California schools to 'honor' gays in textbooks, and bar negative portrayals...
| California schools to 'honor' gays in textbooks, and bar negative portrayals, please pray.
SACRAMENTO - California children would read about homosexuals' contributions to history under a bill approved by state senators who often drew on their own childhood experiences in supporting the measure.
The bill would require California's social science textbooks to include the contributions of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people to the state and nation's history. California is the United States' largest buyer of textbooks, with annual spending topping $400 million.
The measure passed Thursday 22-15, with no Republican votes. It heads to the Assembly, where opponents vowed another fight.
The bill — introduced by Democratic Sen. Sheila Kuehl, the state's first openly gay legislator — also would bar textbooks and other instructional material that portrayed gays in a negative light.
Two of three gay students are verbally harassed and one of six is physically harassed, said Geoff Kors, executive director of Equality California, which sponsored the legislation. "The invisibility that currently exists (in textbooks) contributes to that," he added.
Other women senators drew parallels to the lack of female or minority role models they saw in history books as children.
Sen. Bill Morrow disputed the comparison. "If you are a black American, you can't help it, you were born that way," he said. "There is not one scintilla of credible scientific evidence that suggests that homosexuality is biological in origin..... It is behavioral; it is not racial."
Sen. Richard Alarcon disagreed. "This is the way ... God made people," said Alarcon. "Let's stop trying to hide this reality."
Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has not taken a position on the bill.

Dear Lord, I pray that this bill is not approved. I pray that the govenor will say that he doesn't want this promoted as a "normal" lifestyle. Why should they single out homosexuals for such attention, when they ignore other minority groups? This has become such a "politically correct" band wagon to hop on. ane we know the devil is behind it, in his attempt to destroy America. Restore America to the principles that made it great. Let sin once again be called sin, and let righteousness be the rule of the day. There was a time you had to be a Christian to even serve in public office in this country. How far we have come! Father, bring this nation back to the Christian beliefs it was founded on. Protect children from this kind of recruitment by the homosexual community trying to brainwash them into thinking this is normal, so they will explore this kind of lifestyle. I ask and pray these things, in Jesus Name, amen.

Father we pray in Jesus Name for this country, we lift up this State of California before You, please Lord, come against those who want to destroy the principles of moral and Christianity in our children, and fight against the enemies of Your Kingdom. Bless be those who lift up on high Your Name and Your teachings! Make Your light shine upon them. Preserve Your children's children from this world depravation. May Your Word and the Truth of Your Kingdom be noticed and revealed to those who seek Your face!
May Your Holy Precious Spirit knock at the hearts of those who belong to You! We bind the spirits of inmorality and homosexuality! In the Name of Jesus! May Your Grace be at work into the hearts of those that are part of Your people! Give strength and courage to those in authority that are supposed to come against these laws! May their voices sound loud and strong, far above the voices of sin and inmorality! Please, Lord, preserve Your children! We lift up Your Name and praise You! Almighty, Powerful and Holy God!To You will be all the glory forever!
In Jesus Name! Amen

I confess and believe in Jesus name that this would be stopped right in its tracks and it will not manifest or come forth!
I confess that you Lord will intervene and answer the prayers of your people and will show favor and honor your word that you will hear and answer our prayers concerning this.
Bring back the Bible in our schools along with prayer Lord Jesus and by your power hold back this bill from coming forth and have mercy and grace not only in California but in all our states as well.
Help us all to repent Father God and turn from our wicked ways that we all may seek your face and hear from heaven so you would heal our land.

California's 'Gay History' Bill Advances (EXCERPT)
By Susan Jones, Senior Editor, CNSNews . com
May 05, 2006
....SB 1437 reads in part, "No textbook or other instructional materials shall be adopted by the state board or by any governing board for use in the public schools that contains any matter reflecting adversely upon persons because of their race or ethnicity, gender, disability, nationality, sexual orientation, or religion." The bill also requires all social studies textbooks to "study the role and contributions of...people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender...with particular emphasis on portraying the role of these groups in contemporary society." The conservative Campaign for Children and Families testified against the "transsexual-bisexual-homosexual curriculum bill," calling it "sexual indoctrination." CCF President Randy Thomasson is urging Americans to "loudly protest at every opportunity," and he is urging Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to announce that such bills will be vetoed when they reach his desk. "Use today's bad news to spur you to righteousness," Thomasson said in a press release. According to Thomasson, the bill authorizes the California Department of Education to sue any school district that does not promote or positively portray transsexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality in textbooks, instructional materials, and school-sponsored activities. "SB 1437 turns every school into a sexual indoctrination center," he said. "This bill isn't about 'safety' or 'discrimination,' it's about leading children into sexual confusion." Thomasson has accused Democrats of "mentally molesting" impressionable children. "Parents send their children to school for academics, not for transsexual, bisexual, or homosexual indoctrination. SB 1437 means schools will promote same-sex 'marriages' and even sex-change operations to kids. "The voters won't stand for this," Thomasson said.

