The MassResistance blog began in early 2005 with a Massachusetts focus on judicial tyranny, same-sex "marriage", and LGBT activism in our schools. We broadened our focus to national-level threats to our Judeo-Christian heritage, the Culture of Life, and free speech. In 2006, Article 8 Alliance adopted the name "MassResistance" for its organization. CAUTION: R-rated subject matter.

ACLU Laying Traps in Massachusetts
The Larry Cirignano case is just one example of the ACLU's nefarious activities in Massachusetts. They're doing what they can to entrap conservative, pro-family leaders and tie us up in lawsuits. It's no accident that the woman behind the charges against Cirignano is on the board of the Mass. ACLU. And interesting that their national director, Anthony D. Romero, is in town today pushing his book in Lowell and Concord.
Another ACLU entrapment effort seemed to be underway just a few weeks ago. When parents in the Acton-Boxborough High School district planned a forum to expose the content and message of the fall play, "The Laramie Project " (set for early November run), they asked MassResistance for help. Sure enough, a week or so prior to the forum on Oct. 3, a "college student from Emerson" called the MassResistance office to ask about the forum, and said she wanted to tape it because she was "doing a research project on the ex-homosexual movement," and was especially interested in ex-homosexual Stephen Bennett's participation in the event. (Footnote: Bennett's vehicle was intentionally rammed by a hit-and-run driver on his way to the event, and could not participate.)
We told this young woman that she was certainly welcome to attend, but that it didn't make sense for her to do her own video of the event, since we had several people lined up to do that. She would be able to get a copy after the event, we told her, and we didn't want a lot of disruption with cameras. She kept prodding. "It's a public meeting, so I should be able to tape." We sensed some trap, and asked her how she heard of the event and if she was connected to a certain activist group (which we knew was closely connected to Emerson).
Apparently, this was part of an ACLU attempt to stir up trouble. Just as they did in Worcester. Suspected ACLU activists were observed in the audience on Oct. 3, and a news channel told us the ACLU was planning to be at the forum.
Our message to the ACLU: The "Laramie Project" Forum is about to be broadcast on Acton cable TV, probably starting Thursday night. Get your VCRs ready. Or contact the MassResistance office, and you can purchase a tape. But ACLU members won't get the friend's discount. (Can we be charged with something for that???)

"Ally Week" - Latest GLBT Assault on High Schools
Across Massachusetts (and the country) schools are celebrating "Ally Week" -- one of GLSEN's newer projects -- which promotes homosexuality, bisexuality, and transgenderism. This propaganda assault lasts all week, not just one day like their "Day of Silence" in April. And it's following immediately on the heels of the national "Coming Out Day" (Oct. 11) sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign. Plus there's a coordinated effort to push October as "GLBT history month." October is shaping up to be a dangerous month for your kids at public schools.
Posters in Acton-Boxborough High School (just west of Boston) read:
Monday - AIDS Awareness Day - Wear Red
Tuesday - Transgender Day* - Wear Yellow
Wednesday - InBetween** Day - Wear Green
Thursday - Blue Jeans Day - Wear blue jeans to show your support!
Friday - Matthew Sheppard [sic] Day*** - Wear Purple
*GLSEN's Ally Week site links directly to GLAAD's (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) page, linking kids to the National Center for Transgender Equality.
**Does this mean "bisexual"? or in between genders? or just anything "queer" they think of?
***The Matthew Shepard web site now has an expanded section appealing directly to young people called "Matthew's Place" and is promoting ALLY WEEK.

Michael Glatze Interview with NARTH
"Michael Glatze decided at the age of 13 that he was gay and eventually founded Young Gay America . . . Through a series of incidents, however, Glatze slowly began to realize that he was not gay at all but was dealing with fears about his own masculinity. . . ."

Typical Morning Announcements at Mass. High School
***National Coming Out Day is celebrated annually on October 11th to commemorate the March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights and aims at promoting awareness of the GLBT community.
***The GSA is having a rubber ducky raffle. The grand prize is an Ipod Nano/Video.
[Note: GSA is the "gay/straight alliance" or homosexual/bisexual/transgender club.]

