'Ain't No Homos Gonna Make It to Heaven'
N
FEEL THE CHRISTIAN LOVE?
Congregation of Apostolic Truth Tabernacle erupts in thunderous applause after the song; Pastor now getting death threats
The song performed at the alter of Apostolic Truth Tabernacle in
Greensburg, Indiana, included these lyrics: "The Bible’s right,
somebody’s wrong. The Bible’s right, somebody’s wrong. Romans one,
twenty six and twenty seven; Ain’t no homos gonna make it to Heaven."
The congregation can be heard erupting in cheers after the performance by the 3-year-old boy.
TMZ.com reports that church members say Pastor Jeff Sangl received a death threat at home and is worried about his safety.
Security has been stepped-up at the church. A prayer meeting scheduled
for Wednesday evening (30 May) at church had to be moved to a secret
location.
But the church members interviewed by TMZ continue to stand by the message of the song and their reaction to it.
Said one: 'The people who are upset just don't read the word of God. If
we don't teach the children the truth early they will never learn.'
It's the third video to emerge in recent weeks showing rampant
homophobia among some churches in the US. One North Carolina pastor advocated putting all gays and lesbians behind an electric fence while another suggested parents 'punch' their sons if they act gay.
Manhattanhenge
We flocked to 14th Street to see the setting sun bathe Manhattan in golden light,
but right when things were getting good, the rain came instead. It
didn’t stop some resourceful Instagrammers, however, from taking some
gorgeous photos of the city we love, in all its gray, soggy, foggy
splendor.
Day 2 is tonight, Wednesday the 30th, at 8:25 p.m. Yesterday was just a half-sun, but today is the Real McCoy — a full orb
visible as it plummets just past New Jersey, and our city grid aligns
with the sunset so that each street has a fantastic view.
Wondering
what is all this exactly? Why does this happen, and can someone explain
all the science-y stuff behind it? We won’t even bother paraphrasing
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose
Center for Earth and Space:
He also tells you where to stand
for optimal visual splendor. Come a half-hour early, he says, and “for
best effect, position yourself as far east in Manhattan as possible. But
ensure that when you look west across the avenues you can still see New
Jersey. Clear cross streets include 14th, 23rd, 34th. 42nd, 57th, and
several streets adjacent to them. The Empire State building and the
Chrysler building render 34th street and 42nd streets especially
striking vistas.”
Apropos of absolutely nothing ... A Bedtime Story
"Once upon a time, a nice couple
named Scott and Ann Powers spied an interesting cactus. It was a
tubular shape and, they were told, it would root so easily.…"

AND IF YOUR SHRINK IS FROM GHANA ...
YOU NEED A NEW SHRINK.
Homosexuality Is A Mental Issue - Chief Psychiatrist from ghanaweb.com
He said the excuses given by many western nations in support of the homosexuality are only borne out of political expediency and not a genuine belief that the sexual orientation is normal.
“Those who are in such situations they have a certain constituency in terms of numbers and in terms of voice,” he said.
Speaking to host of Breakfast XYZ, Emefa Apawu, on Radio XYZ 93.1 FM, Dr. Osei posited that “only for political reasons worldwide, [homosexuality] has been said to be normal but strictly speaking, I believe it is a mental health issue.”
“In the past, until some forty years ago, it was considered a mental health issues,” he said explaining that the powerful gay society of America in the 1960s started advocating to get the medical assumptions scrapped, which was eventually obliged by the American Psychiatrists.
“The bottomline of whether something is normal or not is whether it is a significant departure from normality or whether the departure brings about pain to the individual or the society. If something is a significant departure from the norm and causes pain to the individual and the society, then that is a mental health issue,” adding “a man going for a man is a significant departure from the normal and in our society; it causes distress to the society. It is a mental health issue.”
He said like HIV AIDS, anytime a disease takes roots in a country, it will be considered as normal, and that is what is happening with homosexuality.
He said the fact that the practice is accepted in Europe does not mean that it should be accepted and allowed to flourish in Ghana.

Petition: Ukraine president to stop anti-gay gag law
Petition urges Ukraine president to stop anti-gay gag law GAY STAR
Generation will be 'forced into the shadows' if anti-gay 'propaganda' law is passed
Activists have launched a petition calling on the president of the Ukraine to denounce an anti-gay 'propaganda' bill.
The bill, similar to the one passed in St Petersburg, is expected to be voted on this week
and would amend existing laws on ‘the protection of morals’, media and
publishing, as well as the criminal code, effectively banning virtually
all information on gay and bisexual issues and criminalizing LGBT human
rights work in Ukraine.
Over 21,000 people from around the world have already signed AllOut.org's online letter
to President Viktor Yanukovych, which urges the leader to speak out
against the proposed bill and stand up for LGBT rights before he meets
with an EU human rights delegation on Friday (1 June).
Kyiv's first ever gay pride parade was cancelled on 20 May after a
threat of violence from right-wing football hooligans and the event's
organizer Svyatoslav Sheremet was later beaten by thugs.
A spokesman for AllOut.org said President Viktor Yanukovych is the only
person with the power to stop the 'gay gag' bill and warned he must
take action now before 'an entire generation will be forced into the
shadows'.
'Ukraine has been trying to forge a "special alliance" with the European Union for years,' he said.
'If we create a massive outcry in the next three days across Europe,
President Yanukovych will be forced to finally speak out against the law
or risk endangering his lucrative EU partnership.' PETITION LINK
