"Fearful lest it be relegated to the position of an isolated sect, Christianity seems to be making frenzied efforts at mimicry in order to escape being devoured by its enemies--a reaction that seems defensive, but is in fact self-destructive. In the hope of saving itself, it seems to be assuming the colors of its environment, but the result is that it loses its identity. . . ."
--Leszek Kolakowski, from Modernity on Endless Trial

The Price of Truth
"So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?"

(Galatians 4:16)

Reading with an Open Mind
QUOTATIONS OF THE DAY

"It is an immense ocean which surrounds the island of truth."

"Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider."

(Francis Bacon)


 

 

What They Don't Want You to Know
Despite what the mass media would have us believe, not every part of the homosexual lifestyle is as wholesome as an episode of “Father Knows Best.” But whenever ayone brings up the reasonable question of how safe and sane the homosexual lifestyle really is, they are quickly shouted down with the cry that they are being “hateful” and “intolerant.”

Still the truth about the homosexual lifestyle and the homosexual subculture is what it is, and cannot be hidden or erased by name-calling by the other side.

And now, we want our readers to see the truth for themselves. We are running photos from San Diego’s “Gay Pride” parade, and we are posting a link which has a nearly complete photographic record of all that transpired at the parade. We strongly caution our readers that these photos show behavior that is depraved, and contain images which should not be seen by decent people, were it not for the pressing need for the public to learn the real truth about the homosexual rights movement.

We could use only the photos that were the least shocking. There are many in the homosexual community, Equality Maine, and Maine Won’t Discriminate, who do not want you to see these photos. On their websites, you will see only smiling faces from happy domestic scenes. But is that the whole truth about the homosexual subculture?

There are many who will blame us for publishing these photos. But in the final analysis, we cannot be blamed for making public, what was, after all a public event, attended by a contingent from the San Diego police department, and various candidates for public office,

The photo on the right shows a member of the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence," a group of homosexual men who mock the Catholic Church by dressing up as nuns. This is the mildest photo. It is impossible to describe the other members of “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” here.

The Meaning of 'Gay Pride' Parades
What then is the meaning of a “Gay Pride Parade?” The message of other parades is clear. In a Memorial Day Parade, it is honor, virtue, and courage which are held up for the public to emulate. In a Thanksgiving Day parade it is joy, family values, and the innocence of youth.

What then are the values which the homosexual subculture holds up for emulation in a “Gay Pride" parade? If we fair and open-minded about it, the values which are held up for the public to emulate are often promiscuity, nudity, and perversion.

Which leads us to the question, why are there no “Straight Pride" parades?” How would such parades be different? Would they emphasize family values and romantic love, or would they flaunt promiscuity, sadomasochism, and nudity? If not, why not? And most important of all, if the homosexual subculture is as normal and acceptable as "straight" society, why are the images from the “gay pride parades” hidden from the public by the mass media? Why is it "hateful" for anyone to show these images, if the parade itself is a public event? And finally, has the public been lied to about the nature of the homosexual subculture? If so, why?

These are hard questions, and they are offered in a spirit of open inquiry, to those who are willing to concede that the whole truth is not being told in the debate over gay rights and same-sex marriage.

Double Your Money
Dear Friends and Supporters of the League,

We have been trying to get the word out that a Christian foundation has offered to double any giving that is what they call “new money” given to the League in this calendar year of 2005. That means any giving that is from a new source or over and above any other regular giving to the League will be matched by the foundation.

They have committed up to a total of $10,000 in matching funds for this year of 2005. They will match up to $500 per church, organization or individual during this time period.

Now they have even made it easier. When we first announced the offer, churches had to notify the foundation of their giving. The foundation would then mail a check made out to that church asking the church to deposit the check into their account and then write a check on the church’s account to the League.

HERE’S THE NEW SIMPLIFIED PLAN:

Now all you have to do is let me know when you have donated any “new money” to the League and I will take if from there. I will be keeping the giving records and will notify the foundation who will simply send a check off to the League.

It couldn’t be easier. ANY NEW GIVING WILL BE DOUBLED UP TO THE END OF 2005!

The League especially needs your help as we enter the final phase of educating the people in Maine in our attempt to preserve traditional family values and marriage in Maine. There is the important vote in November and education about the issue before then is essential. And now all new giving will be matched by the foundation. What a blessing!!

Many churches pledged to give to the League for the People’s Veto signature drive. Many have met their pledge and some haven’t yet. If your church has given to the League, all you have to do is let me know how much you gave and it will be matched, up to $500. The funds are desperately needed at this time and that giving most definitely comes under the “new money” category.

Please let me know if you have any questions. My contact information is below if you need further clarification.

Thank you for your consideration and your generosity.
