Excerpt from the PFOX article “New Jersey Sen. Barbara Buono Called on to Stop her Hate Against Sexual Minorities:” “Trenton, N.J. … In a statement made during a New Jersey Senate committee hearing on March 18, 2013, Sen. Buono said she was glad to have sponsored non-discrimination legislation that did not include ‘formerly gay individuals’ because she had ‘never heard of that phrase uttered before.’”

Excerpts from the PFOX letter: “As parents of gay children, we urge you to vote against Senate Bill 2278, erroneously titled, ‘Protects minors by prohibiting attempts to change sexual orientation.’ This proposed legislation, initiated by the gay lobby to ensure that children receive only homosexual-affirming therapy by banning heterosexual therapy, is an act of childhood endangerment and an unconstitutional attempt to deny parental rights in New Jersey and your district.” (more…)

Barack’s first pastoral choice had been cut at the last minute when it was discovered that he had a ‘homosexuality, sin, and healing’ sermon in his preaching history. What we worship will be reflected in our sexual ethics. (more…)
