''I want to give you a little more evidence for my notion that this country has shifted in the 1990s and has transformed," lesbian activist Elizabeth Birch told her university audience earlier this year. "Where is the least likely place anybody would look for leadership on a social issue?" she asked. "Corporate America, right?" But therein lies a tremendous irony.

Read moreThe man's behavior caught the attention of a fellow congregant, who informed Sandy Burdick, a licensed counselor who led the church's sexual-abuse support group. Burdick says she warned Denhollander's parents that the man was showing classic signs of grooming behavior. They were worried, but they also feared misreading the situation and falsely accusing an innocent student, according to Camille Moxon, Denhollander's mom.
Read moreI read Al Baker's opinion piece, "Queer Culture in the PCA? Concerns about the Revoice Conference being held in a PCA church in St. Louis in July." I want to thank Al for his eagerness to call us back to the Bible and for his passion for that repentance unto life through which (alone) we can enter our soul's rest. He has shared his own history of evangelism among people living a homosexual lifestyle. I commend that example.
Read moreRobinson has been accused of getting himself arrested on purpose, but this is not the issue here. His arrest is a flashpoint and has highlighted the corruption and secretive behaviour endemic in our Left-wing dominated authorities and establishment.
The police, Crown Prosecution Service and social services ignored the plight of white underclass girls victimised by Muslim grooming gangs for decades kowtowing to political correctness because they feared being smeared as 'racist'.

The big lie has 'credibility', he writes in Mein Kampf, because most people 'more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large scale falsehoods'.
Read moreThat poem was written in 1919 and it voiced for millions a loss of innocence and the evaporation of hope. We can now see that Yeats's words grew only more prophetic over the last ninety-nine years. Things are falling apart. The center cannot hold.
Read more"Homophobia simply does not exist, it is clearly an invention, an instrument of totalitarian domination over the minds of others," the cardinal said. "The homosexual movement lacks scientific arguments and therefore they have built an ideology that seeks to dominate, seeking to construct their own reality."
The prelate tied strategies of the gay lobby to those employed by Marxists, in inventing a "phobia" for those that oppose them.
Read moreSure, it is virtually impossible that California will immediately attempt to ban the sale of the Bible itself. Not even the hard Left in California has that kind of chutzpah. But citations of Bible verses in the context of declaring homosexual practice and transgenderism to be morally debased could indeed get one into serious trouble with the law if it comes in the context of selling or advertising a product or service. Here are the problems with Snopes's case.