Responding to Pro-gay Social Arguments (EXCERPT)
September 6, 2005
by Joe Dallas
....The pro-gay social justice arguments assume (without proof) that gays are victims, and that the conservative church is largely responsible for their victimhood. These arguments are most effective in secular discussions (talk shows, interviews, university debates) where listeners are unlikely to judge them by Biblical standards. Instead of discerning which side is theologically correct, non-Christian audiences tend to side with whomever seems “nicest.” Usually, that means the gay spokesman asking for anti-discrimination laws or support clubs for gay teenagers. The person against these things – usually a conservative Christian – does not seem “nice,” no matter how nice he or she may truly be. That is not to say pro-gay social justice arguments are unwinnable; answered properly and politely, non-Biblical ideas can be challenged in the secular arena. Paul proved that with the citizens at Mars Hill (Acts 17:22). But the challenger needs to be aware that often, because of his position, he will be seen as the “bad guy.” This is all the more reason to speak with an equal measure of clarity and politeness....We can accept some parts of...pro-gay arguments. We can agree that, in many cases, the homosexual condition -- sexual attractions to the same sex rather than the opposite one -- begins very early in life. And while it's common knowledge that 10 percent of the population is not, nor ever has been, gay, we'll admit there are probably far more homosexuals in the population than we're aware of. Their claim of not having asked for their orientation is, in most cases, true; we ought to feel genuine compassion for people struggling with, or mistreated for, something they never chose. Stanton Jones of Wheaton College puts it well: “If you cannot empathize with a homosexual person because of fear of, or revulsion to, them, then you are failing our Lord.” But where we must part company with promoters of the pro-gay theology is in the conclusions they've drawn. We cannot rewrite Scripture ... to accommodate a sin....
.The Complete Jewish Bible Acts 17:22 Sha'ul stood up in the Council meeting and said, "Men of Athens: I see how very religious you are in every way! 23 For as I was walking around, looking at your shrines, I even found an altar which had been inscribed, 'To An Unknown God.' So, the one whom you are already worshipping in ignorance-this is the one I proclaim to you.

Why does Repent America focus so much attention on homosexuality? (EXCERPT)
We focus on homosexuality for two reasons; First, because the Bible focuses on homosexuality. God has put clear prohibitions against this behavior in both Old (Gen. 18, 19, Lev.18:22) and New Testament (Rom.1:26-27, I Cor. 6:9-11). Secondly, RA gives special emphasis to homosexuality because our society gives special emphasis to homosexuality. It is a lifestyle associated with a massive political lobby and propaganda campaign. We believe it to be our duty to respond with love and truth to those areas where the devil is most diligently attacking....Attempts to normalize homosexuality, as well as efforts to suppress any dissenting voice, are fronts where the devil is certainly attacking with much fury and might. This is cause for Christians to be concerned and to be involved.
Shouldn’t Christians be tolerant and accepting?
Christians should be kind, patient, willing to forgive and gracious. This does not mean wholesale acceptance and toleration of any behavior....We preach boldly and diligently because we care about homosexuals and want to see them set free from sin and to love and serve God....The Bible says that we are born fallen creatures, separated from God with many propensities for sin. This is why Jesus said a man must be born again, with a new nature, which is created in righteousness and true holiness. If we will humble ourselves and ask the Lord Jesus to cleanse us of our sin, putting our life in His hands, this will become a reality in our life.

