not require treatment and is not changeable.”[1] Read more…

In North Carolina, a group called Faith in America is starting a billboard and newspaper ad campaign against “religion-based bigotry,” aka Christian sexual ethics.
Of all the things I have observed from my perch on the front lines of America’s culture wars, the most curious is the phenomenon of the crucial moral authority of the gay man in our newly unfolding society. Read more…
