In many schools April 27th is the Gay Day of Silence, a GLSEN-inspired day of action when students (and some teachers) remain silent to normalize homosexuality, bisexuality and transgenderism. The message is that some people are born gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender and it’s okay. The dangers of engaging in those lifestyles are never discussed, nor is the fact that thousands have left homosexuality and there is a growing “de-transitioning” movement. Is your child’s school allowing silence during instructional time on the Day of Silence?
Action Alert – Homosexual Activists Call for Metcalfe to be Removed
Chairman of the House State Government Committee, Representative Daryl Metcalfe, has been under attack since December 5th because he once again asked Democratic chair Matt Bradford to not touch him.

These soldiers from George Washington’s army died from wounds and sickness during the War for Independence. The memorial itself bears a quote from President Washington’s 1794 Farewell Address, “The independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint councils and joint efforts – of common dangers, sufferings and success.” An “Eternal Flame” is lit in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary War Soldier.
News Release – Lancaster Bible College Commended
At first homosexuals asked to be left alone to live their lives. They continued demanding more and more, until finally they demanded “marriage equality.” Last year the US Supreme Court handed them that demand and still they want more — to force all to accept and celebrate their lifestyle choice. Evidence of this is in the attacks on churches, colleges and organizations which adhere to the Biblical definition of sexuality and marriage. The latest example is the listing of Lancaster Bible College on Campus Pride’s ‘Shame List.’