Mass. Schools Push "Coming Out Day"
At Newton South High School, a parent was aghast to see a poster in a classroom on back-to-school night proclaiming the upcoming event. In Bedford High School, the official announcements included it.
In Acton-Boxborough, students were reportedly hugging each other with the cheerful greeting, "Happy Coming Out Day!" Their fall play, "The Laramie Project", sends students to MatthewShepard.org, where kids told they can "Make a Difference" if they "Come Out". That page links them to the Coming Out Project at Human Rights Campaign (including a Resource Guide), and the PFLAG organization (which recognizes no boundaries).
All of this is done without parental notification as required by law for HUMAN SEXUALITY ISSUES in the schools. But our school officials tell us that homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality are not about sex, but about "civil rights" and diversity!

New Orientation Absurdity
MAASTRICHT, Netherlands, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- The University of Maastricht in the Netherlands is awarding a doctorate to a researcher who wrote a paper on marriages between humans and robots.
David Levy, a British artificial intelligence researcher at the college, wrote in his thesis, "Intimate Relationships with Artificial Partners," that trends in robotics and shifting attitudes onmarriage are likely to result in sophisticated robots that will eventually be seen as suitable marriage partners.
Levy's conclusion was based on about 450 publications in the fields of psychology, sexology, sociology, robotics, materials science, artificial intelligence, gender studies and computer-human interaction.
The thesis examines human attitudes toward affection, love and sexuality and concluded that the findings are just as applicable to human interaction with robots of the future as they are to the relationships between humans of today.

Democrat Presidential Candidates Without Moral Grounding
The appropriateness of reading the story book King & King to 2nd-graders (as done in a Lexington, Mass. school, at the heart of the Parker lawsuit) was the subject of a question to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards. None of them objected to the youngest minds absorbing the idea that sodomy was a valid foundation for "marriage". John Edwards' response may be the most amazing. He basically said it's not his business to instruct his children regarding right and wrong!!!
Nothing makes more clear than these responses how dangerous it is to accept "civil unions" -- the slippery slope -- because once you go there, how do you say NO to a fairy tale about two princes kissing and marrying? All three of these Dem candidates say they're for "civil unions" but against homosexual "marriage" -- yet they all accept the use of the "fairy tale" King and King!
Allison King [NECN]: The issues surrounding gay rights have been hotly debated here in New England. For example, last year some parents of second-graders in Lexington, Massachusetts, were outraged to learn their children's teacher had read a story about same-sex marriage, about a prince who marries another prince. Same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts [sic - no it's NOT legal] but most of you oppose it. Would you be comfortable having this story read to your children as part of their school curriculum? I'm going to start with Senator Edwards.
JOHN EDWARDS: Yes, absolutely. What I want is I want my children to understand everything about the difficulties that gay and lesbian couples are faced with every day, the discrimination that they're faced with every single day of their lives. And I suspect my two younger children, Emma Claire, who's 9, and Jack, who's 7, will reach the same conclusion that my daughter Cate, who's 25, has reached, which is she doesn't understand why her dad is not in favor of same-sex marriage. And she says her generation will be the generation that brings about the great change in America on that issue.
So I don't want to make that decision on behalf of my children. I want my children to be able to make that decision on behalf of themselves, and I want them to be exposed to all the information, even in – did you say second grade? Second grade might be a little tough, but even in second grade to be exposed to all ...
KING: Well, that's the point. It is second grade.
EDWARDS: ... those possibilities, because I don't want to impose my view. Nobody made me God. I don't get to decide on behalf of my family or my children, as my wife, Elizabeth, has spoken her own mind on this issue. I don't get to impose on them what it is that I believe is right.
BARACK OBAMA: You know, I feel [sic; no thought, just feeling] very similar to John.... One of the things I want to communicate to my children is not to be afraid of people who are different ... And one of the things I think the next president has to do is to stop fanning people's fears. If we spend all our time feeding the American people fear and conflict and division, then they become fearful and conflicted and divided. And if we feed them hope and we feed them reason and tolerance, then they will become tolerant and reasonable and hopeful.
HILLARY CLINTON: Well, I really respect what both John and Barack said.... With respect to your individual children, that is such a matter of parental discretion, I think that obviously it is better to try to work with your children, to help your children understand the many differences that are in the world and to really respect other people and the choices that other people make. [Is she saying homosexuality is a choice?!] ... So I think that this issue of gays and lesbians and their rights will remain an important one in our country. And I hope that – tomorrow we're going to vote on the hate crimes bill, and I'm sure that those of us in the Senate will be there to vote for it. We haven't been able to get it passed, and it is an important measure to send a message that we stand against hatred and divisiveness.
The full transcript of the debate on King and King is available here.

