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…

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…

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…

From California again we get a glimpse of the future – or the future that a political class is consciously seeking to prepare for us in reshaping the culture. During the summer the legislature enacted, and Governor Jerry Brown signed into law, SB48, as an amendment to “the Education Code, relating to instruction.” That Code had already made ample provision to instruct the children of California in the contributions made by all racial and ethnic groups supplying votes for politicians. But there was an appreciation also for the contributors who were “entrepreneurs” and labor unions, and whose stories deserved to be told. With SB48 the legislature took a further step by adding: “Pacific Islanders, European Americans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans.” Read more…

Most important quote:
“This is the real problem with OutServe,” she contends. “This is certainly contrary to everything we know about unit cohesion — to encourage one group within the ranks to set itself apart as something different, separate, and with a singular set of demands.”
Even the name of this magazine makes them sound like they are setting themselves apart and are better than their comrades at arms. Is that really what they’re going for with this? Read more…

Is being lesbian, “gay,” bisexual, or transgender a special talent? FRC’s Peter Sprigg says a church-affiliated college in Illinois apparently thinks so.
Elmhurst College in suburban Chicago has added to its application form a question regarding sexual orientation, making it the first school in the U.S. to do so. Reportedly in an effort to increase campus diversity, the 3,000-plus-student school is asking applicants: “Would you consider yourself to be a member of the LGBT community?” (See earlier story) Read more…
