America Is Officially A Gay Dystopia, Says Pastor Who Predicts More “Social Rot” To Come

America Is Officially A Gay Dystopia, Says Pastor Who Predicts More “Social Rot” To Come

photoDoomsday preacher Carl Gallups spoke to WorldNetDaily Sunday, and yadda yadda’d that America is “gearing up for onrushing economic collapse” reports Right Wing Watch.

Gallups — a former law-enforcement officer with an upcoming book titled Be Thou Prepared: Equipping the Church for Persecution and Times of Trouble — opined:

“With the onslaught of predicted ominous events scheduled to occur in or around September of this year, as well as the actual scheduled events possessing possible prophetic overtones, a lot of people certainly are tuned in to the end of this year with a laser focus. Sadly, it sometimes seems the Russian media is more reliable and eclectic in its reporting than is the American media. Given the fact that the United States media often seems loathe to report on anything biblical or Christian in nature, unless it is excoriating or marginalizing them, this should not surprise us.”

In a separate interview with WWD, Gallup attacked a San Francisco public school that’s organizing a gay history class, suggesting teachers won’t tell students about “the history of the major civilizations that ultimately met their demise concurrent with the rise of rampant sexual promiscuity and deviancy within those cultures, especially embracing and accepting homosexuality.”

He then described homosexuality as “one of the most dangerous sexual lifestyles on the planet… This is just the beginning of the social rot that is to come.” It’s only dangerous if you’re not doing it right, Carl baby!

Gallups then said he doubts the writings of the Apostle Paul will find their way into the class.

If the complete and unwashed history of homosexuality is to be taught in government schools, with taxpayer money – should not the gay history that is ultimately taught be accurate and comprehensive? Or will it simply be a watered down mishmash of cherry picked topics designed to support, promote, and prop up the new politically correct homosexual lifestyle, despite the historical warnings against it and the health dangers that accompany one of the most dangerous sexual lifestyles on the planet? Sadly, I think we all know the answers to these questions.

Hong Kong trans woman strips naked to protest bad customer service

Hong Kong trans woman strips naked to protest bad customer service

A transgender protester has been arrested in after she stripped naked on a street in Hong Kong.

But this was no FEMEN protest – she was standing up against bad customer service.

Angel, 34, staged the one-woman protest at around 10.30am on Monday (24 August) outside the Billion Plaza in Lai Chi Kok, where Hewlett-Packard’s customer service center is located.

The woman told the Apple Daily that she spent more than HK$10,000 ($1290; €1121) on a new HP laptop that broke within half a month.

She took the computer in for repair, but the technicians told her they could not find any problems.

Angel then went to HP’s customer service center, but left unsatisfied with the staff’s attitude.

So she did what any rational human being would do – she took off all her clothes in protest.

Wearing only sneakers and a small black backpack, she held up a plastic sign demanding HP executives explain the ‘maintenance incident.’

But the protest only lasted 15 minutes. Staff called the police and Angel was arrested for indecent exposure.

She has been bailed and must report to a police station on 16 September.

Ted Cruz: Gay business owners should be able to discriminate against Christians too

Ted Cruz: Gay business owners should be able to discriminate against Christians too

US presidential candidate Ted Cruz has said LGBTI-owned businesses should be able to discriminate against Christians and vice versa.

The Republican has made his campaign on defending ‘religious liberty’ and he held a rally in Iowa on Friday (21 August), where he brought out Christian business owners who had been ‘persecuted’ for turning away gay couples.

In an interview with Newsmax, Cruz said: ‘Imagine if this were inverted.

‘Imagine if there were a gay florist – now I know that’s hard to imagine, a gay florist – but just go with the hypo[thetical] for a second.

‘Imagine if two evangelical Christians came to a gay florist and they wanted to get married, and the florist said, “You know what? I disagree with your faith. I have problems with your faith.”

‘You have no entitlement to force that florist to provide flowers at the Christians’ wedding. We are a pluralistic nation that tolerates diversity.’

ThinkProgress notes that federal law suggests otherwise: ‘Religion is a protected class. If that hypothetical gay florist refused service on the basis of the customers’ religion, that would be a blatant violation, and he would be just as accountable for that discrimination as other vendors have been for discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation.’

There are currently no federal protections for LGBTI people, but the Equality Act seeks to remedy this.

Rentboy.com CEO arraigned in Manhattan then defends his business outside court

Rentboy.com CEO arraigned in Manhattan then defends his business outside court

Rentboy.com CEO Jeffrey Hurant defended his business Tuesday (25 August) hours after being arrested by federal authorities on money laundering and prostitution charges.

‘I don’t think that we do anything to promote prostitution,’ Hurant told reporters outside federal court in Manhattan. ‘I think we do good things for good people, and we bring good people together.’

The site’s Twitter account describes Rentboy.com as ‘The Original & World’s Largest Male Escort Site’ and has some 11,000 followers.

If convicted, Hurant could be sentenced up to five years in prison and fined up to $250,000. Six others were arrested as well.

According to the full criminal complaint, the company had more than $10 million in gross proceeds in the past five years. More than $1.4 million has been seized from six bank accounts in connection with the investigation.

Users of the site pay a minimum monthly fee of $59.95 to search for a rentboy or masseur on the site by country and city. Escort’s profile pages generally detail the sexual acts each escort is willing to perform and the price.

The criminal complaint calls the site’s disclaimer a ruse. It reads: ‘This site may not be used for the advertising of sexual services or to engage in activities requiring the payment of money for sex or other illegal activities.’

It details several profiles of male escorts which included reviews of their sexual performance and details about which sexual acts took place and how much was paid.

The complaint also mentions that Rentboy.com each year holds the International Escort Awards which are better known as The Hookies.

Chris Christie veers from Republican pack on businesses discriminating against gays

Chris Christie veers from Republican pack on businesses discriminating against gays

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made clear Tuesday (25 August) that he does not believe businesses have the right to discriminate against LGBTI people.

From refusing to bake wedding cakes to taking photos of renting out a venue, the ‘religious freedom’ argument that has been increasingly cited since same-sex marriage has become legal in the US.

Christie, who is against same-sex marriage, believes this is a defense that can only be used by religious organizations.

‘We have a system of laws in this country, and those laws need to be followed. And the fact is, religious organizations should be protected from having to do anything that violates their religious beliefs as a religious organization. That should be protected,’ Christie said at a campaign event in Iowa.

‘But other businesses who want to do business, they should have to be able to do business under the laws of our country,’ he added. ‘When I take an oath of office as Governor, my oath of office is to enforce the laws of the state of New Jersey. Not the laws I like or the laws that I agree with, but all the laws.’

Christie’s view differs from that of other candidates for the Republican Party presidential nomination including US Senator Ted Cruz who has been steadfastly outspoken in his defense of such businesses.

Christie doesn’t find it all that complicated.

‘ …If we don’t want to have a country of men and women but a country of laws, where everyone is treated equally, that’s what we need to do. Religious organizations absolutely should be protected, everyone should freely practice their religion the way they see fit, but businesses should not be allowed to discriminate, no.’

Christie can be seen answering the question at the 10:14 mark in the video below.