State Rep. Puppolo Paying Price for Lying to Voters
Freshman Rep. Angelo Puppolo of Springfield promised prominent constituents that he would vote for the amendment when it came before the Legislature. He lied. And now a national pro-marriage group has put up a huge billboard on I-91 calling him a traitor. (Check out the web site behind the billboard here.)
There has been much outrage around the state over the flippers in the Legislature, including Sen. Candaras and Reps. Loscocco and Ross. How easily our elected representatives have been corrupted by money and perks from the homosexual lobby! Puppolo has joined their name-calling bandwagon: those behind the billboard are "hateful" and "small-minded." (A radical leftist blog run by Frederick Clarkson that focuses on the dangerous "Christian right" has now taken up Puppolo's cause in response to the billboard, and is urging its readers to contribute to Puppolo's campaign fund!)
From the Springfield Republican (10-6-07):
Billboard attacks gay marriage vote
By Dan Ring
BOSTON - A New Jersey group yesterday unveiled a massive billboard in Springfield that compares a local legislator to Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold for switching his vote on gay marriage.
Called "Betrayed," the billboard, posted on Interstate 91 near the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, targets state Rep. Angelo J. Puppolo Jr., a freshman Democrat from Springfield.
Puppolo changed his position on gay marriage and voted "no" to placing a question on next year's statewide ballot that sought to amend the state constitution to ban same-sex unions, legal in Massachusetts since May 2004. During the campaign last year, Puppolo said he would support the ballot question.
"Tactics like this reinforce my belief that I did the right thing," Puppolo said. "I voted to keep discrimination off the ballot and out of the Massachusetts constitution."
Brian S. Brown, director of the newly created National Organization for Marriage, of Princeton, N.J., which financed the billboard, said yesterday Puppolo betrayed marriage and the public trust. ...
Puppolo said the billboard is hateful and offensive.... Puppolo, 38, said the billboard goes too far. "It's unfortunate that small-minded groups like this from out of the area come in and spread this kind of hate and inflammatory statements," he said.

"Laramie Project" Teaches Foul Language
Some examples of foul language in "The Laramie Project":
“shit outta luck” -- “Matt was a blunt little shit” -- “I always say, don’t fuck with a Wyoming queer, cause they will kick you in your fucking ass.” – “a freakin’ nightmare”-- “I was just bullshittin around with my shit” -- “I was in deep-ass sand” – “they better watch their fuckin ass” -- “ask him if he’d ever do anymore tweak” -- “I don’t know if Aaron was fucked up or whether he was coming down [off drugs] or what, but Matthew had money. Shit, he had better clothes than I did. Matthew was a little rich bitch … There was times when I was all messed up on meth… ” -- “pissed him off” -- “good to be with people who felt like shit” -- “why’d you fuck up like that” – “he tried to grab my dick” – “Up there in the max ward … when they found out Aaron was coming to prison, they were auctioning those boys off; ‘I want him. I’ll put aside five, six, seven cartons of cigarettes.’ …” -- “big-ass band of angels” [protester] with “big-ass wings” – “we don’t say a fuckin’ word” -- Police officer who “went out and got shit-faced” [drunk] -- etc.
The Acton-Boxborough Regional High School student handbook (p. 19) has a rule outlawing obscene language:
GENERAL BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS
Abusive or Obscene Language
Students are not to use obscene or abusive language or gestures. Such behaviors will result in referral to the Assistant Principal.
Though "obscene language" goes conveniently undefined. So ... ANYTHING GOES. Certainly, if the "obscene language" is part of an assigned reading, or school play, it must be OK? After all, how else could the school be preparing its students according to its ...
"unity of purpose: to educate young people for life in a global society. It is important to create a learning environment at Acton-Boxborough where students can grow as individuals, learn how to think for themselves, learn when to talk and when to listen, see another person's side of things, and be part of a community." (p. 13)
But wait... If students are to "see another person's side of things," why did the school staff instruct the students (and parents) to ignore the forum on October 3? Why are students not instructed to weigh both sides of (by their own admission) a controversial play?
We read in Bay Windows that 475 local parents signed a petition giving their full support to "The Laramie Project" production (though they did not release their names). Shame on them. Do these parents have no problem with their children speaking like this in their homes? And the foul language in the play is the least example of its harmful impact. The play teaches that Laramie is just like Acton: Bad language, and hateful people hiding in the shadows waiting for their chance to lash out -- even to murder -- motivated by "hate".
"The Laramie Project" -- in its own words
For extensive quotations from the play itself, and from materials handed out to children in that school, see:
READING LIST on "The Laramie Project" and the dangers of leading youth to homosexuality.
The first item under "Links to articles" gives extensive quotations from the play itself.

