Pro-homosexual vandals recently attacked an Illinois
Christian academy at which the pro-family group Americans
for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) was preparing to
hold a banquet to honor an evangelical Christian leader.
The pro-homosexual movement is not only getting more
aggressive in their physical actions, but also in
pushing ultraliberal legislation, bullying in the
judicial system, and infiltrating the nation's public
school systems. Please read my urgent update below - Mat.
On October 15th, radical pro-homosexual activists threw
concrete bricks through the door and windows of the Christian
Liberty Academy in suburban Chicago because it was hosting a
fundraising banquet for Americans for Truth About Homosexuality.
The bricks were accompanied by a note that threatened,
"This is just a sample of what we will do if you don't
shut down (pro-family advocate) Scott Lively and AFTAH."
Matt Barber, Vice President of our affiliate group, Liberty
Counsel Action, strongly denounced this criminal act in an
interview shortly after the news broke:
"This really amounts to an act of terrorism in that they
threatened more violence if Dr. Lively and his speech went
forward and if the Christian Liberty Academy did not
disassociate from Americans for Truth About Homosexuality."
As I've said many times, it's the radicals who demand tolerance
who are the most intolerant of opposing viewpoints! They actually
called AFTAH a "hate" organization after throwing concrete bricks
inscribed with the message "Shut Down Lively" through the
Christian academy's windows!
I reiterate a comment Matt Barber made in his interview:
"We are going to speak God's truth in love without fear
of reprisal, or even in this case, without fear of violence.
So I have a message to the gay terrorists that perpetrated
this crime: Your terrorist tactics have failed, and you will
not succeed in silencing God's truth."
++We will not be silenced!
Promoting the homosexual agenda while attempting to redefine
marriage and family by pro-homosexual activists is perhaps the
greatest "culture war" of our generation.
One recent example of the growing intensity of this battle is
seen in the refusal of certain liberal office holders to properly
enforce pro-marriage laws that have been passed by Congress.
The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) defines marriage as being
between one man and one woman for federal purposes. It also
declares that no state is required to recognize a same-sex
relationship that has been declared a "marriage" in another
state.
Yet, President Obama and his Attorney General, Eric Holder,
have acted as both judge and jury in declaring the DOMA
law to be "unconstitutional" and "indefensible."
I am calling on my Liberty Counsel team to rise up against this
anti-family activism! DOMA is a law passed by the people's
representatives in the United States Congress, and it is the
duty of the Executive Branch to enforce the law!
Further, we must STOP any momentum and traction pro-homosexual
groups hope to achieve by their attacks going unchallenged!
I urge you to take a moment and sign our Statement of
Support upholding the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
We insist that President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder
and the Department of Justice, congressional leaders, and
military leaders actively comply with and defend the Defense
of Marriage Act!

++Liberty Counsel is aggressively fighting back!
Recently, I also told you about a case involving two homosexual
males living in New York who were demanding that their adopted
child's birth certificate be "certified" that he was born to two
"fathers" in Louisiana. Apparently, the homosexual couple thought
it important to get the birth certificate changed to affirm facts
which are biologically impossible! They were handed a well-deserved
defeat in federal court.
The details of this case illustrate the Pandora's Box of
disastrous consequences that emerge when we give legal
recognition to unnatural relationships.
The "two daddies on the birth certificate" case is one of many
that Liberty Counsel has been involved in over the years defending
the bedrock institutions of marriage and family - and the ripple
effects into adoption law.
But perhaps even more damaging than the foothold radicals are
gaining in the body of American law is the horrific deception
and disinformation they are spreading!
Their advance is being paved with outright lies about the
practice of homosexuality, misleading "facts" about their
movement, and fraudulent use of taxpayer funds obtained by
cynically presenting their cause as a "civil rights" movement!
We must continue fighting and winning in both the courtroom and the court of public opinion, even given the flood
of new attacks!
You can obtain invaluable help in fighting this battle
from the pages of Only One Mommy - it is simply one of
the best books yet written about the homosexual movement's
horrific social impact, written by one of marriage's best
friends and most courageous defenders.

This is perhaps the most significant "culture war" of our generation.
Thank you for standing with me in this battle!
May God bless you!
