Thanks for the clarification

One of our candidates for Supervisor may have said more than he intended in a supposedly offhand remark…
From the online Leesburg Today:
March 28, 2007
At first I was shocked; then angry; then, after meditating on the comment, I must confess to being gleeful.
At the March 21 Loudoun Republican Women’s candidate forum, Catoctin District Supervisor candidate Robert […]

What a tangled web we weave

Hat tip to Mason Conservative both for this story, and a visceral example of the quandary that anti-equality folks find themselves in when they try to define marriage according to the gender of the participants. “I don’t even know what to think,” says the author. I’ll bet he doesn’t.
Apparently, Lawrence Roach agreed to pay alimony […]

Welcoming the stranger

Acts 20:29-30 - “I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.”
This is apparently what the administration of Patrick Henry College is telling students about […]

More identity confusion?

Michelle Turner, vice president of Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum, tells Metro Weekly that the revised sexuality curriculum being introduced in Montgomery County is “one-sided,” saying that “if there is information for people who ‘choose to be’ gay, there should also be information for those who would rather be ‘ex-gay.’” Her complaint was met with […]

Equality Ride at Baylor

Some observations following the Equality Riders as they make their way through Texas and Mississippi:
A great idea from the town of Waco, home of Baylor University (and apparently also many large billboards erected by the “ex-gay” industry): A “Board of Trustees,” a wall where straight allies can post pictures of themselves so that the deeply […]

Gay babies, sheep, and other inconvenient creatures

Absolutists are funny. They abhor abortion for any reason, including profound deformities of the sort that preclude anything approaching a normal life - because, after all, who are we to play God and declare any life to be of less value than any other? Why God creates babies who only live for a few days […]

“Identity politics” at LEAP

Why would a counseling professional discuss adolescent identity formation and challenges to fitting in at school, and fail to include a discussion of sexual orientation and gender conformity?
This is an excellent question, and one that several parents asked me after the March presentation hosted by the Loudoun Education Association of Parents. The topic was “‘Where […]

But what if they don’t like the facts?

This “action alert” landed in my inbox a few days ago, from the reliably apoplectic Donald Wildmon. “Homosexuals,” it seems, are causing Montgomery County Public School students to be taught (of all the nerve) a health curriculum that is in agreement with medical science.
I encourage everyone to take a look at the curriculum. […]

Uh-oh. See what happens when you act like Jesus?

Below are excerpts from a letter sent to the Soulforce Equality Riders by a student at Dordt College, a biblically-based college in Sioux City, Iowa whose policies define same sex relationships as immoral conduct and grounds for expulsion or dismissal.
Conversations between Dordt students and the Equality Riders took place in the wake of harassment and […]

The moral universe of Peter Pace

Update: The Washington Post says that someone of General Pace’s stature is obligated “to consider facts and evidence” when evaluating public policy, not his personal beliefs (and by the way, that experiment with recruiting felons like the guy who raped a 14 year old Iraqi girl and murdered her family isn’t working out that well, […]