"The Laramie Project" and Hating Jesus
Here's your required reading for this week: "Queering Christ" in today's radical blog QueerToday (10-1-07). This blog recently published an attack on a MassResistance family in Acton, after being contacted by two of your drama students.
Read the postings on QueerToday, especially today's. These are the people your students are encouraged to seek out by your fall play, "The Laramie Project." These are the people your students are in fact communicating with, hatefully sharing private information about a family in their community, and using a classmate as a political tool. These are the people who are thrilled to see you're producing that play, so they can recruit more young people for their queer world. These are the people who admit they're anti-Christian, yet still insist on talking about Jesus -- as long as he's part of their twisted sexual fantasies. So you need to read the kind of obscenities and sacrilege they proudly publish.
The fellow behind QueerToday's post, "Queering Christ," is the youth minister at the GLBT "Metropolitan Community Church" in Boston and former member of the Mass. Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth. That church gives their space over to BAGLY (Boston Alliance for Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Youth), whose director is a transsexual "male-to-female" and co-chairman of the Mass. Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth. These are the groups where your Acton-Boxborough students are led through your Gay-Straight Alliance, Common Ground.
Your fall play, "The Laramie Project," is distinctly anti-Christian. So your students will relish the radical, false, sexualized portrayal of Christ on QueerToday. (The minister the "Laramie" play lyingly portrays as representative of Evangelical Christians is Fred Phelps. The ministers the play embraces are the Unitarian, and the Catholic priest who defies his Bishop's authority. The next liberal step beyond would be a priest claiming to have sexual relations with Jesus -- as does that the author of the book, Queering Christ.)
(The book's author, Robert E. Goss, is a former Jesuit priest, was a radical activist in "Act Up" and "Queer Nation," and led the homosexual "Catholic" group "Dignity" in Boston through 1982. He's now a minister with the GLBT "Metropolitan Community Church.")
Excerpts from today's sick post by Jason Lydon on the book, Queering Christ, on QueerToday:
... I have thus come to appreciate many of the stories within Christianity and have also been deeply hurt by the right wing choosing to use the revolutionary, anarchist, pro-liberation, Jesus against me and others I care about. Currently I am reading a VERY queer book for one of my classes. The book is Queering Christ by Robert E. Goss. So far the book is INCREDIBLE. My intention is to post some of my favorite highlights on queertoday in order for others to enjoy a very different experience of Jesus, one that does not make him the evil hater that so many choose to use him as. Do be aware that some folks may be offended by the sexual content of the passages I share over the next couple of weeks. I am not claiming that Christianity is easily made pro-queer, but so many folks are trying, struggling at times, and I appreciate their efforts. I hope we can all enjoy this queer perspective from a Jesuit priest, regardless of whether or not we are Christian...
[Book author Goss writes:] "My technique of meditative prayer was to envision Christ with me and experience him as a lover. Scott Haleman, Betty Dodson, and Joe Kramer argue that masturbation can be spiritual and can become a form of transcendental meditation. Masturbation can harness fantasies and sexual energy. When prolonged, it can stimulate and extend pleasure. When fantasies are focused into making love with Christ, the experience opens itself to a fundamental and profound consciousness of God. My visualizations of Jesus were certainly explicit, erotically envisioning various forms of making love to Jesus the Christ. I had sexual intercourse with Jesus. Sometimes he was the top, and sometimes he was the bottom. My relationship with Christ was mutual and deep."
Unbelievable. And there are a whole series of queer sexualizations of Christ coming up on the blog, they say...
Thank you, Acton-Boxborough High School for leading our children to this.