'My Journey Isn't About Changing Others' (EXCERPT)
Nancy Heche reflects on what God taught her about unconditional love through the painful experience of watching her daughter, Anne, in one of the most public lesbian relationships in history....The focus: to encourage spouses and parents of those who struggle with homosexuality to concentrate not on changing their loved ones, but on allowing God to change their hearts. Heche has had to do just that. Her husband died of AIDS after living a secret homosexual life, and her actress daughter, Anne, is best known for her very public lesbian relationship (with comedian Ellen DeGeneres.),...My journey isn't about changing others. My responsibility...is to grow personally myself and grow spiritually myself. I might have influence on somebody or have an impact or might instruct someone, but I don't have any power to change them or control them....I could relate with that father of the Prodigal Son. I know what it's like to not have a child at home and wonder where they are and be distant from them. But is that going to color my whole life? Or do I have a life of my own personal and spiritual growth? I think as long as I hold on to my anger, it doesn't give a lot of room for growth....To bless means to ask God to interfere in one's life....I'm going to ask God to interfere in your life....I so want people...to be able to live a growth-full life with God -- regardless of their circumstances. So if they will receive from God -- if they will let God interfere in their life and release his power to change their character and destiny -- then they can bless others and not interfere themselves but ask God to interfere. That totally freed me up from trying to figure out what to do in somebody else's life to get them "better." Just bless them and ask God, "God would you go interfere in their life?" Then I'm free to grow in my life.... I had to be blessed in order to give a blessing. The growth has to take place in me. That is all I'm responsible for. Would I love to have it some other way? Sure. I'm such a connector I'd love to have every family be perfect, happy, in love....Relationships with family are the hardest things....It has to be the work of the Spirit. The blessing is not about me trying to get somebody else to change. The blessing is about asking God to release his power to change their character and destiny.... I can't say that I'm free from the judgment or condemnation....But God has worked in my heart. I'll see someone and say something like, "What bad taste." But now I'll ask the Holy Spirit to discipline me and train me. Interfere in my life, take action in my life. So that I don't go to that critical spirit.

Anne Celeste Heche (born May 25, 1969) is an American actress. (EXCERPT)
Anne Heche was born in Aurora, Ohio to Donald Heche, a Baptist minister and choir director, and Nancy. In her book, "Call Me Crazy", Anne claimed that her father molested her during her childhood, giving her herpes; he later disclosed his homosexuality to his family, before dying of AIDS in 1983 at the age of 45....Nancy is a Christian and psychotherapist and does not believe that her late husband sexually abused Anne....Formerly one-half of Hollywood's highest-profile lesbian couple, Anne married cameraman Coley Laffoon September 1, 2001,...a little more than a year after she and Ellen DeGeneres called it quits....Heche postponed her honeymoon in order to conduct a 10-city book tour to promote her autobiography, "Call Me Crazy." In her memoir, Heche reveals...that she spent the first 31 years of her life suffering from mental illness that she says was triggered by sexual abuse at the hands of her father. (Donald Heche was a choir director in a Baptist church who frequented gay bars at night. Heche found out about her father's double life at the age of 12, as he lay dying of AIDS.)....Son Homer Heche Laffoon was born on March 2, 2002....

Stephen Bennett Shares the Truth with 'Gay' Student in Chicago - Now Being Discipled
Several weeks ago, Stephen Bennett traveled to the Chicago area to speak at a local public high school and a public library in the evening - part of the nationwide Alliance Defense Fund's Day of Truth. The events were crowded with a police presence at both.
Stephen Bennett, president of SBM, shared his testimony leaving the homosexual lifestyle back in 1992 with the public high school students. Later that evening at the public library town-hall style meeting, Stephen also shared in depth his conversion due to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Over 150+ students and teachers listened to Bennett at the high school, where he was met with much 'respectful' opposition. In the evening, 25 or so 'gay' activist students returned to the library to hear more along with the numerous other adults from around the community.
SBM just received a praise report from the Alliance Defense Fund today. One student's life was touched and changed in a very profound way. From the Alliance Defense Fund's e-mail alert:
"Despite facing numerous efforts to “silence” their message, God’s redeeming love for their classmates trapped in homosexual behavior came through loud and clear. Besides the encouraging report in last week’s special news alert, there were many more stories of how lives were changed by simply allowing the Truth to be heard.
'One of the boys that came to hear [former homosexual] Stephen Bennett in the evening with a friend of mine from out of town, had an ‘aha’ experience after hearing Stephen’s testimony…The boy had decided he was homosexual… He now believes he is not homosexual…and a few men and women have taken him under their wings…This was a huge answer to prayer.'
Thank you again for making it possible, through your prayers and support, for public school students nationwide to have not only the ability to speak the Truth, but to respond to the life-changing message of the Gospel."