KnowThyNeighbor Founder's Other Project
As of today, NO Massachusetts sponsors had signed up, even though the sponsor book says: "You will all have a huge cloud of witnesses when you stand up and vigil for justice." Where are all the "straight allies across the nation demand[ing] equality for LGBT Americans"? We think it's time for the KnowThyNeighbor guys to take a rest.
Apparently, Mr. Toleos, the Action Leader, will be perfectly happy if his little children grow up L, G, B or T. His son catching AIDS from anal sex? No problem. His daughter removing her breasts and growing a beard? No problem. No grandchildren? No problem.
From the 7 Straight Nights web site:
The Toleos FamilyStatement:
I will not stand by while gay individuals, couples, and their children are dehumanized and denied basic rights. I will not stand by while children are deprived of basic protections and benefits because of their parents' sexual orientation. I will not stand by while gay Americans die for their country while forced to keep their true identities hidden. I challenge you to join my family in making a public stand in support of our gay friends and neighbors by fighting for equality, justice, and freedom for ALL Americans. The gay community has been coming out of the closet for years. Now it is our turn to come out with our support for them.--Aaron Toleos
Judy Shepard, mother of Matthew Shepard, is pushing the "Seven Straight Nights" effort:
"As a straight ally and mother of a hate crime victim, I challenge all of us to action. With your help, Seven Straight Nights can have a lasting impact on our communities by starting critical conversations, creating meaningful relationships, and affirming a group of people that have faced hate and bigotry for far too long."

"Bigot" Defined
"BIGOT" -- A person who is religiously attached to a particular computer, language, operating system, editor, or other tool (see religious issues). Usually found with a specifier; thus, "Cray bigot", "ITS bigot", "APL bigot", "VMS bigot", "Berkeley bigot". Real bigots can be distinguished from mere partisans or zealots by the fact that they refuse to learn alternatives even when the march of time and/or technology is threatening to obsolete the favoured tool. It is truly said "You can tell a bigot, but you can't tell him much." Compare weenie. [Compare spod, computer geek, terminal junkie. The Jargon File]

And after reading this, and knowing Brian of MassResistance, we though maybe there might be something to it. Brian is quite set in his high-tech habits.

Homosexual Marriages Down to Trickle in Mass.
Seems that homosexual "marriages" have tapered off lately. We've reported on this in the past. Recently we read of the same phonemenon in Canada. (See "Only 1 Canadian same-sex couple 'married' in Toronto this year," LifeSiteNews.) Hmm...
They don't really want marriage. They just want to destroy the institution of marriage. Stanley Kurtz was right: According to American author/researcher Stanley Kurtz, the goal of the homosexual movement is not about “marriage” for gays, but the ultimate demolition of all marriage. Basing his idea upon a 2001 Law Commission called “Beyond Conjugality”, Kurtz declared, “The way to abolish marriage, without seeming to abolish it, is to redefine the institution out of existence. If everything can be marriage, pretty soon nothing will be marriage.”

Another propaganda master we've been wondering about is the genius behind the "Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth," David LaFontaine. He sort of dropped off the map. Anyone know where David is today? You know where to email us.

News Media Still Catching Up on Romney's Outrages
WorldNetDaily
2002 Romney flier promotes 'gay' rights; Candidate reportedly handed out leaflet at Boston 'Pride' parade (9-21-07)
A website paid for and authorized by the Massachusetts Democratic Party has posted a picture of a flier reportedly passed out at a 2002 'gay pride' event by then-gubernatorial candidate Mitt Romney expressing support for homosexual rights.
The flier, on red paper, claims to have been paid for by "the Romney for Governor Committee and the Kerry Murphy Healey Committee" and reads, "Mitt and Kerry wish you a great Pride Weekend. All citizens deserve equal rights, regardless of sexual preference." ...
As WND reported, Romney's claims he did everything possible "within the law" to throttle homosexual marriage after the Massachusetts Supreme Court issued an opinion saying denial of marriage to same-sex couples violated the state constitution have been refuted by several constitutional experts who say that just isn't so.
See some of WND's earlier stories (using research by MassResistance, John Haskins, and Attorney "Robert Paine") on Romney's role in promoting "homosexual rights" and unconstitutionally implementing homosexual "marriages":
Romney's 'constitutional bungling' criticized; Leaders say he ordered 'homosexual marriage' even though court never asked him to (7-12-07) -- Discusses National Review's biased coverage of Romney, and avoidance of this important Constitutional issue.
Experts: Credit Romney for homosexual marriage; 'What he did was exercise illegal legislative authority' (7-14-07) -- Includes quotes from law professors Herb Titus and Scott FitzGibbon, and analyses by Chris Stovall, senior general counsel of the Alliance Defense Fund; attorney Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum; and Hadley Arkes, a professor of jurisprudence at Amherst, who wrote about the situation in National Review shortly after the implementation of the law.

Pagan Pseudo-Christian Churches Celebrate Homosexuality
InNews Weekly also breathlessly reported on the MCC's new "Justice School Sunday" program for children, to be run by a young 20-something "queer libertarian." He said that the "Boston Alliance for GLBT Youth (BAGLY) holds its Wednesday meetings in our [MCC] space; we welcomed the first Boston Transgender Pride celebration in 2006; and we have a long history of ministers supporting GLBT rights."
[9-13-07] MCC Boston has also worked to address issues that specifically impact the community.“MCC has been focusing a lot on crystal meth addiction, which is very much part of the gay community right now, and other denominations aren’t going to focus on those issues,” said Cooper.While MCC Boston had about 120 members at its peak, over the years the congregation has shrunk down to about 35. Cooper said the AIDS crisis took a major toll on the church, claiming the lives not only of many of its members but of several of its clergy and lay leaders.

Born That Way?
One thing is for sure: the male "bisexual" fad is helping to spread HIV/AIDS to females. "Men who have sex with men" . . . and also with women. "Attendees will have the opportunity to socialize and learn about health issues facing the bisexual community."

Alan Keyes Blames Romney for Gay Marriage
It's one thing for a judge to spout nonsense; it's another for a foolish Governor to take up her suggestion. Romney violated the Massachusetts Constitution in issuing new marriage licenses without any change in our marriage statute. And he had no authority to order JPs and Town Clerks to implement these illegal "marriages". Why did he do it? Was he keeping his promise to the radical Log Cabin "Republicans"?

Romney Will Stiff Values Voter Debate Monday; Will Hold Own Web Forum Instead
It's telling that four Republican candidates have now declined to take part in that event: Romney, Giuliani, McCain, and Thompson. (And all the Democrat candidates refused a Values Voter debate.) Clearly they don't want to have to answer pointed questions on abortion, homosexual "marriage", illegal immigration, etc.
Romney has the gall to set his "first town meeting on the Web" at exactly the same time as the Values Voter debate. We'll be watching the latter, streamed live on http://www.valuesvoterdebate.com/ and http://www.afa.net/.
From the Boston Globe (9-16-07):
Romney plans his first town meeting on Web
Mitt Romney, already one of the more eager presidential candidates when it comes to working the Web, plans his first online-only town meeting tomorrow. It will be held live at 7:30 p.m. via streaming video, giving people anywhere in the country a chance to ask Romney about issues and priorities. Web surfers will have to register by 7:15 p.m. to take part, the Romney campaign said. Tomorrow is also the deadline to submit entries in a TV ad contest that Romney touts as the first time an amateur-produced spot will air on behalf of a presidential candidate.
For those who choose to tune into the Romney web meeting, here's where you can submit your questions: http://www.visualwebcaster.com/Romney/42280/reg.html And we suggest you ask:
- Why did you order Justices of the Peace and Town Clerks to implement homosexual "marriage" in Massachusetts, when the Constitution and current statutes don't allow it? Since the Court (without authority!) told only the Legislature to change the statutes, why did you step in? Weren't you violating the Constitution with your order?
- Do you, or do you not, believe homosexuality is immoral? How does your belief impact your public policy positions on homosexuality? Homosexual "marriage"? Adoption of children by homosexual couples?

Iowa Patriots Seek to Remove "Gay Marriage" Judge; Romney Ignored Similar Mass. Effort in 2004
We at MassResistance (then Article 8 Alliance) led that effort. See "It's Crunch Time in Boston" by John Haskins, WorldNetDaily (4-11-05):
Though their oaths of office compel them to declare the ruling null and void and to remove the four judges, the executive and legislative branches in this "separate but equal" farce clearly believe that their oaths, too, have been struck down. Gov. Mitt Romney – Republican and practicing Mormon – while posing in the Bible Belt as a pro-family conservative, has taken to sponsoring homosexual youth parades in Boston. Chief Justice Margaret Marshall is now running the state, when she's not fund-raising for homosexual organizations and otherwise mocking rules about judicial neutrality. Feeling powerless as governor, Romney is wondering if he can be our next president....
Gov. Romney and the Legislature need to be made the laughingstock of the nation for not standing up to the self-appointed politburo that has reduced them to mindless puppets. We need all the help we can get here because removing judges is now a do-or-die effort for constitutional self-government, and not only for Massachusetts. For the entire country, a great deal depends on our scaring the Massachusetts political establishment back into at least faintly constitutional parameters. If we fail to remove the four outlaw justices, Americans may well look back at the Massachusetts homosexual marriage ruling as "the one that ate the rule of law," to borrow a recent phrase from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
But our Governor, Mitt Romney, declined to support the effort. So did the Massachusetts Family Institute and the Massachusetts Catholic Conference. And so did conservative advocacy groups around the country, including the vaunted ACLJ and Alliance Defense Fund (ADF). Why? In the case of the ADF, they thought they could compromise with the homosexual extremists, hand them civil unions and benefits, and allow their early "marriages" to stand untouched, then (with a wink from the homosexual thugs) pass their terribly flawed VoteOnMarriage amendment. We've seen where that strategy led.
At a June 2005 press conference, Romney gave no reason for his opposition to the effort to remove of the four sodomy "marriage" judges. Could his inaction be explained by his promise to the homosexual activist Log Cabin Republicans in 2002, not to interfere with the Mass. Supreme Judicial Court's anticipated ruling for sodomy "marriage" (as recently reported in the New York Times)?
Q: Governor, what about the broader issue of judicial acitivism? Do you support or oppose the Bill of Address movement to recall the judges?
Gov. Romney: I'm not looking to recall the judges. I do however believe that justices should not legislate from the bench any more than legislators should adjudicate from the legislature. And I believe that there should be a separation of powers and responsibilities, and I believe that in this case that the Supreme Judicial Court engaged in legislating. I believe it was an improper decision on their part, and that's why I believe that ultimately the citizens should have the opportunity to make this choice, or their elected representatives.
When are Republican primary voters around the country going to wake up to Romney's deception? He never worked to preserve real marriage, but rather did all he could to implement it -- even without any errant court order! Romney also violated the Constitution by ordering the new "Party A/Party B" marriage licenses (while Mass. statutes STILL allow only man/woman marriage), and by ordering Justices of the Peace and Town Clerks to implement sodomy "marriages".
Here's the Iowa story:
Group wants judge impeached in same-sex marriage case
By Rod Boshart
The Gazette, September 12. 2007
DES MOINES - A nonprofit group calling itself Everyday America began a petition drive Wednesday aimed at pressuring state lawmakers to impeach and remove a district judge who issued a ruling declaring Iowa's same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional.
Bill Salier, a former Republican U.S. Senate candidate from Nora Springs and one of the group's founders, said Everyday America is seeking support for an impeachment petition that states Judge Robert Hanson "knowingly violated the bounds of the Iowa Constitution" in issuing the controversial opinion, which also violated his judicial oath.
"The people of this state must take a stand to stop government officials from overstepping the Constitution in order to change society as they see fit. It is time we must start holding our government to account," the online petition states."Some government officials will continue to overstep their authority unless 'We the People.' demand it stop," according to the petition.

Tranny-PFLAG Conference "Transcending Boundaries" -- Gone Underground?

We're disappointed to learn from DCU Center in Worcester that the transgender-PFLAG conference, "Transcending Boundaries," is not being held there again this year. This weekend is announced on their award-winning MySpace as the 2007 conference dates, but no location is given. Interesting how after our revelations of the past year, the Transcending Boundaries web site is no longer updated, and the conference (if it's being held at all) is being kept quiet. Too bad -- our brave undercover agents were all set to go out to Worcester! (They were just not sure yet which gender and outfit to choose.)
"Transcending Boundaries" -- It's just what the name says: There are no boundaries, no limits on behaviors. No such thing as male or female in their world, unless they say so. No such thing as "normal". Anything goes: little children identified as "transgender"; bisexuality; pansexuality; BDSM; polyamory, drag kings, drag queens, fetish, etc. The only thing missing (give them time) was bestiality. (But wait -- does "pansexuality" include bestiality???).
Last year's fascinating workshops included:
- Dr. Norman Spack (Children's Hospital, Boston) on "Coming out as a child or adolescent as transgendered or transsexual and the parents’ process of acceptance." (Spack promotes puberty blocking treatments for pre-pubescent "transgender children" -- followed by opposite-sex hormones.)
- Supporting Gender Variant Youth in Today’s Schools
- Legal Issues and Being Kinky -- How to Talk About BDSM/Leather/Fetish (New England Leather Alliance)
